I chose macarons (of course) and he chose mini cupcakes. I'd been Instagram stalking Macarons A Go-Go for years, so our wedding was the perfect opportunity to finally order from them. And why just go with boring (but still great) round ones, but go with character ones instead? I'm a huge Studio Ghibli and tokidoki fan, so I requested Totoro and the tkdk honey bear, as well as a regular round one in salted caramel, lemon, and mango guava. They were super responsive and really patient when I couldn't make up my mind about flavors, characters, etc. They also delivered the macarons to our venue and set them in a display stand. They looked (and tasted) amazing! I am already looking forward to our next event so I could order more!!!

Hmmm what to say about Macaron a Go-Go (MAGG)? Well I'll be honest and I have an affiliation with…read morethe owner. I'm willing to admit this because well you want my honest opinion and you'll get it. But know this I'm no slouch when it comes to reviews even if I know you. As a matter of fact I'm giving MAGG their first 4-star rating (all are 5 at the time of this writing) You'll understand shortly. First off the creator behind MAGG, Van, is a connoisseur (bordering obsessed) of many things exotically sweet. If she decides to tackle things its with zest (like her Myer Lemon Macs) and reckless abandon (to my waste lines) but leaves you wanting more. Fortunately she did this with Macarons and now presenting it us so we are lucky for it. She's also a sweetheart to-boot. OK enough about that...now about these fancy cookies... At first the MAGG creations were so-so but after trial and error and hundreds of tastings later, I'm extremely satisfied to say that they are just a delight to enjoy. Every flavor I have tried has been on point. Myer Lemon, Spiced Pumpkin, Fleur Del Sel Caramel and Black Sesame were some of the standouts. The flavors stay true to their name and why wouldn't it be when it's fresh natural ingredients. She says she doesn't use food coloring and I'm just bewildered because they are not only a delight to eat but also look at with their vibrance and beauty (never thought I'd use those words to describe a cookie.) Texture wise the shell is crispy to a snap on initial bite moving inward to a chewy center and then finally the amazing flavored inner cream. I swear if I could "oreo" these cookies and lick out the cream I would but the eating them as a whole is what experience a macaron is about and MAGG does that well. Before I didn't even take notice of a macaron simply because they never really made an impression. Now that I have been re-introduced to them I have sought out and compared many others to MAGG and well they definitely hold their own if not blow out most Bay Area bakeries through the flavors. Now for the reason for the 4 stars, these damn things are on a rarity. You want to collect them as much as you want to eat them. Right now MAGG is only available through special order or in Burlingame Farmer's Market. I just wished there was more places to get them at or one place that had them available all the time since I'm not spoiled with tastings at gatherings anymore. If you are into Macarons then you will definitely need to check out Macarons A Go-Go. As a fringe benefit you'll also be supporting a local small business and great person. Highly recommended (when you can find them)!

Their stand had a lot of different offerings, but none seemed to really peak my interest. Just seemed like a mom and pop on retirement and they wanted to make extra cash by making substandard treats. I got their turon, sumon, and the ube flan cake. Their turon wasn't that great, mines didn't have any jack fruit so it was on the dry side. The sumons were odd; I wasn't hankering for another bite. The flan cake fell flat for me as well. I like a really custardy flan, but this one was more like jello. I rather just go to Valerio's.

Here's a list of what they sell: Ube streusel Ube milky cheese roll Ube senorita Ube binko Ube flan cake Ube Sesame balls Ube doughnuts Ube swirl bars Ube brownies Ube crinkles Do you see a theme here? Lol. Okay, so we got their ube rice krispy and ube Sesame balls. Both were extremely dried out and tasted like they were made several days ago. They didn't taste fresh. The rice krisoy really didn't have much of an Ube flavor, and it was very tough to chew. The Sesame balls were worse. We had to cut it with a sharp knife and chew it like bubble gum. After eating one ball, we threw the rest away. They were NOT crispy and lightly chewy like they're supposed to be. It's hard as a rock and teeth breaking. Would not buy again.

food here was pretty solid! they serve both banh mi & pho which is not what our place back home…read moredoes. it was nice to have both options. service was fine. they were polite and kind, though clearly more interested in watching TV than checking up on guests. i appreciate their efforts nonetheless! there are no extra silverware or sauce cups provided at the tables; you have to request them for some. same goes with napkins. as for the food itself, the pho was REALLY generous. i was surprised to find so much tendon, tripe, and meat. i finished my noodles before i could get through all the protein, which is never the case for me! the broth was excellent, though we noticed it wasn't clear like traditional pho is served. while it did not affect the flavor, it was interesting. the building is relatively small but still big enough to maintain privacy at each table. overall, it is a decent restaurant. it has its hiccups, but the food is very good. a little pricier than what we're used to, but it all delivered!
