Pro Consistent, quality texture
No air bubbles, perfectly crisp shells over chewy, moist center.
Pro 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).
Pro Reasonably priced
Between $2-$3 per Macaron, depending on order count, which is at or below competitor prices.
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.
Pro Consistently changing flavors
Lots of seasonal and holiday flavors in addition to perennial favorites such as Almond Amaretto and Salted Caramel
Con 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.
Pro Taste as good as they look
Good balance of design and taste.
Con Smaller flavor selection
Though of the flavors they offer, they do well.
Pro All natural
No usage of food coloring.
Con Dull look
Due to the lack of food coloring, these Macarons feel grayscale to what people are used to.
