Did you know we sell more than just French pastries? We also have a whole line of jams, candies, and other French goodies!

Today’s post is all about our jam. ❤️

We carry Bonne Maman jams in flavors you don’t typically find here in the U.S. — chestnut, mandarin, black cherry, mirabelle plum, fig, and quince. We also have blackcurrant and apricot & lavender from another French brand.

These aren’t unusual or “fancy” flavors in France. They’re the kinds of jams you’ll find on breakfast tables all over the country.

Jam is a big part of French breakfast — spread on bread, paired with a buttery croissant, or enjoyed with a little butter underneath. And then there’s le goûter — the traditional afternoon snack around 4pm, when kids (and adults!) often have pretty much the same thing they had for breakfast. 😋

Another difference? French bread and pastries aren’t overly sweet. Bread is generally unsweetened or only lightly sweetened, and even croissants are much less sweet than many pastries here.

So if you’ve been eyeing those jars of jam on our shelves… this is your sign to try one. ❤️

We highly recommend it with a real French butter croissant. 😉

We get a lot of questions about whether or not we serve anything that is gluten free.

Our strawberry, pistachio and chocolate macarons are gluten-free! 🎉

(One important note: our macarons are made in the same kitchen and prepared in the same space as products containing gluten, so we cannot guarantee that they are free from cross-contact. Also, our vanilla and coffee macarons are not gluten free.)

And if you’ve been into the bakery and noticed that our macarons aren’t quite as brightly colored as some of the ones you see elsewhere… that’s intentional. 💛

A lot of macarons get their beautiful, super-bright colors from artificial food dyes. We’ve made the choice not to use artificial colors or other unnecessary artificial ingredients in our bakery.

We know that some children (and people) can be particularly sensitive to artificial food dyes and that’s one more reason we’re happy to leave them out.

So yes, our macarons might be a little more naturally colorful — but that’s exactly how we want them. 😊

If you haven’t tried a macaron yet, you really should! They’re absolutely delicious. 🐝

INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT 🎉 Organic raw cane sugar 🍯

There’s a reason we choose organic raw cane sugar for our pastries instead of standard white sugar.

Raw cane sugar hasn’t been stripped down and heavily refined. It still holds onto some of its natural molasses and trace minerals, which gives it a little more depth and that subtle warm, almost caramel-like flavor. You can actually taste the difference in our pastries.

And the organic part matters to us, too. Organic cane sugar comes from sugar cane grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and it doesn't have the chemicals that are added in the refining process (like phosphoric acid, calcium hydroxide (lime), and sometimes sulfur dioxide).

It’s the same reason we use organic flour. We’d rather start with ingredients that are as close to their natural state as possible before they ever make it into our kitchen.

Your health matters to us at The French Honeybee and we will always choose the best ingredients for our customers. 🐝

✨ PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: ÉCLAIRS 🎉

Let’s talk about éclairs!

An éclair is a classic French pastry made from light, airy choux dough. It’s baked until it puffs up, leaving the inside hollow, then filled with a creamy pastry filling and finished with a sweet glaze: the fondant.

And if you’ve ever looked at an éclair and thought, “Isn’t that basically a long donut?” — not quite! 😉

So what makes an éclair different?

🥐 The dough: Éclairs are made with choux pastry — a simple dough made with butter, water, flour, and eggs. It puffs up from steam as it bakes.

🔥 The cooking: Éclairs are baked, while traditional donuts are fried.

✨ The texture: Instead of being dense and bread-like, an éclair has a light, airy, hollow shell with a delicate crispness on the outside.

And fun fact: the word éclair means “flash of lightning” in French. ⚡️ It’s thought to refer either to the shiny glaze that catches the light or to how quickly you’ll eat one because they’re so good!

This week, you can find three flavors at The French Honeybee:

🍫 Chocolate
☕ Coffee
🤍 Vanilla

Come try one and see what makes a real French éclair so special. 🐝

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT 🎉

Okay, so this isn't our typical croissant or French pastry post... but hear us out...

We recently started carrying the Emile Vergeois juices from France, and honestly, they're probably one of the best juices we've ever tasted...

They’re seriously delicious — and definitely not your typical bottled juice. They taste like what juice should actually taste like.

We have:
🍎 Apple
🍇 Red Grape
🫐 Blackcurrant
🍑 Apricot

They’re imported from France and made with really high-quality fruit. They have so much flavor and don’t taste like your typical bottled juice. We chose these for the same reason we choose everything else we carry — really good ingredients and really good quality.

And tomorrow we’re adding orange and passionfruit to the lineup!

If you’re grabbing a croissant or pastry, grab one of these too. You won’t regret it. 🐝

We’ll be closed tomorrow, Thursday, August 20, while our new HVAC system is being installed.

We’re sorry for the unexpected closure, but we’re looking forward to getting our new system up and running and getting back to baking for you!

Thank you for your patience and understanding! 💙💛
