    A lot of options, but the food looked poorly made and the macaroons didn't taste that good. The…read moremiddle of the macaroon wasn't great either, it was almost like it had no real filling, just soggy and not very satisfying. They also didn't have much of a taste. They also had a large menu but only a few of them were actually in the store. It was very understocked. They did have clear gluten labels though, which was helpful. Overall, it's too expensive for the poor quality and I didn't even finish the ones I bought

Went here and the only thing that kinda bummed me out was the service. The employee was either having a bad day or just wasn't feeling it at all. Idk. We worked with it b/c in the end we just wanted our macaron. Overall, the prices were a bit high, but the macarons were delicious. In the end we would come back but when we looked for dessert the next evening, we definitely chose ice cream instead. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 3 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Ambiance: Modern little dessert place that's nestled in Cambridge. It's small but serves it's purpose Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no

    This event was SO BAD...PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO RIOT! It was…read moreopen ONLY 12-5:00, but the LINES WERE 2 HOURS LONG. The staff was stressed & hostile to the attendees in line, and the people leaving said booths RAN OUT OF FOOD by 2:00. I never even got in & emailed for a refund...we shall see... We showed up around 1:30, and the line was all the way around the corner of the "mall" inside the Westin hotel. We joined the end, assuming people were backed up getting their tickets checked on the way in. Then, I look up and see and guy in a suit with a name tag, about half way up the line, talking to ticket holders. I sent my friend up to see what he was saying, and was informed he told that group they wouldn't be letting them, or anyone in line after them, into the event for 2 HOURS! I walked up to talk to the man, but rushed away, telling people to "go to Neiman Marcus with all questions." What on Earth does that mean? Where in NM do we go? I went to the front of the line, where I saw a girl in a jacket with a name tag, and asked her if the 2 HOUR WAIT was true, since this event only ran until 5PM, and it was already past 1:30. She was obviously already angry and was EXTREMELY HOSTILE & RUDE. She tried to simply ignore my questions, but I repeated them politely, and added "I purchased tickets in advance." "EVERYBODY PURCHASED TICKETS IN ADVANCED!" she spat back at me. "We didn't overbook the event, ANTHEM did, so call them for your refund," she added in exasperation. I asked the obvious next, "who is ANTHEM & how do I contact them...Is the number on my ticket?" She rolled her eyes and sighed out "I don't know...you can look it up on the internet." At this point the line was antsy and agitated, and I didn't want to surround myself in that negative energy for 2 hours. Then, the group in front of us got let in...after we were told noone would be. I look up and see droves of attendees leaving early. Listening into their conversations, I heard several offer the advice "don't bother" and "1/2 the tables are out of food already," and it was ONLY 2:00. None of this was enticing me to wait in line any longer. A man in a jacket made another announcement. Now he claimed we'd be let into the event in ONE HOUR, at 3:00...or we could apply for a FULL REFUND. Again, I approached the snarky girl in the jacket, as I saw she was giving refund instructions to another group. I saw she had ANTHEM and a number written down, and simply asked to copy it. She snapped at me, "fine...but it would be quicker for you to just Google it!" In what world is it quicker to look a number up on Google than copy one down in person. I realize she was stressed, and possibly underpaid too, but...MANNERS ARE FREE.

    The idea here is fantastic. The execution was a failure…read more You may notice, the good reviews come from the folks who showed up at 11 and then at least some of them state the bad reviews are from folks who showed up at three. Well, I was there at noon. By noon, the line was already through the walkey into Copley and out the door by Neiman Marcus. I had a friend in line already, so you could say, in essense, my party was there at 11:30 and my place in line started in the glass enclosed walkway. Folks in line behind me got turned away. Scores of people. It was ridiculous, but my friend and I got in and let's talk about the event from there. It's not the vendors fault, although some where more prepared than others (thank you Konditor Meister!), but it was ridiculous inside. TOO many people. The crowd was very poorly regulated, you have to fight ot get to tables that you didn't know what was on them until you got to them and often found them already empty. It was a complete shit show. Nobody bothered to decorate the space in any way either. It's was a mess to walk around in. Trash cans were overfilled. Event staff was... where? Also, the VIP tickets were a joke. They came with a bag of "goodies" that were really coupons and advertisements and a single bag of chips. POTATO CHIPS. This was a dessert showcase, remember? Giant waste of money and not worth the wait, no matter what deal you got to get in. It would be my heartiest recommendation not to waste your time with this ever. ---- Unrelated to Anthem or the venue, I'd like to say to the greedy cow in front of the Konditor Meister table that snuck into the event (I saw you, I know what you did) and then pushed people out of the way so she could stand there and shove cake in her mouth - eff you. No, I take that back, you have a problem lady and should get help. You know who you are. Actually, I love you. You make for a great story.

    We got the chocolate and passion fruit scoops - excellent. The passion fruit was nice and tangy…read more The seeds made it slightly crunchy too. The mango was exceptional but the mascarpone-fig was underwhelming - could barely taste the fig. We went on a Saturday evening and it was crowded but the staff also seemed a bit overwhelmed and confused by the crowd. However, once we put the order in, we got it fairly quick. Very little seating inside.

    So, this is a cozy little spot my bestie introduced me to from which one can grab a sweet treat or…read moretwo (or several). It sits comfortably on the corner of JFK and Winthrop Street, right in the midst of Harvard Square. Which figures because this place is bougie as hell! Just the same, we're eternally grateful to have met its acquaintance. Because this place is the real deal when it comes to macarons. Ya know how some grocery stores sell macarons in a box or something? Yeah, those are basically the generic version compared to the ones sold here. These ones are on another level entirely! We got the variety pack, of course. And so far, my top two personal favorite flavors are the Tiramisú and Chocolate Amorino. The experience tasting these is impossible to describe in words worthy enough to dignify. Let's just say....it's enough to ascend your consciousness into low orbit. The process of ordering is simple enough or strangely foreign (no pun intended), depending on if you're a Zoomer or a Boomer, respectively. They use kiosks. Exclusively. It's a little weird, because there is what appears to be a main register with people standing behind it. Only their main task is to prepare your order and call out your name once it's ready. This is better, IMHO because talking to people is hard (sometimes). I dunno what it is. But most times, it seems easier to get the details of an order right when it's neatly selected and typed out on a screen. Besides, tap-to-pay is where it's at. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what Gelato is, it's a specific type of Italian ice cream. Without getting into the exact percentages of the various lactose components it's made of, that's the simplest way I can explain it. *Obligatory disclaimer: I am not an ice creamologist. I think this is gonna be our dessert spot whenever we venture back to Cambridge. And next time, I am SO getting my own 12 pack of macarons with my two favorite flavors in it. No doubt about it, Amorino Gelato is worth 5 creamy Tiramisú macarons transcending my cortex beyond the stratosphere out of 5.
