Mother in law lives in the area and the pistachio eclairs passes her critical radar with flying colors. 10 years as a customer at this joint proves I still aim to please the inlaws, (especially hubby's mom) during famjams! Their store is a bit outdated and looks abandoned and old from outside. The inside is clean and has about 3 tables and the desserts are displayed neatly. They also sell specialty jams and other candies and chocolates. It is beside the Xe Lua resto(which is another fave place to get my pho fix) so we kill two birds with one stone whenever we are in the area.
Russian desserts are quite delightful when you want to indulge without having to reach for water after every few bites. My daughter loves the meringue and my sweet tooth craves for the pistachio eclairs-highly recommended! 6 eclairs and 1 meringue came up to a total of $18+ so I think it's quite cheap compared to other specialty shops. The consistent great taste also raises the value and you do get your money's worth.
Everyone looks forward to dessert and I think Chocolada just gets it! I have yet to try their cakes. To be continued for sure...
