Three Tarts

I’ve only been gifted their marhsmallow sampler. So this review is solely on that one product. Jury is out as to whether I want to traverse down to their shop to try more of their treats.
The rosemary chocolate is phenomenal! I’d easily eat a dozen of these in one sitting!
Raspberry was decent.
Vanilla was horrible. Couldn’t even finish one marshmallow.
Cinnamon was GREAT! Can’t imagine a better topping to hot chocolate! Lovely, intense cinnamon flavoring.
Espresso was subtle, but nice. Nothing extraordinary, though.

Apparently I’ve had this place bookmarked for a while now and when I found myself wandering around for a little before pilates, I wandered in.
What a cute shop! I like how they decided to integrate gifts with their food offerings and it seems like a hidden gem because of it’s location.
Yes — I will be back, once I decide that I’m no longer not eating sweets.

No more parfaits! And a couple of other treats on their original menu that I never got a chance to try :(When I walked into the small, bright little space and walked over to the small glass case, all that I saw where teeny tarts, cookies, and squares — all pretty and tasty looking. I asked the one of the owners, who was behind the counter, about the lack of additional treats and she explained that they were going to focus their store on those smaller items, and their marshmallows (I should’ve picked up a bag of them, but another time!)
I had gone to also ask about their catering, and thankfully everything will still be available on their catering menu. Appeased, and intrigued to get more information on their catering, I left with one of each of the little tarts: pine nut with wildflower honey caramel, chocolate espresso ganache, and pecan chocolate. The pine nut one is probably my favorite — subtle sweetness and a mellow nut flavor. The chocolate espresso was robust but not overwhelming (also due to cute tiny size!), and the pecan chocolate had the perfect balance of flavors. Delicious!

Amazing desserts! I had a hot pear cider, a passion fruit marshmallow and a raspberry marshmallow. I can’t wait to go back again and try other flavors.
The only reason I deducted a star was because my friend and I were kept waiting by the barista/​cashier. He was on the phone and kept us (the only two people in the place!) waiting at least four or five minutes while we stood at the counter awkwardly waiting for him to take our order. I understand it gets busy and you need to take a call but an «Im sorry for the wait» would have been nice.

I come to Three Tarts primarily for one thing, their amazing homemade marshmallows! They are a little pricey at $ 1 each, but they pack some amazing flavor! Even better, the flavors change seasonally, so you can always look forward to new things to try! My fave flavors are yuzu and chocolate rosemary.
They also sell a nice selection of cookies and other desserts, all of which have been quite tasty. The ice cream sandwiches that they make in the summer are divine, and the other reason I will stop in here during the summer months.
It’s a small shop with limited seating, but grabbing a table isn’t usually a problem. My only complaint is that I can’t go more often because I don’t live nearby!

Sadly, I wasn’t as blown away as I hoped to be.
None of the desserts really screamed at me, so i tried the homemade marshmallows which really weren’t that amazing either. I had the vanilla bean and jasmine honey marshmallows and of the two, the jasmine honey was the best. For $ 1, they’re pretty small and not worth it. My friend had the smore’s cup and said it was a bit too sweet.
I’ll have to try the drinks one day, but I’m over the desserts here…

The best ice cream sandwiches ever! And the staff is so sweet and kind. They spent a good 10 minutes chatting with me and Michelle T. telling us about all the flavors and events at Three Tarts.
After some serious thinking, we settled on the pumpkin/​ginger and salted caramel ice sandwiches. Both were divine. The salted caramel ice cream was my favorite, followed by the ginger cookie on the pumpkin sandwich. We made the mistake of eating the salted caramel one first and it overpowered the subtle pumpkin ice cream flavor.
Next time, I’ll have to be more strategic in my order of indulgences!

Fig sorbet and fancy marshmallows. When you are melting into the concrete, and you see a sign that says «Strawberry Rhubarb» sorbet, you experience a certain flavor of euphoria. And, when you walk in and discover that they in fact do not have «Strawberry Rhubarb,» but they do have «Fig,» you are no less pleased.
The sorbet was all of the joy of a Fig Newton coupled with the coolness of, well, ice cream. The petite ice cream cooler was also stocked with homemade ice cream sandwiches. They had a shelf of fine marshmallows such as yuzu, and a pastry case with tartlets and other sugary treats.
The environment was air-​conditioned and best described as quaint given the shelves lined with picture books and accessories you find adorable but can’t really justify purchasing, and it was all narrated by a nice chap with a French accent.

I tried the homemade ice cream sandwich and the marshmallows here since they were raved so much by my fellow Unilocalers. The ice cream sandwich is not as sweet as I hoped to be (I got the chocolate rosemary flavor), but the rosemary tasted quite strong. The strawberry-​basil marshmallows were AMAZING! It was just sweet, but not overwhelming, and the basil was a nice touch to the strawberry marshmallows. The cappuccino was good here, but the milk frother wasn’t working that day. The mini pastries were adorable, but I didn’t think they were anything special.
Go get the strawberry-​basil marshmallows!

Cupcakes, so over it! Thought I can be a bit more novel with bringing in mini tarts into the office for a bday party.
This is a small little tart shop in Chelsea; the décor is quite adorable they have books, gifting items and mini treats. It’s not really a coffee shop nor a bakery– there really isn’t too many seats. It’s really a walk in and take out kind of tart shop.
The mini tarts are really itybity tiny. I stopped by to grab a treat for my coworkers when I was out for work. I chose the mini tarts since fashion girls are always looking to grab the smallest of the treats. For the price, I say it’s really not worth it. The tarts are really pricey for even the mini tarts, they are definitely making a profit! Either way, I bought them and brought them in. Unfortunately, my coworkers detested them. I do agree that the flavors weren’t that great. Seeing how terrible there reaction was, I probably will not go buy them again for what the pricey price was.
In hindsight, I probably should’ve walked a bit more toward Chelsea market and gone safe and bought cupcakes instead.

After reading so many good reviews about this place, it made my friend and I went to try it out. The store is pretty small but as for the tiny desserts, it wasn’t what I expected it to be. The mini lemon curd tart was a bit too sour. My friend order the fruit dainties, took a few bites and didn’t even bother finishing it. The only good thing I had was the crunchy hazelnut pralines. I guess this place is only good for their homemade ice cream sandwiches, which I didn’t try– I doubt I will come back here again.

What an amazing little place! You don’t come across quality like this often, and you can simply feel the effort being put forth here.
Wandering around at lunch time, I stumbled upon this place that looks like a small book store /​gift shop from the outside, but they also feature their treats in the windows. I’m always looking for things that aren’t too many calories, and won’t break the bank. Their assorted cookies, etc. filled the bill at under $ 5 for 6, bat shaped chocolate cookies, made into a small sandwich, with a light spread of ganache inside. (that’s really like 12 cookies in my book, so I think the price is fairly reasonable.
The counter person was very friendly and helpful, offering a bag or a box for my little treasure. This would be a great place to send a small gift box to someone special.

I stopped in here to look for a housewarming gift, and immediately I wished I had been hungry for something sweet, because their ice cream sandwiches looked amazing.
Their housewares were also all quite beautiful, many items with the infamous bird theme. They have a substantial baby gift section but also candle sticks, frames, t-​shirts, and recipe books.
Really pleasant find!

I discovered this place thanks to a Buywithme deal (hurray for discounts), and am so glad I did!
Definitely one-​of-​a-​kind in its petite dessert offerings, I loved every memorable bite of their delicious melt-​in-​you-​mouth blood orange/​lavender jello/​cream gems, fresh soft gooey marshmallows (strawberry basil/​yuzu are my favorites), pot of dark and rich chocolate cream served in adorable cup and saucer for you to take home…
Their cookies and brownies are good as well but pale in comparison to their other treats, and unfortunately their Macaroons were way too sweet for my taste.
I left with two big bags and so many things left to try still. Can’t wait to go back!!!

The BEST marshmallows I’ve ever had!!! I’m not a huge marshmallow fan (except roasted marshmallow… Mmmmm!!!), but Three Tarts makes exceptionally amazing marshmallows! The texture and the flavor are so perfect, it can’t get any better than this!!! They even make marshmallows in 40 different flavors including mango, passion fruits, strawberry, raspberry, yuzu, vanilla, earl grey, you name it!!! 40 different flavors of marshmallows sounds crazy but it’s insanely wonderful!
Besides their marshmallows, their chocolates are TO DIE FOR!!! Oh la la, they are absolutely delightful!!! SOOOO GOOD!!! My favorites are «Crunchy Hazelnut», which is made of praline, chocolate and feuilletine, and «Chocolate Almond Yumball», which is almond and chocolate cake held together with dulce de leche and amaretto, rolled in dark chocolate and chopped nuts. These chocolates are insanely good, I can’t stop raving about them!!!
I’m embarrassed to admit I still haven’t tried their tarts yet, which ought to be excellent as well. I’m already loving everything else I’ve tried so far, this place totally deserves my 5 stars!!!
P. S. — Their pistachio macaron is quite delicious too! Too bad they don’t make vanilla macarons! :-(

This is a very cute little shop which I go out of my way for. Whenever I take my first step across the threshold I can barely contain the giggles tumbling around inside me. Five steps inside and Im in front of their compact glass case of treats and I cant hold back from grinning from ear to ear. My eyes are darting all over –whats new and what should I have today?
But some things are still hit or miss. I have tried a mini tart before and it was dry. The tiny macarons weren’t memorable. Now the shots are different story! They are Oh so good! You cant go wrong with panna cotta. Plus, you can return the plastic containers to the counter for re-​use/​recycling. Yes, do try a marshmallow. They are fresh as can be and you know you want to. They are a dollar per two-​bite marshmallow but well worth it. The mango one’s flavor really comes through. Theres also a choco-​rosemary one that I was iffy on but my friend got anyway and didnt enjoy it. Ha. I cant wait for it to get warmer so I can try out some of their frozen treats!
There are cute but pricey items around the store to look at as well. Three small tables for two on one side and a larger table for a group on the other. And if you notice to the right of the register, there should be a stack of small booklets outlining their seasonal treats.

Full Disclosure — this review is only based on the treats. I have not been to the shop, someone brought the desserts back with them on a trip to NYC.
With that said — they are delightful! lol. The chocolate crunchy macaroon was delightful along with the pistachio one. Would it be ok if i ate the whole box?

Cute shop/​bakery with very cute mini desserts. I tend to prefer mousse/​parfait/​creamy desserts as opposed to pastries and there was an appealing selection here.
The fruit curds layered with crème fraîche were great and come in tiny plastic glasses (with lids if you want them to go). Mini panna cottas with sophisticated flavors like coconut topped with hibiscus gelee and goat cheese topped with blood orange. Intricate chocolate banana parfaits with marshmallow crème and spiced rum sauce. Also a nice selection of tarts and mini ice creams. My favorites were the fruit curds while my friends raved about the coconut yum balls.
You can purchase the mini desserts in boxes to take home and I think these would make excellent petit fours for the same price or actually less than buying generic square cake ones at Wholefoods for example.
The pricing doesn’t make sense to me; the ‘Jewels’ (mini panna cottas) for example are $ 2 each or 6 for $ 16.50… shouldn’t there be a discount when you buy in bulk or at least not jack up the price? Unless the gift packaging is highly elaborate with hand folded origami or something (doubtful).
Unfortunately they had stopped certain machines so no hot chocolate, coffee, or other warm drinks when I was there. Opted for the lemonade with wild honey instead; nice and refreshing. There’s only a few small tables as the ambiance is mostly store; I found the lighting to be overly bright but like the store/​bakery combo factor.

What an adorable little place that I found right near my apartment one day!
I stopped in because
1. I was hungry
2. It was adorable
3. There were other people there
-
After looking around the little store I was mesmerized by the tarts but opted for a ice cream sandwich.
What a GREAT choice. Its so delish. I think Im going to have to go back soon for another. $ 4.25 is a little steep for the tiny ice cream but when I think about it ‘~~ I want One …

(Another review from my participation in the 3÷28÷10 Brownie Crawl, via NYC Food Crawl.)
My life was not complete until I tried a Pomegranate Jewel. I just learned this.
After consuming an innumerable amount of brownie bites, I needed a break. I needed something fruity to counteract the chocolaty-​ness invading my system. After carefully perusing all that the display case had to offer, I settled upon the Pomegranate Jewel: Pomegranate gelée and coconut panna cotta, with three little Pomegranate seeds placed on the top. I took one bite and was saying, «Oooooh my gaaaaawd… oooooh my GAAAAAAWD…» as I walked up 9^th Avenue. I was in my own little world!
My fellow Crawlers also partook in treats from here, such as homemade marshmallows, truffles, and their mini Pine Nut Tart. All treats were consumed and met with unanimous approval.
Three Tarts, keep going what you do! Don’t ever change… unless you change by making MORE fabulous things! Then, by all means…
