If a snack lists “Pie” as an ingredient, I’m sold. But Cecel Cafe’s apple tartin stands at a particularly delicious intersection between apple pie, French crepe, Beard Papa cream puff, and ice cream cone. This newly-opened shop seats exactly three and serves chilled, custard-infused crepes wrapped around ingredients ranging from chocolate-dipped banana to red bean. The small size
($4.00) delivers exactly eight bites and is meant to be gradually unwrapped while distractedly ambling and dribbling cold caramel sauce. The apple tartin has a yummy pie crust payoff at the bottom, but the caramel pina colada, with pineapple and shaved coconut, might be my new favorite summer dessert. An extra 75 cents will get you ice cream on top.
