As usual, I was in the mood for some sweets and remembered that I have this place bookmarked. Off to the dessert wonderland I went!
Upon entry, I was greeted by a selection of gorgeous and elegant cakes and tarts, decisions decisions! Finally settled on the Carrot Cake, Banoffee Tart and Smoresee-misu. The flavours for all three were beautifully spot on, and there was no mistaking the distinct traits of each of them - the warm spices of a carrot cake, the custardy banana flavour of a banoffee, and the coffee hit of a tiramisu. The crust of the Banoffee Tart was the only thing that I didn't quite enjoy as it was a bit dry and crumbly.
I enjoyed my dirty chai very much; it was akin to a warm embrace of spices on my tastebud. The skinny latte was a pleasure to drink too.
There are savoury options too if desserts aren't your thing, and two thing in particular caught my eye - truffle croquettes and haloumi nuggets. I sense that there will be a return visit in the very near future.
Warning: you will not stop thinking about the PEANUT BRITTLE BUTTER. Once you’ve had a mouthful, you’ll be stocking the pantry. It’s sweet, rich and loaded with peanuts. seriously delicious. Get on it!
Okay, now to the actual desserts - plenty on offer in the display, but the two that grabbed our attention were..
The ESPRESSO WAGONWHEEL, with the fluffiest house-made marshmallow sandwiched between two buttery biscuits, dipped in plenty of Valrohna chocolate. With a nice coffee kick. Wow!!
and TEXTURES OF CHOCOLATE - a rich fudgey brownie topped with white chocolate mousse, milk chocolate ganache, choc shards, and a sweet and silky glaze. This was heaven.
They stock a few places around town, but go in and you can watch them make these gorgeous treats out of their open kitchen.
This place is such a hidden gem filled with yummy delights. Gaze at the beautiful display of cakes ad you struggle to decide on which ones to get. I choose to go with their Easter range and they werte delicious. Definitely worth a visit, staff are incredibly friendly.
