Tried takeout from Ms. Sweets Decadent Desserts tonight, and while there were some highlights, it wasn't a completely satisfying experience. The decaf vanilla latte hit the mark, and the regular drip coffee was decent, although a bit more creamer would have been appreciated.
Now, onto the desserts – a mixed bag. The flourless chocolate cake was just okay, slightly elevated when paired with the provided berries. However, the smaller-than-expected portions, especially considering the price point (each over ten dollars), left a bit to be desired. Unfortunately, the bread pudding fell short of expectations, leaning towards the dry side when the anticipation was for a rich, gooey texture.
Despite the hiccups, Ms. Sweets still offers a variety of tempting desserts. Perhaps there's room for improvement, particularly in portion sizes and ensuring the bread pudding lives up to its decadent reputation.

Flourless Chocolate Cake
Had a late night dessert craving and this place looked promising. I'm so grateful for the other reviewer who mentioned that it's located inside the Medici pizza parlor, otherwise we never would have found it!
We did the 2-dessert package and ordered the lemon chiffon cake and the tuxedo mousse cake. The presentation, even inside the takeout boxes, is pleasant, but it is obvious that these are slices from frozen desserts and not fresh made. I had hoped for a local bakery treat, but oh well.
The mousse had a lovely chocolate flavor with a nice caramel note, but the dark chocolate doesn't really come through, and the cake layers were a bit stale (likely as a result of having been frozen). The lemon cake was a much nicer texture. Exactly what I would expect from a lemon chiffon cake. The fresh berries on both were delightful and the perfect addition.

Wish I could give zero stars…ordered from here on Uber Eats. Nothing came as described and everything was frozen…my “three layer gourmet carrot cake” was as pictured. With random nuts thrown in the box..? For $12, this is disgusting and disappointing. Laughable, really. For $12 I should’ve just made it at home but it was late and I’m not feeling well and we wanted dessert to raise the spirits. This is NOT it.
My husband ordered me red velvet cupcakes from here. I was not a fan at all. Their red velvet cake was much better but definitely not worth the price. I would recommend walking across the street to Rosine's if you want delicious cake or Angelina's bakery in Monterey for cupcakes/cakes.
