Finally! No disappointment either, that's always best. Cherry on top, with my daycare bestie! Who can say that?! And if you can, bless UP! The space is warming, inviting and I love the farmhouse chic vibes. I was t there for the aesthetics, but it was lovely. Staff is super attentive, knowledgeable and sweet! JESS guided us through the lovely menu. I studied it prior, LOL, and she was on point! The experience was chill, love and yummy. Risotto with scallops and shrimp was phenomenal! Next time I'll ask to 86 that brown butter vinaigrette. The biscuits with the sublime butter was a great start along with the strawberry salad my GODSIS got. It was FRESH! We got different desserts to try and I'll be back to try them all. She got the mini donuts and according to her "they are not munchkins"! No these were special, because I tried them. Perfection. We shared the sweets and that butterscotch treat was perfect and here is where the service over stands! Thank you JESS! Can't wait to go back when it's warmer and sit out in the GARDEN! Lovely service, esthetics and vibes. Park nearby, enjoy and stroll the park. Can't wait to return. S T A R R read more

Food-- biscuits were like 0/10. It was advertised like Red Lobster, on some cheddar bay type of thing. They were extremely hard and were not giving that. Red Lobster should take over in that department!! The shrimp & grits were DELICIOUS --10/10. The dessert was really good, too. I'll give it a 9/10 because I didn't get to enjoy much of it bc I left it in the fridge and forgot about it. But from what I tasted when I got it, I love that the lemon cake wasn't too tart considering the raspberry sorbet and lemon curd took on that role. And that mocktail sangria was delicious--OMG 12/10! Service-- the guy was great! No complaints. It was my friend's birthday and they came through with the cute birthday brownies for us to share. Ambiance-- it's a really cute place and I hope to sit in the back one day because it's really dope over there. I took myself on a tour . read more

2nd time here and another amazing experience! The salmon dish was good but not a lot of food. The cucumber salad was yummy and the cornbread is amazing. Got the same drink as last time, their version of a spicy margarita. My dad got the bolognese like I did last time and said it's the best pasta he's ever had! The staff here is so nice and the ambiance is great. LOVE this place!!!! Incredible, flavorful food, nice staff, pretty interior, and a beautiful garden. I loved their mango margarita cocktail, it was called The Wanderer. Good flavor and they can make it spicy too! Definitely want to go back and try more items on the menu. read more

Great service and ambiance. Food was very good. Cute garden on the side. We started with soup & goat cheese. Our favorite dish was scallops & shrimp. Next would be the lamb bolognese, then the branzino. Lemon soufflé was better than berry bread pudding. read more

I had plans to kick it in the city on a Saturday evening because I had tickets to a show. So, I decided to make a reservation at Talula's since I heard many great things about it. Man, I'm soooo glad I did. I had a 5:00 pm reservation when the place first opened. My party was seated promptly. We ordered drinks. I had the "Lover" which was a cherry and chocolate manhattan. My partner had the "Woodsman," which was Talula's play in an "old fashioned." For an appetizer we tried the cornbread skillet and the Master Class aka 6 Artesian Cheeses. We absolutely loved the Master Class and the cheeses that were featured. I wish I could remember them all. Some were smokey, silky, creamy, and sweet. The cornbread skillet was tasty as well. For entrees, we chose the Black Angus Strip and the Harvest Season Salmon. Both entrees arrived in a timely fashion. I had the pleasure of experiencing the Black Angus Strip, which included crisp potatoes, black garlic aioli, and pickled shallots. My entree was FANTASTIC!!!! I couldn't finish it, but had no problem finishing it the next day. My partner scarfed down his salmon and said it was delicious. We simply loved our dinner at Talula's and would absolutely choose to revisit before our next show in the city. read more

Incredible food: elevated, warm and colorful. Attentive wait staff and really cozy vibe on the inside.

Would love to go back! read more

An excellent restaurant to include service, food, & cocktails. We had a party of 4 for dinner in October '25, stating this because the menu changes. We sat outside on the patio under the various heat lamps, nice n toasty. We began with "The Master Class" this is a charcuterie board with six cheeses, nuts, and jam. It was yum yum. Very excellently paired. We all very so happy to have this delightful experience. I split the pear & goat cheese salad and this is something you need to experience. Like the ingredients are paired so well in the salad. My taste bud were living their best life. As a vegetarian I ordered the handmade ricotta ravioli. They added a mushroom gravy which made for a protein addition. The pasta was al debate. Ravioli was covered in Swiss, sage, and breadcrumbs. I felt this was a good size entree. For a cocktail I delighted in The Happy Camper. It's bourbon base which I love. read more

Breakfast at Talula's Garden was excellent. Fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere made it a great start to the day. Service was attentive without feeling rushed, and the overall quality felt thoughtfully prepared rather than standard brunch fare. I'm planning to return for dinner next time--if breakfast is any indication, the evening menu is likely worth exploring as well. read more

First off, this place is beautiful! The outside is like a magical dream and the inside is a bit fancy but impressive. The service was very nice and accommodating to our needs. We were a big party in town for a business retreat. We shared a few appetizers, including the cheese board, biscuits, and the burrata and tomato salad. All were good, but the biscuits were really a stand out and amazing. For meals I ordered the scallops and shrimp dish while some ordered the chicken, the lamb bolognese, the corvina, and the salmon. All were good but the chicken was wonderful and I wish I had gotten it! By dessert we were so full, but did order the lemon soufflé for us all to have a bite. It was tasty, maybe wouldn't order again, but it had a nice tartness. Would definitely go here again and highly recommend it! read more

We went to Talula's Garden to celebrate our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. We started with our drinks. I got the froze. It was perfectly refreshing and fruity! We then got the famous cheddar biscuits, and wow... they live up to the hype. I ordered the chicken and gnocchi, which was rich and comforting without feeling too heavy. everything tasted so fresh and tasty. To celebrate, we shared a cute little dessert (they even wrote "Happy Anniversary" on the plate!) and a they gave us a glass of sparkling wine, which made the night feel extra special. The staff was so kind and thoughtful the whole time. Will recommend to friends and come back if I get the chance. read more

Talula's Garden is probably currently my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia at the moment. My wife and I went here to celebrate our 6-year anniversary, as it's a cute little "date night" spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, and staff went above and beyond to make it truly special. From the moment we sat down, their kindness and attention to detail stood out. They started us off with a delicious sample of their lavash cracker with whipped ricotta, and later surprised us with complimentary mini chocolate chip cookies and glasses of champagne! Our waitress was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great menu insights. She checked in often and made sure everything was perfect. The Fall-inspired cocktails were delicious and creative, and the food was to die for. I had the seared sea scallops and fresh gulf shrimp over leek risotto. It has been hands down one of the best meals I've had in Philadelphia. Everyone, including our waitress, recommended the cheddar-chive biscuits as an appetizer, so we gave them a try and truly found out what all the hype was about. I can't praise this place enough for the quality of their staff, service, and food. An absolute must-try when in Philly! read more

This was a fantastic experience. It has the cutest decor and comfortable seating. I came with a party of 5 and the server was spot on and attentive. I got the pork chop because believe it or not, that's a go to when I see it in the menu. It was juicy and had a great flavor. The added cookies and ice cream choices were great too. I have been to several Philly restaurants now, but certainly not as many as a local. With that said, this one tops my list. It's really really great. read more

I had a the pleasure of being in Philadelphia for an only a day and a half and Talula's Garden was one of the top places on my list to go visit. I'm happy to say they did not disappoint! The Ambiance: visually the inside and outside of this restaurant is beautiful. They are two different vibes. The outside was almost whimsical like an elevated fairy garden, especially as the sun starts to set. The inside is also cozy but at the same time modern and intimate. I chose outside because I went early September and the weather was perfect. The Service: my server was incredible. Almost everything I ordered came at his suggestion and he did not steer my wrong! He warned me that portion sizes are a bit larger (I was by myself so this was a very welcome warning) and he helped me pick some of the greatest hits, in his opinion. I always had a drink and he was always nearby if I needed anything. One of the managers stopped by to check in which was a nice touch as well. The Food: the star of the show! Overall, I was incredible impressed with all of the flavors that work harmoniously and the lightness for some of the dishes was astounding. I felt like I was being transported through a wonderful food journey. My favorites included the line caught tuna crudo, steak frites, espresso martini, and warm chocolate pudding cake. It was an excellent solo meal. I will return to Philadelphia one day and will make sure I stop by here again for a wonderful meal. read more

What a great dining experience I had here! Recently took a trip to Philly and had the pleasure of being able to dine at Talula's Garden. Firstly, service was amazing. I dined alone and had no issue getting a table to myself. For a weekday, the restaurant was busy which I feel shows how popular this Talula's is. The restaurant overall has a cozy garden feel to it. With the dim lights and the decor, it definitely gives an intimate feeling to your dining experience. The outside of the restaurant looks fantastic as well and if I'm ever able to dine here again, I will definitely be requesting to sit there. Food was amazing! I ordered and dined on the seared salmon. I was pleasantly surprised at the melody of flavors with the beats, kale and orzo but they came together perfectly. I was also given a complimentary dish before hand that was a burst of flavorful even with its size. I highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

A few years ago, while visiting Center City, Philadelphia, we stumbled upon Talula's Garden. We had no idea of the magic that awaited us, but fast forward a few years, on a return trip to the area, we were sure to make a reservation at Talula's again for our first night in town. Driven by local ingredients Talula's Garden, is a farm to table experience conceived by award winning chef Aimee Olexy. The restaurant is nestled on a beautiful street just across from a park and offers both luxurious inside dining and fairytale-esque garden seating options. We began our meal with a bright and refreshing cocktail, The Sicilian, Talula's Blood-Orange Gimlet, which is made with gin, Italian blood orange, fresh lime and agave. A super delicious start to a yummy meal! Next we delighted in the Thai Cucumber Salad, which was deliciously marinated in a sesame chili vinaigrette and garnished with red onion, mint and crunchy peanuts We selected the Bronzino and Roasted Bone-In Pork Chops for our entrees. The Branzino was beautifully seared, flaky and flavorful. It topped a creamy, lemony, white bean puree and was accompanied by broccoli, baby kale and a spectacular garlic-anchovie-chili vinaigrette. The Smoke Roasted Bone-in Pork Chop was charred in just the right way and remained super juicy and fork tender. It was accompanied by cheddar grits, roasted shishitos, poblanos, red onions and chipotle beurre fondue. The only suggestion would be to assess the grits to pork chop ratio as we felt the portion of grits was quite substantial. Overall Talula's is a fantastic find and will remain on our Philly Food Faves list for all future visits!! I highly recommend trying this magical little haven in the heart of Center City!! read more

Thrilled with our dining experience here! Visited on NYE for the first time and everything was exceptional. The drinks, food, service, and ambiance were 5 starts!

This place reminds me of Anthropologie in a restaurant. It was an excellent meal at Talula's Garden. I had the scallop and gulf shrimp risotto for $38. It was creamy and decadent. I've never been to a restaurant where I wanted to order all 5 desserts. I settled on the warm chocolate cake with the peanut butter ice cream. It was so good. My friends ordered the Apple Tartin and the Carrot cake. They both raved at their desserts. Feels like a date place as I felt like I was in my own little rom com. Service was excellent and I'm glad I went there for dinner. Pro tip - make reservations so that you can secure a table. Eating inside is a better option as it was hot outside. read more

hands down one of the most delicious restaurants in Philly!! this place has amazing food, chic decor, and great service. my husband and I came here for an early dinner for the first time and are already looking forward to coming back. The biscuits were so flaky and buttery, the spinach and artichoke dip was piping hot and delicious, and the fish entrees we both got were perfectly crispy and well made. we're looking back at these photos has me craving another visit very soon (maybe even for Valentine's Day.). read more

Worth every bit of the hype! One of the best meals I think I've had in the USA and especially Philly (which says a lot in such a foodie city). Everything was absolutely delicious, from the starters to the entree to the dessert. We started with the meatballs; tomato, burrata & peach salad; and the cheddar chive biscuits. All were so good, especially the biscuits - made to perfection & with an excellent salted butter. For our mains, I got the salmon and my boyfriend got the scallops. That salmon dish is one of the best single dishes I've ever had. The salmon was seared and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside, and while the salmon was made perfectly, the dish was compounded by the accompaniments. The farro, beets, pistachios, and golden raisins made it pack such an incredible flavor, and the dressing they were in was delicious. We finished with the lemon soufflé cake which was AMAZING. As it was my birthday dinner, they also brought a small white cake that was so tasty too. I can't wait to go back and try more things! PS Taylor Swift and her boyfriend were recently spotted here too! read more

We went to Talula's for brunch on Sunday, and the food was truly outstanding. I can't recommend the Thai cucumber salad, the cheddar and chive biscuit, and the mini chocolate croissants enough. Everything was truly outstanding. The Siracha bacon was a hearty portion, but it wasn't my favorite of the dishes. The service was pretty good, and the outdoor atmosphere is so charming! We will be back! read more

My friend and I had a 4:45pm reservation for dining at the outside area. We got there a little early so we sat at the bar for some cocktails and a salad. The cocktails and salad were delicious. Cliff our bartender was friendly and very helpful with the menu! The place is very cute and nicely decorated with farm style accents throughout. The bathrooms were clean. All the finishings were very intentional. After about 15mins we were told our table was ready. We went outside into the covered tents with heaters which was nice and comfortable. The spacing was tight but not unmanageable. The service was great outside too. We both got entrees miso salmon and scallops/shrimp risotto. Both were the perfect portion for two hungry ladies but also not too much. We had room for dessert and got a lemon soufflé with raspberry sorbet. Our server checked in on our regularly and the experience was perfect. I cannot think of one thing we would have changed. The menu is very inclusive and high quality for the price. I would suggest this place time and time again. We did stop in the sister shop next store with coffee and quick bites. Very nice style in there too and place was packed which I took as a great sign. Love Talula's and will stop by again my next time in Philly! read more

Cute spot with fast, friendly, and attentive service. But the food was just okay. Don't get me wrong, it's fresh and very high quality, but the flavors were underwhelming. This review is specifically for the brunch, which: I know that people go to brunch expecting something specific, but the smashburger was bland, the cheddar chive biscuit was just kinda salty, the meyer lemon souffle was too sweet. The strawberry goat cheese salad was the best thing, and I have no notes about that other than it was yummy. Again, fresh and high quality, but not memorable. I'd be curious about the regular dinner menu, maybe, but likely won't be back for brunch. read more

The cocktail menu is exceptional, outdoors is covered and it will suffice during a rainy day! With the tent, even it can be a bit cold out there. Inside is pretty much always popping, so although this place isn't quite my cup of tea, many do love it, and if you've got the extra cash to spend, you could certainly do worse! Across the street from Washington square is the perfect street to take a stroll after dinner. read more

My friends made a reservation for brunch a few weeks prior. Thankfully we did as it likely got even more popular after Taylor Swift celebrated Mother's day there. We split the pancakes which were excellent. I got the Local brunch, which was basic but done so well that I would get again. The cheesy scrambled fried eggs had the perfect fluffy texture. The potatoes and bacon were divinely crispy and the biscuit was good as well. My husband and friend got the sausage and gravy. Only recommendation is it needed more biscuits to soak up all the sauce. The fried chicken and waffle looked saucy but delightful as well. I would definitely recommend this place for brunch if you find yourself in Philadelphia! Service was also quick. read more

I'd been wanting to try this spot in Washington Square for some time and decided to do so for my birthday dinner date with my little human. We had their biscuits and salad for an appetizer, scallops and shrimp for dinner, and tried 3 desserts. I loved the atmosphere since it was very comfy and cozy with eye-catching trinkets to see around the walls for decor and candle-lit ambiance. The food is farm-to-table and freshly made to order. The service was friendly and quick to boot. We had a great dinner and time with delicious food. The soufflé cake and apple cider donuts were our favorites. read more

AI directed us here via a created itinerary with restaurants walking distance from our hotel across the street from Independence Hall. So glad we followed the suggestion. The ambiance, food and service were first class. We sat in the garden (late Sept with mild weather) which made for a perfect, romantic evening with my bride of 42 years. We ordered the beet salad which were delicious and visually appealing. The blending of flavors was fresh and well balanced. She ordered Branzino (fish) and I had the Lamb Bolognese. Both were outstanding and, again, a perfect blending of complimentary flavors without any one overwhelming another. The server brought out a dish of broccoli on the house and desserts since we travelled from the mid-west (I guess). We had a pleasant stroll back to the hotel through one of the beautiful, historic parks in the area. A memorable evening! read more

Place is superb, I can confirm the other excellent reviews. Stopped in for dinner during a week of gluttony on a vacation. To be honest I was a little tapped out on food when we arrived but you take the opportunities as they arise. Grandma is watching the kids all week! Started off with chive cheddar biscuits with butter and honey. A+. I could eat these all day. Main was roasted half chicken in a gravy with crispy gnocchis. This was next level. Perfectly cooked and tender. Gravy was amazing. I was only able to have a few bites of my Thai cucumber salad because I was stuffed. It had a spicy kick to it. I would like to go back and try that more properly. Wife got steak frites. I nicked a few fries they were very good and had two mixed sauces. Thus far this is the best restaurant we have done at in Philly and the others were great too. Highly recommended!! read more

Outdoor dining at Talula's Garden is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. Don't get me wrong - the inside of the restaurant is beautiful too but there just was something about dining outside in a scene of greenery. It was peaceful. We arrived pretty early and the host kindly mentioned we could sit at the bar until closer to our reservation time. While we were there, we ordered two frozen rosés. Service at the bar was fast and the bartender was nice. Once we were seated, our waiter came over and he was a pleasure! He provided my friend with an entree recommendation and was great with clearing plates off the table and topping off our glasses of water. I shared the Fresh Baked Cheddar-Chive Biscuits with my friend and they were perfect. Not too dry and the butter on the side with was creamy and melted right onto the biscuit. The House-Perfected Kennebec Potato Frites were ordered for sharing and the best part was the black truffle aioli! I wanted to take it home with me and save it for later. They give you a large portion of it, too. It paired amazingly with the fries. Finally, I went with the Vegan Spring which is basically a zucchini cut as a boat-style and filled with quinoa and a slew of other green veggies. I was full after eating one so I boxed up the rest. I loved my time here so much. Brunch at Talula's Garden is next on my list! read more

Awesome spot for dinner. Didn't know this place's reputation beforehand and found out Taylor and Travis had visited a few months earlier, so I guess that's some validation? Cheddar chive biscuits - get! Warm, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with flavor. Butter was soft and easy to spread. Pork chop - cooked to medium. Huge piece, juicy, easy to cut, great with the sauce. Mashed potatoes were light and just so good. Would love even more shishitos/onions on there since those were roasted/caramelized well too. Chicken & gnocchi - chicken was thicc so I was worried it would be dry, but it was tender and juicy. Brown butter and truffle from the gnocchi and gravy added so much umami. No bones to deal with which greatly reduced barrier to entry. Chocolate pudding cake - perfect conclusion. Peanut butter ice cream was intensely peanut butter. The chocolate cake was moist and dense like a brownie. Crunch from the peanuts and chocolate shell jazzed up the texture. Cocktails - I tried a fall seasonal called The Baker, sort of a spritz with apple/cinnamon spices. Light and sweet, up my alley. The Treehugger was sweet and smokey, also perfect for fall. Pretty large drinks too, NYC cocktail bars would serve like half that. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating; we picked outdoor which thankfully has heat lamps. I loved the plants everywhere and the colorful lighting - felt really whimsical. Tons of space between tables and no crazy loud music. Our server was the best! She was hilarious; she tore a menu in half to make me feel better when I spilled water on one. Would befriend her immediately. $78 after tax/tip, but worth it to me - portions were large and the experience beyond the food was amazing. read more

Had dinner here last night with my hubby and it was excellent! It's the most beautiful, hip, whimsical and hip ambiance, all in one. Our server was Keith, and he was absolutely wonderful. We ordered the manhattan drinks and they were excellent. We started with the ricotta gnudi. They were light, flavorful and just delicious! For my dinner I had the shrimp and scallop risotto, and my husband had the steak with frites. We also had the whipped rosemary potatoes, which were perfection. Both of our meals were incredible! We usually don't order dessert, but we ended up getting the donuts and, wow, they were amazing! Definitely go here! Highly recommend. read more

The food and service were excellent, making for a really enjoyable Saturday brunch experience. We were seated after about 10 minutes in the outdoor enclosed area. Even though it was a cold day, the space was heated with lamps, creating a warm, cozy, and comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the Local Brunch, while my friend chose a few à la carte items: cheese grits, an herb biscuit, bacon, and a lemon poppyseed pancake. The biscuits were overcooked, but everything else was wonderful. The bacon had the perfect crisp, the scrambled eggs were fluffy, and the rest of the dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The service was just as impressive. Our server checked on us often, refilled our drinks without us having to ask, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, despite one small hiccup with the biscuits, the combination of great food, attentive service, and a cozy heated outdoor setup made this a brunch spot worth returning to. read more

We had a fantastic dinner tonight after a long time! From their drinks and food to the ambience and service - everything was top notch. Their Pan seared Salmon came with the most mouth watering risotto and paired extremely well with the accompanying kale, beets, and pistachios. The Ravioli was creamy and buttery. The Wallflower is a must if you like drinks with a delicate flavor. My husband had the Spicy Mango Margarita which was delicious but could be presented better. The highlight of our meal was the Warm Banana Bread Pudding - absolutely mind blowing! Do not pass on it if its on the menu! We plan to come back when it is warmer to enjoy their outdoor garden again! read more

Just visited Talula's Garden for the first time. The ambience is lovely and I really liked the overall garden aesthetic. The restaurant was extremely busy, not a table empty. Now for the food: The spritz I got was a special and it was delicious! The cheddar biscuits were great and became even better with the butter. The beet salad was phenomenal, it was a perfect blend of textured and flavors. I highly recommend! Now, unfortunately, our main left a lot to be desired. The shrimp and scallop risotto came to the table pretty lukewarm. It seemed as if the dish had been ready for a while before it was brought to the table. I will definitely return and try a new main :) read more

Posting this late, but had a great Christmas Eve dinner here with my family. CHEDDAR-CHIVE BISCUITS ($8) - I'm not a big fan of biscuits in general as I find them dry, but these were some of the better ones I've had, especially paired with the honey butter CRISPY LAMB BRISKET ($20) - Solid appetizer, with interesting flavor combination from the baba ghanoush, pomegranate, and crispy lamb MEATBALLS AL FORNO ($18) - Very meaty, hearty dish, though the tomato sauce was a bit too sweet for me TUNA TARTARE ($22) - Good! We also got the daily baked oyster special, but I didn't try those. ROASTED CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI ($35) - The chicken was nice and crispy, and the gravy was very good. Would definitely recommend this one HANDMADE RICOTTA RAVIOLI ($30) - Nice mushroom sauce, we added on the truffle addition and don't know that it was worth it SEARED SALMON ($35) - Really liked the combination of flavors and farro, would have appreciated a slightly bigger salmon portion WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIE ($14) - A fine if not particularly special dessert option, came with peppermint ice cream Not the most memorable or innovative meal I've had, but no missed or complaints. read more

Walking into Talula's Garden filled me with delight. The garden party theme was executed wonderfully, with framed prints of plants & flowers adorning the walls, tea candles in mason jars on the tables which were topped with dainty, mismatched plates. There was an air of sweetness to the place, without being overtly feminine or at all kitschy - it was very Martha Stewart ... a sophisticated cozy. Our group began with several starters - the cheddar chive biscuits with honey butter, the meatballs, and the pear salad, all of which were very nice. I especially enjoyed the biscuits (which were flavorful and crumbly in the right way) and the goat cheese medallion which was served with the salad. Geez, if I could pin a goat cheese medallion to the breast of my blazer I would. For my main, I chose the seared shrimp & scallops on top of cauliflower risotto topped with crispy capers! Try saying that five times fast! Actually don't, I lack the patience to sit through that. Oddly enough, my main was my least favorite dish of the night. There an excess of richness without the any alleviating elements that some citrus or a hit of vinegar would've accomplished. Especially with seafood, I appreciate some zip-zang-bright-acidic notes, which were missing from this dish. While I wasn't WOWed by my main, I adored every other element of my evening at Talula's Garden, especially DESSERT!!! I chose the Wildflower Honey Crème Brûlée - Sorry -- wait a sec, I'm tearing up. I'm blubbering and causing a scene. People are looking and pointing. Tears are rolling down my face and onto my keyboard as I type, because I do not live in Philadelphia, and won't be able to have this perfect, perfect, perfect pot of perfection maybe ever again. So I beg of you, dear reader, go to Talula's Garden and think of me as you order the crème brûlée... read more
