Haire has artfully decorated her café with a photo journal of her work, all in matching
black frames. Coffee and pastry anyone?
Southern classics are a popular choice at Just Desserts. The fully-loaded carrot
cake and red velvet cake are frequent requests. But Haire can also whip up a picture-
perfect cherry cheesecake, an Italian crème cake as fine as any and a dreamy Death by
Chocolate and Raspberry literally swimming in chocolate ganache, chocolate butter
cream icing and fresh raspberries.
Just Desserts offers more than, well, just desserts. Haire serves breakfast and lunch,
too. On a recent Saturday morning, friends Nubian Farley and Linda Stephens enjoyed
a French-inspired brunch. Haire first brought out a tempting caramel peanut butter
cake followed by a tray of bacon, egg and cheese croissants.
"Uummmm. Oh my gosh, I'm in heaven," Stephens said, savoring the first bite.
"This is wonderful." Topped off with cups of fresh steaming hot coffee, it was a
perfect meal for a cool morning.
Lunch can be had almost any time of day at Just Desserts.
Favorite dishes include Haire's homemade chicken salad
(made from her mom's special recipe), egg salad, vegetable
beef and chicken noodle soups plus two new soup offerings:
navy bean and tomato basil.
