Absolutely terrible experience and will never be returning. My family and I wanted to spend this sunday trying a new place, only to be extremely dissatisfied in the end. The only positive thing I have to say is the decoration of the place was very cute. Other than that, the staff was very impertinent and unprofessional, one in particular who was annoyed and short just because it was our first visit, and we had questions about the menu/ what to order. There were barley any selections of desserts available. A nearly empty case as a first impression is very underwhelming. Apparently the majority of them were in the back kept frozen and needed to be defrosted….? Talk about poor quality. Also, knowing that the desserts are not fresh doesn’t sit right with me. To top it all off, when we asked for silverware, they gave us two dirty knives in a row. I have never in my life experienced something like this in a cafe/ restaurant. Disgusting. The coffees and pastries we ordered were mediocre at best. Not much flavor, you’re better off at Einsteins bagels right next door. Please save your money and skip this place.

A nice looking place with tasteless goods and the rudest people working there. This teenager with a dirty nose seemed to be annoyed that we are asking questions about the menu...well... sorry that we bothered you in your work trying to pay for your services. Dirty silverware was the final touch...
A terrible first impression... and a sure never again....

We went there for the first time to never come back. Decor and appearance of the place are exquisite but the service is horrible. First impressions are the most important experience we get from a place and this one will be a place to never go back to. To start with there wasn’t enough display of the sweets. So I had to ask questions about what they had despite of the small menu displayed only at the checkout. Also the girl felt annoyed by having to answer questions about their menu. No sympathy whatsoever. The sweets were tasteless and the utensils were dirty. Never again going back.

Delightful little shop with delish gelato, pastry, truffles, authentic French beinets, and, of course, macaroons! Very cheery tables, chairs, and even a love seat.

We were extremely disappointed with our experience. I ordered a macaron tower for a special occasion: 45 macarons for $126 + a $30 deposit for the tower (which you get back if you return the tower within 3 days). Ordering, picking up, and the initial service were easy. The place is adorable, as well. However, we were not happy at all when we open the boxes to find the macarons in complete disarray. I've attached pictures. Many of them we didn't even display they were so messed up. When I returned the tower to get my deposit back, I shared our disappointment and showed the pictures. The gals working were very apologetic. They assured me the owner would be in touch. (It’s been 3 weeks and they haven’t been.) Moral of the story - make sure you open your boxes before you leave the store! I would not want someone else to be this disappointed!

Very much a fast food chain store. You may like it but it didn't appeal to us.

What a cute bakery! My daughter wanted to try macarons and they actually have samples there you can try before buying. There were other pastries and artisan chocolates there as well, it’s an impressive selection, especially for an out of the way spot in a shopping plaza. The employee at the counter was really knowledgeable and took the time to discuss the items I was considering. It’s a really nice spot, definitely recommend checking it out if you’re interested in some fancy little desserts!!

Macarons were just okay. A few of them were VERY hard, like maybe they were over cooked.

Great space and food. Enjoy changing up my coffee selection and, of course, the macarons.

I was looking up pastries near me when I came across a pistachio eclair. I made a visit to Le Macaron French Pastries with my mother and son and was pleasantly surprised. We tried the mint chocolate chip ice cream, the hazelnut filled puffs, some chocolates, and macarons. It was all very delicious and at an affordable price. Highly recommend bringing children, friends, and family.

Kid-friendliness: My son is 3 years old and he was free to run around and be a boy around the store without anyone making us feel uncomfortable. Great serving sizes for children as well.

Ordered a coffee and two croissants. The coffee was warm, not hot and the croissants were very dry and seemed to be day old as no flavor. Will not go back.
