French patisserie specializing in macarons, tea, and elegant desserts
"Will offer its macarons at a special stand outside the main stadium." - Evan Caplan
"The ubiquitous, quintessential macaron house that serves as a classic benchmark — visitors are encouraged to try its iconic macarons but also compare them against other top producers to form their own opinion." - Stacey Ballis
"No one makes macarons as well as Ladurée, so we’re pleased to report that they’re a centerpiece of the afternoon tea set at this frothy French chain with a courtyard in Soho. On your tower, you get three macarons per person, plus another six to take home. This experience leans heavily on the sweet side, but everything is pastel-colored and delightful. Instead of a variety of bite-sized pastries, you’ll get one full-sized dessert per person, as well as two large tea sandwiches. The sandwiches are a bit boring, but they taste higher quality than the ones served at most tea parlors." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"In keeping with their legendary macarons, Ladurée’s hot chocolate is light, rich, and subtly sweet. Using the same recipe as their Parisian locations, Ladurée uses a combination of dark Valrhona chocolate and cocoa paste to give depth of body to the dessert while making it easily drinkable. New for this year, the French pastry shop also offers a spiked version for dining-in only." - John Tsung
"No one makes macarons as good as Ladurée, full stop. This Soho cafe can get busy on the weekends, but it's worth braving the crowds for a glamorous brunch—especially if you can snag a seat in that beautiful courtyard. Anything that comes from the pastry case is going to be good, but they’ve also got some solid savory brunch dishes involving eggs in every form. And as always, the setting here is picturesque and lovely." - team infatuation
