Paris Bakery was proudly pink and impressive with its oversized pastries…read more I was overwhelmed by the generous collection of baked goods on display. Interestingly, the quiches were arranged on the counter without any casing, yet they still looked divine. Because many of the pastries were wide and tall, the boxes could not securely contain them. I would reconsider how orders are assembled since my box arrived partially open. The quiches could be reheated, although I wished they had been a bit toastier. *Strawberry Croissant: had a vibrant red exterior. The croissant itself was flaky and filled with strawberry cream and jam. It was my favorite item from my order. The strawberry flavor was intense and the thick cream helped balance the sweetness. The ratio of pastry to filling was ideal. *Raspberry Croissant: heavier on fruit rather than cream, which I preferred. The fresh raspberry on top was naturally sweet and the jam had a pleasant tartness that made it feel more balanced. *Passionfruit Croissant: looked more impressive than it tasted. It was less filled than the others, so it resembled a classic croissant with a single layer of thick cream. The cream was extremely dense and did not blend well with the pastry. The flavor did not resemble passionfruit and came across as overly sweet and floral. I was unable to finish it. *Mushroom Quiche: the mushrooms were cooked well, but the egg filling was under seasoned. The filling was not completely set and had a drippy consistency. I wished more onions had been mixed into the eggs. The crust was tasty and buttery, but it could not save the mediocre filling. *Rose Latte: fragrant drink with strong rose notes from the petals on top. It was not overly milky and the floral flavors came through nicely. *Fruit Tart: had a mixed berry topping over vanilla cream with a shortcake base. The shortcake was buttery and dense. The cream was again the least impressive component. The berries were sweet and plump, but the shortcake was substantial on its own. I would have preferred a fruit based filling rather than cream. Overall, I would stick to the berry items since they seemed the most balanced. The cream was not to my taste due to its chalky consistency and pasty mouthfeel. The pastries were enormous and were best enjoyed when shared.

I'm not being selfish; I'm simply concerned about your health LOL Wow. Just wow. I'm not sure where to begin with the superlatives. My companion and I paid our first visit on a recent Saturday morning. She had heard about the almond croissants and wanted to drop in and try one. It was all over once we entered the store and I was grateful to finally pry her away! This quaint little shop is tucked away in a mainly residential area a few blocks off Jonestown Road in Colonial Park. The shop is utterly immaculate, and from what we could see the production area was also spotless. The young man working the counter was very friendly and quite patient as my companion bounced from item to item, adding to our quickly burgeoning order. I finally managed to stop her and we escaped with an almond croissant, a butter croissant (mine), a bacon and Swiss quiche, and two wonderfully crafted desserts. I would have included a photo of the butter croissant, but I devoured it before we left our parking space. The photos are of one of the desserts--now long gone!--and the bacon and Swiss quiche, which I am savoring as I post this review. The quiche shell is basically perfect and the bacon is generously portioned and good sized, thick bits. Just wow. Frederic Loraschi Chocolate is absolutely worth a visit. Ever single aspect of our visit was superb, and I know we'll be back repeatedly. HIGHLY recommend. Do note that baked goods are only available on Saturdays, and the shop closes at noon on Saturday.

Many of the holiday flavors are decorated so nicely (with holiday sprinkles, as a reminder, as a snowman, etc.) It just adds a very festive touch. The actual macarons are very yummy. You can really taste the different flavors. I've been to a couple of places where no matter what the flavor is they all basically taste the same. That is definitely not the case here. And they do not skimp on the amount of filling in each macaron. It's a generous amount. I've purchased these as Christmas presents for my boyfriend's boss as well as for family members. I've also purchased them for myself! They're a great gift and a great treat!

Unfortunately the appearance was the only 10/10 for me. These did not have that delightful slightly soft chewy center I'm used to, the macaron was very thin,dry, and crumbly. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or some old stale ones but the texture was very off for me. Also the flavor of the actual filling and macaron themselves were not what I was expecting. Everything was way overally sweet and had zero contrasting flavors. The smell and taste was also very artificial. For the price I paid I am very disappointed. Will not buy again.

We had a tough time finding a Macaron we liked and ventured to The Golden Whisk after trying 4 previous bakeries and were pleasantly surprised. The baker explained they make their Macarons with White Chocolate Ganache, but they would make a few samples with other filling if I could come back next week (I, the bride do not like chocolate). So we left this day with bellies full of other sweets (highly recommend the lemon bar and a Chai Tea Latte) and waited a week to return. We came back the following Saturday to pick-up a sample, to our surprise there was not one but multiple samples with non-chocolate ganache filling (amazing) AND the baker hand wrote on each to make sure we knew what we were trying. We were very happy with the the samples and moved forward with ordering a Macaron Tower for our Wedding with the Chai (cream colored) and Cookies & Cream flavors (black & white colored).... TO DIE FOR, these flavors were BETTER than the samples and we didn't event try either of these flavors previously! We highly recommend The Golden Whisk for your next event or just stop by to grab yourself a drink and a pastry (we are from southern York it's work the drive).
