86 Kenmare Street, Nolita
I ventured to the Village Tart one evening with a friend. I had a light dinner in anticipation of the cupcakes I was going to have for dessert. My friend and I had two cupcakes: the stracciatella cupcake and the nutella cupcake (by the way, you mention nutella and I automatically burst into cupcake happiness). The stracciatella cupcake was basically a vanilla cupcake topped with stiff vanilla frosting on top with chocolate chunks. The texture wasn’t the best but it still tasted pretty good. The nutella cupcake was a chocolate cake with nutella frosting and chocolate syrup drizzled on top. The syrup tasted like it came straight out of a Hershey’s syrup bottle and it was too overpowering, it took away concentration from the rest of the cupcake. The cupcakes were a good size and cost $3.25. I’m kind of indifferent about The Village Tart. I wouldn’t intentionally go back but if I happen to be there, I would definitely have a cupcake…or two.
peace, love, and cupcakes
