Mini Foodventure #60: Box of Delights from Boule Atelier (Beverly Center area)

Finally had the opportunity to stop by Boule Atelier, the reincarnation of Boule two buildings down. Everything looks heavenly, and here's the box of fancy schmancies I took home:

Canelés: Caramelized and crunchy outside, custardy and tender-soft inside -- both the vanilla and chocolate versions were a joy to munch on.

Macarons: Crispity, airy cookie sandwiches - a bit larger and more flavor-forward than those of Jin Patisserie's, all the varieties I had (meyer lemon, pistachio, vanilla-olive oil, caramel-sea salt, rose and café) were pretty good, though the lemon & caramel flavors were particularly outstanding.

Paté de Fruits (wrapped in photo above): I got the pear-vanilla, calamansi lime and pink grapefuit, all were bursting with juicy sweet flavors with just the right texture in firmness & chewiness!

In short, it was worth every penny of the nearly $30 I spent here -- and I sure had a swell time polishing these off over the next three days. Can't wait to go back to try some of their decadent cakes and pastries, luscious ice creams, exotic-flavored chocolates and, of course, the Oprah-raved caramels (had to skip on all these goodies this time since I had a few afternoon errands and don't want the sun to ruin them.)

What do others say?
- Foodie Universe finds their exquisite sweets are worth every penny, too
- Caroline on Crack feels worlds away taking a tea & dessert break here after shopping
- Eating L.A. is pretty impressed by their offerings at their opening preview party
