Last Saturday, I was at Wendy's for lunch. I was at a Wendy's-Tim Hortons combo store.
I dig this store setup. On a frigid wintery day, I can stay warm and toasty walking between two counters to get goodies. After I had finished downing my lunch, I opened up my Timmy's app to place an order.
My friend, Jennifer P, had posted a photo showing custard and pecan butter tarts at a Timmy's in her area. I remember looking at it and saying, "Oh, wow!" rather loudly in a public setting.
I do live under a rock. I lead a sheltered life. I need someone to tell me that I need to flock on over to a cafe to get baked goods.
I got these items:
- Custard tart
- Butter tart
I visited the women's washroom. I then headed to the Timmy's order pickup area. A young male staffer had two small bags containing a tart each.
I thanked him, looked at the cutest Timbit plushie on a shelf, and headed out the door to my car.
Sitting in my car, I was debating whether to devour one of them or wait till I got home to have them. I was still full from lunch. I ended up having them at home a few hours later.
I had the custard tart first. I liked the flakiness. The custard part tasted bland. Maybe I should have heated it up, as it did sit in my car for a while. The sweetness was okay. I have had better. However, it's okay if I have a hankering for one at 2 am and I have nothing good to eat at home.
I had the pecan butter tart maybe an hour later. Timmy's had a butter tart without any nuts or raisins late last year. I loved it so much that I bought it a bunch of times, even giving one my friend at work to enjoy, which he did.
The pecan butter tart didn't have that ooze factor that the butter tart had last year. It needed more filling. I appreciated the huge pecans in the tart, but felt that they got in the way from the buttery, sugary filling.
Maybe this pecan butter tart also needed to be heated up. The pastry was thick. Maybe it would be even better heated up. Perhaps the filling would ooze everywhere, too. It was yummy nonetheless.
Verdict: I need to have these tarts warmed up. I'll do a second trial and see how I feel.
I liked this Timmy's. There is lots of seating available. I got my goodies fast. I just need to eat these tarts immediately or heat them up before devouring them.
