| - I must say that this place was nothing like I expected when I read that we finally had an authentic Parisian patisserie in the Valley, owned by two REAL PARISIANS! I envisioned a warm, casual shop with fresh croissants, danishes, cakes, etc. like the places I experienced in Paris. Needless to say my expectations were way off - I should have been thinking less mom-and-pop Paris bake-shop and more Payard Patisserie, with delicate pastry works of art in a stark, hip space. We shared two desserts, a blueberry something-or-other and a lemon tart, and both were fantastic! So while it's a little more upscale 8th Arrondissement than casual 5th, it's still authentic Paris in Scottsdale, and who doesn't love that?!
