I have in fact found, THE BEST lemon tart on the planet earth. The crust, the lemon curd, the meringue, it was all perfect and I think I may have let out a little moan with each delicious bite. Actually, I know I did.
Lemon tarts are my thing. It’s ALWAYS the first thing I look for when we go into a pastry shop and let me tell you Bob, I hit the jackpot at Coyle’s Bakeshop in Seattle.
It’s more of a neighborhood cafe than a tourist destination {thank goodness} and I can’t help but think if we lived around the corner from Coyle’s Bakeshop I might plant myself there for an hour or two each day to work on the blog, sip on tea, people watch and enjoy some sweet goodness. To say I can’t wait to go back would be the biggest understatement of the year. Seriously.
The Girl chose a yummy berry meringue. I tell ya, this goal of visiting 52 bakeries in 1 year has got to be hands down my favorite goal I’ve ever made. Who knew that a less than stellar trip through an Albertsons bakery last december would inspire me to seek out delicious pastries?
So I want to know… what is your ALL TIME favorite thing to look for when you go to bakeries? Loaves of bread? Croissants? Giant cookies? Hand pies? I need to know. Maybe I’ve been missing out on something all these years and don’t even know about it.
If and are in the Seattle area, make sure to stop by Coyle’s for a treat, and be sure to take a look at the outdoor seating area across the street at The Yard. I plan on duplicating it {for a chicken enclosure/coop} once we bust out of this joint one day.
Keep calm… and sample on. 🙂
