Macaron by Patisse

“The thing that sets us apart is that we also have flavor in the shells of the macaron, not just in the filling,” she said. “They are all 50 calories, and almost all are gluten-free. We sell out at the shop almost every night.”

Rajani said the macarons are made fresh daily with all-natural ingredients and no added preservatives. Customer favorites at the boutique include salted caramel macarons, birthday cake macarons, and fig and goat cheese macarons.

The boutique also makes different flavors of gelato pops, which are macarons and gelato combined as a push pop.

Besides selling macarons to walk-in customers, Rajani said catering is available as well as custom-designed macaron orders for Christmas, birthdays or special events.

The boutique also offers 12 flavors of organic teas and 20 flavors of Italian soda to go along with the macarons.

Rajani said for now the three stores will be the only locations for the boutique, but there could be more possible expansions of Macaron by Patisse in the future.

“Right now I just want to take it easy,” she said. “We are, however, still thinking about future opportunities for more stores.”
