This cute little shop is located inside of Stanley Market and was one of the first places I stopped by when I landed.
There was a decent sized parking lot, but it was pretty full. After a little driving around, we parked on the side of the street and walked in.
Miette is down the same hall as the donut shop and sushi restaurant, right next to the BBQ place. They offer some impressive looking desserts and bon bons, though they are pricey. (Desserts $5-10, BonBons almost $3.00 each)
Passionfruit Bon Bon: 4/5
I've had some fancy looking bon bons in the past that have been pretty unimpressive. I really appreciated Miette et Chocolat's bonbon because of its very thin shell, the quality of their semi-sweet/dark chocolate, and the beautiful snap/crunch of the shell when I bit into the bonbon. These three qualities were proof that these bonbons were well worth their price tag. The passionfruit filling was very flavorful and the ONLY complaint I have is that it seems the filling had a thin layer of crystallization on top which didnt ruin the tasting experience, but was certainly not my favorite.
Eclair: 4.5/5
This eclair was not your basic cream filled eclair. The choux had a layer of craquelin on top which gave the eclair a lovely texture. It also helped preserve the eclair so that even if the choux got a little soggy from the filling, the craquelin kept the eclair crisp. There were also crunchy pearls, a strip of, again, great quality, well tempered chocolate that gave a really satisfying snap when you bit into it, and a tiny, cute little macaron. Overall, this was a tasty dessert, but too rich for me to have in one sitting. In fact, I had this eclair over several days (a few bites with my tea in the evening) and it was nice. This dessert was well though out and balanced and was certainly worth the price.
