I. Love. La Gourmandine!
It has to be a special treat for me to make my way within their business hours... but I've found plenty of reasons to celebrate with special treats from there! Birthdays, wedding, friends visiting from out of town, Tuesdays.... you get the picture!
Call ahead for the raspberry tart, I learned it was seasonal - but it is the most amazing thing I've had, maybe ever. Other favorites include the lemon tart (YASS!) and nearly anything made of chocolate.
The shop is small and offers little seating so I've mostly boxed my goodies up and taken them home (or to parties) to enjoy. They have been good for days after parties (I've had to force myself to make them last longer, but a piece a day for a week... what a great week!)
