Caramel French Patisserie - Salem

This place does not disappoint. Waited a whole year to visit during Halloween from Florida. There are so many yummy choices, its hard to choose.

Everything looks amazing but I had a coffee opera cake and no coffee could be detected. It tasted like a good vanilla with chocolate ganache opera cake but definitely not coffee. The place is clean. Staff is nice. And there are a few spots to sit inside.

So I learned macaroons (coconut) and macarons (almond) are very different. Both are delicious, but my new obsession are the macarons- delicate, soft yet crunchy. Best eaten very slowly with a cup of tea! They also offer a wide variety of delicate and delicious pastries, almost too beautiful to eat and absolutely delicious. Everything from here is a treat. If you are a visitor to Salem, treat yourself to some sweets to take back to your room at night.

Presentation definitely gets an above and beyond, their desserts look super tasty and beautiful! We tried two, the caramel dessert and the pistachio one. OMG!! We could not stop eating them, DELICIOUS and sooo enjoyable to look at. Very cute place, not a lot of seating but it truly does not matter. Now I recommend this place as a ?must go to? place when visiting Salem. Very close to all the other touristy places.

Loved the apricot croissant so much we came back again the next day for another. Amazing. While there visitor after visitor purchased sleeve after sleeve of their beautiful macaroons. We then tried a walnut caramel pastry and were delighted with it. Great caramel coating over a biscuit like crust and ample volume of soft walnuts. Perfection.
