Macarons were great. We especially loved the lemon meringue flavor. We also tried the chocolate twist which was very flaky and delicious. The atmosphere is very calming which is great for relaxing or working. Would love to come back soon.

Lovely French pastry shop off Franklin Blvd, in Chapel Hill. Everything looked delicious. It was a pit stop after visiting UNC hospital. Glad we came upon it.

Shop was clean and pretty. All of the macarons and desserts looked yummy.We got 3 macarons to go- as you can see in the picture she must have grabbed ones from back- the were nothing like the ones in the front of the case, they were small and uneven.The orange chocolate tasted mostly like chocolate.

Pricy, unimpressive desserts. While walking Franklin street we stopped here for a quick dessert. The store was open, bright, and welcoming. No customers were at the counter so we ordered right away. The display case was full of desserts that sounded delicious. We decided on 3 macarons. I wish I had ordered only one since the total came to over $9! Plus they were not uniform in size or quality. The two orange chocolate macarons we ordered were significantly different in size. The rose macaron was my favorite. It was pretty, texture was okay, and the rose flavor came through. The orange chocolate macaron surprisingly lacked flavor and did not look good. They were definitely not worth the price paid for them. Unfortunately I would not recommend going here for macarons, but perhaps the others desserts are better.

Hubby and I stopped in one afternoon for coffee and pastry. The space was nice and uncrowded and played good music. A student came in for coffee and a table next to us to study. The coffee was good but they did not have any sugar (real sugar, not the fake stuff - Splenda). The server seemed unaffected by my pleas for the real stuff. The student agreed with me. We shared a Napoleon with our coffee. It was quite cold and the icing was a solid piece of sugar. After breaking our plastic fork, we had to remove the icing brick and break it in half with our hands. I added some to my coffee. ;) The Napoleon was tasty but not fresh. It was obvious that it had been frozen. The pastry layers were compressed by the freezing. If you want fresh pastry, this is not your place.

Got a fresh box as a gift, and boy were they delicious. Perfect crispy crust, not stale at all, creamy fillings. My only complaint would be overall high level of sweetness, but that's my complaint with macarons in general (I can't honestly tell the difference between half the flavors).

What an amazing spot! The most wonderful macarons and luscious gelato. Try the vanilla and the salted caramel wow. Support small businesses like this, handmade pastries!

We hired Le Macaron to deliver favors for our wedding. The macarons were delivered exactly as we had planned with a sign to depict each of the flavors! Each macaron was individually packaged with our choice of ribbon and tag. They tasted fresh and were a big hit for our guests as they left for the evening. We highly recommend Le Macaron as your wedding favor vendor!

My favorite place to do Homework on Franklin, while having a delicious Capuccino (and sometimes a sweet treat too). They have great music playing 24/7 and chill atmosphere. The workers are so welcoming and helpful.
