Dessert

Refreshingly tart and subtle. #latergram

The former was enjoyable in its masculine sweetness, like an NSF Commando officer with his girlfriend. However, despite its whiffs of alcohol, the cake tasted rather flat and tired, like the same officer after outfield exercise. Coffee: 4/5 Cake: 3.25/5

The presentation is cute, but on the other hand, I do find food served in flower pots a little off-putting, especially when it looks so much like soil. Just psychological, of course. Tastewise, this kitschy chocolate-and-cream innovation certainly did not deliver the satisfaction that comes from a boozy powerhouse of a traditional tiramisu, but then again, I don't suppose it's meant to be traditional in any sense.

A brand new gelato/ waffles place at East Village. Opened in Nov 2014, this place serves homemade gelato ($7.50) and coffee ($3.50) at decent prices. I like that waffles was done warm and fluffy. Because it's gelato, it's softer than usual. Try the banana & salted caramel flavors.

Cakes here are honestly quite pricy. This for example costs $8.50 and was honestly not great.

Very flavorful

St Petersburg is definitely more tourist friendly than the capital city.

Mega sugar rush.
