Dining Guide
Queen of Tarts
The companion to chef Sara North’s King Street Pub, this bakery features many of the same eclectic pastries and cheeses offered at the restaurant. Despite sparse decor the place feels homey and unpretentious. But we had eyes only for the glowing display of baked goods. The savory showstopper was the breakfast bun: soft, yeasty, and rich with egg, hash browns, sausage, and cheese. A quiche tartlet, another favorite, contrasted a crunchy shortbread-like crust with a soft filling of egg, cheese, and bacon. On the sweet side, sugar-dusted chocolate croissants could pass as beignets, with crisp-fried exteriors and spongy insides filled with chocolate ganache. A selection from the many cheeses, quite a few sourced from regional artisans, makes a great take-home snack or brag-worthy contribution to a party.
