| - Jean-Marc's was on my to-try list for forever and a day. I've read the articles on it and the amazing sweet treats they sell. I have read the rave reviews here on Yelp. It was time. It was time to travel to Millvale, I was on my way. Driving into Millvale, my mind was on the bakery - anticipating what I would see and contemplating what I would choose. I was able to get a parking spot catty-corner from the blue storefront. On this rainy morning, my excitement was hardly containable. I walked into the little unassuming bakery greeted by the blissful aromas of baking patries and a wonderfully friendly staff. She was great, helpful and friendly, not rushing me while I was trying to decide what masterpieces I would choose. Thankfully they were not busy on my first trip in as now when I go back I can make faster choices. This is one of those places, little things come in small packages. The bakery is tiny but this just proves that 1. Good things do come in small packages and 2. You don't have to be a huge bakery to be awesome!
I got a variety of goodies to try. I got a dozen of macaroons. I was not a macaroon fan until recent years. I was not sure what they would be like and I think the colors threw me off a bit. These macaroons are NOT to be missed! If you are ever anywhere near Millvale, GO! These macaroons are oh so worth it. I cannot pick a favorite. They are all phenomenal! No lie, no exaggeration! I got espresso, lemon, pistacio, salted caramel, chocolate, vanilla, lavendar poppy, peanut butter n jelly, & Nutella. These little jems have loads of flavor and are so light and fluffy. Even the hubby raved about them and he is not a macaroon fan, at all. I also got some slices of cake which included lemon raspberry, cappucino tiramisu, chocolate mousse, & burnt almond. The cakes are amazing as well, buttery and smooth but not at all heavy. The burnt almond was the best I have ever had! I got the hubby chocolate croissants which he absolutely loved noting they may be the best he has had, ever! All of the goodies were just scrumptious! Delectable! Yum! I am not sure why I waited so long to try this place but I will certainly go back soon!
