Excellent place to find a handcrafted artisan gift. I ordered macaron, Bon bon, and petite tarte. The peach tarts had an excellent filling - the tart shell was undercooked. The pear tarts were traditional in flavor but lacking in texture as well. The macaron had excellent flavor and was perfect size and color. You can tell they are especially good at bonbon, chocolate truffles, and macaron. The woman who runs the place is an excellent conversationalist and creates a small home feel. I was so looking forward to a French bakery in North Carolina, and I was happy to have found her spot. The chocolates are exceptional and handcrafted, and each one has a unique and pungent flavor. In total, with one box chocolate, one box macaron, and both pies, I spent $75.

Miel knows how to make some doggone chocolate, let me tell you. I should’ve taken a picture of the art, but here’s a picture of the aftermath. The chocolates are laid out really clearly in the case, so you can pick out exactly which ones will spark the joy that you need (including ginger bon bons? Come on!) We didn’t try the macarons but that’s for next time.

This bakery gives you a fairy tale feeling with the sugary aroma. There were so many treats that I went every day of my trip. Take your time; look and ask about their offerings. I had the macarons, and they were phenomenal! The ham and cheese croissant was amazing. My favorite item was the maple bourbon tartlet. I'd recommend getting desert here versus other places in the area.

I was gifted a box of these amazingly beautiful chocolates. These are truly works of art and although what I know about fine chocolate could fit in a thimble I would say these eye-candy chocolates are as delicious as they are beautiful. I had a pineapple shaped one that was as good as anything I have ever had made of chocolate. The salted caramel was amazing too. But honestly they were all great.

I was gifted a box of these amazingly beautiful chocolates. These are truly works of art and although what I know about fine chocolate could fit in a thimble I would these eye candy chocolates to be just as tasty as they were eye catching. I had a pineapple shaped one that was as good as anything I have ever had made of chocolate.
