Yes, you read the headline correctly – Macaroon Ice
Cream sandwiches! Francois Payard Bakery on West Houston has added ice
cream sandwiches to their already decadent menu. Their take is a bit
different then most out there. They use French macarons for the sandwich
and sorbets instead of ice cream for the fillings. These little treats
really are delicious and perfect for when you need a cool sweet fix, but
don't want a huge dessert or are petite and/or European and think a 4 X
2 inch treat is rather large. They come in a number of combinations
including Coconut Mango (my choice for today), Pistachio Raspberry, and
Berries and Cheesecake.
Francois Payard Bakery has a full menu of pastries and baked goods (croissants, macarons, tarts, etc $2.50 to $4+) sandwiches and a selection of chocolates and treats to take home. To make sure I take in enough antioxidants I picked up their Dark Chocolate and Orange Peel (protect from scurvy) bar ($7) They also have a Milk Chocolate and a White with berries. I also espied on their shelves a tube of something they call a Brigadeiro ($9.25) which is their version of a chocolate spread for bread and/or as an ice cream topping (milk, dark and white). In this case I went with the White. It has the Coconut and the Lime in it, plus not just the flavor, bits...oh soooooo good.
Francois Payard Bakery is a welcome addition to the neighborhood and a great spot to pop by before or after a flick at the Angelika, a show at Le Poisson Rouge or to re-fuel you for your shopping spree (or carrying your significant other's bags from their spree).
