Francesca's is a dessert dream come true. On any given day, find such delights as chocolate-laden eclairs, old-fashioned pound cake, fudge brownies or Mocha Pecan Pie. The Caffe also serves 18 daily flavors of homemade gelato and sorbetto, a selection of hot and cold coffees, a daily soup, several sandwiches, and a few vegan offerings. Breeze in on a warm summer day and have a double-dip strawberry cone or ice-cold mocha or come in from the cold and enjoy a slab of rich chocolate cake and a cappuccino.
The store itself is equipped with two dining rooms, free wireless, a front patio and limited outdoor seating.
Francesca's also offers retail pastries, cakes, or custom pre-packed quarts and pints of their gelatos and sorbettos (if ordered at least 48 hours in advance). See their website [1] for more information.
