The macaron,
made by hand.

Small-batch French macarons, baked to order. A crisp shell, a tender center, and a filling worth slowing down for.

What is a macaron?

Two shells, one quiet moment.

A French macaron is a delicate sandwich of almond-and-meringue shells with a soft filling pressed between them. Not to be confused with the coconut macaroon — this is the smooth, footed, jewel-colored cookie of Parisian pâtisserie.

Each one is whipped, piped, rested and baked by hand — a small ritual that gives it that signature crisp-then-tender bite.

The filling
Ganache, curd or buttercream — where each flavor finds its voice.
