Aibee TARTLET

Will it be a fruit tart or something with the flavour of chestnuts? Visitors to Aibee TARTLET have sought out its grape and Mont Blanc tarts, and browsing the display is part of the pleasure. One customer who took home a Shine Muscat grape tart reported enjoying each element: the fruit, cream and pastry shell. Another praised the balance of grapes and pastry with rich cream that was not overly sweet. It is a tempting choice when you want fruit to take centre stage.

If texture and a satisfying bite matter to you, consider the Mont Blanc tart. One visitor recalled a thin pastry shell that was crisp on the outside and moist inside; although light, the small tart was surprisingly satisfying. The fillings and pastry vary by tart. A repeat customer noted that some varieties have a substantial almond cream filling, while the mixed-fruit and grape tarts have a layer of cream over the pastry and feel easier to enjoy after a meal. If you would rather avoid a heavier tart, it may be worth asking in the shop about the options.

There is more to choose from than fruit tarts. One customer who bought a peach pie reported that its pastry stayed crisp over time. Another enjoyed the texture of the pastry in the Tarte Tatin, as well as the soft, moist sponge of a roll cake. The range makes it easy to try something other than a tart or pair treats with contrasting textures. Add baked sweets to a snack for yourself, or choose an iced cookie with a message as a gift, as one visitor suggested. Decorated cakes are another option for birthdays and celebrations. The pleasure of choosing a tart can extend to picking out a present or a cake for a special day.

Visitors report that the shop is on a semi-basement level, reached by descending a few steps from the road, and that they have used it for takeaway. Bear the layout in mind when choosing sweets to take home.
