Not a chocolate person? That's okay! We have a variety of non-chocolate treats on the menu to satisy every craving. Including our always available, always perfect, and always gluten free creme brulee. Served with whatever fruit is tastiest at the moment, which right now happens to be figs. C'est bon! 🤌
It’s fall…which means we have PSL’s on standby 🎃

Momma’s Chocolate Layer Cake: The same chocolate layer cake we know and love, but now with fall adornments. Three layers of moist and tender chocolate cake are filled and frosted with our decadent cocoa buttercream icing that tastes better than anything found in a can! On the side we’ve got a warm pumpkin bourbon toffee sauce, salted maple pecans, and a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. As always, this cake is also available by the slice.

Cinnamon Toast Bread Pudding: Breakfast, but also dessert! This season’s bread pudding was inspired by the flavors and textures of a warm, buttery slice of cinnamon toast, and the cinnamon spiced milk left behind after a bowl of cereal. We start by buttering fresh brioche from our friends at Macrina Bakery, then we toss it in cinnamon sugar before toasting until golden brown. Next, it gets soaked and baked in a cinnamon scented custard and topped with crunchy bits of spiced brown sugar streusel. Paired with a scoop of ice cream, and Sean’s apple c***r caramel - this one is a must-try for our bread pudding enthusiasts!

Milk & Cookies Molten Cake: This after school snack inspired molten cake contains a creamy malted milk custard, perfect for dunking cookies into. We’ve got not one, but TWO different cookies on the side: our salty cocoa sable crumb, and a tender, chewy mini chocolate chip cookie. Lastly, a rich house made milk jam sits beneath a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Naturally this cake is a big hit with kids of all ages.
Fall has arrived, Hot Cakes style! 🍁✨ We’re turning up the cozy factor this season with a menu full of warm, decadent favorites crafted by Chef Brittany and our BOH team.
We’ve loaded this fall lineup with everything you’ve been craving: a brand-new seasonal molten cake and the triumphant return of customer favorites like bread pudding, pumpkin bread, a candybar milkshake and a rich new variant of our beloved chocolate layer cake!
