The Best Lemon Meringue Tart in Brookhaven
Bright, tangy lemon curd under a swirl of torched, toasty meringue on a buttery European crust, the perfect balance of sharp and sweet.
Why ours is worth the trip
Real lemon curd in a crisp, buttery pastry shell. It is the sharpest thing in the case, which makes it the one to order on a day when everything else on the counter is sweet.
A natural match for an espresso or a pot of hot tea. If you need it to feed a table rather than a person, the same thing exists as a whole lemon meringue cake, made to order — call ahead.
Easy to reach from Brookhaven

The longest of the three runs, and the one worth a little planning. From Brookhaven City Hall on Peachtree Road it's about 7.9 miles: up onto Peachtree Boulevard, then west across Tilly Mill Road, which lands near 15 minutes when the road is clear. Far enough that ordering before you set off genuinely changes the trip rather than saving you thirty seconds.
The lemon meringue tart comes out of the pastry case rather than the kitchen, so it is ready before you are. Order as you leave Brookhaven and it is bagged and waiting at the end of the 15-minute drive. Come early if you can — the case is fullest in the morning.
