Desserts on a Mission

Location: 372 Third Avenue

Price: Average ($$)

Atmosphere: Grab & Go; Wall to wall selections

Customer Service: Terrible service; Maybe it was the woman that helped me or the workers are just overworked and underpaid; Slow, unfriendly, and not enthusiastic *D for service*

What I ordered: Tiramisu

Review:  Not only was the service bad, but the pastry was even worse. It was dry and not made with the right ingredients. It was way too sweet for tiramisu and the filling was stiff as cardboard. Anyone who has had real tiramisu knows that the topping is not to be made with buttercream and that the consistency should be creamy with a hint of coffee. Whatever I had, was not tiramisu, but some bad imitation.

What I ordered:   Cream Puff

Review: Looks better than it tastes. Clearly is was not a best seller because it tasted like it sat in the refrigerator for a few days. The puff pastry lost its crispiness and was soft and dry. The consistency of the custard was extremely thick and tasted like raw eggs. The strawberries garnishing the sides were rotting and the whipped cream center was clearly not French cream and tasted like cool-whip.
