This new location has items you can't get at the Lyon St. location. My favorite has to be this Very Berry dessert. I love fruit and sweets. The term jello doesn't do it justice. It was made atop a firm crust that was sweet like a sugar cookie with a very thin layer of cake and then the main cream fruit part with a coating of reduced fresh fruit gelatin. This Mexican hot chocolate cookie lived up to its name. I was thinking hot chocolate with marshmallows. It is in fact a hot (spicy) chocolate cookie with cayenne pepper. It wasn't over-powering...just enough to warm my mouth. The Basque cheesecake: if you prefer a dessert that isn't on the sweet side, this one is for you. It had an eggy taste reminiscent of a true cheesecake, topped with real cream and the strawberry made it taste perfect. If you're like me and don't like nuts, don't get this carrot cake because it's full of them...however the cake itself was delightful...there was no density to it at all...just light and moist. It had great cream cheese icing. The decorative carrot was a disappointment..it was not made of frosting. I think it might've been marzipan? It was something chewy and blah...no flavor to it. Lastly, my second favorite of this trip: a slice of chess pie (dusted with powdered sugar). It was another sweet pastry crust like the Very Berry dessert. The filling was like a cooked milk chocolate custard...very simple and sweet.
