Absolutely love the desserts here! Everything looks so delicious, it is hard to choose! I love the pistachio baclava ice cream cake.
Melissa, our server, was lovely!
10/10
Great ambience, very nice service! We took some desserts to go & the server told us she would keep it fresh in the fridge while we had our treats here. I had pistachio gelato (tastes like real pistachio) & my bf had the ice cream cake, which was good & presented nicely!

Good service & yummy options :) ordered pistachio icecream & the raspberry trompe doeuil. Raspberry has nice white mousse with faint lemon flavour & raspberry jam.
Also baklava was nice :)
Super cute place for all of the girlies & influencers (which I am not but I have a monthly budget for sweets!) I got the viral trompe l'oeil & it was a little disappointing. Took them to go & the box opened in the car had to eat them on the way. Beautiful on the outside but tasted like regular vanilla ice cream on the inside with rock hard interior. Good for pictures!

I can't understand how all those food bloggers claim that those trompe-oeil cakes are so tasty & amazing. It's an overpriced crust full of color around basic cream with no flavor or nice texture. Even the cheese cake is sub par. The chocolate ice-cream tastes like cheap basic cacao powder. Everything looks good, but nothing i tried tasted good or was worth the price.
we got a huge order for my family 2 chimney cakes, ice cream & a mango trompe l'oeil for my parents. they don't really eat sweets but they really liked it. the chimney cakes were delightful as well. & the service ? 10/10 definitely worth the detour!
Love this cafe! Great little dessert & ice cream options. I had a pistachio cheesecake, pistachio Baklava split inside with baklava ice cream & pistachio ice cream. Also with a pistachio ice latte. Everything was made internally & was delicious! My new favourite place!

A lovely little shop with a fresh vibe, refreshing ice cream, & delicious desserts. The staff were friendly & patient, & let us sample several flavors. Highly recommend the pistachio & blackberry ice cream, the pistachio is distinctive, & the blackberry is bright & appetizing.
