boule (mini review)

Walking into this new pastry shop on La Cienega was akin to walking into a high end fashion store. Something I dont do to often, but I've seen enough to know that when there is an abundance of space between each item, the price will reflect that space. Boule is no exception to that rule. Croissants, spaced so evenly in their beautiful presentation behind glass, were light, crispy on the edges, buttery, tasty, small and $3.25. A selection of homemade gelatos and other icey concoctions looked delicious and will definately be eaten by me at some point.
I ordered 3 little cake/tarts for a dinner party. All of which were beautiful, delicious, small, and expensive. I don't have a problem with the expense if the deliciousness matches it, and at Boule the deliciousness is on par with the expensiveness. Meyers Lemon Tart was a big hit. Crust was buttery and crispy, the lemon filling was tart, but not too tart, creamy, but not too creamy, just right goodness. The frommage blanc cheese cake was also delicious. Several commented on it tasting like a carrot cake. I think that may have been from the cinammon used in the crust?? Last but not least was a semi-sphere of chocolaty mouse goodness. I wish I could remember the exact description that Boule used for it because I think it was perfect.

Picture promised after next visit.
