Mos Burger Cafe Mos‏

Just as MacDonald's is trying to lure people away form the coffee chains with premium coffee, Mos Burger has Cafe Mos. Even though I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I think these cakes are beautiful. One is a black sesame and green tea, and the other is strawberry and baked cheese.
