Bonne Vie Macarons (BVM), previously located at 2040 Verot School Road, is baking up a sweet comeback. With the return of BVM, they will also launch a new venture under the same roof called Book Club & Co., which will be Lafayette’s first romance-focused bookstore. The new BVM location will be at 105 St. Landry St., inside the former Rusted Rooster space. The new concept will merge a love for fine desserts with a passion for spicy romance literature.

The new space will feature Bonne Vie Macarons’ signature handcrafted French macarons alongside an expanded range of desserts, and lots of pink! In addition, Book Club & Co. will offer a carefully curated selection of romantic novels, including everything from lighthearted rom-coms to slow-burn dramas. Guests can also look forward to a variety of community events, including book club meetups, author sessions, themed nights, and more. BVM Book Club & Co. will also host three popular book clubs—the Romance Book Club, Mystery Book Club, and Cookbook Club—solidifying its role as an engaged community space.

Since beginning in a home kitchen in 2017, Bonne Vie Macarons has grown into a loved local business known for its dedication to quality and community. The new location, previously home to Rusted Rooster & Pizza Hut, is a prime spot near downtown Lafayette, the Oil Center, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and St. John’s Cathedral. In a commitment to fostering local collaboration, the business has partnered with prominent women-owned small businesses, including Graze Acadiana, Nube 9 Coffee, and Sunny Akers Bread.
The new Bonne Vie Macarons & Book Club & Co. is tentatively set to open in early spring 2025. The opening will feature fun events, exclusive sneak peeks, and plenty of opportunities to explore your new favorite hangout!
