"This is the independent Latin Quarter boutique from talented pastry chef Carl Marletti. Modern and slim, the shop turns out beautifully executed riffs on classic recipes. Try the Lily Valley, a violet-infused twist on the Saint-Honoré dessert (multiple layers of small cream puffs are filled with pastry cream, then caramelized and topped with whipped cream), and, in spring, the fraisier (strawberry shortcake) that was once heralded as the city’s best by Le Figaro." - Lindsey Tramuta
