Lovely gelato and pastry shop. The staff are quite helpful and friendly. It's a fantastic scene for a date.

I was walking in North Park before a concert and saw Fígaro Desert cafe. Decided to go in and check it out. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I ordered a Tiramisu and Cortada. The Tiramisu was ok , Cortada was really good. I will definitely go back and try other deserts. They also have Gelatos.

Was looking for a place to grab a sweet treet after a good lunch. Drove around and seen a line at this spot, so we decided to give it a go. Best decision made. We got a Coconut tart, Pink lady and Tiramisu. All 3 were really good. Also ordered chi Gelato (no photo) it was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Will definitely return soon.

WHEN IN NEED OF SWEETS... this place will do. Cute little dessert neighborhood shop offering an array of sweets. It's the far distant second cousin of "extraordinary desserts" that nobody really knows but are curious about."PURPLE THING" - its stunning to look it at. It's like a mashup of PRINCE + HERSHEY KISS. It's new so It doesn't yet have a name. And one of the first questions that comes to mind is "what's inside"... it's a berry cheesecake. The shiny purple outer layer was an interesting texture - likely some purple food coloring, water, sugar, and gelatin mixture that's breakable, soft, yet holds shape. It's mainly for decoration to couture the cheesecake inside. The cheesecake wasn't rich in flavor or anything special, just basic cheesecake flavor and texture with a ball of squished berries adding the fruity and tart flavor. It was good but it would have been even better if you order this with a hot beverage. I didn't do that but will do next time. RECOMMENDGERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE - Three layers chocolate cake filled with pecans and coconut, topped with pecans and coconut filling. It looks like a typical slice of German chocolate cake. Sadly, no picture because it was in a to-go box and swiftly demolished. This hit the spot. You can't go wrong with a German chocolate cake, you just can't. The cake itself was a little dryer to my liking BUT with the layers of filling added good mixture to the cake. You get a bit of chocolate, pecan, and coconut filling your mouth with an even balance of flavors. Again, this would also pair well with a hot beverage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.I like this place! Can't wait to try other desserts!Until the next review...

Pretty bummed that y’all tried to pawn off this tiny cupcake thing of a dessert as a New York style cheesecake. It is definitely in no way NY style and any New Yorker would say the same. The taste of it wasn’t spectacular either. Providing a photo or changing the name might help others not make the same mistake!

Great variety of fresh desserts to try! I wish there was more seating inside, but it's a small place so that can't be helped (and there *is* additional seating outside.)

Nice little spot. Pretty good selection of desserts, coffee and tea. Friendly staff, ordered a London Fog, hot chocolate for the wife and a NY Cheesecake…..can’t really think of anything negative to say. Would definitely come back if I’m ever in the area.

Delicious. Best dessert place ever. Ice creams have a few different flavors and lots of varieties of patries. The plus point - it closes at 11 pm.

Loved it. Really nice place. And the desserts are amazing. Never been to a place like this before.

Very light and less sugar than baklava or other middle eastern desserts!!A nice gift for Christmas from a lovely neighbors…
