Re: Socca Oven and Cafe Gratitude

[Guest guest]

Just thought I'd mention that today DH and I went to Socca Oven and

Cafe Gratitude for dessert! At Socca Oven we had the daily special

(wild mushroom and broccolini) and Scallop Soccas. I especially

enjoyed the chickpea crepe- think I'd order other toppings next time.

The scallops were good but they were overpowered by the fennel/ onion

flavor, and overall it was bland. (IMO) It was so refreshing to be

able to order ANY DESSERT at Cafe Gratitude- I got tiramisu (1st time

i've ordered THAT at a restaurant!) and DH got the key lime pie. The

cashew cream and the chocolate/ espresso mousse in the tiramisu was

divine! Although almond " cake " is less my thing, i think. Next time

I'll try the cheesecake or a mousse. So rich and delicious! DH's pie

was also good, although I'm not a key lime girl. We also tried the

very interesting cold brewed coffee. We drove all the way from

Mountain View, and it was a very enjoyable and gf outing. Thank you

for the recommendations, all!

There are recipes online for nut cream/nut cheese desserts, but the

whole point is to be able to go out!!
