La Tarte
6742 W Wells St, Wauwatosa, WI
Crema's Take
“This intimate Wauwatosa bakery punches well above its weight with exceptional made-from-scratch pastries like their renowned key lime pie and carrot cake, alongside surprisingly excellent savory options like their cheddar cheese English muffins and pizza crusts. La Tarte strikes that rare balance of being both a serious destination for house-made treats and a welcoming spot to linger with a carefully curated beverage menu, though you'll want to ask what's fresh since some items are baked to order. The cozy, music-filled space feels like a genuine neighborhood gem where the quality of each bite justifies the trip, even if the service can be hit-or-miss.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Picked up a lemon bar and a key lime bar from the cold case. Tasted like it had been in the fridge for several days, gross to be honest. Some baking soda in the cold case would do wonders to solve this, as it has been a go to solution for generations in my family. Clearly these…
We LOVE La Tarte. Everything there is absolutely perfect, the music, the huge variety of iced and hot beverages, the fantastic food (Their cheddar cheese English muffin is unbelievable), and the kind, attentive service given by the owner, as well as her employees. They're…
