Estelle
Essential Information
Find a taste of the City of Light in the City of Trees at this airy French bakery and pâtisserie, where the glass cases are filled with tempting treats like golden croissants, colorful macarons and delicate tarts. Owner Esther Son opened this location in January 2018 (it’s twice the size of Estelle’s original downtown cafe), serving pastries like the exquisite macaron rosé with rose-infused pastry cream, lychee compote and fresh raspberries, and, on Fridays through Sundays, strawberry-mascarpone-filled croissants. Downtown Estelle fans, rejoice: A second cafe at the DoCo plaza offers the same lineup of pastries and lunch options, including the signature caprese sandwich on a fresh-baked baguette and the savory ham and caramelized onion quiche.
