Si je pouvais vous mettre 0, ce serait amplement mérité. Ce sont les pires desserts que j'aie jamais goûtés.
Le trompe-l'oeil fraise : à l'intérieur, un simple morceau de fraise congelée, même pas fraîche, sans aucun confit, gel ou quoi que ce soit. Le reste, ce sont juste des chantilly avec une goutte de vanille, recouvertes de velours 😂 Sérieusement ? Vous vendez ça 15 $ ?
Le dessert au arachide : à l'intérieur, uniquement une pâte d'arachide bas de gamme du supermarché voisin, avec des morceaux de fruits secs détrempés & mous. Même chose pour le'ganache', si tant est que ce soit réellement une ganache.
I am willing to pay good money for good desserts but $33.34 (no tip) for these 2 desserts was a bit excessive. The strawberry was better than the mango but not good enough. Although the presentation was nice the flavours are just not there… I think the place has potential but service needs to improve as well as the cleanliness of the place & I don't understand the mannequin in the window…
Spent a casual thrusday evening here because we were craving some crepes. Raymond was veey sweet to prepare my crepes exactly the way I wanted it which I really appreciated. Defintely a good spot to chill with friends & have a treat. Ate the crepes before I could take a picture 😅
Tried this place & honestly loved it. The desserts tasted fresh & weren't overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Everything looked so good it was hard to choose. The vibe was cozy, & the staff were super kind. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.
If you love pistachio, this is THE PLACE. Very delicious choices of everything pistachio & sweet. They are so friendly & welcoming & the place is adorable & very clean. Coffee is yummy too! We will come here anytime we visit Montreal.
