They do exist! Mind you, I have never been to Paris, but the macarons at Madeleines Bakehouse are worth my (and your) while. I have mainly had their fruit macaron selections (Apricot, Raspberry, Key Lime, Blackberry) up until this weekend. My mom and I stopped in the bakehouse for some French Pressed Coffee yesterday and took a few macarons to go. She chose Coconut, and said that “it is five times better than a Snoball!” I chose Crème Brûlée and Pumpkin. Pumpkin was yummy, with a fresh pumpkin butter center, but Crème Brûlée is my new favorite. The “trinity cream” dessert is in a sparkly, bite-sized sandwich poof of light, sweet indulgence. Airy flavor vibrance, AHOY.

    As someone who has yet to experience the indulgence of a macaron, I am completely jealous! 🙂 May I ask your fellow Bay Area, California readers if they know of a great place that sells authentic macarons? You have inspired me! 🙂
    Thanks for another great post and the beautiful pics!

        Thank you so much, Amy! The family is actually spending Mother’s Day in SF, so I will definitely convince my mom to come with me to Miette…to buy her macarons, of course! 🙂
