It was a good dessert, great hours glad they were open late, honestly feel bad leaving a 3 star because I was so excited to try this place but I was a bit disappointed. I'm a baker myself so I respect the work this family puts into this. Macarons are no joke and super difficult to make and theirs had nice full shells and perfect feet, but the texture/mouthfeel was really weird--not like any italian, swiss or french macarons I've had--perhaps they use a bakery mix or something for them. I'm also more used to macarons with both buttercream and curd filling so it was weird with just filling. The chocolate ganache in the chocolate macaron was yummy though. Was hoping the lemon would be a bit more tart than it was, if the filling was a little brighter of a flavor maybe with more citric acid that would be lovely.The cannoli was unfortunately not crunchy at all, but it did have a nice touch of cinnamon or something in it and a generous amount of chocolate that tasted high quality. Not too sweet. Since I'm not from here I have no idea if it's always this humid or if it contributed to the cannoli getting soft; maybe troubleshooting case humidity control would help. I also got them at end of day about 6pm.The dulce de leche cupcake frosting was delicious; the kinder bar piece on top was also soft rather than crunchy sadly. A good chocolate cake base that tasted fresh. I know the presentation in the case is important but maybe adding the crunchy toppings while boxing them up would be better as little things like the crunchiness can make the difference between good and great! :)Thank you for the dessert tonight and keep up the good work! ?
