New Business in the Community

I put this new cafe in my restaurant guide based on rave reviews from some friends of mine, but you know, dear Reader, that I do try to experience the fruits of our corner of the city myself at every opportunity. Buttertart: coffee & treats. Yum. You have to go there. Located in Sagamore Park, a nifty little neighborhood wedged between Eagle Rock and Glendale, it's named after its signature dish, "a Canadian treat of a soft pastry shell filled with a savoury butter and sugar filling."  They have the regular kind plus a bacon Buttertart. I can't even imagine how much cholesterol that might contain. If the plain one is any indication, you will fall down gasping with your heart attack in complete bliss.

Here's their contact info which I obtained from their website, www.myButtertart.com:

Los Angeles, CA 90065

Besides serving superb treats, sandwiches and coffee, Buttertart plans to decorate with local art, helping local artists be seen and hopefully be paid:

On Friday, Feb 13th, Butter Tart Presents... Fill in the Blank Gallery opens its doors & fills its blank walls with an inaugural group art show curated by Frank Ryan. What a better way to spend your Friday the 13th of February & Valentine's Day Eve? Next door, Butter Tart Cafe will be open during the show for your thirst & snacking desires. The show goes from 7pm - 10pm, then we mosey on over to Verdugo Bar to continue the freaky activities.
