Review from Casey Y.

Not bad at all, the flavors were pretty good and the servings were very generous (two scoops are humongous). This makes the price for the double scoops very much worth it.
They served gelato, which was soft and nice. Four of my friends and I stopped by on Saturday, tried lots of different flavors; 3 of us ended up getting double scoops on waffle cones.
The berry flavors were all very good, the tiramisu was a bit on the disappointing side. I guess the name is just the allure and there's no way there would be mascarpone cheese in gelato (the price would explode). -

I am going to get straight to the point here. All I can really say is WTF?
It sure is a sin to go to this place. Its a big insult to desert. It is clearly obvious all of the items are premade/frozen. I tried a piece of the chocolate cake and it was crap. Its so obvious the cake was made from a premade cake batter as was the icing.
There are no fresh items here at all and as far as I am concerned should close down immediately! It is wayyyy over priced.
Why go to this place when you can go to sweet obsession for the best deserts for the same price....
Avoid, avoid, avoid! -

More like 7 Deadly Sins! This place makes me drool like a fat-roley-poley bulldog! They have a whole display case filled with sweet desserts that look super yummy, and the pinkness of the place makes you want to squee! The BF and I stopped in here to grab a dessert to go for his bday, I didn't actually know you could come in and sit down, I just assumed it was a little bakery with sweet treats to go, but there are a few tables inside.
The BF had the black forest cake and I had the caramel apple cheesecake, and both were soooooo good! The cheesecake had little chunks of apple in it, and crumbley bits on top with some caramel drizzled over it. I was a little sad that I had such a bad cold and stuffed up nose because I couldn't smell how amazing I imagined it would taste. I guess that just gives me an excuse to go back and try a different dessert right? Of the seven deadly sins, mine will definitely be gluttony! -

First of all, this place is not a bakery... as they do not bake anything that they sell. Everything comes frozed, and gets plopped into the coolers. on average, the desserts range from $4-$5 bucks... and they arent very big. It almost looks like they went to costco, and bought out their dessert section... yuk.
I've had ice cream here twice, and each time the ice cream has been old. (covered in ice crystals), and just not very good. They have a wierd little "cafe" setup in the corner, but I would not be able to stand the pepto bismal pink walls for more than 5 minutes....take it to go. -

Atmosphere: Very very pink, the entire décor is in Barbie Birthday pink. Cute, however, overwhelming. The seating is a bit awkard, however, it is easy to get over that.
Location: Is good as it is right by GM Place, however, you really have to find if you happen to be walking toward Tinsel Town.
Price: Fair price between $2 - $6, nothing expensive, standard bakery prices.
Food: Nothing spectacular other than bubble tea, ice cream and some pastries. The pastries were that special to be honest. They looked as though they were store bought from the TNT Market on the other block. This is where the rating lost points is with the pastries being store bought rather than in house or commissary prepared.
General comments: It seems as though they paid more attention to the décor and less about the product. It is good If you're just looking for a quick sweet tooth fix. Perfect for little teenage girls to hang out in before or after a show. They had a bunch of people write notes on the wall, mostly from teenage Justin Bieber fans which was a little funny and tragic at the same time. The cool thing is that they are open until Midnight, therefore, if I ever get a craving after a concert for sweet things I know that Mcshits isn't my only late night option. -

Tiramisu - Dry, tastes like it's been sitting for a while. Nothing like I've had before - This seems to be a really difficult one to get right. Definitely not recommended.
New York Cheesecake - Not bad. Definitely much better than the Tiramisu, but nothing special. Very similar in taste to safeway brand cheesecake - so it's probably cheaper just to buy it at Safeway.
Apple pie - Not bad! A little sweet, but overall the best out of the three.
Everything looked to be around the same price $4.95 per slice/piece.
Presentation of cakes was great! It's a shame the quality wasn't better. Probably wont come back, but happy to have finally tried this place. -

Very dangerous place to walk by. Their hazelnut tart is fantastically rich and nutty.
Today I was going to also order a hot chocolate with the tart. But they told me it was powder hot chocolate. A place with such good dessert shouldn't cheap out on the drinks. They go together like PBJ. -

This is a cute little French bakery with great Parisian ambiance and friendly staff however average quality food sold at high prices. Although I really liked their pecan tartlets and gelato, their creme brulee and brownies were among the worst I've tasted so far.
