Eclairs French Cafe and Bakery Blueberry Lavender: A Pastry That Tastes Like Late Summer

Lavender is a hard ingredient. Too much, and the pastry tastes like soap. Too little, and you've just made a blueberry éclair.

We infuse the pastry cream with a few drops of culinary lavender oil, enough that the perfume meets you a second after the fruit does, never before. A small kiss of lemon curd cuts through. Topped with fondant and a fresh sprig.

It's the éclair we recommend for people who 'don't usually order dessert.' Then they order three.

Love from our guests
