A friend was visiting and wanted ice cream or gelato. We were in the area so stopped in here. What an adorable little shop with a case full of top notch pastries, colorful macarons and sculptural, luscious, extremely artistic looking chocolates. We were just in the market for the gelato that day and were pleased to find about 8 selections in the front cooler. After sampling the violet I chose it- slightly sweet, floral but fruitier than I imagined. It was remarkable. My friend got chocolate and we enjoyed a nice walk down to the river while eating our treats. The cafe did have a handful of tables in and outdoors in case you prefer to stay there. I definitely need a special occasion so I can go back for some of those exquisite chocolates. read more

This place is so adorable if you are in the mood for some good macarons . They make everything fresh and they had a ton of different flavors. The inside had a few seating options which was nice. It is a little pricey for macarons but I loved how much variety they offered. They also had Gelato options as well. If you are looking for a sweet treat and are in the area, its worth a try read more

My DH and I stopped by Le Macaron on a search for Dubai Chocolate and they did not disappoint! Not only did they have a Dubai Chocolate Bar, but we also found some delicious pastries and (of course) Macarons! This darling shop is such a pleasure to visit. The cheery hot pink walls just make you feel happy from the minute you step in the door. Staff is always friendly and they were very accommodating in answering our questions about all of the various treats. The next time we are in the Riverside area, we will definitely be stopping by again! read more

The service could definitely be improved. I suggest adding some more employees. I came in today, and the shop was closed down an hour early, because the one and only employee that was there, had to leave. They close very early everyday. Been waiting a few weeks now to catch them open after I got off of work, and go figure, the one day I get off and they're still open, they closed down an hour early. Absolute excuse for a proper business establishment. Severely understaffed; would not recommend anyone to go here unless you have no other options. Would give this place zero stars if it was possible. read more

Le Macaron French Pastries is such a cute shop in the 5 points area. They have a selection of macaron and chocolate that really are a nice treat. When I went on a Sunday, it wasn't super busy which was nice. I was able to review all the macaron and chocolates. I was able to create an awesome experience, and also learned a fun fact that they have ice cream as well. The macarons are very tasty but really sweet. I could honestly probably eat about one in a day to curb my sweet tooth. The chocolate is also very nice. Not as sweet with more dark chocolate options which I liked. The chocolate was absolutely beautiful to look at and had some unique options. I decided to purchase a few chocolates and about 6 macarons. Each flavor was very distinct and tasty. If I am back in this area, I would stop by again and buy more. read more

Beth was amazing !! My husband had been wanting to take me here for a while now and today was his opportunity to. I loved it . The experience and knowledge Beth had with all of the flavors was very helpful .. I also got Mango Sorbet , it was delightful!!! Come here for a vibe and a light snack !!! read more

This is not my first time here & most definitely will not be my last. I ordered two coffees for myself & a friend and 6 macarons to share. We did not have a flavor that we didn't like! We even were given 4 free sample macarons by the sweet girl behind the counter. The place is small, but so wonderful. read more

Definitely quality made croissants that are perfectly dense and buttery. They are made in-house and are a must try if you come here. There's gelato, macarons, cake, pastries, gourmet chocolates, coffees and many other offerings at this quaint location in Avondale. This place is on the higher-end regarding prices, but what you would expect to pay for the area. The service was friendly enough. And asides from the guy at the register (owner? partner?) not knowing the prices of his products by heart and having to check the register for the cost of each item, it was an easy transaction. I am of the opinion that you should either know your prices or have them clearly marked near the product. Seriously. There's nothing more annoying. Spent ~ $10 for 3 croissants. Overall, I had a decent experience and I would most likely revisit this establishment. read more

Faith J. and I were out in about Riverside (Avalon particularly) for our once a week breakfast binge at The Fox, and afterwards we usually take a stroll to bask in the splendid scenery and some fresh air. We happened upon a little shop on the far corner that seemed new to the neighborhood, Le Macaron, and excitedly wandered in to check it out. Aesthetics. The owners are big on aesthetics. That's the first thing you will notice as your eyes behold the café in all its majesty. The onyx hardwood floor was an excellent choice to complement the bold pink hues of the walls and décor, topped off by the crystal chandeliers that really make the colors pop and give it that charming "café in France" ambience. We were delighted to see several tables set up outside, which means that our pup Viggo will be able to accompany us on future visits. The OMG: I wanted one of everything. EVERYTHING. From the appetizing fresh baked pastries to the wondrous array of mouthwatering chocolates, and of course the smooth velvety macarons, I wanted to gather it all up and call them "my precious." You've GOT to see the chocolates. Each piece is literally a handcrafted work of art. The vibrant colors and intricate designs really give each piece their own personality and sparkle. The macarons were equally plentiful in colors and flavors, and in the end it became a rather difficult task to decide on what goodies to try. Our final selections go as follows: The Chocolate Tart: GET THIS. It's sheer silky chocolatey perfection, and rich enough for two people to share. Not that you're going to want to, but I'm just saying. The Chocolate Croissant: I liked the soft, pillowy texture of the croissant, however I think it could have used a smidgen more chocolate to really make it a star. Chocolates: Faith chose the Mojito and I got the Chocolate Peanut Butter. We can personally attest that they taste as scrumptious as they look. Macarons: She picked Columbian Coffee and I got the White Chocolate Mint, and from the first delectable bite I was sold. The flavors aren't too overpowering, and not overly-sweet at the same time. The cookie itself was a cloud from the heavens with the perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. Yes indeed, these are the real deal. We spoke with the owner and he has a very vibrant personality and quite happily answered all of our questions. I wanted to keep talking with him just to hear his awesome French accent, but that's just me. And so......GO HERE. As a baker I know all too well what a detailed and painstaking process it is to bring these creations to life. They aren't making pound cakes, Yeeps. The artistry alone makes the trip well worth it. Honestly I haven't seen chocolates this beautiful since my trip to Adam Turoni in Savannah, Georgia. They also serve various coffee drinks,teas and even gelato to cool you off on those hot days. Definitely take some time to stop in, welcome them to the neighborhood, indulge is some wickedly good treats, and till next time...SYOY and as always SUPPORT your local businesses! read more

I'm sorry, the macrons I have just received don't taste okay. Each cookie tastes like it cardboard, as if they were very old. The stale tastes over powers the very delicate and light flavors of each cookie. read more

Very nice shop to visit and splurge with a tasty macaron... love the service and attentive service. We could try all of the treats, but these are from France or made very traditionally and brought to this quaint but pink shop. I would recommend the coconut macaron and a very good cappuccino. You do spend a little more so treat yourself for the good stuff, don't expect anything less. read more

I came in to the store on on cold dark and rainy night. The gentleman approved for me to take a few snapshots of the store. It is not too big inside, but so cute and decorated that is pleasant to the eye. The bigger seating section is outside, nice when the weather is good. They had a very good selection of macarons available. I bought a couple of them and went on my way. I would definitely come back here for a nice treat agin, when I am in the area. read more

I guess today I was in a floral mood! Delicious rose macaron followed by a lavender variety. My (grown) kids love this place and enjoy trying different flavours. The pumpkin was tried along with the salted caramel. The staff are always friendly and the facilities spotless. Nowhere to find fault. Have to say I'm glad it's in a town I only visit otherwise I'd be stopping by far too often! read more

Looking for something sweet and some coffee to go with it. Decided to stop in here and give it a try. For such tiny little treats these macaroons pack a lot of flavor. The salted caramel one was by far my favorite. Each of the people in my group got two and there were no bad flavors. Add in a cappuccino and this ended up being exactly what we were looking for. read more

I have repetitively attempted to give this place multiple chances at winning a better impression, but unfortunately it has never happened. The macarons are tasty, but the service is cold and rude. I've visited this shop a total of 5 times and brought friends/family with me for local patronage. Every time I was treated without warmth (as well as the visitors with me), which was an embarrassment. I always get the impression that I'm not welcome-- as a fellow small business owner, this is the worst feeling for your customers to have. Business must be doing fantastic for these kind of experiences to occur without improvement, though I'm very confused as to how this is possible? read more

Well after trying some Macarons from their store in the Avenues Mall I couldn't help but, to buy more. After trying these Macarons in Avondale I found the product to be inconsistent from the sizes, the taste, and the freshness as compared to the store in the Avenues. This is very common in restaurants where the product varies depending on which location you go to and who is making the product. Inconsistency is definitely a negative especially in the food industry! read more

Le Macaron French Pastries - It doesn't look like a French Chef made this! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

So disappointed. I love macarons and I always stop in here after brunch at Barrique across the street (I frequent regularly). However today, my friend and I open the door to step inside (both wearing masks of course!!) and I had my emotional support dog on her leash tightly beside me. A lady immediately got up to tell us that dogs are not allowed, so we turned around and left. I understand dogs not being allowed in restaurants, as I was just sitting at an outdoor table for brunch with my emotional support dog, but this exchange came off as extremely abrupt and rude. I was about to spend at least $20 on overpriced bonbons and cookies which are all stored behind the counter that my dog would in no way affect or impact. read more

Excited to find out they have a few vegan options! They're not labeled but the employee was able to identify them. I only remember mango and black current but they had a few. The box prices only save you $.05 a macaroon so that could be a little better, but a cute shop with friendly service none the less! read more

Very friendly (and French!) staff. Great food. Not cheap, but excellent nonetheless! Veteran discount available. Inside the bakery it is very clean. The gender neutral bathroom was stocked and smelled great. 5/5! read more

This shop looks the same like any other "La macaron", but feels different. I don't know why, but it's tru. I'm not biggest fan another one in Avenues Mall, maybe because there are too many people. This one was so cozy! We meet manager Marie (hope right name). She is wonderful, amazing and extremely friendly person! She speaks with French accent and this is so nice to listen in French place) Macarons, ice cream are delicious. read more

So i love macarons and of course they have gelato as well. I opted for the gelato macaron sandwich because two in one?! Yes please! The sandwich was divine with two pink macaron cookies with the creamy vanilla gelato in the middle. I did get to try some of the blue cookie gelato my husband had and it was also yum. Only issue are the prices... A wee bit expensive for me but nice for a special occasion like celebrating the new year. read more

I know this place is a chain. I have also been to other locations in the area. This location is better than the others. The selection is better, the shop is cleaner, and the owner is actually FRENCH! Great addition to Avondale/Riverside area of town. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

You're welcome to come in and try their previously frozen overpriced pastries, but don't ask to try the gelato unless you are certain that you will be buying some or at least, that's what the counter girl told my girls (as she stuffed her face in one of the back tables) while I tried to enjoy the only thing they actually make - coffee. First and last visit. read more

Omg some of the tastiest macarons! Great selection and friendly staff!! This place also has ice cream to choose from. Small amount of flavors to choose from, but they are packed with flavor! They even have an ice cream sandwhich. Instead of being between two cookies, the gelato is smashed between two Giant macarons. read more

Beautiful. But definitely not fresh macarons, and may have even been frozen before being sent out for delivery. The shells were very very chewy, it got stuck in your teeth. The chocolates again were beautiful but there was no guide, so if your ordering for a group of people with preferences of flavors it would probably be better to do separate orders. Delivery was fast though. read more

I loved coming to this bakery! It was my first time and Marie was incredibly helpful. Et elle m'a parlé en français! I had tiramisu, and it was incredibly smooth and rich. I highly recommend a visit! read more

The macarons were good, but the service is what won us over. My receipt says the girl that helped us was Kensy, so we'll call her that. Kensy is a gem! She was so sweet and thorough. In a time where good service is so hard to find, we'll go out of our way to visit again for service like this. read more

We live in the neighborhood, and had not yet been to this shop. We stopped in after dinner for gelato and coffee. It was really good! The gelato comes from Perpignan, France and is very good. We had the coconut and Violet flavors. It's nice to eat outside and have some authentic French desserts in the neighborhood! read more

This place is designed so cute from the sign outside to the super cute and swanky decor inside. The gelato did not disappoint; rich and creamy! And the macarons will surely get anyone in trouble! Bite sized piece of heaven. Everything is a bit pricey but so will have to keep it to a once in awhile treat! read more

I love this place! The gelato is delicious and so are the macarons. I saw a complaint the macarons were small and pricey... They are normal macaron sized (although large ones exist) compared to the ones in France. On par costwise as well. I have only seen one person behind the counter the few times I have been there. He is very polite and helpful. Even when there has been a bit of a crowd, he makes sure to acknowledge everyone. I wish the place was a little bigger, as there is not much inside seating and it's too hot right now to sit outside. That's really my only complaint. I can't wait to go back and try their breakfast! Being a Francophile, this is the closest to actual France I have found so far locally! read more

They have a wide variety of flavors and colors, and the packaging is so cute. Rose was my absolute favorite read more

I cannot say that I was impressed. I was more disappointed. The place is very expensive and the quality or the taste of macarons did not satisfy the money I spend. The entire street was full of people and all restaurants were packed but this place was completely empty. I guess it should have been a sign for me not to try it. There was no customer service, the guy, who sold us macarons, was annoyed that we came in and he had to get up from the couch. Maybe it was just an off day. But I will definitely never come back. read more

We were leaving Mojo's and I saw this adorable shop and yelled, "Turn the car around"!!! Scared the hubs a bit but it worked. They have so many options. We bought a box of 6 macaroons for $14. So far we are only 2 into the pack but the we are so impressed! They are delicate yet the filling is plentiful! The packaging is adorable! They also have fine chocolates, gelato and pastries. We will be back for sure! read more

I am addicted to macaroons and am so happy I have a location close by to get my fix. My favorite flavor is the Madagascar vanilla, but I like everything I've tried. The gelato was okay but No comparison to the macaroons. If you're in the Avondale area and want a small sweet I highly recommend a macaroon or six. These are just as good as the macaroons I had in Europe. read more

I tried four flavors: coconut, green matcha, salted caramel, and pistachio. The coconut tasted artificial and was overly sweet. The pistachio was almond-flavored and also overly sweet. The matcha tasted just strange, not like green tea. And the salted caramel did not taste like much of anything, except the filling tasted like butter cream icing. The macarons were not consistent in size or texture. The only consistent quality was that they were all too sweet. I don't understand the high reviews. What I was served is nothing like what you would receive in France. There are other much better options for dessert on that block. read more

The store is lovely and service good but the macarons were all tasteless. Very disappointed. Going to Whole Foods for good macarons.

Stopped in for a double espresso, it was absolutely amazing. The owner is a Parisian lady, very sweet and kind. Definitely a place to put on the list to frequent often. read more
