Dessert Bar

Disappointed. I ordered a cosmo with a top shelf liquor. I can taste the difference. I swear they used the cheap stuff. A friend ordered a slice of cake. I was shocked when I was in BJ’s a few days later and found the cake there! Really? I will not be going back. My friends can go some place else.

So is this place out of business or what? Went by today at 7:00 to a place that looks closed for good. Was pretty excited to try it. Too bad.

This place has GOT to be a front for something else, because I do not understand how it is still in business. We moved to Leominster two years ago and when we saw this place, we thought we would be there every day. The idea is excellent, and definitely needed in a place like downtown Leominster where decent bars are few and far between. When we went, it was 9pm on a Saturday night and absolutely dead. My husband ordered a gin and tonic and I kid you not, the bartender asked how you made that. What?!? My martini was good, I will give them that, but the desserts were not homemade. I got a cheesecake that you could tell was frozen 24 hours ago and probably defrosted and refroze several times during that period. The décor is super cheesy, I don’t know what is going on in their store front, but it looks horrendous. We haven’t been back since and I am not sure how they are still open 2 years later because it always seems empty! If they could just get a decent interior decorator, a knowledgeable bartender and hook up with one of the local bakeries in town, they would be golden!

Horrible! Bad service. Forgot about us after they seated us (by dragging a table and chairs) in the middle of the room and we had asked to be moved and keep in mind we made RESERVATIONS! Besides the horrible service the desserts weren’t even good. Tasted (and looked) store bought and way too expensive. Will NEVER go back.

This was a review that was stuck in my drafts. We went there around Valentines Day 2012.
I felt compelled to still post this review because I still remember how horrible it was.

This place makes its own hours — just went by to enjoy some late night sweets and they were closed. This is not the first time this has happened.

This place is a joke. They don’t have any beer on tap. I asked for a Sam Adams and they brought me a goose island beer saying it was sam Adams from Chicago. The beer was fine, but really? No Sam?! That beer was $ 7. Then I saw they had Guinness. $ 8! They only had two so yet again I had to find another beer. I ordered a whiskey ginger that had a whole lot more ginger than whiskey. Every drink i ordered at this place left a lot to be desired.
Some places justify high costs with professionalism, but not here. The bartenders didn’t understand that I would want a tab open, and the martinis from their menu came out different every time.
We were there for a Christmas party for my wife’s work. The pasta was undercooked, hard to eat with the slippery plastic cutlery and the dessert was minuscule. And my wife had a hair in hers.
Save your money, go somewhere else. this place will probably be closed soon anyways.

I was so excited to try this place, but I should have read Unilocal!Yelpers don’t lie. Okay, I didn’t finish my dessert and didn’t order wine. Why, you ask? The dessert was, yes, frozen. Completely frozen solid. Like, it was hard to stick my spoon into «gelato». Icky. Then the wine… oh the wine! There’s a choice of cab sav, chard, and a few other categories. No names. No regions. NO WAY!

If I really wanted a dessert out of a box and NOT freshly made on site I would just open my freezer and take out the frozen cheesecake from 3 thanksgivings ago which would still be better than what we had there. Owner seems to just like to go and hang out and talk while a one man bartender/​waiter runs around like a chicken.

Cute place. Great for catching up with friends over a few cocktails. Martinis are decent however my only compliant is that it’s kind of pricey.$ 10 martinis… ok fine that’s about average but really $ 10 desserts too… which would be fine if there was something spectacular about them but honestly the desserts tasted like they came out of the freezer, thawed, sprayed w/​whip cream and serve to you. Not that it tastes bad or anything, just overpriced for what it is!

The two stars are solely for the martinis, which were excellent. My friend & I ordered the mocha almondini, the mixed berry one, & the pama martini, all of which were great — the mocha one tasted like liquid mocha almond ice cream, & the pomegranate in the pama martini wasn’t overpowered by the booze. Go here for tasty drinks.
However, I’m not sure why people are so stoked on the interior. The lighting is awkward, there are multiple copies of the same boring print on the walls, the windows facing the street are awkwardly staged — they really have not done enough to redo this space from whatever it used to be. Also, it was absolutely dead at 11 on a Saturday night. By 12, we were the last ones there & they were closing up shop for the night. Our waitress brought us our receipts with her coat in her hand! Maybe this spot is geared more toward the directly-​after-​dinner crowd, but the whole street was dead as well.
& then the desserts. This is a DESSERT BAR, so you’d think they’d have fabulous desserts, or at least know how to make the basic ones, right? What a disappointment. My friend ordered the triple chocolate cake, which was decent, but not anything to write home about. I ordered the crème brûlée… what I received was something that sort of resembled a crème brûlée, but had been stuck in a microwave or something & tasted weirdly like scrambled eggs. The top wasn’t crispy, it was smoking hot — I couldn’t eat it.

stopped in with friends, the atmosphere was amazing, big comfy chairs, lighting was great, very urban in a strip mall on main st. My martini was wonderful and the lemon cake was divine, can’t wait to go again. We all loved it!

Nice place, leominster hidden jewel for sure, coffee was good, my red velvet cheesecake was really dry but tiramisu was delish, all in all a nice place without having to drive to worcester.

The décor and atmosphere is great here, it looks like it belongs somewhere in the city.
Given that it’s a dessert bar though, you would expect to find great desserts. I had the espresso crème brûlée and it was so disappointing. They didn’t torch the sugar at the top, it was not crispy at all. And to make matters worse, the crème brûlée was watery! The coffee was not great either. It seems like they either ordered it from elsewhere, or had it sitting around.
With that said though, I might go back just because there’s no other places similar to it in atmosphere, but the desserts were a big letdown.

Well let me start by saying this review is based on SERVICE and food.
After driving an hour in a snow storm because of the great reviews I was extremely excited to try this place. The décor was cute chessy and cheap looking. The desserts were good, but I’ve had better.
My gripe is with the OWNER who catered to a particular table (mind you it was only about 10 people in the entire lounge.) I guess the older Caucasians patrons was more important then myself and my younger minority husband.
Oh well, I will gladly give by business to someone more deserving and attentive!

I’ve only been here a handful of times, but I like it. Overall it’s nothing too special, but drinks/​desserts have always been okay.

Nice place, never over crowded, Bendi desserts such as various gelatos and good selection of cakes, tiramisu along with Italian coffees, espresso, cappuccinos and good selection of beers and wines. Intimate setting, soft music with occasional dinner special over the summers. Open 5pm-​12
