| - Since the last review, I have discovered vanilla macaroons. Never thought they would be colored blue and never thought to ask for them. I assumed since I did not see the pale white yumminess that is vanilla, they were always out every time I went (I usually get there late in the afternoon.) Now it is a half dozen every single visit. They are light and creamy but at the same time have a delicate crunch. I'm salivating thinking about them.
Also, I never did update about the brioche and apple chaussons. The brioche was pretty standard for a French bakery. The apple chaussons are excellent. These are also a must buy every visit. The pastry is firm, buttery and glazed with a perfect sugar crust. The apples are not too sweet and have a pleasant texture. Not cooked down too much but not too firm either.
My mom liked the chocolate eclair I got for her, but she said it was a bit too sweet. Since then I have also gotten her a strawberry tart which she said was fabulous, but I think the winner was the apple tart. Upon tasting it, she said, "Anytime you go back you can get me another one of these." I got a blueberry tart for my bf (which he shared) and I have to say it was delightful. The fruit was soft but not squishy and the pastry was buttery and flaky with not a single bit of sogginess.
Now I love chocolate, but the chocolate truffle cake is definitely for chocolate fanatics or very patient people who can stand to eat something a couple bites at a time. It was very rich, very chocolaty and very hard to finish. The Black Forest was far tastier in my opinion. Just the right amount of chocolate and a nice cherry flavor. However, the fraiser cake is still my favorite.
Still haven't tried any of the savory selections except for the quiche. I will have to remedy that soon as the ham and cheese croissant in one of the other Yelpers pictures keeps beckoning to me.
