Cafe Coffee Day - A perfect place to indulge your sweet tooth

If you think CCD is the place to go to only when you want to have a cup of steaming hot or cold coffee, think again. It's definitely the place to go to if you want to have something sweet but are tired of visiting the same old haunts like Amul, Ice Cream Works, Gelato, Naturals and Baskin-Robbins!

I landed at the neighborhood outlet of CCD one lazy weekend afternoon and turned straight to the dessert section of their menu. Mango Shot (Rs 25) is probably the cheapest and smallest dessert that one can go for here - a good choice for the cost-conscious. Maybe not so much for the calorie-conscious, given that it seems basically made up of Alphonso mango syrup plus a lot of cream. But hey, it is okay not to think of calories once in a while :-) And it's true what they say about good things coming in small packages.

The Black Forest Cup (Rs 80) is the thing to order when you don't mind a few extra calories if they come bundled in a richly flavored dessert. I guess this one doesn't need any introduction. You just have to manage to wait till it is served and then dig in. :-)

If you are one of those who throw any thought of calories to the winds when it comes to ordering the desserts, Sizzle Dazzle Brownie (Rs 137) is the perfect choice. A thick slice of brownie with a sizzling chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top capped with more chocolate sauce - it simply cannot get any better than this.

Even when I stepped out, it felt like heaven :-)
