Review: Pierre Herme

Being an avid fan of the TV series Gossip Girl, M decided to surprise me with dessert from one of Blair Waldorf's favourite patisseries: Pierre Herme.

The tiny storefront is often blocked with the long line of customers waiting to get their sugar craving filled. Although the name Pierre Herme may not be as well known as the famous Laduree, its product is definitely comparable - if not better.

M bought a box of assorted macaroons as well as 2 pieces of cake:

Assorted Macaroons

Carrément Chocolat and Tarte Infiment Café

All of the treats were extremely tasty, and trying to guess what flavour each of the macaroons were was a lot of fun. However, we would recommend not to eat this quantity in one sitting as we were bloated after attempting this feat.

Verdict:
This underrated patisserie is a must-try for everyone visiting Paris. Its variety of different macaroon flavours is one-of-a-kind. Order online in advance to avoid the long in-store lineups. However, if this is not an option, be patient and stand in line - its definitely worth the wait.
