desserts @ Chocorrant
Tina & Andrew took me to this place after having our lunch at Saigon Taste =]
Located on 124th Street, Chocorrant is a fancy (by fancy, I mean $$$$) cafe that’s known for their little treats.
The interior is small but they use the space well. The cafe itself is very long & narrow (slim entrance/store front but extends deep), & they chose an L-shaped style to arrange to tables & chairs/benches. The whole place was very bright & the large window gives the space plenty of natural lighting. The 3 of us sat in *that* corner just in front of their chalkboard.
They’re constantly baking, apparently. During our short-ish time spent there, they brought out 2 more batches of croissants. They have sweet & savoury ones. The one that Tina wanted is not in photo bcos at the time, they were actually still baking it. Will show you what we got later!
Little cakes & tarts. They’re all so pretty. Reminded me Carlo’s Bakery in Vegas. They have now opened several ‘locations’ in Edmonton BTW. The vending machine concept is pretty cool!
Andrew chose the mandarin yuzu tart for me bcos they were treating me again. Thank you!!!
So my tart & the 2 croissants. Andrew ordered the matcha one & Tina ordered the salted egg croissant. Both croissants had a runny/syrup-y filling; but the salted egg one was just oozinggggg haha Andrew got the matcha one heated up too but maybe bcos the salted egg one was like straight outta the oven, so it was more rich & flowing? I don’t know! They both liked it but it was like . .. “good, might recommend, likely will try other things next time”. You know what I mean?
As for my mandarin yuzu tart. .. 8.2/10~ I think the topping portion with the yellow & green chocolate petal/leaf was very tasty. It was both light & a little tart/sour. It was refreshing, to say the least. But the actual tart pastry portion on the bottom. .. Kinda dry & hard. If this was in cake form, ie without the tart but the topping & cream in between layers of cake, I would undoubtedly order again (maybe even to-go & bring some home!). But the tart was. .. =/
