Lets face it, cupcakes 15 minutes of fame is fast approaching. We truly need a new bite size dessert to triumph, and that my friends is the macaron. I have been going to west coast cities like San Fran, Los Angeles and many others and they have been serving macarons for the past few years. Thankfully now more local places that are starting to make them. For people who think cupcakes are pricey, you might want to skip macarons altogther because they are basically the same price and resemble the size of a 2 bite brownie
I have been loyal to Nadege however i have recently switched to Team MoRoCo. I came here the other day and sampled the pistachio and the salted caramel. The caramel was excellent, it had that robust flavour without tasting burnt. Plus it had the crisp shell, but remained chewy on the inside. The pistachio had a great flavour. Some flavours of macarons you sample may be olive oil or rose, and they are very subtle, but you could truly taste the flavours here. The reason i docked MoRoCo one star was because the filling in the pistachio was a very unpleasant shade of green. Also the filling needs to be tighter because the shells slipped off almost instantly after being bagged, which btw they should really use boxes for the price. Overall great shop, i cannot wait to go back in the summer and use their patio.
