My sister took me here after being intrigued by the funky pink decor, and the fact that Tinseltown might now have a bakery in it.

Ambiance: Pretty cute looking shop - the Pepto Bismol pink on the walls can get a little eye fatiguing after a while though. The chairs are too huge though - it's difficult to push them in and out. The music was also wayyy too loud - we were sitting across from one another and could barely hear each other.

Service: The service is a little odd - basically, you order at the counter, pay, take a table and wait for your cakes to be served up on white plates, then take them back to your table yourself. I don't really get the point of sticking the stuff in the display onto a plate when they already come ready to eat in their own little paper doileys... The guy servicing us was not the most pleasant - we were the only people there and he seemed annoyed at having to deal with us.

Value: It was more than $4 for most things. Each TINY thing. They have cakes and little portioned desserts, as well as ice cream and sorbet, coffee and teas. All of them in teeny portions, and vastly overpriced.

Food: I opted to play it safe and got the plain chocolate cake. Immediately, I thought the way the cake looked was exactly like Chinese pastry shop cakes. It was pretty bad - the cake was dry, and the chocolate coating tasting rancid, like the dairy in it had gone bad. Also, I think they labeled it wrong - instead of just being plain chocolate cake, there was some kind of fruity filling between the layers. I had to force myself to finish it, as I didn't want to blow nearly $5. My sister had the chocolate lava cake, which the guy stuck in a microwave oven in the back (we could even hear the beep!) to heat up. I had a bite, and it was pretty okay, though a bit dry.

I have no idea how this place can call itself a bakery - nothing is baked in-house, with everything in the display case having been ordered from somewhere, then simply kept in stasis. This includes the ice cream and sorbets, which are brand-name varieties. For the price, and the terrible quality, I would never come back. It seems Tinseltown needs to wait a little longer for a an ACTUAL bakery to make itself known there.

Hubby brought home some desserts trying to be a very nice guy. Brought home some cappuccino mousse thing and a caramel cheesecake I think. Mousse was old, it had the texture of that whip cream you find on top of Dairy Queen cakes. Cheesecake crust was flavorless and the cake part was too dense for my liking and it had very little cream cheese flavor. I don't know what he paid for it but it wasn't worth it. I make better at home.
