Cafe Desé
Cozy café serving sugar-free, gluten-free desserts, weekend brunch, and natural wines
Desserts with no refined sugar, no gluten and bold flavor — perfect pairing for weekend brunch
At Cafe Desé, the owner's signature desserts – made without refined sugar or gluten, yet surprisingly rich in flavor – share the menu with a short brunch and dinner selection, from shakshuka with poached eggs to evening plates paired with prosecco. The café occupies a bright, warm space on Tolstoi Street, a few steps from the main center, with wooden tables, natural light, and the feel of a shared living room. In the evenings, it often hosts live acoustic music, transforming the quiet morning coffee ritual into a relaxed night out with friends. Perfect for weekend brunch, a dessert with specialty coffee, or a simple but thoughtful dinner.

“It's delicious. The owner makes her own sugar- and gluten-free desserts. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff is very polite. I came once in the evening and then kept coming back while I was in Chisinau. They also offer breakfast. Everything is delicious, I'll be back. 😇”

“Known for their healthy (yet delicious) desserts, True Dese now has its own cafe where the coffee, ambiance, and service are simply fantastic. It's a cozy space a little bit outside the main downtown area. Totally worth the visit. 100% recommend.”
