At Bosie Tea Parlor, afternoon tea is the draw, but you're welcome to also stop in just for housemade pastries and macarons to-go. Keep an eye out for the Matcha Eclair, the delicately crisp pate a choux filled with a luxurious, supple matcha cream. There's an equally intense matcha fondant to top. As a general rule of thumb, any dessert infused or scented with tea at Bosie is a solid bet, including their Darjeeling Tart, a heady and silky affair topped in caramelized almond slices and nestled tight in a thin and buttery tart shell. It's like drinking a potent cup of darjeeling tea in pastry form.
