Delicious & affordable fruit tarts (4/5 green stars) I…read morepicked up two tartlets from Heaven's Cakes in the English Market and wish I had bought more! They were only €2 each, which seems amazing really. They were both fruit-nut combinations - one had plums on top while the other had rhubarb and the nuts were pistachio and almond. Both were delicious and I have to say I preferred them to the tart I tried from the Queen of Tarts in Dublin a few days later. Heaven's cakes tarts and pastries are a little more rustic looking but I actually prefer them that way. I'm also giving them 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact. Here are some pros and cons: Pro: *You're supporting an independent, family-run business. *They provide a simple paper bag (preferable to boxes with plastic windows). *They appear to support community events like a healthy eating day at a local school Cons: *I don't know much about their ingredients - would be nice to know a few things, e.g., are eggs free range? Any organic ingredients used? Where is fruit sourced? Etc. Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me! (greenstarsproject)

My latest purchase consisted of two French style tartlets: one a Berry and Almond mix, the other of Lemon Curd (photo), €2.00 each. Both were delicious. Service is always good and, while the wrapping may not be quite up to the French standard, it is not far off it and, in any case, is totally adequate. Web is www.

In this case it's some slightly oddish touches. Chocolate cake topped with popcorn or rock n roll brownies with marshmallows. Cool. Downstairs there is some seating and upstairs even more all mismatched and studenty. Really cool hippy vibe! The coffee was great- hot and strong and the service was top. The only slight complaints I have (and thus no 5 stars) are: no wifi available (this could really be a hang out spot for students/hipsters parking off whilst drinking and eating) and the quality of the cakes. I must say though that they were really good, large in portion and excellently decorated and served, I just wasn't blown away by them. I so wanted to but I have to be honest and say that they were just "pretty good!"
