| - Decided to try this cute little Patisserie on Toronto Macaron day at the Yonge and Lawrence location! I love the interior as it is very chic and minimalistic. Outside there is a macaron tree on display which I thought was pretty cute as well. Butter Avenue offers many interesting unique flavours including Farmer's market flavours, Candy Shop flavours, as well as Coffee & Tea House flavours. There is a small little white sheet of paper as well that they give you which tells you all the flavours that they have to offer. The colourful pretty little macarons are all neatly presented in their glass display. I spent a lot of time deciding what to get, but in the end I decided to try some of the Farmer's market flavours including Tomatoe Brie, Lemon Poppy Seed, Guava Plum, as well as the Candy Shop flavours which include Amaretto Sour, and Mont Blanc (chestnut, chocolate, vanilla). As for the Tea House flavour, I decided to try Caramel Macchiato.
Every macaron tasted very delicious. When you bite into it the outer shell is somewhat crisp and the middle part is nice and moist, soft, delicate, and just chewy enough with a nice cream filling.
For the Farmer's Market flavour such as Tomatoe Brie I was actually expecting a somewhat unique sweet/salty tomatoey taste. But it was still mainly sweet.
In terms of presentation, I really liked the Lemon Poppy Seed one because one, it is made with my favourite colour which is yellow and has polka dots on it, and it tasted great. I also liked the macarons that are not only single coloured but double coloured as well (ie: 2 different colours per macaron). It was a tough choice to decide which flavours to try.
It's a nice place to come on any afternoon to enjoy your tea and some macarons. Will recommend this place to anyone who has a sweet tooth and a love for cute little sweets
