I am soon going to write a new review of The Monument Cafe in Georgetown, Texas, because the lunch Jane and I had there today surpassed even the high expectations we had walking in. But until I get to that, let me just rave about dessert a bit and show a few pictures. Above is just about the best coconut cream pie ever, dense and coconutty, heaped with thick, just-whipped cream and crunchy toasted coconut. Below I will post pictures of chocolate layer cake with buttercream frosting -- classic, old-fashioned cake that is indescribably satisfying -- and the cafe's signature pie, which is devilishly fudgy chocolate atop a layer of crisp toasted pecans rather than an ordinary crust. I should also note that the staff advised that the cafe would be moving this summer -- just up the road to the old Ford dealership. Apparently, enough people know how good it is that they need to expand to accommodate us all.
