Located at the corner of a strip mall, this dessert shop (I wouldn't call it a bakery because they do not sell bread) sells a small number of desserts with many different flavors. They have 7 different flavors of cupcakes, 10 different flavors of choux, 7 different flavors of macarons, and other miscellaneous desserts.
I had the vanilla cupcake, chocolate tart, pavlova, Napoleon Mille Feuille, and 4 different flavors of choux (black sesame, matcha, mango, and pistachio raspberry). The vanilla cupcake was good. It was soft and fluffy. The cream wasn't too sweet. The chocolate tart filling was semi-sweet which was good. The tart shell was baked well too. However, the tart was destroyed by the dollops of chocolate cream on top. There wasn't a need to cover a good chocolate tart with whipped cream. The pavlova was sweet as it should be, but it wasn't airy enough. Again, it was ruined by the tall amount of whipped cream on top. Some whipped cream is fine, but the chef overdid it. Pavlova isn't originated from France by the way. The Napoleon Mille Feuille shouldn't be called a Mille Feuille. The pastry was merely a heap of whipped cream with bits of strawberries and blueberries encased in a puff pastry. The puff pastry was crispy and flaky, but there wasn't much lamination. There was way too much cream which was not proportionate to the amount of puff pastry. The 4 choux pastries were slightly over baked. The color was too dark, and they were crispy instead of soft. However, the choux pastries were filled nicely with no empty pockets. The fillings were great. Love the black sesame filling that had the bitter taste, which was authentic. The matcha filling was delicious too. Matcha tasted bitter with slight sweetness. As for the mango, and pistachio raspberry flavors, they were just ok.
Service was meh. The staff didn't know a good way to box the desserts. Initially she put all the desserts into one big box without any dividers even though I asked for it. After seeing all my cream pastries touching each other, I had to ask the staff to separate the desserts into individual boxes.
No thank you Desseire.
