Heliana’s 3-star review:
After hearing so much of Tartines from yelp and few friends, we decided to buy some desserts to go - we tried the chocolate cake and the hazelnut one - to be honest, nothing really amazing. After realising we didn't try none of their best selling items (like the tarts) we gave this place another try - pride weekend we got a spot outside (table was dirty and there was still empty cups from the previous customer and so did the next table) but who cares right - we aren't that high maintenance anyways so like a good wife that I am, brough out my napkins and wiped out the table myself and put the other stuff away from the table :). We had a lemon tart and a coffee. My husband who is a coffee freak wasn't really pleased with his coffee and we both felt the lemon tart was just as good as any other regular dessert place. Conclusion? It is not worth the wait and the hassle of this super hyped place, we also find it tad expensive. More interested in finding those small spots that make great desserts and even better coffee and you don't need to wait that long for. By no means, I will still probably return to this place to try more of their cakes to see if I change my mind :)
