Sweet Obsession

One night, I decided we needed to go for a drive post-dinner.  Hubbs and I explored the west end of Van and at one point, we passed a place called Trafalgar's, which advertised that they served dessert from Sweet Obsession.  Never one to pass on dessert, we decided to stop in and pick something up to go.

Hubbs ordered an apple tart and a mountain of creampuffs, which they called the St. Honore.  I had an apple strudel-like dessert.  All were amazing, especially my very flaky and buttery strudel dessert.  These were so good, in fact, that we came back the very next night to get desserts to go.  This second night, we had the tiramisu cake, which was light enough to be delicious, and decadent enough to be satisfying.

Neither visit had us sitting in the cafe, which seems to offer a few tables (most of which were occupied both times that we were there).  I think perhaps in the future we will give it a go dining in; the atmosphere was relaxed and casual and comfortable and cheery.  

Prices are reasonable, maybe a bit higher than at some other dessert places, but certainly not more than having dessert at Blue Water Cafe ;)  Given the yumminess of the sweets, however, we will be back to try more of their goodies.  

Highly recommended for: late-night sweets, romantic cheap dates, and take-out.


Service: Hard to say since we didn't dine in...
Food: 4.5 out of 5
