Japanese Desserts at Patisserie Chantilly

I heard much hype about Patisserie Chantilly in Lomita and me being the dessert lover had to go check it out. I love Bonjour Bakery which has the similar Japanese style desserts. Patisserie Chantilly sells Macarons which Bonjour does not. I was very curious about the macarons since I'm always looking for a good macaron. I was honestly a little disappointed with this place. I bought 4 pastries to try : Cafe Au lait, Kir Royale, Othello, and Alsace (starting from the left bottom going clockwise in the photo). They were all actually just ok....nothing spectacularly good...just good. I'm not sure why....perhaps they were all a bit too light and spongy. There was no real density or flavor to them. The macarons were decently made, but I would much rather have Paulette macarons by far. As for eating Japanese style desserts I would much rather go to Bonjour.

    The Macaroons always look so good in the display case. I really like their creampuffs.

    Brandon....the macarons were just alright...I heard the creampuffs are good, but I was really disappointed with the rest of the baked good there. I don't think I would actually go there again....just not good enough.
