Yann Boutique is one of those cute little bakeries by 4th street that sells french macarons and many other delicious treats. Even though it was a rainy afternoon, we both decided to stop by and try out some of their stuff. Yann Boutique was originally a house and they transformed it into a small little place (see pictures below).

They were both very delicious as they were nice and moist and we can taste some of the ingredients inside.

French Macarons
(top row from left to right) Orange blossom and Gran Marnier, blackcurrent violet, and cherry
(middle row from left to right) Irish Coffee, passion fruit and tarte tatin
(bottom row from left to right) Roselitchi, PBJ and coconut chocolate
We both preferred to get the fruit-flavored macarons from Yann as they tasted exactly how they were suppose to. I especially like the Irish coffee as it was very strong and it has a nice bitter taste to it. The roselitchi had an initial taste of the lychee fruit flavored and a slight rose aftertaste.

More macarons (top left is pistachio and bottom right is mint chocolate)
During the Lilac Festival on 4th street, we stopped by Yann and got two new macarons that we had never tried before. The pistachio was kind of a disappointment as we did not get any pistachio taste and for the mint chocolate macaron, we thought the Bakery @ the Market had a better mint chocolate macaron than Yann.
