Chocolate marjolaine ($7.50) is one of the bakery’s most popular desserts, consisting of chocolate meringue filled with white chocolate and topped with a crunchy chocolate garnish served with raspberries. The treat is also gluten-free.
The berry tiramisu ($7.50) is beautifully crafted with Galbarni mascarpone (a high-quality cheese from Italy), vanilla genoise and roulade filled with blueberries and raspberries.
