| - After indulging my favourite smoked meat at Schwartz's, I walked by this dessert place and got attracted by its bright, open, pretty (and girly) decor. It was a cool and quiet Sunday afternoon, and we were seated on the side while all the windows/doors were opened. Nice fresh air and people watching!
We ordered few items to satisfy our sweet tooth craving:
- Classic style dark semi-sweet hot chocolate ($4.99)
- The Velvety Chill ~ chilled milk chocolate, Baileys, scoop of hazelnut ice cream, and a dash of fleur de sel caramel ($10.50)
- regular coffee
- Gianduja and lime mousse cake ($5.99)
We loved the iced chocolate Baileys drink the most. It's very smooth and not overly sweet. Seriously, Baileys makes everything taste so much better!!! LOL
Hot chocolate was presented in a weird bowl and milk jug. Initially we didn't know what to do with the bowl. It tasted pretty good.
Coffee was A-okay, nothing to write about.
Mousse cake was meh. I have had much better cake elsewhere. The cake bottom could be more interesting if it was made crunchier.
Service was pretty good. Many Yelpers have complained that the service was cold. I guess we were lucky on that day. It wasn't exceptionally warm, but it was attentive enough. Just a bit slow, but that's what I found in many Montreal eateries. Is it because Montreal people are more laid back? :P
They do have some cute chocolate items for sale in their fridge. Heard of Chocolate Lipsticks before? :D They looked very real indeed!
This place is definitely on the expensive side. Would I be back? May be. I wouldn't mind coming back for a girls day/night out or a date, but not for a quick chocolate fix on my own.
3.5 stars
