I heard about this place from Jessie B (thanks again) - all she had to say was "Nutella macarons"...two of my top favorite things. Random fact: peridot is August's birthstone...my birthstone. I was meant to be here on my birth month...destiny!
The shop is so cute with a cabinet full of colorful cake stands...pretty chandelier, modern furniture and the pretty desserts. I was ready to sink my sweet tooth into one of those Nutella macarons so I marched to the counter only to find out they didn't have them. Goodbye hopes and dreams! My heart sank...why let me down on my birth month??? I was so perky when we first walked in then all of a sudden, my mood changed and my world crumbled.
I set my focus on the next best thing: Nutella cupcake. The chef must have felt my pain and so they told me "we can make you Nutella macarons. We have the shells already made, we just need the filling." Yaaaaaay!!! Happiness was restored. I got a dozen Nutella macarons.
While waiting for my macarons, I was eating my Nutella cupcake. The frosting was soooo good. The cupcake itself was a tad bit dry. So I ate the top half with the frosting and shared with a friend. I make the same cupcakes but I've been to lazy to make anything these days and now, I have Peridot, I have no need to bake.
The Nutella macarons were ok. I was expecting they'd mix Nutella with something else to make the filling but they didn't. It was straight up Nutella from the jar. The shells were sticking to my teeth. But because they took the time to whip up a batch just for me, I still like them and I very much appreciate the effort.
