The Secret Fall Of Constance Wilde @ The Guthrie

MetroMix is a new online resource for everything and anything to do in the Twin Cities.  Check out their review of the Wilde Roast Cafe (and add you own).

This cozy, Oscar Wilde-inspired neighborhood café enjoys a strong following, in large part because of the slate of delicious (and award-winning) desserts. Enjoy their sinfully good La Bete Noire, a flourless chocolate that was featured nationally in Bon Appetit magazine. Though straight-friendly, owners Tom and Dean welcome are very welcoming to GLBT clientele. A crackling fireplace creating the comfy atmosphere in which to unwind after a long week.
