The Food At Choquette
Let me start with the apple turnover situation. Light, buttery, impossibly flaky pastry wrapped around apples that were cooked perfectly. Soft but not mushy, sitting in this nice sugary glaze that wasn't overwhelming. Every bite had that satisfying crunch-to-soft ratio you want in a good turnover.
But the real star?
The bourbon pecan bun came covered in vanilla icing. Look, I'm more of a pure cinnamon roll guy normally. Give me a classic cinnamon bun and I'm happy. But this beautiful beast made me rethink my entire position on specialty buns.
Crunchy pecans on the outside, warm and flaky in the middle, and that vanilla icing tying it all together. Every bite was worth savoring.
It quite literally made my day.
The macarons, which were the whole reason we stopped in the first place, didn't disappoint either. My son was thrilled. They had a crispy, crunchy outer shell and a soft, pillowy middle. Great flavor throughout, whatever flavors we grabbed, I only got a bite of chocolate.
Exactly what you want from a macaron.
Prices aren't outrageous, but they're definitely not cheap either. You're paying for quality here, and in my opinion, it's worth it.
Choquette Atmosphere And Miscellaneous
The atmosphere is clean and modern. Sleek setup with seating both inside and outside, though not a ton of it. Mostly inside seating, just enough to sit down with a coffee or espresso and enjoy your pastry without feeling rushed.
You will see baked goods literally everywhere, with a black and pink background. If you're not hungry when you walk in, you will be by the time you order, or you don't have taste buds.
We got everything to go, so I didn't get the full experience of sitting down and soaking in the vibe. But from what I could tell, it's a solid spot if you want to chill out for a bit with your baked goods.
