Sweet Revenge is an adorable cafe in the West Village that does everything right! I had the pleasure of talking with the owner tonight, Marlo, who was right there to answer questions and offer suggestions to all her customers. The atmosphere at Sweet Revenge is like an intimate European bistro. I love that you can listen to good music, have a glass of wine, and eat a cupcake all at one place. I had the PERFECT dessert tonight…a cupcake gelato sandwich!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I chose the Malaysian Coconut Cupcake with Tahitian Vanilla Gelato and a side of whipped cream. I have never had a cupcake gelato sandwich, and now that I have, I don’t think I can go back. Marlo cut the cupcake right in half and then put a perfect scoop of gelato right between the layers. I asked for the whipped cream because I love whipped cream and can always have a little on the side. The cupcake cake had a perfect coconut flavor and was very dense, yet moist. Marlo told me they use a delicious coconut extract for the flavoring. The thick, sugared coconut buttercream was FANTASTIC. (Sidenote…they do frosting martinis here, which is frosting in a small martini glass…OMG!) The unique design for their frosting on the cupcakes is fun and makes great “case appeal.” Sprinkled on top of the frosting was toasted coconut flakes. When I took the first bite of this masterpiece, I knew I found a new love. The coconut cake and vanilla gelato was creamy and sweet all at once. As the gelato melted it soaked into the coconut cake making it a spongy texture. When it was all over, the melted gelato at the bottom of the bowl tasted like sweetened cereal milk. I literally picked the bowl up and drank it down. I contemplated for ten minutes about ordering another one because it was that good. Sweet Revenge would be a great date place, but also somewhere you could sit solo at the bar. When you go make sure to meet Marlo, she’ll be behind the bar making everyone happy! xoxo Blondie
