Love the vibes of this place and their food is so good! Try all the macarons even if they sound like weird flavors. You won't be disappointed. read more

We saw Le Macaron had Gelato so decided to pick up a pint of pistachio and a mix pint of coconut chocolate chip and mint chip. The interior has a very nice vibe and the cases appealing. As well as the gelato, I picked up some macarons to try and a peanut butter cup. The young woman helping me provided very good service. The cookies and chocolate were great. I had very high hopes for the gelato especially considering its price point. Sadly, we now wish we'd just bought Talenti from the grocery instead. The flavor was ok, but the texture was grainy and unpleasant. Both pints, other than the bit we ate are going down the drain and in the trash. At $46 for the items mentioned, I can only urge you to ask for tastes of any gelato before you buy it. read more

While a bit pricey (almost $20) for 6, I've tried making them unsuccessfully so I kinda get the price. The place is cute and quaint with a nice young woman working with customers. They have gelato too, chocolates and other French desserts. I picked macarons. read more

Le Macaron is a lovely cafe with coffee, gelato, and macaroons. We tried a variety of flavors and they were all quite good. The pistachio and bubblegum flavors were our favorites. Service was quick and it was a comfortable spot to relax and talk while having a treat and a coffee. read more

Le Macaron French Pastries - Macaroons - Macarons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was craving a French pastry in my side of town on a cold dark evening and stopped by this pastry shop in Riverside Plaza. I have tried the macarons in a previous visit (see review picture) so this review is long overdue. These are the best macarons in town thus far with my favorite flavor being coconut, followed by chocolate praline (out of the 4 that I tried). They have a variety of options available so you can't go wrong with this place. For this visit, I ordered a crepe with raspberry compote, Bavarian cream, and cream cheese with a cappuccino (added a 2nd shot of espresso). This crepe took me back to Montmartre momentarily given the similarity of gloomy weather and flavorful treat of when I first tried one of these in good ole Paris. This cold winter evening paired very well with this excellent French pastry shop. I am looking forward to stopping by more times since they have a large assortment of pastry options all of which look very tasty. Bon appetit! read more

Stopped here on Thursday, October 27, 2022. I saw this spot heading to La Cumbre, which is just south of it. After buying a growler, I stopped by here. This shop opened in April, so it hasn't been here too long. Since this shop is named "Le Macaron", I had to order macarons. They all looked delicious, but I decided to order eight, in pairs. Julia D helped me decide and told me to grab a flier with the different flavors by the register. I decided to order pumpkin, lemon cream, coconut, and Sicilian pistachio. For a total of eight macarons, I paid $22.41 with tax. These macarons had a hard outer shell and soft filling. My favorite by far was the Sicilian pistachio with pumpkin a close second. My wife liked the coconut best. Support a local business by buying some sweet treats. They are open 9 am til 9 pm, Monday through Sunday. read more

Holy mac-aron-y...somebody stahhhp me! Where do I begin??? First, I took home a pint of that almond macaron gelato aaaand pretty much killed the whole thing by myself, sooo there's that... Then, I took home a lemon tart & raspberry chocolate macaron "cake" aaaaand baaarely shared with my house mates. Who am I??? Two baby macarons just for giggles also made their way into mah belly, the lavender white chocolate and the rose. Le Sigh. I barely recognize myself. The place is adorbzzz, you must add it to your dolce bucket list *and they offer many other delectable confections as well* But the real muthaload is the colossal macaron "cakes" they offer that may or may not be the size of the last unidentified aerial object that may or may not have landed in Area 51. You decide. The truth is out there.. read more

We love Le Macaron! It's been a great way to try new desserts with my kids and also have a grown up selection of sweet treats. The environment is very bright and colorful. The service is always great. I take home a tiramisu whenever I can because it's one of the best in town. read more

Needed a lunchtime dessert and have been wanting to check this place put for a while. I was greeted by the owners, Tammy and her daughter, when I walked in. They were friendly and warm, willinng to give samples and answet all of my questions. It was like being a kid in a candy shop, everything looks incredible! I had my heart set on an eclair, but knew if I didn't take some macarons home, my children would riot! So I made my purchase and added an Irish Brownie Latte for a midday pick me up The eclair was HEAVEN! The chocolate filling is creamy and sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. It leaves the taste lingering so that you have to have another bite. I went for 1/2 and ended up nibbling until the whole thing was gone. The gold stars added an elegance that made it feel fancy and special, but it didn't break the bank in terms of pricing. Great value overall. The macarons are everything you would want in these french cookies, colorful, flavorful, and fun! The latte was a little on the small side, but it was full of flavor. I kind of wish the irish cream popped a little more, the dark chocolate sauce did bury the flavor. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend a visit if you need to treat yourself or if you want to lift someone up with a sweet gift. Did I mention gift boxes were available and discounts if you order 6+ of an item!? read more

Recently, I went searching for a place to get a good coffee and "something sweet", so I pulled out my hand dandy phone and opened up my YELP app, and searched. I stumbled upon Le Macaron, so me and the partner in crime went to check it out. When we walked in we were greeted by smells, brilliant colors, and a squeaky clean setting. Not only does Le Macaron offer coffee choices, but MACARONs!! Gelato! And a wide variety of deserts and sweets! As a self-prescribed sweet tooth, I was in heaven. I went for a coffee, and I ended up with a Chocolate Chip Gelato Espresso Shake and a Vanilla Eclair. My wife had a Raspberry and Cream Danish and a Cappuccino. All of the above were amazing. My step-daughters joined us and had a variety of macarons. They were all good! We could have stayed and tried them all, and walked out broke. As everything is these days, it can be a bit pricey, but the quality, taste, and service are all worth it! I know there are a lot of businesses that pop-up and don't make it. I hope this place makes it, and with your help, they can put a stamp on the west side! I say flock and try them out! Fellow sweet tooth's, I SAY FLOCK! read more

A French bakery on the west side of town!! There's something for everyone...gelato, eclairs, chocolate turtles (the shape), beautiful glossy chocolates, "macarons", croissants, etc. I selected a beautiful raspberry chocolate truffle and a chocolate croissant which was heated up per my request. These two things were just over $5, and they were wonderful! The truffle was served at a cool temp, and the inside was a dark chocolate with a very nice raspberry flavor. The croissant was flaky and buttery with a nice bar of dark chocolate inside. Definitely treat yourself if you live on the west side or happen to be over that way! Plenty of nice seating indoors, and it was kept cool, which was appreciated since it was a hot day! read more

It's a really cute place to meet for coffee and great pastries. Servers are great, food is great in a cute, quiet atmosphere.

The ambiance is great and so is the service. I drove there from Santa Fe to get some Napoleons as that's my favorite French dessert. They were OK but rather "light" as though they neeeed additional butter and eggs. Overall, the place was delightful and their macaroons were excellent. read more

Gelato was over churned and gritty. Granted, we came in late at night before closing, but the gelato just wasn't good and lacked flavor. On the positive side. The worker on duty was very pleasant and cordial. Took good care of us, and wasn't bothered that we walked in 30 Min before closing. read more

Bottom Line: Pretty place. Pretty food. Tasteless pastry & cookies. Lifeless, disengaged staff. Expensive as hell for what you get. Avoid this one and give your business to some of the other patisseries around town. Pros: - Very clean modern decor. Bright interior. Pleasant space. - It felt spacious for having a very narrow footprint. - Extremely pretty food. High visual appeal. - They didn't mess up the bag tea. Water was hot. CONS: - Tasteless food!!!!! We are talking cardboard flavorless, dust-in-your-mouth tasteless. - Pistachio eclair had no pistachio taste to mention. It only had a vaguely marzipan'ish flavor coming through, without being even remotely sweet. Texture of the eclair was dry & overly crusty. Obviously old. - Macarons were likewise tasteless & crusty. Food texture was perhaps our penance for hitting them up in the afternoon instead of at opening time. - As with the eclair, any nut flavor in the pistachio macaron was AWOL. The cookie was missing even the marzipan flavor note that at least gave the pastry a bit of character. - Lavender and rose macarons lacked any hint of their (supposedly) namesake flavorings. No floral sweetness or complexity in either one. Flat, flat, flat. - Partner's cake was also flat tasting and lacked cohesive texture. - Counter high school aged cashier exuded zero energy, personality, welcome, or cordiality. At least she wasn't openly hostile or deprecating. - EXPENSIVE!!! An eclair, a few macarons, piece of cake, and two cups of tea rang out over $35. That's over a third of a Franklin for a tiny snack comprised of flavorless dreck. We paid the tuition to learn a harsh lesson. We won't be back. Hope to see you at a much tastier pastry shop than this. read more

Time for a little dessert at a different spot. The place was on the way home so why not stop. It's bright & spacious with a few table to enjoy your selections. We chose 6 macarons and a gelato. The chocolate chip coconut gelato tasted a little grainy, not the smooth texture of other gelatos I've had. However the flor was good and the coconut was not overpowering. Generally speaking the macarons were delicious, soft and flavorful with mild flavoring. Nice place to stop and glad we did. We'll be back - with almost 25 different flavors I've got a few more to try out. If you're close give this place a try there's emogjt flavor for everyone's taste buds. read more

1st and last time here. They have biden prices doubled. I give them 3 stars because the staff was great and they Honor Veterans. But the SKY HI PRICES are mindboggling. I'll go to Dunkin Donuts, buy 2 dozen and still save $40. I didn't like the taste of the products. read more

Nothing is made at the store. All products are shipped from Las Vegas NM. That being said, this fact did not deter us from trying a pastry. We choose a chocolate eclair from the display window. Well, the display choice is what was sold to us. It just looked to shiny and stale to be sold. The eclair was hard at both ends. Cream filling was to thick. I would not recommend this place for pastries. Better to spend your money at Whole Foods. read more

My family absolutely loves macarons so this seemed like a no brainer! We all had a little gelato and a macaron each and everything was pretty good. It definitely cures that sweet craving. I would also be interested to try their coffee which I didn't do this time. The selection of flavors is vast, they have pretty much anything you could possibly want in a macaron or gelato so if you like this kind of thing, definitely give this place a try! read more

Why didn't I take pictures? Because I needed me some friggin' gelato, yo! No fumbling with the camera, just git that goodness in mah belly. So, okay, rewind. This little franchise spot popped up out of nowhere about three weeks ago, in a strip mall that already featured Baja tacos, paletas, sushi and spring rolls. Now, dear Simba, the circle of our collective culinary orgy is complete: macarons, pastries and some darn fine gelato. We've visited three times, and we'll keep coming back and spending too much money on itty bitty cookies that honestly deliver the French goods. I can only describe the totality of this shop with one term: delicacies. Everything's too expensive, and the shop is open 'till 9pm, also too late for this sleepy wanna-be big city, and I'm not complaining. The servers are bright and shiny teenagers who smile. Try a gelato macaron sandwich, it'll put your summertime ice cream memories to bed. Anticipate photos to come. GO. read more

Cute place, perfect for a sweet craving! Ice cream was not over sweet a ton of macaron flavors.

Came in with the family. The Macarons are good so far. Wasn't into the Chocolate or Gelato. We got quite a few things and it just felt like we overspent. Doubt we would go back. read more

This place is absolutely adorable. A girl's dream come true with the decorations yet still welcoming for this not as into the pink and frills. Everything is displayed beautifully and looks delicious. We ordered a specialty coffee and some chocolates. The girl working the counter did not greet us upon entrance, didn't ask if she could help, took our order and just not engaging. She asked if they were closing soon thinking maybe we went in too close to closing but we were 3 hours before close. Kind of sad it wasn't very welcoming. read more

This was a nice cure to a sweet tooth. There was a seating area to be able to enjoy your macarons before leaving, and the lady checking me out was very courteous. The macarons themselves were just getting to the point of being stale, but I did show up close to closing so won't hold it too far against them. Only wish there were more flavor choices. I was a little shocked there weren't more with this shop being dedicated to macarons and not really anything else. Other than that I would recommend swinging by and taking a bite or two! read more

I was really hopeful when entering this cute storefront. The location is beautifully built out and the cases are filled with tempting treats. The actual products and tastes were unfortunately so-so with the coconut eclair being my favorite item as it was most flavorful. The macarons were the same taste and texture as those I purchase at Costco in bulk. The employee seemed quite new and was unsure of some items, but helpful. I was quite surprised and disappointed to find that everything comes in prepackaged and not made fresh, especially for $2.50 per macaron and over $5.00 for a very small eclair. read more

This place is unbelievable. A friend who is French loves it and says it is quite authentic. Today I tried a coconut éclair and the mixed berry beignet. Wonderful. I also brought home 3 macarons and just had the strawberry/key lime. I have a very picky stomach and love the fact that nothing here is super sticky sweet. And the variety of flavors to try seems endless. Gluten is not an issue for me but for those that have concerns, they have lots of gluten free choices. There was only one young lady working there so it is good that it was not busy, but she was friendly and helpful. read more

Very good macarons. I buy them all the time as box set. It's a little pricey but that's because of the almond flour costs. It's well worth the price too me. Staff is super friendly. Never had an issue with service. The owner may want to reach out to google that says their business is permanently closed when it is not. read more
