I'll have you know that the barista knows me like few others and deliberately made the swirly heart, just because he's an artist!And this is what I treated myself to at lunch (Holt Renfrew is stocking them right now):
Yes, they really look like that. And they taste awesome. (Mind you, apparently, in order to purchase them from the vendor directly, you have to order $300 worth (150 macarons) and then pay $75 in shipping in the general Toronto area. That's $375 plus tax, people. In this economy.
Feel free to surprise me. :-)

macaroons are gorgeous! i don't want to eat them, though, and thank god! what ridiculous prices!
ReplyDeleteI had a box of 6 for lunch (I know, disgusting) yesterday while walking around the Plateau. I thought it was pricey what I pay for a box. Now that I see I'd only get 2 from Bobbette, doesn't feel so bad.
ReplyDeleteI hope they were really really good. The lavender ones are enticing me.
The macaroons are gorgeous. I do love macaroons. And what a sweet morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a coffee drinker but I love those little foam designs.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, you don't have to go right to the vendor! But I'd be tempted too, for all that pastel scrumptiosity!
ReplyDelete(I know "scrumptiosity" isn't a word.)
I love good coffee foam. Yum. An,d wow, $300 worth of macarons is a lot of macarons. And, as they are so expensive you wouldn't want any to go bad and so you'd have to eat a whole lot of them and very quickly.
ReplyDeleteSay, is that the barista you chatted up sans wedding ring awhile ago? You did/do go back to that cafe, right?
ReplyDeleteOh... heart coffee... that's really nice :).
ReplyDeleteWonderful,looks yummy and colorful..=)

droll: Macarons are the girliest of cookies :-)
ReplyDeleteRaven: That's perfect lunch! Where do you get yours? I'm going to be in Mtl. in a couple of weeks and I want to get some...
Mardel: Isn't that coffee gorgeous??
Wendy: I can't believe you don't have the coffee vice. What do you drink with your Cadbury?
E: It's totally a word in my books!!
Bel: That's the ridiculous thing. I mean, they last 2 days. I think you'd need to do them for a wedding or function.
Miss C: I am so embarrassed to tell you that I've more or less avoided that place ever since - I actually got sick and tired of the inflated prices and long lunch lines, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't cringe every time I think of running into that guy again. Where's my moxy?
Nadine: Thank you!
Summer: They're the best.
Solo: Thanks!
Hammie: I totally know what you mean. Somehow, that doesn't bother me...
I get mine at La maison du macaron on De la Roche, just south of Mont-Royal ave. They have ice cream ones for the summer in addition to the regulars.
ReplyDeleteI'll be trying out the ones at Europea in a few days. They're located one block away from my job at the courthouse. If they turn out good, this is going to be a fattening summer.
Those prices, what? I made them twice and gave up..... some are sweeter than others...but man, that is just absurd about the prices, right?
ReplyDeleteI love the Latte Art..
Raven: Thanks! I wanna try the ice cream version...
ReplyDeleteGJ: Isn't it art!!?
