| - I'm sure this place has fantastic pastries and varieties on a normal day, but today wasn't one of those days unfortunately.
I had never tried French Macarons but really wanted to find a place that had great reviews on them...So, naturally I found Napoleon Bakery on Yelp and decided I'd finally give it a try. I walked in....nothing really spectacular, pretty bare actually but I never judge a place by that stuff, for me it's all about the goodies. It was very clean and neat though.
The girl up front was pleasant and kind so, thumbs up for customer service. I didn't see any Macarons in the case (those didn't have much variety, but I figured it was because it was 8:30 in the morning, maybe it was too early). I assumed they were out so I ordered a caramel coffee dobosh (spelling??). The Dobosh was extremely soggy, and the cream had a curdled texture. The caramel on top was so sweet, my jaw clenched shut. My opinion = NOT appealing whatsoever, I took that one bit and threw it out.
I asked about Macarons and she said they have them flash frozen in the back but are out of 7 flavors. I said I'll take a variety of 6. The Macarons were colorful but the smallest little cookies I had ever seen for being almost $2.00 each! Total order came out to just under $16.00!!!! Too expensive, too small, too "frozen" food taste. I was disappointed all day. Not interested in Macarons anymore, and I probably won't be going back to Napoleon Bakery either unfortunately...No bang for the (expensive) buck.
