I'm reviewing this spot as a dessert spot
1. Because I've only been there once, and only ate dessert
2. Because a search for dessert spots in the Beaches at this time, really yields nothing spectacular (other than Ed's Real Scoop, but since these places are nearly side by side, you can have your cake and ice cream AND eat them too!)
My boyfriend and I were looking for a dessert spot in the area and weren't overly excited about booking it out to the nearest Cafe Demetre on the Danforth, so we thought we'd just cruise down Queen Street East and test our luck. We saw the cute, candlelight Beacher Cafe and thought we'd drop in. We weren't disappointed - the place has a number of fresh cakes and pies by the slice, and a diverse menu of wines and specialty cocktails. My boyfriend was even able to order a B52, as they had no specialty coffees on the menu (the only thing that was a little strange, as it's winter and all the cocktails listed were iced) and yet it was made perfectly to order. We had the Chocolate Raspberry Cake and 1 slice was giant enough to satisfty the sweet tooth of us both.
We were the only couple in the place at 9 pm on a Saturday, but that didn't stop us from throughly enjoying our dessert. Great spot overall!
