Dessert

The salted caramel and raspberry in particular are extraordinary. Check out Laudree if you're in Georgetown and have a sweet craving. Pair the macaroons with ice cream or join them for tea time available everyday from 3 - 6 pm.

These macaroons are well known and are worth the stop. There is a wide range of flavors which is fantastic, their flavours are on point and the filings intense which really ties everything together like a good taco sauce.
