Maybe today wasn't the best day to go the beach. 2 hours after we got there, it started pouring hahah.... perfect day to cafe sit ^^ We decided on Audrey's Concerto (NYC) which is a small but adorable cafe in the Bay Ridge Area. The wooden tables, and the detailed hand drawn chalk menus give it a home-y vintage feel. It's a great place to just relax with a friend but the pastries were a different story. We ordered the green tea red bean mousse, as well as the green tea strawberry mousse. They were wayyyyyyy too heavy and sweet... The matcha flavor was overpowering. One bite and I literally went WOAH O_O. The chocolate chestnut cake was a classic sponge cake layered with chestnut paste and crushed chocolate. The texture worked well as you bit through the soft spongy cake and came to the smooth chestnut cream that was sprinkled with crunchy chocolate pieces. I love how the chestnut flavor really carried through but I wish they had also topped the cake with chestnut instead of cream.
The pastries weren't the best but it was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon, surrounded by good friends and listening to the patter of the rain. We flipped through HK fashion magazines and laughed at the questionable fashion. This page. Favorite outfit? Next page. Repeat. Time sure flies when you're having fun. ^^
