Tarte by Cheryl Koh

As the prices have been steadily getting higher, this cafe is generally not too crowded. Take a seat inside and order at the counter. Tarts are still very decent but prices have gone up by more than 30-40% over the years. Still a decent place to sit around at if you’re in the building. Other places gets a bit crowded during the peak hours after lunch.

Strategically located on the second floor of Shaw Centre, right by the escalator, this cafe is absolutely gorgeous. I particularly appreciate that the space is very quiet, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, making it an excellent spot for meetings and conversations. Their tarts are quite impressive, not just visually, but also in their craftsmanship and taste. If you're unsure what to choose, I highly recommend the raspberry tart or the dark chocolate tart!

Place is quite cozy and the tarts are quite delicious. Lucky if get a seat else there are people who just sit and hog the place. Tarts are more to the sweeter kind. Stroller friendly as well as it quite spacious. Price is on a high side as a tart cost $12 to $14.

Always loved their tarts but the taste has changed quite a bit through the years. The crust is less flavorful and feels dry, the crème is lacking flavor, layers and it’s too sweet. Chocolate in the tart has no texture or flavor. Some soul is missing in the tart though it looks the same. Wonder what happened.

I liked the strawberry tart ($15.95) - the strawberries were fresh and the tart and cream had the right amount of sweetness to me. This was a nice and cosy place to read, it was almost empty on a sunday afternoon, the seats were comfortable and the music was relaxing.

Really cosy spot with friendly staff :-) Chocalate cake was rich with interesting layers and textures, incorporating caramel and cocoa crisps. Was given a free tart too by the really friendly staff :) Definitely will recommend and visit again ❤️

One awesome thing leads to another awesome thing. After attending a wonderful event, it brings me to another one: Sensory Indulgence II, where I indulge in the unique combination of exclusively crafted desserts and premium whiskies from Old Moon Spirits. It is a palates opening experience where I get to try delectable unique tarts (foie gras tart, anyone?) and explore how awesome and varied whiskies can be. The service here is awesome. The staff is friendly and prompt to topping up the ice and nuts. It’s so good that I definitely look forward to Sensory Indulgence III. Lemon Pomegranate Tart features perfectly balanced flavours and textures. It’s so amazingly good and unique. The tart taste of lemon, the tangy sweetness of pomegranate and the light sweetness of the pastry shell plus custard, all work so well together. The slightly crunchy, bouncy texture of pomegranate is chef’s kiss. It is so versatile in taste that it goes well with lots of whiskies. Vanilla Pastry Cream with Fresh Strawberries is like old school favourite that will please most palates. Very good balance of flavours too. Foie Gras Cream and Raspberry Jam Choux is my-oh-my amazingly good. Tempered with cream and raspberry, the rich savoury umami of foie gras is so perfectly balanced and realised in this dessert. My favourite for the day. I want to buy a dozen of this if there is option to. Onion Comte with Apple Jelly Tartlet is another savoury surprise that I also love. The lovely pungency of onion comte is nicely softened by the apply jelly to be truly delightful dessert. And it is perfection when paired with the whisky to bring out the core sweetness of the tart. Thoughts: Love the one-of-a-kind delicious tarts ❤️

Lovely place with different, beautiful decor, paintings and table designs. Served numerous pretty and nice tarts. Good place to enjoy treats in the afternoon, after lunch. However it got too loud when more customers came. 1 big table was fully occupied when we came. Later 2 small tables with 2 pax each. The noise level was quite unbearable. The bill came up to $42+
