Sucré is... fine. Beautiful interior, warm staff, and a lot of promise, but overall the experience didn't quite justify the nearly $45 price tag (yes, with tip).
Parking is a bit of a mystery -- as far as I could tell, the only option was the garage next door. They might validate, but I played it safe and had someone wait in the car. That small logistical confusion sort of set the tone for the visit.
When you enter, it's not really clear where the line starts -- or even which door is the proper entrance. It feels like both entrances are fair game, which gets awkward when there are already people inside. A "line starts here" sign would go a long way.
Now, for the sweets:
The woman behind the counter was very friendly and offered samples of the gelato, which I appreciated. I ended up with Amarena Cherry and Sea Salt Caramel in a cone. While they had flavor, they melted fast -- and it wasn't even hot out. Definitely a bowl next time if I return.
The macarons? Sadly, a letdown. I tried pistachio, salted caramel, café au lait, and blackberry citrus. Only the blackberry citrus stood out in terms of flavor. All were oddly floury and dense -- not the texture I've come to expect from a good macaron.
I also got the Lavende Citron entremet, which I took a gamble on even though lavender isn't usually my thing. I asked for the sweetest option, and was told this was it. Sweet, yes, but lacking in lavender flavor -- and not in a "subtle notes" way. Just... kind of bland.
In hindsight, I probably should've gone for the banana dome.
I might return to give the gelato and other entremets another shot, but based on this visit, Sucré leans more style than substance. If you're looking for eye candy and friendly service, you'll find it. But if you're chasing bold, memorable flavors? You might leave underwhelmed.
