"I didn't know what I wanted it to be," Holly Smith says of Tres Jolie, which she opened in a Littleton storefront in the mid-2000s. "So this is what I ended up with." The resulting "this" is one part boutique that sells linens, imported candies, cookbooks, aprons, lacy lingerie, lotion, scented candles and dozens of other pretty things, and one part cafe that serves up sandwiches, salads and excellent house-baked goods for lunch and tea service, paired with over 150 varieties of tea and a list of champagne cocktails. The concept adds up to an ideal spot for a ladies' lunch -- and the food is good enough that dudes should get over their aversion to all things pink, purple and sparkly and eat here, too.
