Mocha Mocha Coffee - Brooklyn, New York (A.K.A Finding Macarons in Brooklyn)
This past summer, while in New York, I had a big craving for crepes, which I partially blame
on marthoning Creamy Mami episodes. ;p Having a huge craving, I dug around any bakery or
shop that said they sold them, and went to Mocha Mocha Coffee. Now Mocha Mocha seems
rather new; it's only been around a few years, and it was my first time trying their food. Their
crepes were definitely yummy; I had one with strawberries and chocolate. While I was ordering,
something else caught my eye; they had macarons! As far as I know, this is one of the few bakeries
in Brooklyn to carry them, and of course I bought some too. Now to get back to the crepes really
quick; it vaguely reminded me of the crepes sold at IHOP, in that it used preserved fruits with
syrup. The macarons tasted good, but they were crunchier than I expected them to be; most
macarons are a soft confection with a very light crunch that melts in your mouth. These were
pretty crunchy, almost like a regular cookie, but the flavoring was good. But even though they
didn't taste exactly like how I expected, I was so happy to find a shop nearby, as I always had to
get them from Manhattan. (Their site isn't working, that's why the link is Yelp.)
