Lest pastry aficionados fear that Tulie is a twisted spelling of the thin French cookie called a tuile, you should know that Tulie is named for a cat, and that owner/selftaught pastry wizard Leslie Seggar knows exactly what’s she’s doing—on every level, from croissants to hot pressed sandwiches. Leslie’s gourmet pastries feature only the finest ingredients, and the treats are enhanced by the store’s physical layout, right down to communal tables that lend the sleek environment a warm, inviting quality. From housemade quiche with Gruyère, Swiss chard and thyme to croissants that conjure a picturesque Paris, Tulie has an eye for detail and a palate for the finer things in life.
