| - While this little French patisseries is not a place I visit often, each time I go I wonder "why not?" Today's visit was for the free macaron in honor of Free Macaron Day. While waiting in line, you can watch the pastry chefs at work in the back, and its a truly unique experience. The sample of the day was the pecan pie macaron and it did not disappoint. The other pastries are so perfect and beautiful they almost look fake. True works of art and delicious. The desserts here taste regal, not heavy. After trying to narrow down my selection, I chose the Creamy Pear Cheesecake it was so very good. Light, sweet, but not too sweet, and the poached pear inside the gorgeous dome was unique. If you are like me and need that "little something sweet" each day, and you happen to be passing by Gaby Et Jules, it's definitely worth going inside! The pastries are a little pricey...my pear cheesecake was around $6, but again, the experience of this little shop reminds me that "you get what you pay for." Grab a pastry or a macaron (or six) and experience a little bit of Paris in Pittsburgh!
