Pistachio Cherry Bar, $3.95 (I think) - 3 Stars
Eva M.

Lady Yum opened a much larger shop in the Village at Totem Lake, replacing another bakery. Compared to the OG in downtown Kirkland, this location is maybe 3x the size with multiple tables to enjoy sweets and drinks, and shop amongst their gift items. The décor is café cute without being overtly IG-centric. This location has coffee and basic liquor, such as a glass of champagne. When we arrived at 12:30pm, only one person is working, and we were the only customers. Service was warm and friendly. Food wise, Lady Yum is renowned locally for their macarons. I noticed recently they are selling brownie, cookie, and blondie bars. This store has them, too. The newest offerings are petits gâteaux (little cakes). These are all entremet types, or mousse cake. They have a small cake at the bottom, a mousse dome, a glossy finish, plus decorations. They are beautiful. P.S. Costco sells their gift cards at a discount now. The Food: The Dark Swan, $10 - 5 Stars Description: chocolate fudge cake, chocolate cremaux, bittersweet cocoa nib streusel, milk chocolate mousse This divine mini cake is as tasty as it is pretty. Modeled after French pastries, they are pretty darn close to what I remember in Paris. It tasted freshly made. The outer chocolate layer is surprisingly liquid-like. The server snapped on a clear dome and placed in an iridescent box; the Dark Swan transported to home perfectly fine. Pistachio Cherry Bar, $3.95 (I think) - 3 Stars Sweet and sour, this bar wasn't a fav. Sweet from the sugar, tangy sour from the cherries, it didn't sing one way or another. Macarons, $3 each - 4.5 Stars I have enjoyed their macarons since the OG store. I still tell folks about them. For this visit, I chose Irish chocolate, passionfruit, and lemon. $3 each is getting up there in price.

This location is a new one for Lady Yum. It replaced another sweet shop. So it was a pleasant surprise when I was in the area and I saw it... and who can resist a macaron so I went in Like all of the Lady Yum shops, the macarons are always consistently amazing regardless of where you go. And in my opinion, the best I've had of anywhere I've been. The outside has the perfect amount of softness and crunch combined. And the centers are creamy and delicious. And they always taste exactly like the flavor they claim to be which is amazing in my mind And because macaroons are made from almond flour, 99% of them are gluten-free. But it's super rare, that they are also dairy free. This location also has different types of mousse which had an amazing outside, beautiful shell. I just couldn't try one since I can't have that much dairy. They look like a masterpiece though and I don't say that about stuff like that. (The location in downtown Kirkland does not have these) Within the last week, Lady Yum has also introduced a new "bar" that I literally don't know how to explain but they give free samples (as of now, probably since they are new to the market since they don't typically give samples of anything). They are delicious. They are gluten-free The shop had plenty of seating that was super comfortable and was very clean. They have 4 times the gifts / fun items that you can buy as the downtown Kirkland location and they are very unique, and would make great gifts. There are things you would actually buy. This location also offers espresso drinks. They only have one type of tea though and it is black and caffeinated, so tea drinkers are very limited. I'm not sure which brand it is This location offers some pastries (which are not gluten-free), but the downtown Kirkland location does not They also offer champagne to go with your macaron, but so does the downtown Kirkland location. Like the downtown Kirkland location, the service was "meh." They are there just doing their job and putting in their time. They aren't unfriendly but they're certainly not friendly. In fact, while I was figuring out the tip I wanted to leave on the screen and paying with Apple Pay, the woman who was checking me out, was typing on her phone... But holding it kind of low so it was kind of in hiding... But very obvious she was typing on her phone. If I was the manager, I would be very upset about this but I know not to expect an amazing customer service experience there and I just wanted my yummy treat, so I really didn't care. This location has really high glass separators between the customer and the macarons which is actually a problem in my opinion. Well, it is only a problem if both the customer and the employee are 5'6" or shorter, which we both were. So we could not hear each other through the glass and literally had to repeat every single sentence that we said which was highly annoying. And there's no little place just to move over and quickly say what you want so you're literally talking through glass the whole time. Not a deal-breaker but EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I don't think many people could remember all the individual macarons that they want if they were to go off to the side and list them all at one time. So to summarize, the macaroons are amazing and worth the "meh" customer service, and just be ready to yell your order over the glass :)

I would give this place a 4.5 star if I could!!! I been to other locations so I knew what to expect. This place has new stuff so I was excited. It's a small place with some seatings. They have not only macarons but some pastries and other desserts. The people there are pretty nice, there was a person walking around talking to people sitting. We ended up getting: Butter beer macaron: 3/5 --- good texture but flavor is not there Magic bar: 5/5 --- this is really good. There was a variety of things like chocolate nuts Coconut etc. it was sweet with a hint of salt. Crunchy soft and everything in between. The mermaid entremet 4/5 - smooth top and crunchy bottom. I like the flavors. It think it taste better cold than room temp. Overall, I would definitely come back!!!

This is my favorite macaron place, it has yet to be topped. Every flavor I have tried has been amazing. My favorite permanent flavor is the raspberry chardonnay because it has a tasy raspberry jam in the middle. The seasonal flavors are all delicious too. I love their $5 macaron and glass of bubbly deal. They recently introduced a line of cookie bars/brownies and the key lime one is to die for. The shop is so cutely decorated and they have cute little miscellaneous items for purchase as well. The staff is also always helpful and nice.

I'm re-reviewing after my second experience for 3 reasons. 1. The first time I went in was a hot day 2. I chose odd flavors 3. I bought from the counter for my to go pack This trip, I pre-ordered a pack and then also sat down to enjoy the $5 special. On this visit the macaroons were MUCH different. My last review noted they were a bit chewy, I did not have that experience this time. They all tasted yummy and fresh! I would recommend placing orders ahead of time and maybe not visiting on a hot day, perhaps the heat got to them that day? Anyway the employee working was so sweet and nice as well. I am really starting to like this little gem

Came in on Mother's Day to get a treat for my mama & Lady Yum did not disappoint! This was my first time visiting this location, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too crowded. I expected a rush with the holiday, but the timing worked out perfectly. As I started picking out macarons, a few more groups trickled in, but the process remained smooth and easy. The setup is simple and customer-friendly: choose your box size and fill it with as many mouthwatering flavors as you'd like. Lady Yum never fails when it comes to variety and creativity. Some of my personal favorites are Honey Lavender, Salted Caramel, Raspberry Chardonnay, and Toasted Coconut. Absolutely dreamy! My daughters are big fans of the Unicorn and Mint Chocolate flavors, which are both fun and delicious. Beyond the sweets, the shop itself is a whole experience. The whimsical ambiance makes you feel like you've stepped into a storybook; it's charming, cozy, and totally Instagram-worthy. Whether you're a macaron lover or just looking for a special treat, Lady Yum is a sweet stop worth making. Will be back to try their delectable entremets (beautiful, individual mousse cakes).

Happy Saturday, indeed

Lady Yum never disappoints! The newest location is beautiful like the rest, with vibrant rich wallpaper and velvet chairs. The addition of the espresso bar is very appreciated. I was so excited to see coffee was an option here. They also have entremet! Which, if you don't know is only found at some of their seattle locations. They have pastries too but on this second trip (first was their soft opening day) they were sold out, it seemed. The iced lattes we got were really good. I liked the espresso a lot. The entremet was of course delicious, and the macarons well... I got a 15 pack to go :) Such a great spot for grabbing a coffee and treat, or relaxing inside with a book and some macarons.

Hazelnut Hennessy, Mermaid, and POG are new
Generous Y.

Had no idea that Lady Yum expanded over here! We also did not think the shop was open but we tried the door and were pleasantly surprised. The interior is super clean and polished, also cozy as in I could do work or study here. Worker was super friendly and talkative, introducing new flavors and open to conversation, definitely left a strong impression. They also sell champagne before 9:45. We were told that Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peach Prosecco, and Hazelnut Hennessy, Mermaid, and POG are new flavors. They also have other classic macarons sold across Lady Yum stores. Each one is $3 but buying over 15 gets slightly cheaper per macaron. The Dark Swan - I had never seen cakes at Lady Yum, only macarons, so I decided to try a cake instead. Beautiful presentation and very creamy. I'd definitely get this as a gift instead of for myself, but had to make sure I'd like it before sending to others! The base is a chocolate crumb layer that's very soft, similar to cheesecake crust. The dark chocolate was not overly bitter and the mousse was very creamy. We were also told that this had been getting good remarks from customers. Chocolate lovers should get this.

One of my absolute favorites is Ding Dong (a chocolate-forward flavor that's rich and nostalgic, like an elevated version of a childhood treat). I also love the chocolate mint for something refreshing, and the oatmeal flavor has this cozy, comforting vibe that pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. They consistently nail the texture: lightly crisp on the outside with a soft, chewy center. I also really appreciate that there's indoor seating. The last time I went, my parents were visiting, and we sat inside sipping tea and chatting. It felt warm, cozy, and just really sweet. It's not just a grab-and-go dessert spot, it's somewhere you can linger. And every time I've gone, the women working there have been genuinely friendly and welcoming. That consistency makes such a difference. Such a cute little gem in Totem Lake. Perfect for gifting or a small afternoon treat!

The Banana Punch Monkey (yes, the trending one!) totally deserves its moment -- fun, nostalgic, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet.

Beyond the macarons themselves, the experience really stood out. The owner was so lovely and sweet -- I got to learn about her passion behind the business, and it genuinely made the visit feel special. You can tell how much heart goes into everything she creates. The girl with black hair working there was also incredibly kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. All the macarons were fresh, beautifully made, and had that perfect chewy-meets-crisp texture. You can truly feel the care put into both the flavors and the presentation. If you're in Bothell (or even nearby), this place is 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.

I was pleasantly surprised (and amused) to find their macarons with custom printing at the "REVIVE I-5" booth at the University Street Fair. I was amused enough to write a separate review for them. The quality of the artwork and print colors are fantastic and vibrant with the rainbow colors. Please see photo. If I was interested in custom macarons, I would most definitely order some from Macadons. The flavor in this case is a simple vanilla, which has its charms, though I typically buy other flavors. The shell doesn't have the characteristic slight crispy, which is understandable since these are not fresh from the store. The inside is a very creamy filling that squished out on the sides as I bite down. Everyone has their own texture preferences. I personally like it less creamy. I normally buy their ice cream macarons, but these are still very good. The individual boxes make them great for small gifts.

Eschew Wifi-enabled tech-absorption in favor of real conversations, long-form thoughts exchanged with multiple intelligences called for in real human connection, or the simple joy of imagination and day dreaming. I love their decorative little tables facing the quiet Capitol Hill side-street itself not particularly attractive -- but which offers a pause for a bite and a sip without the capitalist rushtime nipping at your heels. I've had their stellar and inventive-flavored macarons, but their cakes are no slouches either. The rose pistachio coffee cake was delectable. I make this place a destination because if I am lucky I can get one of those bay-window tables for a vegetarian quiche or Spanish tortilla washed down by coffee. I noticed the use of fresh herbs and the sense of a good ingredients and home-touch hand with their plates, as opposed to the commonplace, harried, sloppy kitchen production. Their drip coffee was too acidic for my taste (I prefer nutty balanced, chocolatey flavor). Next time I would get a latte. A higgledy-piggledy antique-style bathroom in the back is another sign of a time-hewn, characterful place. The brickwork in their narrow back patio is inviting but on a recent Sunday morning had been snagged for a private party. Finally a note to the artful wall tributes to heroic workers martyrs from U.S. history. The cafe elevates the spirit of care for the working person, which is noteworthy. Counter to the loudest mouthpieces of the modern era that would erase these assassinated/ crushed heroes that fought for the wellbeing and life of working people, you know that it is these heroes' spirit of courage that continues to outshine the capitalist drivel and machine mind of the majority.
