Dinner without dessert is like a foreign movie without subtitles—you can digest both, but you'll probably miss out on the good parts. Fast-forward to tasty endings with today's Groupon to Sweet Endings in Detroit's historic Penobscot building. Choose between the following options:
- For $11, you get $25 worth of desserts, coffees, and cupcakes.
- For $79, you get a continental breakfast for 15 people (a $175 value). Sweet Endings can accommodate extra people for $8 each.
The talented confectioners at Sweet Endings fashion mouthwatering sweets and midmorning feasts with a stalwart dedication to the two most important meals of the day: breakfast and dessert. Cupcakes ($2.95 each; $5 for two) entice appetites in a dizzying array of 20 different flavors, staking a claim on unexplored taste bud regions like Christopher Columbus's second cousin, Carl. Hardworking sweetsmiths hand-craft chocolates ($16/lb.) and truffles ($21 for 12) each day, and patrons can accompany these dulcet mouthfuls with sips of coffee or tea ($1.50). Groupon holders can also opt to feed up to 15 guests with a continental breakfast. The Pangea-sized smorgasbord includes sausage, hash browns, eggs, muffins, bagels, quiche, yogurt, fruit, and a Dear John letter to lunch.
