Laduree Soho

One of my new favorite places to go in New York is Laduree. Originally it was the Upper East Side location but then Laduree opened a huge bakery, restaurant, and open outdoor space in Soho, where Ken and I went one wonderful weekend. It’s such a beautiful bakery and all of the macarons and baked goods are always delicious and perfectly made. I love just walking in the bakery and smelling all of the delicious butter that went into their croissants and salted caramel macarons.

The beautiful backdrop:

Laduree Soho is similar to the Laduree’s in Paris (especially the one on the Champs-Elysees); there is plenty of seating and lots of beautifully made desserts:

The original location in New York only sells macarons, sorbets, and little trinkets but the (new) location in Soho sells sandwiches, croissants, caneles, and lots of beautiful sweet creations:

The macarons are all perfect (when the UES location opened, they were delivered from Paris on a weekly basis. Now that there’s a larger location in the city, I wonder if they make their macarons in house):

Ken and I purchased some macarons and an additional croissant:

And my personal favorite, a canele:

Canele’s are crunchy on the outside (thanks to the beeswax finish) and the innards are delicious; a little vanilla bean, rum, and egg yolk make the perfect bite:

Laduree already makes perfect macarons but you have to visit the soho location for their other desserts or to have a glass of champagne on their patio and enjoy a canele!
