Green Tea Cupcake at DeLise Dessert Café, $1.95
Known for its unusual, savory-sweet flavor combinations, DeLise Dessert Café also hosts a plethora of options for you non-sweet lovers. From a pumpkin cupcake with maple-bourbon frosting topped with candied bacon to a devil's chocolate version with dulce buttercream frosting, sea salt, and pink peppercorn, our top pick is the spongey green tea cupcake, filled with a "red bean surprise," and topped with sesame frosting. We're not sure this treat will provide all of the health benefits associated with the beverage itself, but we pretend it does.
