| - Next to a lake Margueritte (sp?).
Beautiful place to stroll.
We stopped by after strolling the lake.
I wanted macarons and mango mousse
There were no greeters.
I stuck my head into the lounge, and asked where the bakery was.
They pointed me in the correct direction.
Bakery was empty Sunday 3:15 PM.
After wandering around a bit, looking for someone to help us,
We found someone and asked him if they had the mango mousse cake.
He told us to call ahead in the mornings and the baker will make it fresh for us.
I ordered a few macarons to go.
They were tiny and 2.75 each.
I liked the vanilla macaron the best,
but personally I like the Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co's macarons better.
(In Seattle, WA)
but this isn't Seattle.
The person that checked us out kind of struggled with the system.
He explained how its a new business and they're not fully staffed,
and it seemed like the restaurant software wasn't the most user-friendly.
Jake (?) the chef spoke French fluently and was very kind to us.
He gave us a business card and told us exactly how the bakery works,
and recommended the almond croissant, chocolate and coffee eclairs when they're fresh.
I don't think I'll dine in but I may stop by the bakery again after calling.
I go stroll the lake for the scenery.
I'd rather pack my meals from home and have a picnic by the lakeside
and get deserts to go, but thats just me, a savvy student on a budget.
After getting those macarons, I won't be getting my mani/ pedi this month.
