The Best Lemon Meringue Tart in Sandy Springs
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.

The easy one to remember, because it is essentially a single road. Mount Vernon Highway becomes Mount Vernon Road and carries 4.9 of the 5.2 miles, so there's no interstate involved and not much to get wrong. Measured from Sandy Springs City Hall it comes out around 11 minutes on a clear run — one podcast episode, near enough.
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 Sandy Springs and it is bagged and waiting at the end of the 11-minute drive. Come early if you can — the case is fullest in the morning.
