    Champs-Elysées, 8ème

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ THEEEEEE gold standard for macarons in Paris ... or anywhere for that matter. + Macarons here are a little crisp, a little pillowy softness and a whollllllle bunch of flavor. - It cost a pretty penny (about 3 Euros for 1 piece), but you won't regret it for a second when you bite into one of these addictively delicious treats. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + All class, top notch white glove service - literally - they handle the macarons with much care like it were gold! THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ + Located in the heart of the Champs-Élysées on Rue Lincoln, so, YES, it is busy like rush hour outside ... and inside. + There are 2 sides to this massive flagship location - you can either make a purchase of macarons at their store OR dine/sit down in their tea house. Both have lines to wait on, but making a purchase only takes about 10 minutes on a weekend, while dining in looks like an unimaginable wait! + The store to make a macaron purchase at has 3 tables to sit around to enjoy your purchase of delicious macarons. You MUST catch someone about to leave (like we did) in order to snag a table. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- = Expect waits on a weekend afternoon, especially to sit down in the tea room. If you just make a store purchase, it's only about a 10 minute wait ... and you'll be thanking your legs for that. = It's a tourist destination in itself, so expect LOTS of people taking photos of this location. CONCLUSION ----------------------- = Yes, I'm from the tri-state area and they've had a Laduree in NYC since 2011, but there's alwayyyyys something special about going to one of the originals and this spot is no different.

    - Busy, busy, busy location right on the Champs-Élysées; there was a steady line on Easter Sunday…read morefor macarons; bright, inviting space with beautiful, colorful displays showcasing the full range of treats - Friendly, efficient, and professional service that kept things moving despite the crowds - 12-count mixed macarons were excellent--delicate, light shells with rich fillings that felt indulgent without being overly sweet - Pricey, but worth it for an occasional treat or special stop - Separate coffee shop offering a selection of hot beverages to pair with your sweets - Limited seating with a bar table and a couple of small tables; first come, first served - Restrooms available upstairs in the restaurant dining area

    Montmartre, 18ème

    Near the Sacré-Coeur & Place du Tertre sits Biscuiterie de Montmartre. The adorable shop sells, as…read morethe name indicates, biscuits, macarons, madeleines, meringue, & confections of that nature. We were greeted warmly by pleasant staff & the gentleman helping us gave samples of small coconut cookies (I believe they were macaroons.) The prominently-displayed madeleines caught my eye, mainly the raspberry filled (2,70 €) with a bit of jam peeking through, as well as the pistachio flavor (2,20 €) with its unmistakeable green hue. The shell-shaped cakes were sweet & spongy, as to be expected, but not markedly special. A passable pick-me-up while we strolled hilly Montmartre, but after one try, I'm not in a rush to return.

    I was immediately drawn to Biscuiterie de Montmartre when I noticed their Olympics-themed window…read moredisplay that featured miniature statues participating in various sporting events - using cookies as their sporting equipment (the Olympics were right around the corner). Upon stepping inside, the friendly associate behind the counter generously offered us samples of freshly-baked coconut cookies. I decided to purchase a couple of the coconut cookies as well as pistachio madeleines - one of my favorite flavors. Both tasted incredibly fresh. I couldn't resist getting a bag of the almond cookies for the road, and I later discovered that these tasted just like marzipan candy. While located in a touristy shopping area, Biscuiterie de Montmartre felt charming and stood out for their selection of high-quality cookies and sweets that are perfect for gifting.

They were ok but nothing to write home about. The young lady in the front was also ok but not very friendly or engaging. No place to sit as all the chairs were stacked in the back despite the empty space and freezing cold outside.

    Tempted by the concept of Japanese-inspired flavors incorporated into French desserts, I couldn't…read moreresist making a visit to a Sadaharu Aoki to try their decadent treats! This location is one of many mouth-watering stands inside of the Galeries Lafayette food hall. Their glass cases are full of bright and colorful, beautiful pastries and sweets to swoon over as you decide what to order. From macarons to cakes to chocolates, there's a variety to choose from! I already knew that I wanted to try their macarons; I ordered the matcha, hojicha, and black sesame, while the boyfriend ordered the genmaicha and wasabi. The flavors were outstanding for each one! I was pleasantly surprised at how perfectly the matcha and black sesame flavors especially came through in macaron form. I also ordered a small pot of their yuzu sorbet, which was refreshing and delicious! Again, the yuzu flavor translated very well into sorbet form. My only wish was that the container was bigger... Prices were as expected - 1,80€ per macaron and 3,00€ for the sorbet cup - but as rare unique treats, I felt that they were worth the cost to try! It's also a bit less than the big bakeries such as Laduree. Can't wait until the next time I have the chance to stop by a Sadaharu Aoki to indulge in other new desserts!
