108 is a new cafe ? What attracted me was the word CHOCOLATE. Why? Because in the midst of Scarborough, one would find many Asian cuisine but chocolate with dessert is a rarity!
So I drove there to find out more..
What I saw was a real life chocolate making machine, churning away making scrumptious chocolate dessert.
In the fridge was all sorts of hand made truffles with quality rivaling to many high end places! but NOt at the high end pice.
In the shelf, there was dark, milk chocolate dessert bars... Taste better than Godiva and 1/3 the price..
I decided to try their latte and creme brûlée,
The latte was nicely decorated with an artistic flair. I found out later that the chocolatier lady is the dame artist who adorned the walls with many photographs , her work..
Latte was quite good.. Strong but not over powering..
The creme brûlée that I ordered was ginger .. It was sweet with a tinge of ginger.
Being an Asian place, desserts tend to be less sugary which is fine by me.
Suggestion would be to serve it with a bit of plating, similar to the latte...
The place is cozy . The enthusiasm of the server is to please .. Some minor start up challenge e.g. Serve latte with options of chocolate, cinnamon powder will add a special touch.
Overall, a quaint new place for people who enjoy desserts with a French flair without the high price...
A gem in the "hood"!
