The price wasn't marked, which scares me. Laurie, let's make it a special occasion and split a chocolate cup and a macaron! Bellis, that's what we should have done.<br /><br />I'm a terrible, terrible fool, Marley. Trish agrees, and of course she's right.<br /><br />Me too, Loren! I'm saving up for a macaron even as we speak.<br /><br />Stef, Laurie will better know the answer but yes, I think the owner and some of the staff are French. Definitely many of the products are imported from France, and you may find some of your old favorites there. You'll be the best judge--I suggest you test the place before taking your mum there!<br /><br />I wish I could take credit for finding it, Hughes, but Nicole's is a popular spot and no secret. They also have sandwiches.
