We were looking for a cafe to get some work done 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️ and spotted Leckerbaer across the street. Peeking in to take a look, we were greeted by neatly arranged rows of their adorable bite-sized småkagers, danish butter cookies, and tarts. Having just had lunch we settled on their 𝙇𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙡 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙮 𝙏𝙖𝙧𝙩 ($8.50) 🍋🍂 as recommended by the friendly staff at the cafe.

This was a smol, inconspicuous but SO beautiful pastry. To describe, it was a torched meringue 🍦 piped atop a buttery tart filled with lemon curd. The meringue carried subtle notes of earl grey and had us contemplating whether this was what clouds ☁️☁️ were made of, however, it was the lemon that brought its sour punch 👊 in your face. Somehow, this totally worked even though the balance of flavours was wayyy off. Perhaps the big bully lemon playfully made the tart less jelat, and kept us reaching for more of that sour goodness 🤤🤤

We wanted a non-caffeinated drink and settled for their 𝙃𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙇𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙚 ($6.50) 🌸🍋🍺 (allegedly their most popular lemonade). Evidently we were feeling very acidic that day HAHA. Though refreshing and palette-cleansing (with more lemon?) we’re not tooo sure if the ‘hibiscus’ and ‘blackberry’ part rlly came through. A nice drink nonetheless!

Leckerbaer is a simple yet luscious cafe 💙💙 that makes you feel like you just stepped into the right place to spend your slow weekday afternoon. Though a little pricey for the portion size, we particularly enjoyed our time here and the tart was really good! Do go down to experience the vibes for yourself hehe 🫶🫶
