| - We've been here a few times. Both times were on the weekend, and there wasn't much of a line either time. I think even when there isn't a long line, we still had to put up with the people who stood at the front and took a handful of minutes to decide what they wanted. I'm not sure why businesses don't ask people who don't know what they want to step aside, let people behind them order and then take their orders when they're ready. That's my only complaint about the service here. Overall though, I think it was about ten minutes total that we spent in line getting what we wanted to go.
As far as the tarts go: we got the original the first time we came here. The pastry was flaky and crumbly. The filling was light, soft, and not overly sweet. Overall, it was delicious. I think a lot of people said in their reviews that their tarts cracked and fell apart. Note, it is very *soft* . If you want a picture of the tart, take it before you commute so that you can see it is in one beautiful piece. Obviously, as soft as it is, if it bounces around, etc., it could split. Having said that, we had no trouble walking our tart home in one piece the first time. The second time, it did crack a little. But even when it does crack, we're K with it because it would be cut and devoured in a matter of minutes anyway. It's not an overly large tart. The routine is, we would cut it into four so that we could each have a slice, and then save the rest to eat later/share with others. Later was like...only a few hours later =) To be honest, I could probably eat an entire one on my own given the opportunity hahaha.
One subsequent visits, we opted to go for some of the mini tarts. We're split on how we feel about it. One loved it more than the larger tart, the other felt it wasn't as good (that person would be me). But ultimately, I think it's a good way to go because then we won't have as much to eat and then be all like, was it a good idea to eat the whole thing in a day?
We haven't tried the matcha cheesecake...will be trying it next though!!
