If you’re imagining yourself in France, lingering over a warm drink and a buttery pastry, good news: you can skip the plane ticket purchase.
State of play: Maisonette is now serving coffee, breakfast bread and all manner of confections right in the heart of Boulder.
- The cafe opened on the west end of downtown at 921 Walnut St. in May.
What to expect: Maisonette’s credentials are authentique, as owner Florian Tétart is a pastry chef and baker from Lille, France.
- Tétart has worked in top-tier kitchens around the world, including as pastry chef de cuisine at Hong Kong’s two-star Michelin restaurant Écriture.
The vibe: There’s lots of indoor seating and a patio beside Walnut Street.
Dig in: Maisonette offers a variety of breakfast sandwiches, plates and salads.
- But be sure to save room for dessert: the shop offers croissants, tarts, crème brûlée, flan, macaroons and even more delightful treats.
- Pro tip: They concoct a series of decadent hot chocolates throughout the winter season.
The big picture: Maisonette’s arrival will hopefully help fill the bakery hole in the Boulder scene with the recent closure of Breadworks…
