The small bakery and dessert shop R+M Dessert Bar operates in the lobby of a glass apartment complex[3] called Cove at the intersection of Pike Street and Belmont Avenue at the southern edge of Capitol Hill, in First Hill.

[8] The shop's savory options include a zucchini bake, described as a quiche without the crust and souffle, served with arugula, homemade granola, and red wine–pickled onion.

The LGBTQ-owned[11][12] shop has a mezzanine level for private events[4] and a walk-up window with a limited menu of take-out options.

[13] Co-chefs, co-owners, and spouses Marc Adams and Rod Gambassi opened the shop in November 2017.

[14] Chelsea Lin of Seattle Magazine said the tarts are "easily the best thing on the menu" and wrote, "though you can detect the owners' lack of professional training in some of the finesse, Gambassi and Adams are providing delicious competition for the likes of Hot Cakes, Pie Bar and the neighborhood’s plentiful ice cream shops".
