Every single item in the dessert case is up for grabs until midnight on Friday and Saturday in Uptown and 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturday at the new Park Road spot, but at the original NoDa location, there’s literally no limit to when you can get your fix, as it’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. By the way, those macarons are so good, they had a Hollywood moment in The Hunger Games. And the SCB? They’ve sold over 1.4 million since 2014.
