The little shop is located in a small plaza about 5 min from 99 ranch in Chinatown. Parking is easy as there's a parking lot available. Extremely limited seating (only two small tables and bar seating) and they do not take reservations. No outdoor seating. Definitely not recommended for groups. They serve Lupicia Tea and Illy Coffee. They now have a lunch menu if you want a sandwich.\n\nNOTE: While here, every person must order at least a wine to sit if you're not ordering anything else\n\nDessert Prix Fixe: $19 (To share $24)\nFirst Course: Amuse Bouche\nMain: A Choice of Today's Dessert\nPetit Four\n\n~~ Today's Dessert ~~ (A La Carte: $12) Menu as of 111/23/14\n+Carib\n+Stella\n+Jack in a cup\n+Red Rock\n+Mt.Fuji\n\n~~ Savory ~~\n+Cheese Plate: $9\n+Foie Gras: $18\n+Caviar: $30\n+Jamon Iberico Prociutto: $8\n\n~~ Lupicia Tea ~~\n-- Green Tea--\n+Jasmin: Chinese green tea was scented with jasmine flowers which have sweet aroma like spring breeze.\n+Tokio: Green tea delicately flavored with sweet berries\n+Grapefruit Green: Green tea flavored with fresh grapefruits\n+Strawberry & Vanilla: Green tea with matcha is flavored with sweet fragrance of strawberry and vanilla\n+Paradise Green: Green tea with tropical fruits and bright-colored flower petals\n+Tsugaru Green (Apple Green Tea): Japanese green tea flavored with ''Sun-Tsugaru'' apples from Aomori prefecture in Japan\n\n-- Black Tea --\n+Earl Grey: Earl Grey made with keemun tea\n+Champagne Rose: Black tea flavored with sweet strawberries and champagne\n+Muscat\n+Momo (Peach): Black tea flavored only with Japanese white peaches.

Saw one of the guests order the Carib where the chef poured the heated sauce on top of the sugar cover. The heat from the sauce then melted the cover to cover the dessert underneath in the glass. Such a fun and pretty presentation! \n\nAbsolutely loved the amuse bouche as the pineapple sorbet wasn't overly sweet nor tart. Very refreshing and the white wine jelly complimented the sorbet very nicely as well. The Jack in a Cup is a chocolate souffle with banana creme filling that is injected right in front of you. So fun to watch the souffle rise. The cream puff had an airy but slightly crispy dough with the custard very light and airy (like whipped cream). All the house-made marshmallows were tiny but bursting with flavors.\n\nOur waitress was very polite and described everything perfectly with much enthusiasm. \n\nDefinitely a fun experience and would definitely come back to try their other items.\n\nNOTE: Check out the bathroom. They have a bidet and a waterfall sink faucet with a pretty decor inside the sink!
