Came across this place after reading an article about great black restaurant/places to visit & decided to give it a try. I was slightly hesitant about going due to some of the recent negative reviews, but we gave it a shot anyway.
My son and I are the dessert heads, so we got a few things to try such as the sugar cookies, the banana pudding cupcake, and the turtle brownie. I must add that by the time we got there (after 2pm) they were out of quite a few of the other things we wanted to order such as peach cobbler, oatmeal raisin cookies, and one of the cheesecakes. However, the banana pudding cupcake was DEEELICIOUS! Hate I didn't buy more. It was moist, flavorful and not overwhelmingly sweet- perfect balance. My son immediately began eating his cookies, in which he said he liked. To me, they tasted more like tea cakes, but as long as he was happy. The turtle brownie...err not so much. I was hoping for that ooey gooey brownie that's crunchy on the sides but warm in the center, toppled off with a nice "balance" of chocolate, caramel & pecans - to no avail. This was suuuuper sweet and like overload on the chocolate topping. I had to scraped off quite a bit of the chocolate frosting to get more of the brownie & mix in the pecans because it was so heavily layered on there. Plus, no evidence of the caramel traditionally found in "turtle" flavored desserts. Needless to say I had to eat this in phases, and I only got to two before disposing the rest - it was a bit too rich for me.
But, I shall return & give them another shot for more banana pudding cupcakes or other cupcake flavors, and hopefully they'll have some of the other items I missed.
Chao!
