After having just returned from Japan, I’ve been craving macarons. After all, Japan is like the next best thing to Paris when it comes to patisseries. (Or maybe it’s even better?) Cocola Bakery has some good macarons – definitely not like the high-end ones that I’ve had in Japan, but more worth what you pay [...]

If you like French macarons, then the Fillmore Bakeshop is another place to try if you haven’t yet. Their macarons are on the fat and round side and are filled with different flavored butter cream. Definitely a must-try for macaron lovers like Karen and myself. 1890 Fillmore St (between Sutter St & Bush St) San [...]

It took me a while but I finally went to visit Chantal Guillon Macarons, which I deem as the queen of macarons in the Bay Area. They carry the most flavors, and special flavors too. Where else can you get a Jasmine green tea or red velvet macaron? It’s bright and colorful and clean inside, [...]

The hot item at Euro Pane Bakery seems to be their egg salad sandwich. It’s an open face sandwich atop a slice of bread, the popular choice being their rosemary currant bread. It sounds typical, but they also added a tomato spread on the bread that helped bring more flavors. It was good, but my [...]

Just a quick note. The pistachio macaron over at Citizen Cake is by far my favorite of all time now. It’s big, crunch, fluffy, and the stuffing is very pistachio-ey. Pistachio lovers must try! 2125 Fillmore St (between California St & Sacramento St) San Francisco, CA 94115 Neighborhood: Pacific Heights (415) 861-2228

It’s sweet, it’s rich, its crispy, it’s light, it’s chewy – it’s everything you could want – and at $1.50 a piece, it’s bigger and more worth it than your average macaron in the city. 2125 Fillmore St (between California St [...]

Jann and Steve came back from Las Vegas and brought be a nice little treat – French macarons from Payard Patisserie & Bistro in Las Vegas. I can’t say it’s the best, and I wasn’t too fond of their bright nuclear colors, but I did really like its texture. Hard, thin outside, soft, chewy inside [...]

I’ve always been a fan of Paulette Macarons, whether it be in San Francisco or in its original location, Beverly Hills. It’s good if you like your French macarons lighter on the outer almond egg white cookie and chewier in its filling. One new flavor I found there that I’ve never seen anywhere else is [...]
