Very aesthetic inside the store. Bought a dozen macarons, but they were nothing to write home about. The Oreo and pistachio ones were decent. The salted caramel tasted burnt and too salty. The raspberry marshmallow one tasted like bbq chips more than raspberry. It’s not worth the price.
Happily surprise by the pumpkin croissant. It is not the typical spice, it is pure pumpkin not too sweet.

Unfortunately I feel like this place lost its charm when it moved to the new location :( I don’t know the ins and outs of the move of course but the old location was so quaint with the baked goods in the window and the old city charm. This new location is grey and white inside— owners not working. Just meh

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then you should definitely visit ICI Macaroons! They have a huge assortment of macaroons with fun labors like pistachio and Oreos n cream. They also have an impressive selection of baked goods like cream-filled cruffins (croissant muffin). I had the Philly Cream cruffin and it was bonkers good.

I happened to be in Old City and was looking for a cafe open around 5pm. Most had already closed and ICI Macarons & Cafe was still open. While there I noticed the large display of macarons, but they also had pastries. More interested in the pastries I asked the barista about which pastries she recommended. She suggested the ABC if you like sweet croissants. It’s almond, banana chocolate croissant. In addition, to the pastry I ordered I got the passion fruit green tea. Both of the items I ordered were delicious. The passion fruit green tea balanced both flavors so neither was overpowering. My one gripe with the ABC was not warming it up. Other than that, the banana and chocolate worked really nicely. The almonds were there for texture and they didn’t add much flavor. I want to go back at an earlier time to try the rest of pastries.

Ac NOT Working. Too hot inside
That ube mochi croissant is easily the best croissant I've ever had (in Philly, on the east coast, in Europe, whatever), and I cannot wait till their new location opens in the fall! Also, I'm just in love with coffeeshops that offer espresso tonics; one of favorite iced beverages ☺

Love ICI! First time I went was about 2 years ago and fell in love with it. I went back recently and told the woman working how much I loved it. She ended up giving me a free macaron because I told her how much I loved them! So sweet! Every single flavor is delicious. My favorite is the lime basil!!

Best pastries I've ever had (and trust me when I say I've eaten a lot of pastries) ?. Cold and hot drinks were excellent, too.

Such a cute cafe that specializes in macarons, french pastries and coffee. I love that they have so many different macaron options. I also enjoyed my latte! Definitely a sweet spot for when you’re walking around old city area.
