| - What a cute spot!
After stuffing our faces with brunch, we shamelessly drove over to Serenade for dessert. We used the excuse of having friends in from out of town to permit our such gluttony.
First things first: free Wi-Fi. This is magical and amazing when you have T-Mobile which is AWFUL in Las Vegas.
We ordered a gut attack of sweet and caffeinated goodness.
Green Tea Bingsoo (Shaved Ice)

I can't name all of the components but, being a filipina who loves halo halo, this made me feel at home. Shaved ice, green tea flavored milk, red beans, pecans, almonds, green tea ice cream, and cornflakes all make for a refreshing "sweet-but-not-too-sweet" treat.
Mango, Blackberry, and Almond Macarons

These were all well done texturally, in my opinion, but the almond filling won hands down.
Espresso con Panna

The espresso was excellent! It was syrupy and flavorful. The whipped cream was a happy treat.
Not pictured:
Cappucino
My husband had the cappuccino, which was beautiful. However, he's not a cinnamon person so he scraped that off and then happily drank it down.
Honey Toast
Good grief, yes! Crusty toasty with melty, sugary butter topped with ice cream cannot be bad.
Green Tea Latte
Very good here. Creamy and tasty.
Sadly, I only have one stomach, so I have to save getting the pistachio bingsoo and pistachio latte for another trip. Until then, I'll obsess about what could have been (I LOVE pistachio flavored anything!).
