2 more delicious macarons from La Boulange! In a little bit, I’ll have tried all the flavors. I’m a huge fan of pistachio macarons, but the cherry macaron was also very good. I thought the lil’ pink sugary bits were a cute touch. The pistachio macaron had a beautiful light green color and it tasted amazing. Noms! $1.50 each

How can you go wrong with sliced hard salami on a baguette!? Add some cornichons and you’ve got a winner! This sandwich doesn’t need the help of any condiments, it’s perfect in its simplicity. My only gripe was that the baguette was a little chewy and stale. I think it’s because these “Grab & Go” sandwiches are premade and kept in a plastic sleeve. They’re easy and tasty regardless.
I’ve been on a chocolate and hazelnut kick lately, which isn’t a bad thing. These flavors are delicious and simply amazing together. This is my favorite croissant at La Boulange and I get it often – I’m a pig, I know! My only gripe is that the sliver of chocolate inside is kinda small and is always pushed off to one side. I wish there was more of it and evenly distributed. Other than that, this croissant always makes me smile. $2.75

I’ve made it my personal mission to try all the different macaron flavors I come across, lol! La Boulange has a colorful array of flavors displayed in their pastry case and they look absolutely beautiful. I loved the nutella macaron – it was dark, nutty, and not too sweet. The chocolate hazelnut flavor was prominent but not overpowering, and the chopped hazelnut bits on the outside were cute and provided a great texture. The raspberry macaron was a bit of a disappointment. It was too soft and almost disintegrated upon the touch. I guess I don’t like my macarons that flimsy. $1.50 each
