As I've recently made changes to my diet for health reasons, I have of course been craving all of the things I am no longer able to enjoy. Enter Tu-lu's bakery, an adorable new East Village spot featuring gluten-free, vegan, and even agave-sweetened (for those who must avoid beloved sugar, as well) desserts that, in this glutton's mind, taste just as amazing as the real thing!
the agave-sweetened brownie (even the edges were moist and chocolately!)
the ginger-molasses cookie (cakey, buttery, more molassas than ginger - perfect!)
Thank goodness, Miel agreed to venture out with me in the monsoon this past weekend to satisfy my deprived sweet tooth, and though I am very picky with desserts (the cake must be the MOST moist it can be! the icing sweet enough but not too sweet! and never grainy!), and I have never EVER met a dessert that I called "too rich", I can honestly say that Tu-lu's (recently changed from Tully's) does a fabulous job of creating sweet treats (their menu also features sandwiches and other savory items) that everyone can enjoy. Even if you're not gluten-free, I highly recommend you try something from this adorable little shop next time you're in the EV.
