554891 Fri Sep 05 07:32:07 -0700 2008 13 2 Los Angeles Area 0 4010663 Looking for a good place to stop in for dessert tonight after drinks and some food at Sgt. Recruiter. If there's nothing special in the area, I will have to head downtown to Water Grill for the red velvet pudding. Hopefully there is something worthwhile a bit closer. Fri Sep 05 07:32:07 -0700 2008 13554 cls 1 4011107 Not sure what time they close, but I find the desserts at LA Mill to be quite delicious. Fri Sep 05 10:04:40 -0700 2008 4010663 67147 mandelabra 2 4011531 Good idea, now if they have Cognac... Fri Sep 05 12:32:25 -0700 2008 4011107 13554 cls 1 4011189 I second Lamill, I think they close around 9 or 10 but it's probably worth calling to make sure. Alcove is open until around the same time and has all those cakes and stuff although I don't know if they're really that good. L.A. could use a place like San Diego's Extraordinary Desserts, with a nice patio, tea and coffee, open late, etc. Fri Sep 05 10:31:47 -0700 2008 4010663 12460 Chowpatty 2 4011201 yes, the cakes at Alcove are good. That's because they don't make them! They get them from a few different sources, one of which is supposedly Susina. Fri Sep 05 10:35:38 -0700 2008 4011189 67147 mandelabra 3 4012188 I'v never liked Alcove's deserts. I used to live very close and really wanted to like them, so gave them many tries, but found them all to be way too sugary sweet for my tastes, the cakes chalky and in general poorly made.

Call them about their hours, and if they sell to any of the local places. 323.975.9400 Fri Sep 05 11:17:55 -0700 2008 4010663 10359 carter 2 4011590 They sell their stuff to Intelligentsia -- or used to. Fri Sep 05 12:49:29 -0700 2008 4011308 12909 Hershey Bomar 3 4011676 They do, but Intelligentsia doesn't have much in the way of dessert. Actually that reminds me though, if you're good with gelato, Pazzo is probably your best bet, open late and always good. Fri Sep 05 13:24:54 -0700 2008 4011590 12460 Chowpatty 4 4012061 Love Pazzo (more than Scoops IMO.) For me Pazzo is take out though and sit down would be my choice tonight. Fri Sep 05 16:16:16 -0700 2008 4011676 13554 cls 5 4012073 LOCAL just opened on Sunset across from Los Globos near Parkman -- looks like a cafe hipster comfort food type place. Outside patio and tables on the sidewalk. Fri Sep 05 16:21:10 -0700 2008 4012061 12909 Hershey Bomar 6 4012078 Local is only open for breakfast and lunch right now, so not much dessert as yet. Dinner will come later. But cafe hipster comfort food sounds about right for the description! Fri Sep 05 16:22:31 -0700 2008 4012073 12460 Chowpatty 1 4012497 I think Lark Bakery on Sunset is open late on Friday and Sat - maybe until 10 or 11. They have desserts and cookies and that sort of thing. Fri Sep 05 20:33:45 -0700 2008 4010663 22915 meganinlosfeliz 2 4012756 I love their cupcakes, especially the ones with the tangy cream cheese-ish frosting. I dont know if it is cream cheese or sour cream or ??? but some of their frostings have a fantastic tangy taste. If you like cream puffs, theirs are the absolute best I've had. Also, everyone I've met working there is very friendly. I really love their stuff. Sat Sep 06 02:51:27 -0700 2008 4012497 60617 rednyellow
