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.

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!

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!

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)

seems to look pretty nice.
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!

Who is this photographer? GReat shots, my God!
Should host a barcraft there :B
|
Oh wow it's adorable T_T I love the color scheme and simple design. If I'm ever in LA I most certainly will visit!

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?
|
Sounds good, too bad I can't try it T_T
|
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!

Oh my, how big are the milk glasses?

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

I'm pretty sure we do...wasn't aware there are artificial raisins?

You can never be too careful my friend.

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 ^^

Looks lovely. I'll remember the name for the next time I'm in Pasadena

thanks~
glad you like it ㅋㅋㅋ

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!

wow i want to come visit, looks sooo delish
and nice prices too, everything is like 2 dollars cheaper than my university's coffee shops..
|
Damn the cheesecakes look good. I haven't had a good cheesecake in a while. I'll go next time I'm in Pasadena and I'll make sure to write a review on yelp :O
|
best of luck to you guys, hope I can visit in the future!
|
Place looks really great. Good luck to all of you!

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

The real question is, do we get something special like a discount if we mention codename TL?
