Delic

Delic cafe bar in the Lavapies & Latina neighborhood area gets a lot of buzz, and there's good reason for that: the food, coffee, and above all, the sweets are great.  We went by on an early Saturday afternoon after doing some Moroccan carpet shopping at nearby Berberia, also high on our list.

At 1:00 pm, Delic was not crowded.  The atmosphere was friendly. The staff was sitting in the back room cleaning/chopping mint, so it smelled great.  We chose a delicious salad with walnuts and blue cheese.  It was perfect for sharing.  We also had tostadas, but admit that we can't remember which kind because we were so focused on the carrot cake.

Delic takes a slightly different approach to the carrot cake.  Theirs is moist and smooth with a nice, mild cream frosting.  We're not typically fans of chocolate toppings on carrot cake, but this dark chocolate drizzle worked well.  The coffee was great too.   And we loved the round packages of Swedish hard bread above the register even if the cashier told us they bought it a Ikea!.  We will go back!
