The vast selection on Day One included everything from New Orleans pralines (an homage to Faure's Southern roots) and eight flavors of macaroons to loaves of brioche and artfully constructed desserts like a Tart au Citron topped with toasted meringue. The list continues to include numerous sweet and savory breakfast pastries, ice cream in flavors like wedding cake and coffee, bagged caramel corn and much more.
Among Faure's favorites are the choux du jour (cream puff of the day), featuring a different filling each day (the first being Nutella), and the Bonaparte, the shop's mille-feuille (layered puff pastry), also utilizing nontraditional fillings that will rotate.

Perhaps most notably, Faure's fully edible chocolate showpieces in the form of jewelry, handbags and shoes along with "designer" tiered cake displays peek out from every corner of the room -- and that's just the icing on the cake.
