Couples: Dessert
Sweets tarts for sweet hearts
Bella Vista’s aptly named Dessert serves up divine fruit tarts, cookies and cakes, along with French press pots of coffee. In Old City, Petit 4 Pastry Studio bakes cobblers, hazelnut and chocolate mousse layer cakes and divinely simple butter cookies that routinely lure people in from the street.
The chocolate scents emanating from the sweet Pink Rose Pastry Shop are impossible to resist. And, any couple who passes through Rittenhouse Square without stopping in for professionally enrobed chocolates or truffles at Miel Patisserie ought to turn around and go back — immediately.
Then again, they may be heading for the city-sleek gelateria Capogiro Gelato Artisans, where couples have been known to linger over seasonal gelati, including deep plum, dulce de leche and Madagascar bourbon vanilla. See listings below.
