Happy Tuesday! Today, after work, I found myself at the Vancouver Public Library, arms laden with travel books. But as I exited the library, a different kind of craving surfaced: one for a sweet treat to share with my husband.
Now, we've agreed to forgo the traditional gift exchange for Valentine's. However, a little indulgence never hurt anyone, right? With a mischievous grin, I whipped out my phone and consulted the wisdom of Google Maps. My query? "Cake! Open now! Close by!"
Enter Cafe Monet, a Korean bakery cafe conveniently nestled between the library and my bus stop. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a delightful display of baked goods, each vying for my attention. Heart-shaped cookies, perfect for my Valentine, were a no-brainer. But for myself? The decision was agonizing!
Finally, my eyes landed on the Mocha Mini Sponge Cake. Balancing my purchase atop my already-heavy backpack, I embarked on my journey home.
Later that evening, after dinner, we unveiled our treats. My husband's face lit up at the sight of the heart-shaped cookies, while I dug into the delectable Mocha Mini Sponge Cake. As promised, it was luxuriously moist, the coffee flavor subtle yet satisfying. Each bite was pure bliss, a perfect ending to a long day at work.
