Stopped by Bow market for some macarons at Maca and was super happy I did. They have a decent…read moreselection - we couldn't decide which ones to get! The shop is small and there was a line but it went by fast and the person at the register was super friendly. They have a couple of tables dedicated to Maca guests right outside. My favorite was the lemon and the funfetti was pretty good too. They are refrigerated so it makes sense to let them drop to room temperature before eating them. Either way they taste good! Definitely recommend you check this place out! You won't be disappointed!

I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

We went with pretty much only classics, but nine of them missed.

Near the food court of CambridgeSide Mall, Woops! stands right in front of the escalator. The stand…read moreis well decorated and put together. The set up is warm and welcoming. They offer an assortment of macaroons, cookies, smaller pastries, and crembellos (a German dessert with a hard shell of chocolate and merengue on the inside). The price was what you'd expect for a macaroon shop in a mall, about $3 a macaroon and $2.50 for a crembello. They offer discounts if you order in larger amounts. We tried the milk chocolate crembello and a red velvet macaroon. Both tasted rich and were full of flavor. If you're in the mood for a macaroon or interested in trying a crembello, this is a solid option in the Cambridge area. They also have a variety of catering options.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!…read more So rich hot chocolate! We were craving dessert and decided to get some hot chocolate from L.A Burdock since we were in the area. The shop is super cute with plenty of chocolate gifts to take home or to buy for someone special. I really liked their displays of beautifully wrapped chocolate bars and gift sets. At the back of the shop their is a coffee shop that offers some pastries. I ordered their classic hot chocolate and my boyfriend got their spicy hot chocolate. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your dessert and we were lucky to grab a seat because it was very busy on a late Saturday night. The drinks came out hot and super rich! The classic was very good and very chocolatety. The spicy hot chocolate was so thick and rich it felt like I was drinking a candy bar it was almost non liquid! It was very good! If you are a chocolate lover I highly recommend trying their yummy hot chocolate! You can even purchase a bag to prepare at home!

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.
