Something Sweet Dessert Lounge

The Good: Nice and Casual Atmosphere; Great selection of Desserts; Good Service
The Bad: Very small parking area. 

Andy and I wanted to visit Something Sweet for a while.  The dessert lounge has won best dessert place from Tucson Weekly.  Many co-workers have really enjoyed it.

The lounge was pretty busy when we got there.  We were quickly seated by the waitress.  The menus had a large selection of beverages along with a extremely big selection of desserts including pies, cakes, and cheesecakes.  It took us a long time to decide what we wanted and we settled on the raspberry swirl cheesecake and tiramisu.  Along with the desserts, we ordered two teas.

The teas were first served to us.  I really liked the fact that we got our hot water in little teapots.  :)  The desserts came pretty quickly afterwards.

The tiramisu was delicious!  The biscuit layers were extremely nice and went very well with marscapone cheese layers.  Nothing was too over-powering and everything went very well together.  The presentation was great too!

The raspberry swirl cheesecake was delicious.  Having made cheesecake a lot, I've gotten to be very picky with cheesecakes.  The cheesecake had a nice texture to it and the crust was perfect.  The raspberry swirl did not overpower the rest of the cheesecake either.

Overall had a great experience at Something Sweet Dessert Lounge.  The service was great and the desserts were superb!

Cupcakes in Tucson, AZ


LA Latte from Cupcake
Originally uploaded by carmenkchan19

While on a small shopping trip for others, Andy and I decided to stop at Cupcakes. They specialize in cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, or just desserts.

The restaurant was cute and refreshing. The person behind the register was extremely friendly and went through the cupcakes for us. Andy and I decided to just share one because we had just had a big lunch.

After much debating, we decided to on the LA Latte, which was a coffee flavored cake with vanilla frosting and cinnamon sprinkles. Overall, I would say the cupcake was OK. The first bite was good, the 2nd bite was OK, the third just started getting a bit too sweet. The ratio of the frosting to the cupcake was just too much. I don't think I would go there again for dessert.
