Desserts & Sweets Pastries

Review Summary

Overall, the reviews for La Biscuitery praise the macarons for their variety and tasty quality, with careful packaging that makes them suitable for gifts or indulgence, and an inviting aroma when the biscuits bake on site. The presentation attracts customers and many readers say they intend to return and encourage others to try. Flavors like gingerbread and coconut rum, peanut, and chocolate-salted cookies are highlighted as delicious. There is curiosity about gluten-free options for those with celiac disease. A few critiques mention that some cookies can be dry or hard when purchased pre-baked, and that value can be an issue since prices are high and similar items may be found elsewhere at lower cost. There is also mention of a mix up with a maple cookie that turned out to be a brownie, warmed at home and enjoyed nonetheless.View restaurant profile
