| - I wasn't ENTIRELY impressed with this place...
Until I ate my lemon curd cookie at home later that night.
But, let me rewind and start from the beginning. A friend and I wanted to try out lunch in her new neighborhood and she said she had been eyeballing this place for awhile. I consulted Yelp, of course, and headed over after work. When we got there, we were starving (Google maps doesn't give the BEST directions =/) and overwhelmed by the variety of tasty options. We asked the man behind the counter for suggestions; at this point, my brain was slowing down in great need of sustenance. I got a chipotle turkey wrap or something like that and it was ok. A little bland for the price, but still yummy. The little dabble of cabbage salad that came with it was superb--I kind of want the recipe (I love cabbage!). When we were done eating, we had been thinking about the desserts for awhile at this point and really wanted some, but couldn't cram it in our stomachs, so we got them to go.
Upon texting each other later, we found that the desserts were more impressive than the lunch foods. Or at least that's how I feel. I adore lemon desserts and this lemon curd cookie changed me. I can't handle lemon bars anymore. Lemon curd cookies from J Pistone are the way to go!
The atmosphere here is unusual and fun. The tiny little dining area makes you feel like you're in a tiny cafe, but then you look the other direction and there's a wall of wine and scone mixes! Strangely cute!
