The Providore serves ok coffee, and I had an espresso with ice cream that was actually great. But then we ordered the Strawberry Short Cake, and it completely ruined the experience. The cream was clearly off – very sour, with a spoiled taste and bad aftertaste. The sponge was not fresh, dense and compressed. I could only eat a small piece before I had to spit it out. A product like this needs to be carefully handled, kept properly chilled, and used quickly. At nearly $10, I expected much better quality control. Looked good, but was sadly inedible. I was offered a refund when I complained. Kudos for that.
