| - This is my dining highlight of the past five years, and I am a food snob. Serendipity brought me here and I'll be talking about it for the rest of my life. Superb staff, their desserts are heavenly, the ambiance was perfect, the bathroom had me giddy with laughter, and you have to just applaud how they have taken a suburban parking-lot mall storefront and made you completely forget where you are by the artistic and lovely way they separate you from the outside world by a transparent wall of nice wines (including some Opus One). My dessert was not on the menu - they made is especially for me upon request because I had just come from dinner at Raku and was told that the dessert I ordered following dinner had been discontinued for some time but that if I came to Sweets Raku and asked them to make it they would know what I was asking for and might be able to accommodate. They did, and what a delight! To make this even better, since I am a coffee snob, I can report that the Americano they served me was excellent. The staff were all cute, perfectly dressed, and intimately knowledgeable about every ingredient that is part of their intricate dessert compositions. I reached a level of happiness while dining there - let's call it elation - that I carried with me well into the next morning. In my experience, that's rare and good cause for a five-star rating!
