West 7th Street's macarons are staying longer than expected. Savor Patisserie announced in late March that West 7th gave the pop-up shop permission to serve Fort Worthians until the end of the summer. The store was originally going to close on March 20, but future construction allowed the shop to receive an extension on its temporary agreement. West 7th management plans to make structural changes along Savor Patisserie's Crockett Street location right after the shop closes in the fall.
Owner Kelli Watts says she's excited to stay longer, but she doesn't plan to permanently leave Fort Worth. She hopes to move to a different spot on West 7th or at least somewhere else within the city.
"I really love how vibrant the area is," she said. "It's an exciting place to be."
The West 7th mixed-use development is Savor Patisserie's second location. The original shop is located in Casa Linda Plaza in Dallas. The shop offers 13 different flavors of homemade, gluten-free French macarons with an additional four to six flavors that are changed monthly. Customers" favorites include salted caramel, red velvet, s"mores and birthday cake. Watts even offers classes for those who want to learn how to bake these flavors themselves.
