Rush Patisserie
ELDORADO & BECKLEY

One morning, while most of the city was asleep still and Samantha Rush was baking in her kitchen as usual, she got a text message from a loyal customer. “It said, ‘Your macaroons are as good as Ladurée,’ and he was standing in Ladurée eating the macaroons when he sent me the message,” she says. That’s a famous Parisian pastry shop that invented and cultivated French macaroons. These are not the dried-up coconut cookies that are American macaroons. They are “little hamburgers” whose “buns” are made from almond flour and meringue flavored with pistachio, passion fruit, raspberry or lemon, to name a few. And they’re filled with thin layers of things like butter crème, jam or fondant. Rush, a former accountant who went to pastry school in Paris and owns Rush Patisserie, is noted for her macaroons. But there is so much more to what she does. She makes any pastry you can think of, and she does them all in an authentic European style. In the morning, she offers muffins, croissants, Danishes and other pastries to Oak Cliff commuters. She makes assortments of little cakes and tarts for meetings, parties and weddings. And on Friday and Saturday, she sells fresh baguettes.
