Summer is here!

We’re entering our second summer season at little t, and it’s time to update our menus!

Berries feature prominently this year. Sweet Hood strawberries are hanging around in the form of our housemade strawberry freezer jam (available with our “Continental”…a short skinny baguette with jam and european-style creamery butter). And we’re currently bringing in the first crop of blueberries and raspberries. Marionberries will soon follow. Try some with our own almond granola, or in one of our scones, muffins, fresh pastry cream tarts, or turnovers…while they last!

Fresh summer produce is also making its way onto our sandwiches and salads…our favorite farm, Gathering Together, brings us its amazing mix of tender lettuces, as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, and more as the season progresses. Try one of our tomato tarts in italian puff pastry, available with a side salad of GTF greens, for lunch.

Also here or coming soon: cherries, apricots & peaches….yum!

BLt is back!

BLT

Our most popular sandwich is back on the menu here at little t, now that tomato season is finally here. Our version of the classic BLT includes local tomatoes and greens from Gathering Together Farm, several strips of thick crispy bacon and our own housemade aioli (with just a hint of garlic). What really makes this sandwich special is the bread…two thick slabs of our sally lunn bread, a tender, rich, cakelike bread that’s buttery and just a little sweet.

BLT is here to stay as long as fresh tomatoes are available. Come try one!
