Try Chef Nick’s Guinness chocolate ice cream - it’s outstanding; the peach pie is ever so creamy and delicious; the creme brulet is world class and the English Tea Cake is out of this world tasty! It’s hard to make a decision when it comes to the outstanding dessert choices at the Cafe - see for yourself!

Chef Nick’s homemade sorbets are delicious. I had a trio of them one day and I couldn’t decide which was my favorite.
There is a chocolate fudge cake that is heaven on a plate and the old stand-by cherry crumb pie is one of my all-time favorites and I don’t even like cherry pie!
