If you're a lover of sweets--heck, if you've ever eaten a dessert at all--you owe it to yourself to visit this unique cafe. Chef and proprietor Karen Krasne's name features prominently on the sign, as well it should: Krasne's talent surpasses the promise of her impressive pedigree, which includes a Certificate de Patisserie from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. Dozens of divine creations are available daily, and even the humble carrot cake is savory enough to wow naysayers. Others--mostly garnished with edible gold or flowers--include a passion fruit ricotta torte bursting with kiwis, strawberries, and bananas; a gianduia of chocolate cake lathered with hazelnut butter cream, chocolate mousse, and boysenberry preserves, and sprinkled with shards of praline; or the new bête noir, which is a dark chocolate cake layered with vanilla crème brûlée, chocolate mousse, and chocolate truffle cream. Originally educated in Hawaii, Krasne likes to incorporate island touches like macadamia nuts, fresh coconut, fruit, and pure Kona coffee. Her Parisian experience is also represented; the shop sells tea and accouterments from the fine salon Mariage Frères, as well as boutique items like candles and bath products.
