Michele Coulon Dessertier

Michele Coulon Dessertier Review

A "dessertier" confects desserts, a job that Michele Coulon does exceedingly well with organic produce and imported chocolate in the back of a small, charming shop in the heart of La Jolla. Moist chocolate-chip scones, the colorful raspberry pinwheel bombe (a molded dessert of cake, jam, almond macaroons, and ice-cream filling), the berry-frangipane tart, and a decadent chocolate mousse cake are a few treats. This is not just a place for dessert, however. Lunch is served weekdays (the store is open 9 AM-4 PM), and the simple menu includes quiche Lorraine (baked fresh daily) and salads.
