The Rising Tart is a shop in Kharam Dzu that sells food and specializes in baked goods. It is located two east of the statue on Krodera Street in a bright-blue wooden shop. It doesn't actually sell tarts, despite its name.

The proprietor is a baker Grotelek. He took over for a halfling in Koaratos, 5102.
[The Rising Tart] Room: 3003049
A fine-grained wood counter separates the ordering area from the display and kitchen area. A layer of flour seems to cover the entire kitchen except for the display and counter, which are meticulously clean. A marble cutting board stands ready for use next to the display case, while pots of steaming coffee resting on grates above a wood fire flank the other side. Large canvas bags of coffee beans slump against walls behind the counter. You also see the baker Grotelek and a sign hanging above the counter.
Obvious exits: out
a sign hanging above the counter
In the Common language, it reads:
Fresh food to ORDER!
