Le Petit Café - I'm In Bliss

34

Hey everyone! After last week's emotional and raw bitch session (a great, poignant one I hope though) I treated myself with some decidedly non-vegan treats at a fun and cute french cafe in my hometown. It was exactly what I needed to sit back, relax, and marvel over something as wonderful and awe-inspiring as a key lime tart! Enjoy:) 


As beautiful and saliva inducing as it looks, this key lime was even more perfect in person. A crunchy graham pastry shell, sweet, with moist creamy unfiltered lime filling. The meringue was "parfait"- a whippy white cloud that satiated my appetite. A delight to look upon and feast upon.  I also threw in there a cheeky dark chocolate truffle. Unbelievable. A ++++


I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW GOOD THIS F**KING IS. I JUST CAN'T.  A freshly squeezed, perfect tangy pomegranate ice tea perfectly rosy in complexion, with the best baguette I've ever eaten. This eatery makes all its own bread, and the yeasty, crunchy exterior with warm buttery interior was heavenly with melted brie, arugula basil mixture, and a raspberry compote. TO DIE FOR.


The soup here is always superb, but this lentil vegetable set the bar high, with a lovely tomato base, and roasted corn, zucchini, and eggplant to highlight the richness and quality of the lentil beans, this was fantastic.


A fabulous way to cap off the adventure with a decaf skim milk cappuccino. The BEST CAPPUCINO EVER. Frothy, rich, yet not-too sweet, this cup of deliciousness brought the afternoon to a close, with a final au-revoir:)

Love you all, and Namaste,
Zoe

Le Petit Café - I'm In Bliss


Hey everyone! After last week's emotional and raw bitch session (a great, poignant one I hope though) I treated myself with some decidedly non-vegan treats at a fun and cute french cafe in my hometown. It was exactly what I needed to sit back, relax, and marvel over something as wonderful and awe-inspiring as a key lime tart! Enjoy:) 


As beautiful and saliva inducing as it looks, this key lime was even more perfect in person. A crunchy graham pastry shell, sweet, with moist creamy unfiltered lime filling. The meringue was "parfait"- a whippy white cloud that satiated my appetite. A delight to look upon and feast upon.  I also threw in there a cheeky dark chocolate truffle. Unbelievable. A ++++


I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW GOOD THIS F**KING IS. I JUST CAN'T.  A freshly squeezed, perfect tangy pomegranate ice tea perfectly rosy in complexion, with the best baguette I've ever eaten. This eatery makes all its own bread, and the yeasty, crunchy exterior with warm buttery interior was heavenly with melted brie, arugula basil mixture, and a raspberry compote. TO DIE FOR.


The soup here is always superb, but this lentil vegetable set the bar high, with a lovely tomato base, and roasted corn, zucchini, and eggplant to highlight the richness and quality of the lentil beans, this was fantastic.


A fabulous way to cap off the adventure with a decaf skim milk cappuccino. The BEST CAPPUCINO EVER. Frothy, rich, yet not-too sweet, this cup of deliciousness brought the afternoon to a close, with a final au-revoir:)

Love you all, and Namaste,
Zoe
