Oh the many adventures your taste buds will take you here at BB Cafe! Rose water, pomegranate, saffron, cardamom...truly a party for your senses.
Being my usual curious self I started asking about all the desserts. Tried their traditional desserts: Faloodah and Zoolbia but when we arrived at the cookie section the lovely staff member handed me a plate of assorted cookie samples to try, what a sweetheart!
Hubby and I decided on a scoop of Saffron ice cream with a hint of rose water, a scoop of pomegranate ice cream and a pot of Persian tea (enough for two cups) to eat in, and a single serve Napoleon with pistachios and a mini chocolate mousse cake to go.
Persian desserts are NOT meant to be gobbled up haphazardly. Enjoy the experience of the moment and appreciate the ability of your tongue to distinguish all the different textures, spices and flavors used to craft their delicacies.
Some reviewers complained that the desserts are too sweet but you need to know the trick to enjoying their exotic offerings. You take a small bite then follow it up with a sip of their delicious Persian tea, no need to sweeten your tea with additional sugar AHA! Their desserts are a perfect accompaniment to their tea.
The best time to come is during non peak times so that you'll have the undivided attention of the staff. There are no labels on the desserts so if you're unfamiliar with Persian desserts you'll just have to ask. Fortunately the staff are more than willing to answer any questions and offer multiple samples for you to try.
They have second floor seating good for big groups which also has a balcony. They have plans to expand their dessert and drink menu to include food items like their other location.
