Sticky Little Caramel Walnut Tarts
From Petite Patisserie, Potrero Hill, San Francisco
My love for Petite Patisserie, the little organic bakeshop that opened on 18th Street almost six months ago, grows stronger with every visit. The walnut tart pictured above, just seconds before I gobbled it up, every last crumb, really has me hooked right now. The pastry is tender and so buttery, I could happily eat it with no filling present at all, but those sticky, gooey, toffeeish walnuts are the real draw. This patisserie is such a danger to my diet, I've almost considered moving to a different 'hood City State Country. Next time you are in Potrero, don't miss out on Petite. You'll be charmed.

Little tarts like the one above cost $4.50 each
Petite Patisserie: 1415 Eighteenth Street, Potrero Hill, San Francisco CA 94107
I have made more than three visits to Petite Patisserie.

It's not too good to eat, Tim - you deserve one - you know you do.
velentina - it is a little more gooey than crunchy - but that doesnt make it any less good I assure you.
