| - Came here with a couple of friends around 7-8 ish pm wanting to satisfy our sweet tooth and to finish off the day out with them with a sugar high and full bellies.
The place had a cool and edgy interior, with circular themes all around. We came in and I was quite surprised that there weren't a lot of people - maybe 2 tables of couples when we came in? It was kinda quiet too. Maybe the busy hours aren't until later when movie go-ers finish watching stuff from the movie theater near by.
We came in and I didn't really get a good vibe from the staff. We were seated at the round booth which I thought was really comfy and roomy. She definitely wasn't as enthusiastic and cheery as I expected from dessert places. She did kept checking in on us which was nice, but we didn't stay too long.
Friends and I ordered their NY-Style Cheesecake with strawberries and strawberry sauce, and they also ordered the chocolate lava cake and another cheesecake for take-out (Will talk about those take-out items later). The cheesecake was dense just the way I liked it, and the tartness of the strawberries balanced the sweetness of the sauce and the cake. We ordered this one because it caught our attention on their menu photo, which had a lot more strawberries than the one presented to us. I wish the slice was a bit bigger considering we paid $9+ for one slice. Overall kinda underwhelming in consideration of previous cheesecakes I've had, the menu photo, and the price. 4/10.
We also ordered their nachos, which came with cheese, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, onions; the usual things on nachos. Came also with 2 mini sour cream, and 2 salsa sauce bowls. We decided to add bacon to our nachos, which is additional cost. The course itself was okay; I've had cheesier, hotter, and tastier nachos, but I liked how it was a 3-flavoured/coloured nacho chips that they used. Definitely added to the colour visuals of the plate. By the end of our stay there my mouth was burning like crazy from the jalapenos and there was no re-filled water glasses to be found.
The take-out items were okay... but I don't think we'll be doing take-out here anymore because of the high price for just the slices/lava cake. No plating/decor/whipped cream/ice cream/sauces with the take-out.
This place is most suited for dining in and eating their desserts. Maybe I'll come back for those and their specialty drinks.
