Desserts

A glorious meal has to end with a glorious dessert.  Paloma's desserts will not disappoint.  All of our desserts are homemade by the chef's wife, Barbara Cohan-Saavedra, a practicing attorney, jewelry designer and glass beadmaker.  (Visit www.barbcohan.com to see her jewelry and beads.)

Instead of a menu, Paloma has an elegant silver dessert tray from which you can make your selection.  This enables us to take advantage of fresh ingredients and present an ever-changing array of sweets to please both the eye and the palate.

In addition to the large selection of baked desserts, we proudly serve an extensive selection of homemade sorbets made from fresh fruit and just enough sugar syrup to allow them to freeze properly.  Our sorbet list usually includes several unusual flavors and at least one or two for the fire-eaters among us.

Examples of some of our recent dessert offerings include:
