We really wanted a coffee while we walked around and this was the only place we could find but it was so good. They should definitely market their coffee options more as they were delicious. We tried the chocolate stout latte iced and got several macarons. Parking is on street with park mobile app! They have a great selection of macarons with creative flavors like champagne, caramel banana, coffee, and coconut. Staff was super sweet and welcoming here. read more

Le Macaron French Pastries is a favorite of mine! I fell in love with their Lavender White Chocolate Macaron a couple years ago. This time was no different! I bought a box of six. I was lucky I even made it home from our trip with any left in the box! To drink, you guessed it, I had the iced Lavender Coffee! It was so flavorful and refreshing. Le Macaron French Pastries still has my heart. Until next time! read more

4 stars- 2/5 for the macarons- no flavor but good texture. The worker gave us a free one! 5/5 stars on the raspberry sorbet- by far the best flavor out of the mango and lemon! read more

Got a couple of boxes of assorted macrons to share. =. The only flavor I liked was vanilla and my cousin liked pistachio. No one else really loved any flavors. The texture and visuals were pleasing. Beyond, it was a lot of decadence of odd flavors. We didn't finish the boxes. =. Pricy +. Parking is street (metered) Meh. Lovely looking but NoT comparable to Laduree. Looking is free ;).

I'm very disappointed with Le Macaron at University Town Center. They are selling what appear to be collectible "macaron-themed" toys or figures (actually rubber dolls) for $58 each -- marketing them to young children as if they're authentic or high-value. What we received were clearly cheap, low-quality rubber toys, some of which even started breaking as we opened the boxes. To make things worse, they have a strict no-refund policy, even when the items are defective and clearly not as advertised. This kind of practice feels dishonest and exploitative, especially targeting kids and unsuspecting families. I expected better from a business operating in such a reputable location. I'm sharing this so other parents and customers are aware before making a purchase. read more

Of the many shops to get ice cream at in St Armand's Circle, I can't recommend the unsuspecting Le Macaron enough! They had a variety of gelato and sorbetto flavors. I went with a cookies and cream gelato and was blown away by the flavor! It was so rich and creamy - it was 10 stars! They also have a ton of macaron flavors to pick from. I chose a box of 6 and got some unique flavors like chocolate grand marnier and champagne, as well as some classics like raspberry and salted caramel. My favorite was actually the pistachio macaron! Definitely recommend stopping by to treat yo self! read more

This is such a cute macaron store in the circle. There are so many choices of macaron flavors, including some seasonal ones. There are French pastries, chocolates and gelato as well. The staff is always friendly and patient while you make your choices. There are cute macaron themed gifts such as keychains and shirts in bright and pastel colors. It's a must stop for us for dessert every time we are in the circle. read more

It seems it's a popular French Macron Chain Shop in the US with locations in multiple cities across different states. I found this place in different blogs/internet searches for must - try places in Sarasota. It's located in St.Armand's circle. We stopped by the place on an evening and there weren't many other customers then. The employees gave us a cold response. They did not have any vegan or eggless offerings. My family found the Macarons tasted similar to what we get in other places, nothing different. Although they had a wide variety of flavors to choose from. read more

We had an evening stroll through St Armand's Circle after dinner across the street at the Columbia Restaurant and decided to stop in for some macarons. We had to wait inside about 20 minutes (totally ridiculous!) because the 2 people in front of us couldn't decide on what kind of ice cream flavor they wanted and then at the cash register other people were waiting that started an argument with the ice cream people that they were at the wrong end of the line and who waited there the longest! So the place needs to make it absolutely clear how to enter and exit and order since it is very tiny inside. I was there for the macarons. They had a large selection and each one we had was delicious. We would stop back in there next time we are in time. read more

Walking and shopping around St. Armand's Circle shopping , we discovered Le Macaron. Beautiful looking store with their treats proudly on display. My sister in law put together a box of 6 macarons. I told her my favorite is Flure De Sel. Or Rose. Or Pistachio. I pretty much like anything. She came back with a 1/2 dozen for us to sample. No Flure De Sel and I thought all the flavors were very faint. Each flavor wasn't pronounced. Also, they were kept inside a refrigerator that, IMHO made the macarons tough and chewy. I'm trying to be positive, the best I can say beautiful store. read more

I spent a day at my beloved St. Armand's Circle shopping/retail strip... and chose to take a break here. First of all, I've been to several Le Macaron stores in different cities, but this is one of the biggest, prettiest stores I've seen...SO Pretty!!! Aside from being in love with the store's colorful, cheerful decor, including its Hot Pink wall, I absolutely love their Macarons! I chose a small box with half a dozen flavors for $15...which I thought was reasonable. Can't remember all the flavors that I chose, but they were ALL delicious! I didn't even feel too guilty given how small these bite-sized snacks were. Perfect treat from shopping on a hot, muggy day! BTW, this store also had a selection of ice cream flavors! There weren't any other patrons in the store while I was there, so I chose to sit in and enjoy these Macarons (and a bottle of ice-cold water!), as well as their pretty ambiance...and super-cool A/C (which I badly needed, given the super-humid weather). BTW, they also had this super-cute wall art, with a splash of Macarons... so fun! HAD to get a picture, and the store rep was nice enough to take a pic of me in front of this wall before I left. If you're conquering shops or restaurants on this amazing strip, I strongly suggest stopping inside this sweet French haven! read more

I can't say enough good things about Le Macaron in St. Armand's Circle. I spent a week in Sarasota and visited 3 times. My 16 year old daughter has had macarons from other French bakeries and she says these are hands down the best she's ever had. Also, they have pretty unique flavors. We also tried the Violet flavored and chocolate ice creams, which were delicious. The cappuccino is also really good. Aside from the food, the shop is really cute and the service couldn't be any better! Can't wait to visit again. read more

By far the most delicious macaroons that I have ever had! This cute little shop has a few places inside and out to sit. They offer coffee and tea and gelato as well. I highly recommend this business to gluten free folks. It's a great place to stop in for a pick me up while walking around shopping in St Armand's. It isn't cheap but well worth it if you don't get to partake in most desserts due to needing to be GF. read more

The only thing I found a bit strange was when I asked the woman behind the macaron counter for her opinion. I asked, "What's your favorite flavor?" and she said "All of them." So I said "Sure, but there must be one or a few that you prefer over the others?" And again she said, "All of them." So, I ended up ordering the rose, pistachio, lemon cream, and white basil and rose macarons (and liked them in that order). They were all delicious but I can definitely tell you that the rose was the best one (I do typically lean toward floral / more aromatic flavors). read more

The most authentic French macaron shop in town! I love this adorable, yet affordable little cafe! The coffee is good, and the pastries are even better! I'd also like to add how amazing the employees are: (Beginning with Chris): I accidentally left my wallet at Le Macaron. I called to ask if they'd be able to hold it temporarily because my car stopped working. Chris... being the amazing and wonderful human being that he is offered to meet me at a nearby bagel shop by my home to bring me my wallet! Keep Chris! HE IS AN ANGEL! You need employees like this that GO ABOVE AND SO FAR BEYOND! Alfredo, Tika and Véronique are a delight. They make this place so warm and interesting. As much as I love macarons, I also like to come in from time to time for a slice of the coconut cake. There are both indoor and outdoor bistro style benches and tables. This place is super family and dog (outside) friendly. They also have sweet little gifts and elegant gift wrapping options for the pastries. Highly recommend! Je recommande Le macaron ! read more

They have opened after both of the hurricanes. They changed a bit of the decor, but it's still a pleasant space indoors and they have outdoor seating. Service was great when we arrived just at opening. They pulled a couple of wonderful chocolate croissants out of the oven to give us. Coffee was excellent and flavorful. Nice place for coffee and pastries for breakfast. read more

Visited the store on Saturday evening and they still had a good variety of macarons on display. I checked in with my yelp application and got a 5% discount. I went to the register to check out and the cashier said that she didn't know how to do the discount in her computer. I didn't really mind the 5% but I though wow she doesn't know how to do a discount in the computer ‍. Anyways macarones were way to hard for my taste maybe because we bought them at like 6:30pm. Didn't really meet but expectation this time but I will give it another try next time I'm back at the beach!! read more

Not sure how to feel about this place. The strawberry key lime macaroon and chocolate macaroon were good, and the basil white chocolate one was unique and something I've never had before which I enjoyed. However, the raspberry macaroon was very undercooked and was kind of gummy and soft and didn't have the best flavor. The chocolate coconut tart was good but nothing extraordinary, and the shell kind of tasted pre made. I'd say some of the macaroons and pastries are fine but I've definitely had better elsewhere. read more

The gelato was great but the macaroons were unbelievable! The lavender white chocolate was amazing. I wish I had taken a picture.

I can't review this place for the food because after 15m on line at 4:15pm (with two ppl) in front of us the guy behind me decides to start ordering with the girl who was helping someone else. It blew my mind when the young girl behind the counter starts helping him. So I look at both of them and say "did you really just do that". Both the customer and counter help pretended not to hear me, so I left after thanking the guys wife for the lesson in civility I left with nothing. Anyway, store is really nice and clean , treats look good . I figure either the folks behind the counter don't know how to turn customers or they think they are that good that people will wait. Pack your patience. read more

We drove out on a Sunday night because my daughter was craving a bakery treat. We tried a Napoleon, six macarons (our first time trying these), and a bag of meringues. The shop workers were lovely and helpful especially considering it was so late in the evening! The location is nice- great mouth-watering displays- organic coffee and pretty little places to sit. We tried six macarons- flavors were spot on but... overall, the pastries were too sugary for our taste (and that's saying something, because I have a major sweet tooth). The meringues had great texture, but again- just too much sugar. The Napoleon was the best for us. As far as price, these are French pastries- they are hard to make! I think for a French patisserie in St. Armand's, prices are spot on. $15 for six macarons. If I come back, I'll get a gelato! read more

After walking around The Circle, my sister insisted we stop by this shop when she leaned my daughter had never had a macaroon (such problems). The shop is cute, clean and streamlined. There are around 5 small tables in the shop to sit to enjoy your treats. In addition to the namesake cookie, they also offer chocolates, pastries, gelato and coffees. Since we were here to ensure my daughter tried a macaroon, we ordered 6 ($15). We each ordered a vanilla bean (because my sister said they were the best) and then one other flavor. Well, my sister was right, the vanilla bean were the best....and the other flavors....well, they were okay. But they were pretty sweet so when I tried my daughter's other flavor macaroon, it pretty much tasted like mine. For me, they were rather sweet. (In fact, I would give 3 stars, but my sister who is much more "into macaroons" would give 5....thus the 4). Would I return? Maybe not, but my sister loves this place so I know she will when she allows herself to have a sugar indulgence! The one thing that we thought odd.....we were going to enjoy our treats there. The macaroons were, none the less, boxed up. We promptly unboxed then and thew away the box. We wondered if they could do without the box for patrons staying in to save the waste. read more

My sister used to rave about these macaroons. So we were at the utc mall and got 6. I've had macaroons before and these are nasty!! There was nothing to make me buy some more. They were not light and airy, they were gummy, almost like not baked. A waste of 15$$ read more

I brake for macarons, and this place has good ones! Not quite up to the quality I've had in Paris, but definitely a worthy competitor. The cookies come in all sorts of unusual flavors, so we bought a box of 8 (Grand Marnier Chocolate, Crystalized Ginger, Black Vanilla, Pistachio, Mint White Chocolate and Salted Caramel). I wasn't surprised that pistachio was my favorite (it usually is), but none of them were bad. This is apparently a chain; we saw another location in the UTC mall later in the day. They also serve gelato, so no matter what your sweet needs are they can be fulfilled! Le Macaron est magnifique! read more

Average macaron, expensive, but good gelato in the store. The shop itself is adorable, clean, and inviting! I didn't eat my purchases there but it was very cute. The employees were nice and helpful in our questions about the flavors, what they liked best, etc. It's located in the middle of a touristy area and it was around $15 for 6 macarons. I felt that the macarons were very sugary and it was difficult for me to guess which flavor some of the ones I got were at times since all I could taste was sugar. I was a little disappointed by this, because they had an amazing range of flavors, from vanilla, to matcha, to monitor. Unfortunately, the only flavor I remember being able to taste well was the mohito. As for the gelato, this was expensive, but I would say it was worth it. It was creamy and rich, but not overpowering and I could taste the flavors in each scoop I got. If I was in Sarasota again, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's a cute little shop to stop in. read more

Le Macaron always called my name with it's bright lively colors, and it's pretty little macarons and colorful perfect chocolates. I finally gave it a try when I was walking through St. Armand's Circle, my favorite shopping boutique area in Sarasota. I tried several flavors including lemon, white chocolate, and some others. The flavors look amazing, and original. I found the texture to be nice as well as original in itself. They were pretty good, but then again, I definitely have my sweet tooth. I do feel that they can be quite pricey, but a nice once in a while treat, or gift for someone. I would go back, but it would be once in a while. I think it is definitely something to try. read more
