'lette formerly Paulette is queen of macarons at least in Los Angeles. The store is located in Beverly Hills. Macarons; not to be confused with macaroons are a totally different breed of cookies. They originated in France. The famous Laduree in Paris; inventor of macarons is where I was first introduced to these delicate crunchy outside and chewy inside cookies many years ago. They are filled with a creamy ganache.
'lette is the closest to the real thing. These come in many different flavors like, salted caramel, columbian coffee, lemon, rose, violet cassis, to name a few. They also have seasonal flavors like lychee and passion fruit. They are delicate and delicious plus they look very pretty in their pastel colors. They make a great gift packed in a nice box. My cousin Ramon gave me a box for my birthday.
I have had many macarons from different patiserries but most of them are just too sweet. So if you can't hop on a plane to go to a Laduree in Paris, Tokyo, Geneva, or the latest one to open in New York, go to 'lette in Beverly Hills and you won't be disappointed.
