The Best Strawberry Tart in Sandy Springs

Strawberry Tart at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Sandy Springs

Strawberries and nothing else on top, set over vanilla crème on a buttery tart shell. Where the mixed fruit tart is a spread of everything, this one commits to a single fruit and lives or dies by it.

Why ours is worth the trip

A tart this plain has nowhere to hide. It is strawberries, crème and pastry, and all three have to be right on the day — there is no third element to cover for a dull berry.

An espresso cuts through it better than a milk drink does.

Drive

Measured from
Sandy Springs City Hall

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 strawberry 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.

Distance and time measured from Sandy Springs City Hall with OpenStreetMap routing. Free-flow, so treat it as a clear-run figure rather than a promise at 8am.
