Ed C: Chocolate mousse, pork sausage and a great server.
Julie Albright: Tart tartin was not fabulous but chocolate mousse is delicious!
The Taste Sheriff: Probably one of my favorite brunch places in the world. Croque madame or forestiere, croissant with raspberry jam and butter, fresh squeezed OJs, and most importantly, chocolate mousse. Heaven.

Masha Ioveva: For dessert, share the chocolate mousse and the hazelnut gelato - it doesn't get any better than this!

Bakery · Little Italy · 95 tips and reviews
Crystal Choy: Good place to sit and chat (sans the hours of live singing). Try the toasted almond cake, tiramisu cake (not to be confused with the traditional tiramisu), napoleon, and chocolate mousse cheesecake.
Vanessa Carpenter: Best Italian pastries. Chocolate covered chocolate mousse cannolis are the best! A must go to in Little Italy!
Carmela Isabella: The best chocolate mousse cannoli
Kate Interrante: If you order the chocolate mousse cheesecake, share it. It is huge and so creamy. The slice is generous enough it could feed three. Worth the price.
Jean Peixoto: Awesome chocolate mousse cheesecake!
Christian Dickmann: The chocolate mousse cheesecake is very rich and (too?) huge. Junior's excels at the lighter plain cheesecakes, maybe with a fruit topping (e.g. Cherry).
