Artelice Patisserie - West L.A.

Artelice Patisserie serves beautiful cakes and macarons. I tried two of their cakes and macarons, and they were delicious as it looks. Very elegant, right sweetness, and each cake has so much flavors. Absolutely lovely.










Tiramisu - lady finger sponge soaked in coffee and rum syrup and mascarpone mousse $5.75

Exotic - pistachio sponge, mango, banana, passion fruit insert with Caribbean cocktail (pineapple, coconut, lemon and passion fruit) mousse $5.75

The chef gave us 3 macarons to try.

Japanese sweets at Azabu Sabo and Korean sweets at blutusk

It was back in November, I went to Azabu Sabo to try their Japanese desserts. Everything looks very Japannse, and I was so excited to try out. When we were there, it was little weird. I don't know because they don't speak English or not, but there were 2 workers but they both didn't speak. They won't come to refill, they won't check us out, they won't say yes, no, or thank you. Just weird. The food was okay, except soft ice cream. It was not good at all.










Wafu homemade hamburg $11.50

Salmon flakes on rice
Vanilla ice cream with warabi mochi and black sesame and shiratama $6.95
The portion was much smaller than I thought. You probably can't really tell from my pic, but it's small. We were all little disappointed with their soft ice cream. It wasn't what we expected. We thought it's more creamy and has more regular soft serve ice cream texture, but iIce cream was icier than we thought like sorbet texture. And taste wasn't that good.
Zenzai. Soft ice cream with shiratama dumplings and red bean $5.25
Matcha soft ice cream on baked sweet potato with black sesame $5.25


After Azabu Sabo, we stopped by at Blutusk in Sawtelle. We got Tusk Ice Cream + Delimanjoo combo $6. I always wanted try this and I did. But I didn't like it. Well, this place is closed now anyway.
