Along with the seasonal drinks menu available at Tully's stores, they've also got a good lineup of seasonal sweet treats, and this Strawberry & Cheese Mousse Pie is one of the current offerings. It feels a bit like a "two desserts in one" product, since the base is a pie crust, the middle is basically cheesecake filling (just not as sweet as Western cheesecakes, IMO), and the top has a lovely, fruity strawberry glaze. I feel like all of the separate components complement each other well for a yummy sweet treat that also feels very seasonally appropriate.

A few downsides, with the most obvious one being that it's a limited time only offering. If you find yourself really enjoying it, the window to get your hands on it is relatively short (not 100% sure how long exactly, but I'm guessing a few weeks). The other downside is the price - not hugely expensive by coffee chain standards, but not a bargain, either. I liked this a lot but I personally wouldn't be purchasing it again and that's based on the price, really. Overall though I'd say it's worth trying at least once if you like fusion-feeling desserts and strawberry flavored things. Happy eating, and enjoy! :)
