  • Note that they're offering a 10% discount for people who post yelp reviews. It is unfortunate that their promotion may be causing a larger amount of 5 star reviews that one would normally see. The sign near the register just says "yelp us" but I imagine it would be awkward for someone to leave a low star review and then show it to get 10% off their next order. I did not take part in the promotional offer. Pondered whether to give this place a 3 or 4. Parking can be nonexistent though they have one reserved space right in front of their shop. I tried a vanilla macaron and eclair. The white macaron was light, soft, and had a slight chew. It was MUCH smaller (maybe the size of an Oreo?) than French Grocery's but also much less tough/chewy (FG's was very cold though, so perhaps that was the issue). It wasn't as melt-in-your-mouth as Essence Bakery's tiny variety pack macarons I had before, perhaps because it came right out of the refrigerated case. The tiny little eclair's chocolate frosting/ganache swirl was very chilled, and so I didn't get the full flavor from it. The eclair had a nice light and flakey texture, and the custard filling was excellent. Both items were $2 for about two to three bites a piece. It's not incredibly expensive, but it also is solidly a "tiny indulgence" that feels more appropriate as a a cute gift or a treat plucked off a shiny tray at a party, as opposed to a nice after-dinner dessert. I suppose I am more accustomed to the large "this can last me two days" pastry from somewhere like Urban Cookies or AJ's. It doesn't exactly feel like a "good value" when the items are so tiny, but you do get to try several items. The cashier/worker was friendly, though she had to ask someone who I assume was the baker what the eclair filling was. Still, pleasant people and pleasant atmosphere! I feel the packaging and branding could use some work for the prices they're charging. Their plain white paper and brown cardboard packaging could look a lot more marketable with a nice large store logo sticker on it, for example.
