Last week I had Boule Bakery’s phenomenal lychee-mint sorbet. It’s like tasting a delicate tropical blossom while blazing down a snow-covered hill on a plastic sled with no mittens. I also enjoyed the chocolate gelato made with “a little bit of honey.”

The Boule staff was wearing small red and purple rubber visors and they were more friendly than usual. The visors appeared incongruous with the dominantly minty Tiffany & Co. museum-like atmosphere. I suppose I’m glad they’re starting to enjoy themselves since it can get un-fun pretty quickly in Boule. I once pronounced macaron as “macaroon,” rhymed with “spoon.” The woman behind the counter rolled her eyes and pronounced it correctly for me. [*crickets* at the pastry case during that transaction]

Really though, Boule’s my morphine drip, they could throw down a few dirty mattresses, curse me out the whole time, and I’d still go in there.
