King East finally has a dessert place that can withstand the turnover of restaurants (Um, Weezies?) over the last year or so.
This cute and minimal shop offers crepes, shortbread cookies and selective array of little cakes. Don't be mistaken by their size, these babies pack in a lot of flavor and texture within the first bite.
I bought the Turtle tart, Lemon tart and the Earl. All of them were presented neatly in the display and they were even taped to the bottom of my take-home box so they remained in tact and pretty as in store by the time I got home.
The Earl was a dream. This was an earl grey chocolate mouse with cookie base. However, my favorite was the Lemon tart. This must be the best lemon tart I've had in the city. It was tangy and fresh with a buttery crust and marshmellow topping. I was actually a bit sad when I finished my last bite haha.
I didn't try the Turtle tart, but I imagined it was just as good as the others since my boyfriend finished the whole thing without breathing.
I wished I picked up the shorties (shortbread with orange jam) and the caramel but for 3 cakes, I was already out $23.00. Average price for a cake is $7.00
I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Don't go to Metro or Loblaws for Dufflet pastries, come here instead.
