Neighborhood Gem: The Happy Tart

Last week I told you about a new neighborhood favorite, Stomping Ground in Del Ray, Alexandria. Right next door is a fantastic gluten-free patisserie - The Happy Tart. Oh boy! It's a very happy place! We try to eat gluten-free in our house the majority of the time and we have a number dear friends for whom gluten is a definite no, no. So to have a great gluten-free bakery 10 minutes from home is brilliant.

Petite cakes, macroons, cupcakes, cake pops and cookies all get The Happy Tart treatment. They also make stunning wedding and special occasion cakes that will keep all your guests happy. The thing is their baking doesn't taste gluten-free ... I mean it doesn't taste synthetic or bland! It tastes yummie! Couple this with friendly, knowledgeable staff and you're on to a winner. 

Gluten-free or not, this neighborhood gem is SO worth the visit!
