A coworker got a package of macarons from here. I tried the grand Marnier and the pistachio. Pistachio was better, but both were lovely. We know some folks who work here and the business seems very supportive. Props to them. read more

What a cute little gem in TC! I'm so glad we came in to grab a gelato. So many unique flavors like bubble gum and violet. Delicious!!! We also got their macaroon and chocolates too which were also equally divine. The ambiance is great and staff is so nice. Smells like sweet bubble gum and freshly baked ice cream come in here. read more

The service was exceptional. and walking in the store you smell fresh flowers that were set on the table and it smelled super good, The macarons were very eh tasting except the vanilla and red velvet those were amazing but 6 for 16$ is insane for the taste quality and just in general you could go to whole foods and get better quality of a macaron and you would expect the macarons good since it's a french pastries place. read more

Le Macaron French Pastries - a person holding a box of macarons - Bakeries Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

I am a big fan of French patisserie~ macarons, eclairs, tea cakes, chocolates, etc. so naturally when we were out in TC and came across Le Macaron I just had to pick some goodies up. I cannot express my disappointment enough.. the macaron's were claggy and stodgy, the feet were spread and the flavors left something to be desired. We'd picked up a few chocolates as well and thought maybe those would be better after the macarons, but only left us feeling disappointed again- I definitely wouldn't call them gourmet. Nothing to write home about and will stick to our local macaron shop instead. read more

Le Macaron French Pastries - a variety of pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

1 star for making me walk 3/4 of a mile just to be closed. Update your hours, jerk. Many people were walking up to your door for it not to be open. We all went elsewhere. read more

The white chocolate raspberry gelato was delicious! So were the macarons, and a wide variety of flavors.

Amazing space, food and staff. A new favorite place to look forward to when visiting Traverse City! Won't be disappointed! read more

Le Macaron French Pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

This is my first review, but I found out about this place a few days after they had their grand opening by complete accident. It is like Day 8 or 9 since they opened, apparently. I have been to 'lette (Beverly Hills, plus they have at least one additional location in Dubai), and Bottega Louie (Los Angeles). 'lette has a dark chocolate, passion fruit and a sweet wedding almond macaron that seems to be exclusive to them (at least at the moment). Bottega Louie has a cotton candy macaron that is exclusively theirs, too. Both locations have an Earl Grey tea macaron, but le macaron currently does not have an Earl Grey tea (not yet, I am sure!). When I walked into le macaron, I was greeted in French. It is like Eiffel Tower city in here (Eiffel Towers in art pieces, as stands around their shop, and so forth). I immediately went to the front, but kept asking people who were coming in behind me to go ahead of me because I had to just take it all in. le macaron's macarons are very rich, very temperature controlled (36 degrees give or take, according to their LCDs in the bottom of their refrigerated displays), and very delicious. Black Vanilla From Madagascar was terrific, Belgian Chocolate was a pleasant surprise, Basil White Chocolate was interesting but still good, the Key Lime Strawberry complimented each other more than I expected, Lavendar White Chocolate was lovely, Orange Grand Marnier with Chocolate was also good, and both Red Velvet & Rose were delicious. If you ate one at a time blindfolded, then you would easily guess which was which. I only tried 8 different ones, but there are more. The airy texture in all of the macarons was very enjoyable! Effortlessly chewy. In addition, they had these very pretty/shiny treats in the shape of butterflies, and other treats in the shape of lips. They also have Oreo white chocolate bars, macarons for dogs, Harney & Sons stuff (I THINK those were teas), different waters (I did not pay attention to those, either), and a few refrigerated cakes. I am aware that they have gelato, peanut butter treats, and a lot of other ganache/turtle treats, but I was more about the macarons. So, takeaways... the macarons are: handmade, around 4 degrees from freezing all of the time, & delicious! read more

Very overpriced, and not worth it. The macrons were not good, considering both the quality and taste. The service was good, and inside the building was nice, but the macrons were way too overpriced. read more

Macarons were ok, but at $16.75 for 6, they should have been fabulous. They were overly sweet and not smooth. Purchased 2 pastries also for $18.50, which were also just ok. Red velvet cake was not fresh, frosting was hard. Sad to say I won't be back. read more
