I consider myself to be pretty picky when it comes to French macaron. Yeah, I've been to Paris a…read morecouple of times. I've been to the big world famous places and had them from the source, not just in their U.S. expansion locations. Let me tell you this. The macaron at The Blu Kitchen, this tiny little place with barely any operating hours at all, from a quality of product perspective is making delicious little morsels that compare favorably with the world's best. Some of the flavors, I'm looking at you salted caramel, are even better than what I had abroad. Of course, there are others that fall short. Notably the ones with sprinkles. However, I am told by Adina they are big sellers with the local crowd. Mon dieu. Arrive early on Saturday for the best selection. Things will sell out. But this is the cost of great food. Comparing the macaron here to others available locally, these are better than that preciously cute store in downtown Ann Arbor. The flavors are true. The textures are perfect. And they far surpass that Detroit pastry chef guy who makes other great things but whose macaron leave me disheartened. Macaron are pretty pricey for a little cookie. But when they are good, they are worth every penny. Why? Because they encapsulate a pursuit of perfection. As a small bite, they need to pack a flavorful punch. That flavor comes from the center. But here's the trick, that center cannot overshadow the rest of the confection. It has to blend seamlessly into the textures of the crisp outer shell, which coalesces into a tender almond flour interior, and that dense creamy middle. At one of the famous places in Paris, the filling was just far too stiff and produced a jarring effect. This can happen on occasion to the best macaron bakers and Adina is no exception. But her pursuit of perfection and attention to detail in every element of production are extraordinary. This review has been a long time coming and serves as a reminder to me that I need to get back to Plymouth for another fix. It's been far too long, and I saw on the gram I just missed coconut caramel. Dang it. If you are a macaron fan, you owe it to yourself to get some of these in your mouth. You can thank me later. Just skip the ones with the sprinkles, and maybe if enough of us buy the better unadorned versions, Adina will stop pandering to the crowd and make the world class treats I know she can.

Cutest little store ever! This is only a to-go shop, so…read moreworth it! I follow them on FB so i knew the flavors of the day! also, if you call that same day, they will set them a side for you! I love their creme brulee macaroons $2.50! soft and just perfect! they are pink in the outside and they have pieces of burnt sugar on the inside! i tried a pistachio and that was good but the other ones blew me away. They have special marshmallows, bars(i had a smores bar, she torch the marshmallow and it was amazing i wanted seconds.,..) and ice cream macaroons-( cant wait to try those). different goodies= different days great customer service clean place excited to go back for more!!!

We were visiting friends in AnnArbor and were downtown and wanted a treat after some shopping…read more They took us here which is a fave of theirs it's a really cute little shop with nice seating, French themed decor and a welcoming staff. The case of macarons was beautiful , multicolored rows of well labelled flavors. We each made some selections and ordered some drinks. Our hosts ordered a large French press pot to share. I had time to speak with staff about the last k of space for baking and how they arrived at so many flavors. They do not bake onsite but receive frozen shipments from the main bakery in Grand Rapids as handiest the Holland, Michigan store. They defrost enough each for each day so they never run out of flavors. They were some of best I have ever had. Nothing like what you might find in the bakery section of a grocer. This is an historic residential building retrofit with a nice conversion to retail without losing its charming brickwork. I will definitely return when next in Ann Arbor.

I've wanted to stop by but always had planned activities elsewhere. Until today…read more The shop is beautiful: exposed brick walls, small marble-topped tables, petite vases filled with flowers, sparkly chandeliers, and a garland of pink and white flowers. It's so appealing. The macarons displayed in the case were equally appealing. I don't recall all the flavors, but I had a tough time picking out flavors for my friend and, of course, something for me. I chose three macarons to enjoy at the shop: blueberry, coconut, and strawberry cheesecake. I liked the delicate crack of the macaron shells and the creamy, flavorful centers. Each sported a design to distinguish itself from the others further. I also had a piping hot Earl Gray tea along with these treats. Espresso, French and Italian sodas, and lattes are also available. Customers stopped in throughout my visit for a quick purchase or to savor their macarons at nearby tables. Service was disappointing.

My favorite place in Ann Arbor!!! This shop has expanded so much over the years and I'm glad to see…read moreit flourishing. They have an INCREDIBLE selection of teas, pastries and assorted home goods. Fueled by local artists and tea lovers, their gift-shop is the perfect place to get a unique gift for a loved one. Fun fact! The owners helped co-write "Tea for Dummies"! Several gluten free options- I had the almond cake and it was to die for! Staff is very helpful and will let you smell all the teas you'd like. We ended up going home with several 100g bags to stock up for fall. The Tea is available in 50g, 100g, and 200g amounts and priced by blend. Most of them are between $6-10 per 50g. Very reasonably priced! Parking is street parking. There are meters directly out front, and around all sides of the building.

Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed when I came in. There's a tea bar area, the loose leaf tea wall, pastries and other desserts, swag, a tasting area, and apparently it was trivia night tonight. I experienced all of this in just the first minute or two of entering. And it was packed! I really appreciate the time taken to explain the shop to me and walk me through many of the teas. Although they were busy, I didn't feel rushed (there were 2-3 people working the registers) and it felt very personal chatting. I was able to smell a bunch, and could really tell the differences in them. I ended up getting 3 50g bags and 2 sample bags, plus some stickers and pins. Really excited to try these out. Their range goes from darker to lighter, and they have a wide variety of black, green, rooibos, and herbal teas/blends.

It's very small with only a few tables, but most folks are carrying-out. I had a tasty white chocolate mocha, but easily could go for a cappuccino, latte or americano. Mrs. E. recommends one of their wonderful bubble tea drinks, sweet potato, to be exact. I'm curious to try their vanilla bean on the next visit. Enjoy Macaroons, Macarons and Mochi. They also have fresh baked cookies and my favourite, moon cakes. They've created a clean, cozy little nook that's well decorated and conveniently located. 07/26

From their cakes and cookies, to their parfaits and macaroons, everything just hits. On a most recent visit, I tried their biscoff parfait and it was a show stopper. It was hard for me to enjoy my Matilda chocolate cake (though I managed) knowing that I had more biscoff parfait to eat. They do coffee and other assorted beverages as well, but those are just support for the real stars of the show here, their desserts. I cannot say one bad thing I have had here (though a friend of mine says their cinnamon rolls were underwhelming). OVERALL - a great ending to an evening, or a destination unto itself. Get some, now!

The cake looked great and had the graham (I might have imagined it), marshmallow, and chocolate flavor elements in each bite, but it ran a bit dry and sweeter than I prefer. I'm in the "less sugar is more" minority, so most people might be fine with it. I guess I should have expected it given the name. The iced matcha latte used decent matcha and tasted light and pleasant, no grit. Inside, it is all pastels and cake themed accents, with the general vibe of "yeah, there are macarons here." The real plus is being near Little Caesars Arena in the newer development area, which makes it convenient for grabbing a treat and a drink while downtown.
