| - Overall, this place is very good and I will definitely return to try more.
The store is beautiful and clean, and the pastries behind the case all look amazing! They have a huge variety of different flavored macaroons, and the staff is incredibly friendly and ready to help answer any questions you might have.
I came here to pick up a pastry to surprise my fiance, but of course I couldn't leave without at least trying the macaroons. They're on the pricey side, so I decided to try three: lavender, raspberry, and almond. The lavender macaroon was very good. The flavor was okay but the macaroon itself was perfect. The inside was soft and creamy. The outside had a nice bite. My favorite, the almond one, was also perfect and the flavor was wonderful. The raspberry one missed the mark on consistency. It was sort of chewy and sticky, which isn't ideal for a macaroon. Hopefully this is an anomaly because the other macaroons were delicious.
As for the pastries, they were great. Not the best pastries I've had, but great nevertheless. My fiance's chocolate one was definitely a hit. I had the L'Opera one and the coffee flavor in the pastry was outstanding.
Definitely worth stopping in and trying a few flavors. I know I'll be back for the raspberry pastry over cream filling -- It was difficult NOT to buy it this time around!
