This is supposed to be “the” place to be on Santa Monica’s Main Street where star sightings are common. I didn’t see any stars but was immediately drawn to its dessert counter. We decided on the cheese cake and the chai latte. The combi looked amazing but on the first bite, it reminded me of how amazingly too sweet desserts are in the US.

Owing to the popularity of the place - it is nicely located at the corner of a sunny street, but beyond that, I cant quite tell what makes it so special - they impose a 45 minute seating limit during busy hours.
