What I ordered: Cassis White Chocolate Mousse (Cassis and white chocolate mousse layered over an almond biscuit)

Review: Delicious! The pastry was light and sweet. The texture of the mousse was smooth and creamy with fresh blueberries in the center. But, the cassis mousse overwhelmed the flavor of the pastry and the flavor of the almond biscuit due to the tartness of the cassis berry.

What I ordered: Raspberry Macaroon

Review: Whoa! Talk about a sweet cookie! If you love raspberry, this is the cookie for you. Personally, I’m a huge raspberry lover, so this cookie hit the spot. It was fresh and crisp with a soft center and raspberry filling.  Although the raspberry jam contributed to the sweetness of the cookie, it was balanced. They also have other flavored macaroons, such as chocolate, pistachio, and lemon. I’m sure they are just as good as this one.
