The desserts are beyond surprisingly good. I was completely sold that I had to come thrice in a day.
First time was a puff with raspberry filling and white chocolate cream and pistachio flakes on top. At first glance, the puff seems overbaked too hard, but when I managed to have all elements in single bite, it was quite magical. You have all different flavors and textures blending in perfectly, especially the white chocolate cream was doing a lot bridging them together. So it didnt only look good, it tasted even more so.
The second time I had the white chocolate cherry tart. It looks pretty darn normal, but again, the layers of flavors/textures are so well thought. Pretty convinced they made their own cherry fillings (not much sweet at all, all cherry aroma), and there’s actually a layer of dark chocolate alongside the cherry underneath the smooth but strong chocolate cream; last at the bottom you have a nice crust. Different intensity/texture of chocolate elements came through at different time, with a nice fruitiness at the base. I almost wanted to take a 2nd one (also the last one available) but another customer went before me.
The 3rd visit was a cake with similar flavors but less impressive because it wasn’t kept cold enough and because the textures weren’t as varied. But it is what it is, and still tasted good. Just not stellar like the previous two.
Coffee-wise, I think it’s a good pairing with desserts for its full body. But nothing much too remarkable. But the dessert did make me wanna come to Poznan again.
