Desserts & Sweet Treats

Mr baguette is one of those stores that can really turn back time to when I was a kid. The owner serves toast fresh from the oven with a spread of butter and sugar on top. Such a simple treat but oh so nostalgic and delightful!

As a child, my grandma used to make something similar and I would remember how happy I was to munch on her sugar toast. This mini bakery nails its bread and flavours so well, leaving me with so much satisfaction.

It was honestly such a delicious bite! Fresh crispy baguette on the outside, oozing creamy filling inside. It was one hell of a mess but is it worth it? Absolutely yes! The only complain I had was the lack of espresso flavours. Otherwise, this makes the perfect dessert after a feast of amazing dishes around. They also have an extensive list of baguettes to choose from including some really innovative ones such as carbonara, and Adzuki lava which I cannot wait to try next time. 1 piece is sold for $3, 2 pieces for $4 and 6 pieces for $11.

Sophisticated white decor and beautiful marble walls, the New York cake boutique is aesthetic and befitting of its elegant name. It was our first time there and it took us awhile to pick our cakes as we were spoilt for choice. Eventually, we decided on the signature mille crepes, green tea mille crepes and the gateau au chocolat. My favourite of the trio has got to be the signature mille crepe, a delicate cake built with layers of thin buttery crepe and sinful cream that was light and not overly sweet. The green tea version also had that same fragrant eggy flavours to it with a twist of green tea fusion. However, I felt that it was a bit too sweet and I wished the distinct bitterness of the tea shone through more. As for the last cake, it was dense and rich in indulgent chocolate with slices of nuts to give it that extra texture. Topped with smooth chocolate glaze to complete its look, it is one really good chocolate cake indeed. I look forward to trying their other flavours in the future, especially the earl grey mille crepe, an exclusive at the South Beach outlet. I find their special flavours every month an interesting and fun concept as well.
