I respect anyone that can make a good macaron, period. Understanding the commitment to getting a…read moremacaron right makes me enjoy them even when they don't quite taste perfectly. I spent the better of my college years perfecting the macaron and making all kinds of french pastries, putting in endless hours. Years later, with no time for that, I find myself with a macaron subscription - 10 a month to be exact. The deliveries from Le Nouveau Macaron are gorgeous. They are packaged beautifully, the macarons are decorated so eloquently, and they taste pretty good. I also like the combinations with some savory flavors. I just have a few suggestions or criticisms: - The subscription comes with an 'extra' item, like a little tart. While these are quite exciting to receive and look lovely, I've found them all to be extra sweet or just too much. For example, a lemon tart but with buttercream icing on top. A lemon tart is already extremely sweet and, if anything, needs a neutral topping like whipped cream, but I would say nothing at all. - The macaron cookies are sometimes too thin and seem to not have much interior. They can look thin from the side and there is not much in the bite. - The filling can sometimes be too thick for the size of the cookie. To me, the macaron can have an obvious ratio discrepancy just by looking at it (MAXIMUM 1/3 should be filling, max). It looks like mostly filling and very little cookie. Generally when it looks like that, it also tastes like that. I think the main thing is that some of the tastes are just overly sweet. Too much filling that's sweet, or in the cases of other pastries, too much sweet stuff. French pastries are generally my favorite because they are not usually overly sweet. I would like to see some offerings here that are a little less sweet and a little thicker macaron cookie. But I'ma keep on ordering!

I have been enjoying the delicacies made by Le Nouveau Macaron for some time now. The fun shapes,…read morecolors and designs are always something I look forward as I get a new delivery. While I have some favorites, I have also enjoyed the exploration of flavors they have brought to my palate. I has not considered savory Macarons, or some of the combinations that have been made, but to my surprise I have found new favorites. The Basil and white chocolate macaron, paired with tomato was one of those that became a new favorite. Another part I have enjoyed is the seasonal nature of the flavors selected for each month. I love the international flavors (Ube Macarons are also a favorite of mine). I love the classic and novel approaches used in the macaron creation. It has brought fun and excitement I look forward to experiencing each month. Try them, you will love them too!

With any good bakery, you have to get there early to get the best selection. On this particular Saturday, I was told the cookies were the first to sell out. I decided on a brownie type square, a key lime square (with the cutest tiny lime piece), and some Scottish shortbread cookies. Everything was quite good, but those Scottish shortbread cookies were my absolute favorite! I can't wait to go back and buy some more.

They serve some Trolley Track cookies, Trolley Stop items, and some items from the bakery coop. I like the idea and recognized Tipsy Goat logo. She gave out a sugared waffle as a sample and it was really good. I also purchased a slice of banana bread and a mini peach cobbler. They were ok, I liked the waffle the best. Its a small space without any seating, register is next to the bakery case with items on top and a rack near the door with more items. It was early afternoon and they still had a decent selection.

We opted for them to set up the cupcakes and it looked beautiful. The tiramisu was the best, triple chocolate and carrot cake were rich and delicious, and the lemon was lovely on a hot summer day.

Roast Beef, horseradish aioli, white cheddar, red onion on a poppy seed challah, oh my. On this day, they had something on the sweet side that caught my eye, a blueberry cream cheese Danish. I am always drawn to blueberry so I couldn't pass it up. I am not much of a sweet eater, hence the Roast Beef sandwich love but every once in a while, there is a sweet treat that I really love and this was one of those times! It was sweet, flaky, and delicious! I had a taste in the car and would have had another 1/4 after the sandwich but I ate the whole thing, I just couldn't stop. I hope they do and hope they don't have this more often!

The display cases are filled with works of art, that taste delicious. The staff is cheerful, friendly and all of them dressed in uniforms gives a feeling of professionalism. I enjoyed a Smoked Ham and Gruyere Croissant and a black coffee in house. I was to have a seat at the counter in their front window and relax while my dogs were at the doggie spa up the street. The croissant was super-super flakey and the smoked ham paired beautifully with the gruyere cheese. I couldn't come to NRB and not take home a couple of sweet treats. My favorite treat was the Raspberry Lemon Financier. It was so good the next morning with my home brewed coffee. Then that evening I enjoyed a Lemon Cake whose name I cannot recall. It exceeded moistness and the strong lemon flavor was just what I like. In addition to my treats, I got a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie for my fur-babies pet stylist as part of her tip. My only dislike and it's minor, is that they serve Kaldi's Coffee. I'm glad they are supporting another local small business, but I am not a fan of their product. Typically when I know a cafe serves Kaldi's, I pass on the coffee, but I made an exception here.

But in the midst of getting lost, I found some really cool unique things inside of the building that this bakery is located in so it was a win overall. Anyway, I was really excited to try it and I looked it up before I came. I heard they had some very unique things and I was not surprised that unique was exactly what it was. They had so many different flavors of chips so many different sauces, homemade maple, pretty much anything you can think of that can be homemade in a flavor they had it and I loved it. I love how they had an area to sit down if you wanted to enjoy the bakery items or you could take them to go, which is what we opted for since we were having to get back on the road. Got some of the chips to try and they were not bad at all and grabbed some focaccia and a cinnamon roll and I must say everything was immaculate. It was so soft that bread and the cinnamon roll and I cannot wait to go back again. It was also very welcoming everyone was friendly and they moved very quickly in there.

I can't remember what I wore yesterday, but I remember that the drinks were delicious. None of us had ever had bingsu before. We LOVED it. It was soft, just the right amount of sweet, and there were treasures underneath that kept it interesting to the last bite. Staff is friendly and helpful, and their social media presence is hilarious and entertaining. We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back.

I did a lap first just to check everything out and upon walking around I noticed a build-your-own cupcake bar, space for an event, cookies and pastries galore, and pretzels!! The ladies behind the counter were incredibly kind and helpful, which really made a difference since it was my first time there. After finally making up my mind, I got a vanilla cake pop and a chocolate chip cookie. Prior to coming here, the only place I'd ever get cake pops was Starbucks. Clearly, that's going to change! The cake pop was baked to perfection and really hit the spot. The chocolate chip cookie was soft and wasn't overly sweet. It tasted homemade and was very pleasing to the palate. To sum up my experience, this is one of prettiest cake shops I've ever been to. Not to mention, they have something for everyone (vegan, gluten free, sugar free options), and they're budget friendly! I can't wait to come back and build my own cupcake next time!
