| - Went to Butter today to try out their macarons. Why would anybody go there otherwise right?
I've read everybody's reviews for this place and was very eager to try it out for myself. I'd have to say, I'm more than just pleasantly surprised if not blown away with my experience. Although I'm a macaron noob, I have tried macarons and Reulo's and La Bambouche. In comparison I'd have to say Butter's macarons were the best.
The ones at Ruelo cannot hold its shape and deflate/crumble completely after the first bite. Although I have the admit, the flavours were okay. The ones at La Bambouche were smaller, the shell was not crispy enough, and the filling was very sweet. With everybody's positive reviews there, maybe mine was just a bad luck fluke.
The ones at Butter however, were slightly bigger, slightly cheaper (I'm sure everybody would want a deal in this economy), and majorly on-point with its texture and flavour. With my first bite into the crisp shell, hearing the crack, and seeing the shell slightly break away, I think I almost had a food orgasm. I could taste all the flavours it says it contains, with some having real fruit pieces as filling (pistachio cherry).
As a side note, their cappuccino was amazing. Awesome microfoam, perfect temperature, and great taste. The cute little latte art was the cherry on top though. No matter how hard I try, my microfoam was never as good as his, and my art looks like swiggly lines of nothing. All-in-all, I think this place will be my new coffee joint now. Love it!
