I wish there was an encore to this Finale.

If you were to ask me my favorite food, I would say chocolate. While I'm sure many people love chocolate, to me, this delicious sweet is a food group of its own. I love all things chocolate and desserts more than many things in life. In Boston, there is a restaurant that has desserts that are raved about, called Finale. They have locations in Boston and Cambridge. I got a cupcake from the Cambridge location once, and it was very good, but I have been dying to try their plated desserts. Last week I stumbled upon a tweet that said Finale was having a two for one dessert deal through July. If there was a ever a time to go, it was now. My friend K and I decided to check it out and get our buy one get one free desserts to make it just a little more affordable.

I had high expectations, and they were exceeded by far. I went with the Molten Chocolate : a warm chocolate cake filled with a warm, gooey center and accompanied by a coffee gelato. To say it was delicious was an understatement. It was heavenly! The molten chocolate in the center of the cake was creamy and sweet. I would drink it every day for every meal if I could, it was that good. The coffee geleato was fresh and very well accompanied the dessert.
Here's a picture of the chocolatey goodness:




K got the Apple a la Mode. She's not as into heavy desserts like chocolate as I am, so this was the perfect dessert for her. An apple cranberry tart accompanied by a vanilla gelato suited her palette perfectly. She also raved about the lavender soaked hazelnut financie that accompanied the dish on the side. Here's a picture of her dish: 


Needless to say, we were very satisfied  The portions were perfect and the prices were affordable  I would HIGHLY recommend this desserterie to any dessert lovers out there, and if you're not a big fan of dessert, they just might help you change you mind.
