I stopped into La Pâtisserie Chouquette, a chic French bakery, today to treat myself to a few birthday desserts. The ambiance in the shop was French modern, and there was a few people sitting inside chatting. I loved the back wall with scattered mirrors. I thought that it looked beautiful and really opened the smaller-sized space.
The two people who helped me purchase my treats were nice; the overall service was good. I stopped in quickly, so I didn't get much time to speak to the people working but my short interaction was positive.
I arrived close to closing time, so there was not a huge selection of treats. I hope to return closer to opening to get a better feel for the assortment of bakery items they offer. I ended up choosing two macarons, one chocolate and one topped with sesame seeds, and a Mille crêpe slice. I thought the macarons were tasty--they had a crisp, crunchy shell with a flavorful filling. However, I didn't find the flavors themselves to be anything special. The flavor was good, but nothing stood out to me. In terms of the Mille crêpe, I thought the texture was nice, along with the glazed raspberries on top. I am unsure of it's specific flavor because the label did not specify. After looking on their website, I believe it is the raspberry mango Millie crêpe. However, I am unsure. Either way, I was not able to discern any distinct flavor when trying the dessert. In addition, I think it lacked a bit of sweetness and tang from the raspberry. Overall, I do not think that I would purchase this again.
I am very happy I was able to try La Pâtisserie Chouquette! I'm not sure at this point if I would recommend this French bakery, but I am hoping to return closer to opening time to have a wide variety of options to choose from. If you do go, I would get a macaron. I think those were overall solid.
