L'Artisan Gourmet Parisian Macarons

Top Pro

Consistent, quality texture

No air bubbles, perfectly crisp shells over chewy, moist center. See More

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. See More

Top 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). See More

Top Pro

Reasonably priced

Between $2-$3 per Macaron, depending on order count, which is at or below competitor prices. See More

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. See More

Storefronts in Palo Alto, SoMA, and Hayes Valley. Many also sell tea and have cafe space to enjoy Macarons. See More
