Terrain Cafe
The chocolate terrarium at Anthropologie’s Terrain Cafe on Bethesda Row is both delicious and a clever marketing cross-reference—the dessert mimics the terrariums for sale in their store. The edible variety features a glass globe terrarium layered with milk chocolate ganache and dark chocolate mousse (to resemble sand and soil), plus shards of white chocolate and cookie crunch flavored with green matcha tea (to resemble moss), shreds of chocolate cake (to mimic dirt) and a “rock” filled with chocolate mousse. A garnish of micro sorrel tops off the trompe l’oeil delight.
