Tart Baking Company is owned by Shelburne Falls and Catalpa Coffee- all three being alternate…read morecoffee stores in Noho. This means, that the coffee you get here is going to be Catalpa roasted beans, but with a higher selection of "fancy" pastries. (The apricot croissant I had was very very delicious. ) I do not love Catalpa espresso as much as Shelburne Falls coffee, because it has a very sweet taste with a bitter finish, I prefer something that is more of an earthy or mellow light roast. Just smelling the ground coffee makes you think of something flowery and sharp. They have limited breakfast sandwiches and a few drink specials that remind me of what they have over at Catalpa . Unfortunately, because all three stores are linked, that means none of them have soy milk anymore, which is my go to espresso add-in. It is even still on the sign at the counter. The staff is friendly, and it's at a nice spot near where Shelburne Falls used to be. Their main advertisement is their croissant, so four stars for having a super delicious croissant. For not having any seating, and advertising soy milk and having any, one star deduction.

It was mainly a bakery, with a small counter and one employee at the front, where you place your order. All the breads looked amazing, but I decided to just go with a pretzel, since I was just looking for a little snack. I know it's hard to base a review off a pretzel alone, but wowza, that pretzel was delicious! It was clear that the ingredients were top notch. If you're looking for more of a café vibe, you're not going to find it here. But if you're looking for some great baked goods, look no further!

I stopped by here for a quick coffee and bagel sandwich yesterday. As expected on a Sunday morning,…read morethe place was buzzing. I really did enjoy the seating by the large sunny window. The layout and atmosphere in here is beautiful and just what a sunny brunch/breakfast spot should be. I got the goat in the garden bagel with lox. The bagel itself was very chewy. The goats cheese was plain and could have been dressed a little bit. Small things like adding dill and garlic to the cheese or dressing the sandwich with olive oil and arugula would do the trick here. Cold brew coffee was pretty standard but more on the watery side. My friend got a broccoli cheese scone which was delicious.

They also sell baked goods - they're made by a local bakery, not on sight, but they're delicious. They're also incredibly light, and I know this because after one delicious bite of the chocolate cake (like a small chocolate lava cake), one gust of wind blew it away! I was devastated, emotionally overwrought... I did pick it up so no dog found it as a treat. On a related note, there is indoor and outdoor seating.

The passionfruit-filled one was my absolute favorite. Good quality ingredients are evident in these chocolates. I'm really anxious to try their hot chocolates as they make several different kinds using legit chocolate, not the powdery fake stuff. They also make sandwiches and some other light foods that looked really good and another reason to stop by again in the future. The young lady working that day was very helpful and friendly. I saw a lot of students working on their laptops so the environment itself is calm and relaxing.

So much good here: Amazing pie, kind staff, cutest vibes, and lots of outdoor seating and a fair amount of indoor seating. I stopped in the Saturday before Easter and they were a little low on baked goods (no actually pie left sadly) but I still snagged myself one of the custard key lime pie bites. It was SO good. I would get it again in a heartbeat. Perfect coconut crust, amazing custard. It was delicious. We also grabbed a few iced coffees that hit the spot. Worth a visit if you have a sweet tooth or even a hankering for a coffee.

I had the buffalo chicken hand pie. It was warmed and I'm glad I got two. I got the brown sugar chocolate chip cookie and the cookie of the month. It was lemon flavored and simply divine. The allure of Florence is everything is mostly unique and cozy. Florence Pie Bar checked both boxes.
