In both versions, the cookie and cream are the closest to true French macarons I've had. Biting into an Itzy Bitzy mac, the cookie breaks, falling into the cream; but instead of cutting through it, the two elements fuse together making each bite complete. Each component is less vibrant than, say macarons from Madeleine, but they together make a more French feeling bite. It's almost a more effortless perfection. Black + White is a subtle nod to Oreo in taste. I liked this one very much but felt the true genius (and Pierre Hermé osmosis) came in the Chestnut Green Tea variety. It's pretty dead-on Hermé. They are available at Tafu and at the Brooklyn Flea for now, but flavors change monthly so unless you live nearby one of the venues, join the rest of us begging Itzy Bitzy to get her own storefront!
