Le Bon, more like LeBron bought them from Amazon. The employees, simply magnificent. However, the macaroons need some work. They were too soft, too dry, too flavorful, and also too hard. Thanks for amazing experience Le Bon Macaron

Polite people and tasty tiny cookies. A nice treat or, in my case, gift for grandma. They even asked if I wanted my box gift wrapped without prompting. They know their stuff.

“Charming café vibes and a soda so good I’m making my own at home.”
Le Bon Macaron is an absolute gem—a charming little French-inspired café that instantly makes you want to slow down, sip something sweet, and soak in the ambiance. They offer a lovely assortment of teas, coffees, flavored lattes, handcrafted sodas, and an array of beautifully displayed desserts.
Although “macaron” is in the name (and they looked incredibly tempting), I didn’t try any on this visit. The vibrant, bright colors gave me pause since I tend to avoid artificial dyes, and when I asked, the staff wasn’t certain if synthetic dyes were used. That said, the display was stunning, and they offer a wide variety of flavors—including seasonal and holiday collections. If it turns out they use plant-based or natural colorants, I’d love to return and try a few!
This time, I opted for a handcrafted French soda with their house-made blackberry syrup—and wow. Not only was the presentation lovely, but the flavor was so fresh and balanced. Knowing the syrup was made from scratch gave it that extra artisanal touch. At $5.50, it felt totally fair for the quality and care that went into it.
While waiting, I took in the space: clean, softly lit, and cozy with an inviting feel. It’s the kind of place you want to sit and stay awhile. Had I ordered more than just a drink, I definitely would’ve settled in to enjoy the vibe.
I’m not local to the area, but this place made such a great impression that I’ll absolutely go out of my way to visit again if I’m ever nearby. That soda even inspired me to try making my own syrup at home—so I’d say it left its mark!
Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys thoughtfully made treats in a beautiful, welcoming space.

My orders are always prepared with careful attention. The shop is just beautiful and the girls who serve behind the cafe counter are very kind. It is always a pleasant place to visit. My daughter and I love to stop in to the pretty pink store for a tasty macaron! The macarons also make a lovely gift idea!

These are the best macarons I have ever had!! When I was in college, I went to the east Lansing location (closed) at least once a week! I now live in Colorado but still think about these macarons often. Every time I go to back Michigan I make sure I stop by le bon.
Beautiful people and food!
So wonderful!
Everything about Le Bon, from their products, team, atmosphere, everything, has been top notch for years! I’ve been a customer since day 1 and highly recommend everyone give them a try! Some of my favorite macarons are their rose raspberry, lemon, and salted caramel flavors!
Fabulous! And bonus, they make exceptional lattes.

Best macarons!! so delicious and consistently good. Love the shop too and the coffee!
Great service and delicious macarons!! It's always so cute and clean in there also!
Le Bon Macaron was the perfect addition to Holland. It’s an adorable shop with delicious macarons and perfect coffee accompaniments. I love being able to snack on my favorite macarons while strolling through the downtown area.
We adore this shop! My daughter begs for it to be our first Michigan stop! We always think we’ve found a favorite flavor and then the next time we find something even more delicious. We also love the fundraising the owners daughter does for the zoo. Such a fun example for my own daughter about giving back.
Poor customer service. They must think it's acceptable to be rude and disregard their customers by allowing rude staff to work here. I'm also not sure how they manage to stay in business when they fail to respond to emails.
