Flourless Chocolate Cake
Located at 6365 South Rainbow Boulevard, inside the former Peridot Sweets’ adjacent Starbucks, Mg Patisserie & Café features the talents of Pastry Chef and Owner Michael Gillet, a former Michelin Star recipient with nearly three decades of experience.
Established in June of 2019, a mostly turnkey transition from Tiffany Jones’ well-liked bakeshop, it was in short-order that a line of Cupcakes, Cookies and Muffins transitioned to Viennoiserie and Dessert, prices from $4-8 par for the course though the former were previously found Freezer-cold when picked up early morning.
This time received as a gift, two Cookies flat and fairly basic in comparison to others in town, Desserts were highlighted by a Blueberry Lemon Tart inside a delicate Shell plus airy Cheesecake, while Tiramisu lacked any trace of Mascarpone making it nearly as rich as Gillet’s poignant Chocolate Cake.
TWO AND A HALF STARS: A graduate of CFA Marzy Pastry School in France, Michael Gillet spent nearly two decades preparing elegant Desserts at some of America’s top hotels before striking out on his own in 2019, the results of time with Caesars, Red Rock, The Peninsula and Ritz-Carlton evident in items such as airy Cheesecake and Tarts but little else across two tastes.
RECOMMENDED: Cheesecake, Blueberry Lemon Tart.
AVOID: Tiramisu, Chocolate Chip Cookie
TIP: Follow @mgpatisserieandcafe for specials.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.
