Pop Tarts, Galettes & Scones: Our French Take on Weekend Cravings
There is a certain magic that happens in the kitchen at Tulla Patisserie & Cafe as the week winds down. The mixer slows to a gentle hum, the scent of butter—always high-quality, always European-style—fills the air, and we begin the ritual of creating something a little extra special for those who choose to spend their weekends with us.
As a homemade French patisserie, we believe in the beauty of imperfection, the richness of tradition, and the joy of seasonal flavors. This weekend, our display case is getting a refresh that balances playful nostalgia with rustic refinement.
If you are stopping by for your morning espresso or an afternoon indulgence, here are the three limited-edition treats you won’t want to miss:
🍓 The Strawberry Pop Tart
Let’s be honest: a pop tart is a nostalgic comfort. But at Tulla, we decided to give this classic a grande école upgrade.
Forget the foil wrapper. Ours is a golden, all-butter puff pastry that shatters delicately at first bite. Inside, we’ve folded a house-made strawberry jam—slowly simmered until it’s intensely flavorful but not overly sweet. To finish, we drizzle it with a touch of vanilla bean glaze and a sprinkle of rose-colored sugar. It is the pastry that tastes like childhood, but with the sophistication of a French patisserie.
🥧 Strawberry Rhubarb Galette
If the pop tart is for the playful side of your palate, the Strawberry Rhubarb Galette is for the purist.
There is something so honest about a galette. It is a rustic, free-form tart that doesn’t rely on a perfect mold; it relies on quality. We roll our signature pâte brisée by hand, creating a sturdy yet tender vessel for the bright, tangy marriage of rhubarb and sweet strawberries. A hint of orange zest lifts the fruit filling, while the edges of the pastry turn a deep, caramelized gold. Served slightly warmed, this is the taste of a perfect spring weekend—balanced, a little tart, and utterly elegant.
💙 Blueberry Scones
Sometimes, the simplest things are the hardest to perfect. We believe we’ve perfected the scone.
Our Blueberry Scones are not the dry, crumbly rocks you might have encountered elsewhere. True to French technique, we use cold, grated butter to create a texture that is flaky on the outside and impossibly tender on the inside. We fold in wild blueberries—plump and juicy—so that every bite bursts with bright, jammy flavor. Whether you enjoy it plain, or slathered with our house-made lemon curd or clotted cream, it is the ideal companion to a slow morning and a hot latte.
Come see us this weekend.
Whether you are grabbing a pastry to go for a hike, or settling in for a long, leisurely cafe visit, we can’t wait to share these specials with you.
