Heaven Sent revisited...

After lunch at Vagabond, we traveled north up 30th Street to the North Park area. Our destination? Heaven Sent Desserts .

You can see their version of the pink "Snowball". The long tray has white chocolate dipped shortbread cookies covered with crushed pistachios. The covered cake dome next to it has macaroons, I think.

Here is another dessert case with their delectable pastries. The middle of the top row has my choice, the Heavenly Halo (which I blogged about last month). There are also some mini tarts , cookies, and brownies as well. Everything looked really good, but I liked the Halo so much, I ordered it again.


It was nice seeing this place in the daylight. There were only a few customers in there. Last time, at night, it was more crowded. Because there was more light, I noticed that the walls were a terra cotta orange and flower arrangements (both real and artificial) were everywhere.

When they take your order, they give you an old book with a number as a bookmark. Customers are free to write their comments in the books. I noticed some wrote their favorite quotes by various authors. I chose a random spot in the middle and wrote (in cholo graffiti fashion), "DEL SOL -R- Y QUE NO MAS!" We also liked the book title.

It was our friend's birthday (the one who wasn't there for the Calypso cafe dinner) and she chose the Dutch apple pie with ice cream. If this looks familiar, it should. This is the dessert that Lotus had.

Our other lunch companion had the creme brulee. It was so cute in it's tiny shallow ramekin. The crunchy sugar topping and the raspberries were delicious. Everything was so light and fresh.

We sat in a banquette in the front corner where we had a lovely view of the hustle and bustle of University Avenue, as well as the drunk homeless guy screaming profanities at hapless passers by. He was right behind me, just separated by a few millimeters of glass window.

I thought this lamp was beautiful. It's right above the foyer by the dessert case. In all, it was a gorgeous day. The weather was perfect - high 70's. It was warm, but not burning hot nor humid either. We had fun driving around South Park to get to North Park, admiring all of the beautiful homes along 30th St.
