Daddy Macaron

Michel Patisserie Macarons

Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates.

And, heaven, she said, was a box of macarons from Michel Patisserie.

Local pastry chef Michel Giaon, who spent more than ten years in Paris learning the art of macaron, makes his treats fresh daily with premium ingredients like California almonds and European butter. The result: a colorful and delicious array of the French favorite, reminiscent of those from legendary bakery Ladurée.

Flavors range from traditional (vanilla, chocolate, raspberry) to imaginative (matcha green tea, lime with basil, rose). Craving something special? Giaon gladly accepts requests for custom flavors. Plus, if you live in the D.C. area, you can pick them up the day after you order.

In other words, you’ll always know exactly what you’re going to get.
