Coffee runs, drives, and outings are the perfect ways to catch up with friends, family, or with yourself (solo dates are a necessary form of self-care). But let me tell you that our magnum opus is desserts drives, runs, and dates – they are just better, and coffee tastes way better with them. If you are the same, we know you like experimenting with various desserts that the patisserie offers, and to diversify that list, we are bringing the best places to have Baklava – a Turkish layered filo pastry, drenched in simple syrup. It is light and indulgent, and you have to make it a part of your dessert expeditions, as it's an experience you don't wanna miss out on.
