Tart and Tangy

Tart’s Treats

Originally uploaded by tb222

While on my way to have some lunch at Pok Pok, I noticed that the spaces being remodeled around SE Division & 22nd had been finished, and there was a new sign hanging that said “Tart.” The only other part I saw while riding by was “Frozen Custard,” and having only eaten a piece of fruit for breakfast and starving, I vowed to stop in on my way back to work. And thank goodness I did.

You see, I love frozen desserts. Of ANY kind. And their custard is damn good. The owner promptly brought out samples of all of their flavors (chocolate & vanilla custard, plus green tea and “tart” fro-yo), and what a great hostess she was. She told us that she went to NYC a year ago, and had frozen custard every single day she was there, then came back to Portland missing it. A few scribbles on a notepad later, and here she is.

I was undecided on a flavor/topping combo, so she suggested Tart with shredded coconut, blackberries and a squeeze of honey. Yum!

I can see this will be a place I frequent often.
