Bonjour! ...From Ladurée.

The famous Parisian bake shop, Ladurée, has FINALLY opened their US flagship in the Upper East Side!
As the proclaimed inventor of the French macaron, they did not disappoint.  
I tried all 14 flavors that were available on Saturday and here are some of my favorites:
caramel a fleur de sel (caramel with salt), petale de rose (rose), pistache, cafe (coffee), noix de coco (coconut).  
These babies are $2.70 a pop which includes shipping & handling ALL THE WAY from Paris.
 
So, was an hour and a half wait for these mignonne little macarons worth it?  Oui oui!  


ps. Word has it that they will be introducing a new flavor in collaboration with NY Fashion's Night Out.   This should be interesting :)
