We tried six different flavors of macaroons, all so delicate and almost too pretty to eat. The centers were so creamy and the flavor was  outstanding.

Ohh My Goodness. The millefeuille looks so amazing and I can't wait for it to get here!

Is this heaven? Yes. We attended a dinner party and decided to order Sandrine's Macarons to share. They were all the rage.   The only criticism I have is that my friends eat them all and once they run out, I have to wait for new fresh ones to be baked.

Sandrine was delightful to deal with.  She asked us all the right questions to satisfy our needs.  In the end she helped us decide how much and what type of confections to present to the buyers at our corporate event.  THEY WERE ASTOUNDED!!

I'm always excited to see you on Saturdays at NewBo, but when I saw on your website that I could place special orders and request such a variety of pastry, I knew I was going to order too much and enjoy every bit of it.

We had some pastry at the Farmers Market on Saturday!  Wonderful!!  They were as delicious as they were beautiful.

Sandrine's macaroons are amazing! I've had them at newbo then ordered for a work event. Couldn't recommend enough!

Awesome!! The Article in the Gazette! I've been looking all over Iowa for months for reasonably priced macarons but there aren't many options. So I was super excited when I read your article in the paper.

I don't even recall how many times we came back to Sandrine for more desserts and dinner menu! You taste the richness, the real home-made style of French cooking/baking, the honest ingredient and most sincere customer service from Sandrine.

 Mmmmmmm…. Everything I have ate from the variety Sandrine delivered has been delicious! There was a caramel tart and a key lime tart with scrumptious meringue. The box contains pastries, cream puffs, a mousse with macarons, and more! I’m definitely going to be ordering again. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

First I must disclose that Sandrine is my sister-in-law. Yesterday I arrived from Tucson, AZ. When I walked in her home I was instantly overwhelmed with the incredibly sweet smell of Sandrine baking macarons. It brought me back to my childhood and smelling my mom baking chocolate chip cookies. Oh, that scent just permeated my senses and put me in my old happy place.
This morning I woke up to the smell of Sandrine baking my wife and I fresh croissants (chocolate,
blueberry, and strawberry). Oh my goodness! Straight out of the oven, almost too hot to eat, I devoured three croissants. The experience was as good as I had envisioned - actually far better.
To eat croissants while drinking coffee with Sandrine, I was enlightened about where her passion for baking came from. Sandrine, as a young girl in France, learned from her mother how to shop in fresh produce markets and create food from scratch.
Her attention to detail is uncompromising. I watched her hand torch crème brûlée macarons and each one came out perfect.
Although my voice is biased, if you want handmade French pastries of the highest quality, Sandrine would be my choice.

Outstanding communication, easy and quick pickup. I ordered a custard fruit tart. It was exquisite and beautifully made and not a morsel left. Everyone loved it! Sandrine's pickup area has the charm & esthetic of a French patisserie- keeping it authentic and cohesive across the board and her pickup space felt very warm and inviting. It's so lovely to have an authentic French patisserie close by. It's definitely worth the drive from Iowa City to Cedar Rapids. Will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your gift.
