Dean & DeLuca is a cafe located at Orchard Central. The layout in Orchard Central is a tad confusing, but you should be able to search for the cafe easily when you are at the fourth floor of the building.
Dean & DeLuca also has a retail section in their cafe, where they sell a wide variety of products (you name it, they've got it).
I have visited the cafe twice (once around tea-time on a weekday afternoon, another during a weekend night). The cafe wasn't too crowded on both occasions.
The Rainbow Cake ($7.50) was definitely one of their more popular products. The second time when I dropped by the cafe, it was sold out.
Upon taking my first bite of the Rainbow Cake, I realised why it was so popular. It was surely one of the best I've tasted. The layers in the cake was so well constructed and each layer consists of a different taste (the cafe uses different fruit extracts/flavourings in each individual layer).
The cream frosting doesn't taste too heavy as well.
The Red Velvet Cake ($8.00) was also an item not to be missed (even though I will choose the Rainbow Cake over any of their pastries).
The Red Velvet Cake was moist in their layers and the cream cheese frosting doesn't overpowers the taste of the cake.
The service in Dean & DeLuca was acceptable, with service crew actively clearing the tables.
Also to note, Dean & DeLuca serves main courses, side dishes and other desserts as well. So, you could drop by the cafe anytime of the day and grab yourself something good!
