Inside: Aix

Room for dessert

If you have the forethought to save room for dessert, Aix has made sure that there is something on the menu to satisfy the frog in you. From a caramelized pear tartine ($7), to crème brulee ($7) to the seasonally inspired pumpkin pie mousse ($6), you can’t go wrong. I tried the pumpkin mousse served up in a martini glass, topped with a hazelnut crunch and garnished with a caramelized sugar and cinnamon stick ‘lollipop,’ which doubles as an edible utensil. The mousse was light in both texture and flavor and, paired with a piping hot espresso, provided a perfect end to their new fall lunch menu.
