Tart Baking Co
192 Main St, Northampton, MA
Crema's Take
“This Northampton spot is a pastry lover's paradise, with genuinely excellent almond croissants that keep people coming back and espresso drinks that hold their own—just know that quality comes at a price. The vibe is straightforward and efficient, perfect for grabbing a cappuccino and a butter-laminated treat on your way, though the food offerings can be a bit hit-or-miss beyond the baked goods.”

While the drinks are pretty good, and the croissants even better I’ve had some difficulty rationalizing the price of the items I buy. Today I got an almond croissant and a medium dirty chai. They upcharge the prices for everything. Extra for almond milk, extra for espresso, which made my drink almost 8 dollars altogether it was 15. The barista didn’t do any latte art which was disappointing. And there’s often no seating available. While the customer service is decent I don’t think it’s worth the price.
I love Tart! They (still) have the best almond croissants, among other pastries. Every coffee drink I’ve tried there has been delicious. The service is always friendly too!
I was looking forward to the Gingerbread Mini Bundt Cake and the peanut butter cookie. The Gingerbread Mini Bundt Cake was super dry, disappointing because the flavor was really good and I liked the presentation. I had one bite and I got rid of it 😕 The peanut butter cookie had whole peanuts in it which I don't really care for but I love peanut butter cookies so I wanted to give it a try - that is to my personal taste, but it was pretty bland overall and that is the reason for the low rating. My friend sent me a picture of what it is she ordered and she is very happy with her tart. She ordered the Hazelnut tart and said it was really good.
We always love to discover new, wonderful patisseries when we travel. Tart Baking Co is delightful! They have delicious strong coffee! We loved our cappuccinos! ☕️ the croissants 🥐 were great! They have amazing Pain Au Raisin and Monkey Bread 🍞 The sandwiches looked delicious! Service was quick, polite and laid back. Very cool vibe! Only a few tables and no dedicated parking. Street parking was easy and you can use an app to pay. No bathroom on premises. Delightful bakery!
I like the drinks from Tart. I have come here many times for coffee. Recently I have started to try the food and pastries. I was a bit disappointed by the ham and cheese sandwich. It didn’t look appetizing and it was cold. The server also forgot about my order and I had to remind them. I did like the croissant, though. The space is small and there is no seating.
