"Known fondly as the "Picasso of pastry," Pierre Hermé excels at almost everything he produces, but there are three key non-negotiables to pick up when visiting this particular location, one of two flagships: the Ispahan croissant, composed of rose, raspberry, and lychee; the Infiniment Vanille shortbread tarte, featuring a combination of vanillas (Mexico, Tahiti, and Madagascar); and rainbow-hued macarons in flavors like Iranian black lemon, Petrossian caviar, pistachio-raspberry, rose, and milk-chocolate passionfruit." - Lindsey Tramuta
