Stopped by Maca’s booth at Fluff Fest and picked up a box with 6 different macarons. Service was quick and easy, and the staff was super friendly. So far I’ve tried the key lime and the s’mores and both were very good! Excited to try the rest.
yummy macas and bubble tea!! such a cute shop, love the little trinkets as well.
Cuite! I appreciate the overall experience, but honestly, I found that most of the flavors taste quite similar, which made me feel like I was paying a bit more to enjoy similar tastes. The matcha didn't seem to showcase its characteristic bitterness, and the lavender was more or less just purple rather than offering a distinct flavor. The cookies and cream was quite vanilla-like. On the positive side, the texture was spot on. The place is very aesthetically pleasing and cute, which adds to the charm. It might benefit from a bit more attention to detail, but overall, it's fairly average for the area.
Tamy took the vision for my sister-in-laws shower and created stunning shell cookies that were not only beautiful, but also delicious! They were a huge hit. She was very responsive, attentive, and took all my emails and photos and whipped up something beautiful. We will be back for more macarons! Thank you for making the day special, Tamy! 💫
The owner is absolutely lovely, and you can tell she puts so much love and care into her macarons. Every holiday she features yummy seasonal flavored macarons that will charm your socks off. I appreciate that she has things clearly labeled and marked as gluten free (I’m Celiac unfortunately, thanks genetics) but luckily I don’t miss out here. I stop by Bow Market during my lunch breaks sometimes and the owner always says hello.
The owner is so nice and accomodating! They made a special batch made with coconut flour instead of almond so my allergic sisters can finally try one! Also shipping was super fast! So thankful I found this store!

Maca is the best. Tamy puts her heart and soul into everything about this business and it shows. She makes it cute, delicious, and the perfect texture. The rotating flavors keep you on your toes for what’s next, but my all time favorite is an everything bagel maca ? We’ve also gotten custom maca cakes on multiple occasions; it’s a great way to celebrate. So happy we found this gem many years ago and that we can continue to order even though we moved away!

I’ve been getting Macas from Tamy since 2020 and will single-handedly eat all 12 as soon as I get them. So delicious, wonderful flavors, and perfect texture. Don’t forget to let them come to temperature if you store yours in the fridge!

Maca is absolutely incredible!! These are by far the best macarons in Boston. The flavors are always exciting and inspired by themes and cultures which I love. This is a small business and each and every Maca is hand piped and you can really tell. Definitely recommend visiting ASAP!

This is honestly the only place I get macarons from in the entirety of New England (or anywhere really). I always go here every time I visit Bow Market, because Tamy (the owner) always has the coolest flavors!! like taro, milk tea, lychee raspberry, and pandan!! She had Korean banana milk flavored macarons at some point.
Also, her macarons are shaped with cute themes!! For Lunar New Year, she made macarons shaped as cute lanterns and lucky kitties!! For Valentines Day, her macarons were shaped as hearts with cute small messages on them. I remember during winter her macarons were shaped like snowmen and reindeers. Like too cute to eat honestly.. But I had to.

Been to France. Had macarons everywhere. And I swear on the French flag you won’t find a better one anywhere else in Boston! 20/10.

I visited Maca at Bow Market for the first time for a company event and it was soooo cute! Store owned by Tamy and the flavors and ideas she has are awesome. I also make macarons at home and they are not the easiest dessert to make so I very much appreciate the art and skill it takes to make them. They are super yummy and not at all chewy which is easy to do if not careful. I wish I was in the area more but I'll definitely be making special trips out to Bow and stopping in to see what flavors Tamy has up her sleeve (have you seen the macaron filling stuffed croissants she just did?! Incredible). Follow her on social media or stop in!

I have been coming to Tamy for all my macaron needs, for years now. And I’ve never been disappointed- from “old standby” flavors that I grab every time, to unique flavors and character macarons… I enjoy them all! You can’t go wrong- tasty treats with friendly, personal service.

I’ve frequented this shop on multiple occasions and I can not understate how outstanding not only the quality of the macarons are but the customer service I have been repeatedly shown. Would highly recommend.
