After a poor meal at Grasings, we opted to go somewhere else for desserts. We heard good things about patisserie boissiere so we took a short walk across Ocean avenue to peruse their dessert display. Within the entry way was a large display of two dozen dessert options, a dream for Envelope and BroCo. We selected four desserts, a chocolate ganache tarte, a lemon cheesecake, a banana cream pie and a chocolate 'pot au creme.' My mom also ordered a loaf of zucchini bread, which was probably the best thing we had from the patisserie, extremely moist and light.
We took our four desserts back to the hotel placed it on the living room table and dug in. We were pretty much all in agreement that the lemon cheesecake was the on the bottom, a bit too tart with a underwhelming crust. My mom enjoyed the ganache the most, pretty standard per my account. The banana cream pie was the favorite my Envelope, Chu-Toro and dad. My surprising fav was the chocolate 'pot of creme,' a creamy, rich, chocolate pudding, with depths of chocolate flavor.

Following Grasings, desserts from Patisserie Boissiere was a welcomed change of pace. We had a great time debating which items to choose from the dessert display and then comparing our faves back at the hotel. It's a good place to grab desserts at a reasonable price (about $4 bucks each) and somewhere we'd probably return when craving sweets in downtown Carmel.
