Not quite extraordinary, but close. I reserve my right to use five stars for only the fanciest of fancy... But if you try their warm chocolate chip cookies, you might get upset that I didn't give 6 stars... They are good!

Excellent Dessert Menu. I often skip desserts at other restaurants so that I can go to Extraordinary Desserts. The desserts at this place are too pretty to eat but once you get over that stage and start digging into them, you'll surely taste heaven. However, the lines can get quiet long especially during the weekend nights and the desserts don't come very cheap; share it with others since the portions are big.

Overpriced sugar fix. The atmosphere and layout are most annoying Why is the tea on display where the dessert should be? Yea, yea so you can sniff the samples of tea they have out but isn't this place named Extraordinary Desserts? We should be able to see what the dessert selections are for that day while you are waiting in the single file, wannabee line, not tea I'm there for the dessert, show me the dessert. In order to see the dessert you have to leave your space in line and walk past the register and look at the display case. Then you have to try and remember what you want once you have squeezed yourself back in line. The problem is that everyone in line is doing this and it becomes very confusing who is in line and who isn?t or where they were in line. Okay desserts, bad set up. Yes they have some desserts before the register but not all of them. When you make it up to the register you are greeted with a blank stare and an ?I have better things to do? attitude. The problem is there is only one cash register. Does Starbucks have one register? Does Teavana have one register? Well if that's what you are trying to be, but with fancier desserts, than take some lessons in customer service from them. People don't want to pay $10.00 for a glorified Hostess Cupcake with a real flower on top and $4.00 for a double shot of espresso and feel like they are in a "soup kitchen" line. After experiencing what Extraordinary Desserts has to offer four different times in the past two years this is how I would set up someone?s expectations before I brought them here. ? Okay I know this place that has really big desserts, but the only thing though is they over charge and they treat you like crap.?Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Never again.
