Slog - Comments on Coco Au Revoir http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/coco_au_revoir_1 Esteemed local pastry chef Sue McCown has abruptly called it quits on Coco La Ti Da, the "dessert restaurant and lounge" she opened at 806 East Roy St (across from the Harvard Exit) last November. As McCown tells the Seattle Times, the whole Coco La Ti Da endeavour was under the gun from the start. "I started the business undercapitalized," says McCown, who admits "mistake [were] made." (Some would say the name was the first one, being more suitable to a drag queen one would run from than a dessert bar one would visit.)

She had absolutely no respect for the Loveless Building putting external conduit pipes on a National Historic Register Building and covering up the Sherpkin Murals with cloth in the back so it would fit in with her bad interior decoration taste.

HIstoric murals meets fake 50's kitschy gum drop crap, what a bad idea. No sugar high is worth enduring that.

However, the exorbitant prices for tiny little desserts were absolutely ridiculous, not to mention the pathetic service. (If I am paying $50 for two drinks and dessert, I expect dessert to arrive in less than 45 minutes, thanks.) Also, the back room looked like a badly beribboned wedding invitation.
