It was Valentine's Day, so after Ruben and I met up for lunch in the plaza, I thought a sweet treat would be nice. Just a quick walk over and we were greeted by bright green outdoor furniture and an adorable bakery with a bubbly personality. Cute decor and furnishings made the place feel warm and comforting. As if you were just hanging out in your friend's kitchen.
I remembered Peridot Sweets' delicious (and addicting) chocolate mousse from last year's Yelp Helps party and was delighted to find them so easily accessible. I didn't know what to expect, but I was a little surprised there weren't savory offerings like croissants and the selection was limited. Neither necessarily bad, but since I was not in the mood for cupcakes or chocolates, it was hard to find something.
I'm glad I didn't give up because the Raspberry Lemon Tart finally caught my eye and it was the best decision! The crust was delicious and had an amazing bite! It also held up really well (a little too well for the plastic forks, lol). The light and fluffy whipped cream was heavenly. There were also little pockets of raspberry and lemon in the cream that made it just perfectly tart. The fresh raspberries on top were perfect and nothing was overly sweet. Dessert perfection!
Yes, you can really spend a whole paragraph talking about a single dessert. Serious kudos. Anyway, I raved about it to lovely owner/master baker, Tiffany, and learned that it was the Raspberry Lemon Tart's first day in the case! Perfect timing for my visit and I look forward to my next tart.
