Sticky Toffee Pudding from Cask and Schooner Public House
This cozy, English pub style restaurant on the corner of First and Spring Street, just blocks from the ferry landing offers one of the gooiest, yummiest, melt in your mouth desserts in town! In sticking with their British pub menu, this traditional dessert is made with moist sponge cake sweetened with dates and drizzled with warm toffee syrup. A big scoop of vanilla ice cream tops off the whole thing and adds a bit of creaminess.

Felicitations Eclairs
Felicitation’s chocolate Eclairs are one of the island’s most delicious hidden gems!
Since opening her doors in 1998, Felicity Milne has been making her decadent chocolate eclairs on a regular basis. Making everything from scratch, including the custard filling using real vanilla bean infused cream, these little puff pastries are then dipped in semi-sweet chocolate ganache.
These days Felicity works out of a small, tucked away shop in the Surina Business Park, about ten blocks from the ferry landing and offers her Eclairs and other goodies by order or in weekly batches. Check out the goodness at www.cakesbyfelicitations.com.
