French-Asian Bakery A La Mousse Opens on South Street | Eater Philly

"Known for its pretty cakes infused with matcha, A La Mousse opened its third location on New Year’s Eve on South Street in the former pie shop Magpie after expanding to Narberth a couple months earlier. It first started selling its French-Asian sweets on 11th Street in Chinatown in 2015 and offers photo-ready single-serving baked goods like the matcha mille crêpe cake, which layers 20 thin green crepes, and a triple chocolate concoction with white chocolate mousse stacked on milk chocolate mousse atop a flourless dark chocolate cake. There are also adorable animal-shaped pastries, including a round pig made of vanilla cream cheese mousse, blueberry cream, and almond cake, and a bear with hazelnut feuilletine and chocolate mousse. I also noticed a menu of coffee drinks, fruit teas, milk foam teas, milkshakes, and matcha drinks such as a matcha white mocha latte." - Rachel Vigoda
