Driving home from dinner and in the mood for something sweet, my girlfriend hit up her iPhone and searched "desserts." We just happened to be passing near Indian School and Hayden to get to the Loop 101, and Scratch came up on top. In a 'why not give something new a try' mood, we checked to see if it was open at 8:00 on a Wednesday night, and to what would become our joy, it was.
We walked up to the dessert counter, and took a look at a marvelous selection of pastries. We decided to grab two and head home. We went with the Opera. A chocolate cake with coffee cream covered by a hard chocolate dome. Quite good. We also had the Mogador. A chocolate raspberry cake. Also delicious.
To our surprise this little place is more than just a bakery. It's a full blown french bistro. A great cafe selection of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast items; along with a full dinner menu. There's also a very intimate ambiance. While there's not a whole lot of room in the dinning room, it doesn't feel too cramped. The tables are also set up very nicely, it almost looks like your at a wedding. I'm going to have to come back and give the entrees a try!
