While I sat to people-watch, more like Devan R-watch as he blazed off to the WAYLA Elite Event late as usual, I sipped my La CourTisane Tea(Teabag) from a Mug and cut into the light & airy Lemon Mousse Cake($4.00+). The friendly front-of-house staff suggested the Rocky Road Square but I asked for something less rich dense for my first meal of the evening.
I didn't see any posting of hours on the door but as you know, if I see light inside I will walk in. I found out they closed 8:00 pm on Tuesday nights but not sure about other days. I too did hear the back-of-house staff instruct the staff at the front as Magdalena noticed. 2.5 *Star*
As I walked out and said goodbye to the friendly front-staff, I saw an unwelcoming expression from the secondary staff's face. Rough-day-at-work look, the same I had and needed a Tea to keep me going for the party ahead. Maybe if they had some music in this place to lighten everyone's mood, it would feel like a welcome staycation rather than grab-n-go.
As Isabella L commented, some Cakes/Sweets could possibly have a dry taste as I notice at the end-of-night they put the plastic dome over the Cakes. Standard practice which also means your odds of getting a moist fresh slice increases if you select a slice from the Cake that hasn't already been cut into, such as the one I had.
The Lemon Mousse Cake was a good recommendation. It definitely had the Lemon acidity while the Angel Food(?) Cake layers were nicely airy/light. Topped with White Chocolate shavings and a yummy Lemon Gummy I enjoyed while walking the few steps to meet Vivek(Toronto CM) & Friends to get my assigned Name Tag(WaYnE c.).
