Have you ever been watching Blair nosh on authentic French macarons during a Gossip Girl episode and wish you were doing the same?
Thankfully, La Pâtisserie by Luxe Sweets opens today to fulfill those needs! There’s a Parisian touch into every last detail of La Pâtisserie by Luxe Sweets. Whimsical art work by local artist Graham Franciose will flank the walls. Coffee and tea have been imported from France, and the staff has even brushed up on French pronunciations during lessons at the Alliance Française d’Austin.
“A dream, 20 years in the making, is finally coming true! I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to bring my favorite part of Paris, the pastries, to Austin,” says Nagree, owner of Luxe Sweets.
La Pâtisserie’s glass display cases will be full of Nagree’s signature, vibrantly-colored French macarons, with avant garde flavors like rose, lavender, champagne, and cardamom honey orange. Viennoiseries (no, I don’t know what that means either) like the pain au chocolat, almond brioche and the morning bun will replace the typical breakfast pastry. Plus there are les petites douceurs
(baked goods) like Soraiya’s coffee éclairs, pear chevre gallette, and melt-in-your-mouth financiers.
I don’t know what half of these things are, but they sound delectable and I love the idea of having a little French pastry shop in the heart of South Austin, at 602 West Annie Street.
Tuesday – Thursday: 7AM – 3PM
Friday – Sunday from 7AM – 4PM.
