Tarts Anon

Fantastic tarts as always. The pistachio cream in the pistachio saint honore was just a bit bitter but other than that it was perfect and had the perfect crust. The raspberry jasmine tart was also divine, with the jasmine flavour shining through and working well with the raspberry. The ube passionfruit tart was nice and had a yummy but powerful passionfruit flavour that overpowered the ube a bit. Coffee was unfortunately disappointing for me, with my citrus cold brew tasting like medicine. Also got a soy matcha latte that was not bad, but would probably prefer a stronger matcha flavour and creamier milk texture. Still giving 5 stars because this is a tart shop.

Tarts Anon is one of those places that completely lives up to the hype. The tarts here are on another level — beautifully made, rich without being heavy, and absolutely packed with flavour. You can tell every tart is made with care, and the flavour combinations are creative but never over the top. The classic flavours (like lemon or chocolate) are perfect in their simplicity, while the seasonal specials are where they really shine — things you’d never think of, but somehow they just work. The pastry itself is always flawless: crisp, buttery, and the kind you can only get from people who know exactly what they’re doing. The shop has a simple, understated vibe that lets the tarts do all the talking. The staff are friendly and clearly passionate about what they’re making, which adds to the whole experience. It’s not the cheapest pastry in town, but the quality is so high that it feels worth every cent. They’re the kind of tarts you want to bring to a dinner party or keep just for yourself at home with a coffee — they always feel a bit special. Tarts Anon is easily one of the best pastry spots in Melbourne, and once you’ve tried them it’s hard to go back to anything else.

This is the sTART of a new love…Bought 5 seasonal tarts today, just $11 each! The flavours are incredible and inventive, I don’t know how they manage to curate such lovely, quality flavours every month. No matter what you’re into, there’s a mix of traditional (lemon, tiramisu) and more niche tastes (sesame, bergamot) and they had one savoury one (parmesan x mushroom) today that I had with ice choc to-go! Only thing I would ask for is if there was more than 1 savoury offering.

Wish I could try them all but only managed to try three - potato chorizo, pecan butterscotch, and pistachio blueberry. The pastry is thin and crisp and delicious. The pistachio one was the standout for me - tart shell was beautifully flaky with a smooth filling inside - not overly sweet and very creamy. Pistachio and blueberry make a fantastic flavour combo. The staff were lovely.

The Smoked Pecan & Butterscotch Tart is unreal—perfect balance of sweet, nutty, and smoky in a buttery crust. Easily one of the best desserts in Melbourne. Can’t wait to try more!

Delicious tarts! Full of flavor, great texture and not too sweet. And the staff is super nice. The place is very charming. Highly recommend.

Very disappointing experience. The tarts are incredibly overrated in terms of flavour, particularly the tiramisu which was salty (it tasted like soy sauce) and the choc hazelnut which also was going for some sort of “sweet and savoury in one” but tasted awful… and not to mention the price you have to pay for each slice! The staff were polite but won’t be coming back, Melbourne has a lot more to offer.

Flawless . Been meaning to visit since Covid and finally got down to Melbourne. Beautiful tarts. We had 3 here and the location is a bit odd but damn if they weren’t all amazing. Test and texture 10/10. Bravo Gareth 🤌
