Intense, exotic flavors

•••
Over two dozen regular flavors, plus more special rotational flavors. Each flavor really tastes like the real thing (especially kona coffee, earl grey, lemon).

Reasonably priced

Top Con

Lack of storefront

•••
Although selected flavors are available at most Whole Foods, ordering online for the packaged versions are a real hit or miss. The box of 48 in particular, can come quite squished, due to the unstructured boxes.

Presentation sometimes trumps taste

Macarons can feel more airy, and the flavor profiles don't come across as beautifully as the look of the Macaron would convey.
