(Mods sorry if this is considered advertising, close if you must)

[image loading]

Hey TL. So my sister and her boyfriend opened a dessert cafe in Pasadena, California about two months ago called D'odici. They both graduated from Art Center of Design so the whole place was designed by them, very artsy.

[image loading]

Our signature cakes are souffle cheesecakes, which are lighter, fluffier, and not as sweet as your traditional cheesecakes. We have different flavors such as blueberry, chocolate raisin, coconut mango, raspberry, and many more. Everything is made in-house!

[image loading]

[image loading]

We have espresso based coffee drinks, such as caramel latte, mocha, americano, etc. We also have our special drinks such as Orange Sunrise, which is a latte with a hint of orange. Our Fizz is sparkling water based with our in-house made syrups, such as Lavender Lemonade, which is kind of like Italian soda. We squeeze all the lemons ourselves!

[image loading]

If you live in the LA area please come try it out. We usually have free samples
I work from 8am-12pm Mon-Friday except Wednesdays (we are closed on Wednesdays)

Here's our website in progress:
http://www.dodici-desserts.com/

Yelp:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/d-odici-desserts-pasadena

I would really appreciate it if you can like the facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/dodici/116654121742164

Thanks for reading. Please come stop by if you can!

edit: D'odici on ABC news. last part of the video, it's short segment but check it out!

Maybe one day I will be in LA and then I will come visit if I will still remember it by then;)

I guess their design philosophy differs from their food philosophy; simplicity is best. That is many fonts, yes?

I'll check it out next time I'm in the area, so at least you've picked up one potential customer!

Congrats to both of them for graduating from Art Center. I have a few friends who attended there and they would pretty much disappear for weeks at a time due to the workload so I'm guessing it was pretty rigorous. Hope the place does well so they can pay off their ridiculously high tuition bills!

lol I noticed that too

It looks pretty good, but it seems like from reading some of the reviews that they only have the fluffy cheesecake stuff? No other deserts?

I love cafes like the one your sister has opened. Unfortunately for me there are very very few of them in my area. Good luck on your business!

Do you use authentic raisins because I heard people don't use the legit stuff.

This all looks like a really nice place to sit down and read some magazine articles with a tiny plate of dessert on the side. Best of luck from New York and looking forward to drop by if I ever happened to be in the LA area ^^

Wow, nice. I'm salivating from the other side of the globe. But if I'm around I'd definitely go for a cake.

But my initial reaction was: "But... where are the computers?" (Coz, u know, cafe, internet cafe, computers, Starcraft... XD)

Wait, wait, wait, wait..... there are DESSERT cafes???? WHY HASN'T ANYONE TOLD ME!?

I need to get out more. And get more cakes.

Wish I lived close, I would go!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Since we are closed on Wednesdays, perhaps we can hold a TL lan sometime...
the cafe isn't very spacious though, so we can't fit too many people
