Venezia Bakery was a little out of the way for us, but the custard tarts are well worth the trip.
Venezia resembles more of a corner store and deli than a full service bakery. There are some basic dry goods in stock including snacks and sodas, but there are a lot of breads and pastries to choose from as well.
The tarts are less than $1 each, so we got a few of the custard and one coconut for myself. The custard tarts are simply amazing. The crust is flaky and chewy, and the custard is sweet and creamy. The coconut tart was dense and filling for something that looked so tiny!
The pastry items aren't labeled, but since I came in here knowing I wanted tarts, I didn't ask a bunch of questions about what else was available. I only regret not ordering more; however, I didn't think the custard would hold up in the heat, walking several blocks, or countless streetcar and bus rides.
The lady behind the counter was nice, and you can't beat the hours. It's rare to come across a bakery open this late. The hours made it very convenient for us to visit during our recent vacation.
