Located on Federal Hill in Providence it's well known that Pastiche is the place for a good sweet treat.  Not only do they have an amazing, helpful, and kind-hearted staff but their desserts are pretty damn delicious.  While it's usually a bit too crowded to stay and eat, don't let that scare you away, just think of how good that chocolate mousse cake is going to taste.  On top of that they have everything from fruit tarts and carrot cakes to a tasty raspberry walnut cake on top of their traditional chocolate cake.  Either way despite the sometimes high prices Pastiche is the place to check out if you're looking to treat 'yo self.
