"While the French-inspired bakery is best known for its colorful macarons and sugary morning buns, the fantastic cakes aren’t to be ignored. The bakery, which has outposts on Burnet Road and in South Austin, offers a traditional opera cake with light, creamy coffee filling, along with a rotating selection of seasonal flavors — like lemon blackberry. If one slice isn’t enough, the shop also accepts custom orders for larger cakes. Order ahead cakes are available online." - Courtney E. Smith, Britt Hayes
