What a welcome reprieve from an exhausting morning was this little slice of Parisian paradise. Pierre creates the most exquisite pastries I've seen yet in Madison. This is reflected in the price point, so be prepared for that. I was drooling over the citrus tart, but couldn't quite cough up $7 for a tiny treat. I opted for the blood orange cake, a more affordable $4.50 per slice, and it was simply superb. Flawless in flavor and design and execution. What a treat! I took it over to enjoy at the counter seating area at Madison Sourdough, as they are a combined business. I preferred to order a drip coffee over a French Press, which is all that they serve in the patisserie. I see me coming back here again and again for a tiny oasis of pure delight on those days when I need a real treat. LOVE.
