Truffles & Tortes

01/19/2008 Posted by brown_underground

I've been going to the Chinese restaurant in the same strip mall since I moved to the Twin-Cities 3 years ago, and always wondered about "Truffles and Tortes" each time I passed it. Finally, after a few months I decided on a whim to walk in and see what it was about. I tried, as recommended, the "Concerto", and I kid you not, dessert has never been the same for me. I have been there at least once every few weeks since, and have tried almost everything in the case. The best has to be hands down the raspberry almond torte. Nothing compares to T&T! If it's not from there, it's not dessert!

I found this place from the reviews on here and went there today after a terrible lunch experience at a different restaurant. We wanted to end our lunch on a positive note. It's a nice quaint little shop in the stripmall across from the Willow Creek theatre off Shelard Pkwy by the General Mills campus. We ordered 5 truffles and 4 tortes and so far everything is fantastic (of course we didn't eat it all). I had the almond/rasberry torte and it was by far the best torte I've ever tasted. My fiance ate 2 of the truffles and said they were really good - I won't take his word for it though, as I'll be sneaking a piece for myself later. If you get a chance, stop in - you won't regret it.

Pros: parking, service, desserts

Cons: none

We went here looking into cake for our wedding. They gave us a sample of their lemon cake and we were hooked. Everyone at the wedding raved about it! I picked up a Chocolate Nirvana as well, which was also delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone!

When I think of dessert, my first thought always goes to Truffles and Tortes. That's when my mouth starts watering and I develop a one track mind...Must go to Truffle and Tortes! My personal favorite is the "Chocolate Mascarpone Torte" so if chocolate is your soul food, prepare to pray, your salvation is near.

Pros: Decadence, perfect for after theatre dessert, or filling that sweet tooth

Cons: None

After going to see a movie at the Willow Creek theatre, my boyfriend and I discovered this little dessert shop next door. The desserts were AMAZING!!! The service was also superb...the clerk recommended the "concerto" which my boyfriend and I shared and DEVOURED. I will definitely be back again, and I would highly recommend this place as a unique, out of the ordinary place to take a date...the chocolate will surely send you both home happy!

Pros: beautiful display, awesome staff, TASTY desserts

Cons: none

We were at a wedding where the cake was made by these guys. It was the best cake I ever had! We had to go to Plymouth to check them out -- we'll be back often! It's kind of a hidden place so now we know why we had never heard of them before. The place is very nice. The service was great and the desserts all very pretty. We recommend the Nirvana and the lemon tart. (And the white cake with fresh strawberries.) Keep up the good work Truffles & Tortes!

Pros: beautiful, high quality desserts, great service

Cons: none

Stopped by for lunch - fresh soup, salads, and quiche made by Annie's Cooking Tonight, who we used for catering a party. They work in the same space as Truffles and Tortes - THE best dessert place! What a great little place. I felt like I was in France. So cute. The food is fresh, healthy and light, so there's room for dessert! I had the "Concerto" which is chocolatey, smooth and creamy - highly recommend that one - they said it was an award winning dessert! I can see why. Totally enjoyable.

Pros: fresh, homemade, gorgeous

The quaint little shop is filled with delicious desserts...it can be hard to choose! But each dessert I've tried has been amazing, and I always want to return for more! The prices are very reasonable and I've never tasted desserts this good anywhere else. It's a hidden gem!

Pros: High quality, fair prices, beautiful atmosphere
