Cafe Desé
Cafe on Tolstoi with sugar-free and gluten-free desserts, made by the owner
A dessert without refined sugar or gluten, with a specialty coffee alongside
Worth it for the sugar-free, gluten-free desserts and for the coffee, both called the best in town by different guests. This is not a side option, it is the concept.
Cafe on Lev Tolstoi street, open daily, with a terrace. It is the highest-rated place in its category in the catalogue, and the reviews explain why through one thing everyone repeats: the desserts made by the owner, without refined sugar and without gluten, which one guest calls the best desserts of their kind in town, perhaps in all of Moldova. The coffee is the second reason: two guests describe it as the best in Chișinău. The menu does not stop at sweet things: the shakshuka with a poached egg comes up, which one guest says they tasted here for the first time in their life, and the panini, the chicken one recommended outright. A couple who came in the evening describe a dinner with live music, very attentive staff and a glass of prosecco to start, and another guest says they came back every day of their stay in the city. The atmosphere is described as warm and cosy.

“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. 😇”
“Cozy place with amazing coffee ☕ and delicious desserts 🍪 We also came back for a dinner and spent a wonderful evening! Delicious food, live music that set the mood and incredibly attentive staff :) Special thanks for the glass of prosecco - a great start to the evening ✨ The atmosphere here is truly special and we want to come back again and again! Definitely recommended!”
“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.”
