Dessert Lounge — Restaurant in Watsonville

I recently visited Desserts Lounge and tried a variety of their offerings. Starting with the potato mozzarella dogs, the Hot Cheeto variant had a perfect amount of spice that was pleasantly spicy without being overwhelming.

Very sad because the flavor was there but it was impossible to eat and overshadowed by that oil. To top it off they gave me the wrong flavors of...
