Picked up a 6 pack of macarons for my coworkers to enjoy last week and a couple more for a friend. At $2 a cookie you'd better be prepared to savor these tasty little cookies! A great way to savor is to buy a coffee here and grab a seat in the front of the store with a friend. The flavors change daily so be sure to check out what today's offerings are on Facebook. And consider getting there early so you don't experience your favorite flavor selling out earlier that day! Our favorites were the lemon, pistachio, and salted caramel! read more

I have tried macarons from France several times and even others in the United States. They should be light and not fight back with you when you try to bite into them. These macarons (I got a box of 12) were almost like biting into a regular cookie. I shouldn't have to fight my way to the filling. The flowery flavors were better than the chocolate and caramel type flavors. They tasted a lot more fresh and not as industrial as the chocolate type flavors. I wouldn't go back to this place. Sorry. For my money, I'll order online or try The BonBonnerie. read more

Today was the grand opening, and since our office is around the corner we decided to stop in. It looks great (everything is very clean, open and white) and they had 7 different types of macarons available. We did a 6 pack or different flavors and they were all excellent. I also got a coffee while I was there and it was really good (and brewed right before my eyes). The cookies are light and the creamy centers are fabulous. This is a great light desert or treat... This place is a great addition to the neighborhood and we are excited to make regular visits. read more

The Earl Grey was my favorite. I knew that just before I bit into it. I must have good memories associated with Earl Grey. The Black Currant was the most interesting, the Matcha most extreme, and Raspberry most flavorful. I don't know much about macarons- I think this is the third time I've tried them- but I see why they are $2+. I don't think I could make them this good at home. I would have liked to see more variety in flavor: Goat Cheese perhaps, or Basil. Or Rosemary, I could like Rosemary. More herb flavors. I digged the interior of Macaron Bar as well. Wood floor and brick wall, and white white clean everywhere else with the exception of some French Bakery red. And the lights were roundy globes hanging at different lengths like an upside down bouquet of- um, globe lights. read more

I have tried macarons from around the world, and Macaron Bar's macarons are the best, bar none. Amazing macarons!

The cookie part of the macaron is blah and dry. They're all the same flavor of almost-almond with different colors in the meringue. The filling is what makes the cookie, apparently. I had a rose macaron on Macaron Day. It was too light and barely floral. I got a lot of sweet, but not a bunch of rose flavor. The cookie was good, but I wasn't blown away. I doubt I'll be back to purchase a sleeve of (expensive) cookies. read more

I like the Macaron Bar - it's a cute environment but I wasn't blown away. I enjoyed the variety of flavors - the raspberry and vanilla are classic. The pistacio with dark chocolate was a little overpowering as well as the salted caramel. Overall, I'd go back and get these for gifts when going places but it wasn't as soft as the famous Laudree Macaroons from Paris. Love the decor, though! read more

Expensive cookies, but you get what you pay for. They have fantastic quality and flavors. I go here for every anniversary and get a sleeve of macaron for the missus. Nothing says love like cookies. read more

My first ever macarons! It was hard to make a decision with the wide selection but we tried a six pack. Framboise, earl grey tea, pistachio, cassis, fahrenheit 513 & salted caramel. I loved the framboise & cassis best. Very interesting dessert option- gluten free and very light. A bit pricey at $2/ macaron but I loved them! read more

The macaroons are ok. It is a very nice shop i just wish the price was cheaper for one piece. It is nice that you can watch them make them and also they offer classes. read more

These macaroons are amazing!!! A little bite of heaven! They have lots of great flavors and you can mix and match to create a box! Perfect for gifting as well! The OTR location is great and makes for a great little snack while strolling through the neighborhood! read more

Macaron Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My boyfriend brought home a large box of these meringue cookies as a surprise for me. At $2 a cookie we weren't that impressed. The flavors are very light, not intense in any way. Of all the cookies we tried, the lemon was the only one that had any type of bold flavor at all. They are fresh though, and I did enjoy the texture. They would make a good accompaniment to coffee, hot tea or even hot chocolate. But I wouldn't go out of my way for these. read more

The heavens had answered my prayers and brought a macaron shop to Cincinnati.. and I am so happy!! Nestled into the perfect spot on Main St., this cute little macaron shop offers a variety of macaron flavors from your typical ones to some other fun flavors. I was very excited to see that they had earl grey tea and green tea matcha ones. I had the macarons here for the first time tonight and was skeptical at first because my first bite was a bit dry and chewy, but after a few more bites into it, I got that buttery and creamy filling that was delicious. I am thinking since I bought them towards the end of the day, they just weren't as fresh.. but they were delicious and made me want to come back for my future macaron cravings! read more

Best Macarons in the Tri State area. None of that gross buttercream crap. Great late night treat!

Awesome place and the macaroons are amazing! Not much seating. There is a good variety of different flavor and they are so fluffy and fresh. One macaroon is $2 and it's hard to eat just one. read more

Macaron Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It was an ok cookie macaroon. The selection was small about six different flavors. The shop was very clean and staff was friendly. Cost $4 per small sized macaron. I tried the strawberry lemon and the double chocolate. Flavors change. read more

I've never bought macarons fresh before. They were very fresh and gluten-free. It was a lot like buying donuts - get a pack of six or twelve. There were a lot of flavors. I picked up 6. I liked the pistachio one the most but all were good. Didn't like the green tea one very much but there were a lot of interesting flavors. I'm giving it 4 stars though because I'm a bit weary of the dyes in the macaroons and the cost was a little much. But hey do what you gotta do. It's a rare place, gotta make money and I wish I had some more. I like this place. Good for a gift - instead of chocolates - give macarons. read more

Good for getting a quick fix, but kind of disappointed in the selection of flavors. Granted, I went at around 2pm in a Sunday, but still. $13 for a pack of 6. The pistachio flavor was by far my favorite. The black raspberry one was also delicious. Hope they expand their selection, but overall had a good experience! read more

This is a lovely shop in OTR with many flavors of delicious macarons. I love that every detail is thoughtful and beautiful down to the packaging. Definitely a great place to check out or pick up a gift. read more

Hands down the best macaron in Cincinnati. The macarons are very good and moist and tasty. The price can be a little expensive, unless you catch the sale price. They need a location north of Cincinnati. I like the interior of the store and how it is decorated and set up, it's crisp and clean looking. read more

These delectable cookies will cause sleepless nights in bed, while you lay awake dreaming of the fluffy, crunchy, creamy, yummy goodness that envelopes your mouth when you bite into one. I'm salivating now as we speak. Every flavour is amazing, but salted caramel, pistachio, vanilla bean, and chocolate are must tries. Staff is super friendly, and my god the coffee is the best cup in town! My credit card has felt many many swipes there since they opened, and it will feel more. read more

Never had a macaron or even heard of the dessert until one of my friends brought me here a couple days ago LoL but they are so good!! I tried a Passionfruit macaron and Lemon macaron. They were full of flavor and nice and chewy. I didn't know what to expect when taking my first bite. I thought it was just some cookie. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about macarons. He said thy even have baking classes there to learn to make your own macarons! Definitely will have to attend one of those read more

So happy to have found a Macaron place here! They don't have a large variety of flavors, but the ones they do have are pretty good. They also have pour-over coffee that you can enjoy with your sweets! read more

Macaron Bar - Passion fruit, champagne, raspberry, coffee, dark chocolate and chocolate strawberry; all my favorite things! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Tasty little things. Addictive. It's a fun spot to take a friend. Several choices of flavors, brightly lit with helpful, sunny staff. Very nice. I do wish they served a plain hot coffee. Maybe they do and I haven't noticed yet. My kid loves them. read more

I passed the Macaron Bar on the way to visit a friend's shop on main and was attracted by the cute little sign and colorful cookies inside. When I saw the price ($2.25 a piece!) I thought I would only buy 1 or 2, but once I started reading through the flavors, I knew I had to get more! After much debating, I settled on the black currant, chocolate strawberry, coffee, and salted caramel. The cookies were perfectly chewy, tastey, and dangerously light. If I had bought more, I could have eaten more! All of the flavors are unique and good. Surprisingly, my favorite flavor was the chocolate strawberry... I thought for sure it would be the coffee. The little seating areas in the window nooks are a nice touch. I'll be back to try the other flavors next time I'm in town! read more

YUM!!!! My favorite is the lemon macaron. 2$ coffee to go with delicious macarons make the perfect afternoon snack on a weekend. I hear they do macaron making classes for 95$ read more

Am definitely a huge fan. Very nice place, looks modern, clean, almost like a lab for those colorful round treats. My favorite flavors are caramel, coffee and raspberry. It always makes a great small gift for my wife, never disappoints! My only complaint: most of the time macarons are fresh and awesome, crunchy and chewy at the same time. But sometimes they seemed a bit stale. Consistent quality is difficult, but possible. Will keep coming back! read more

Some of the best Macarons I've had, hands down. They have tons of flavors, so there's something for every mood and palate here. I got a box of 6, choosing black currant, cinnamon, salted caramel, raspberry, dark chocolate, and passion fruit. The cinnamon and salted caramel stood out, but the passion fruit was the clear winner. If you love passion fruit, these are a soft, chewy passion fruit bomb. If you don't like passion fruit (like my wife), then these aren't for you. The space is very nice and clean, albeit small. I love the funky decor, and the guy working the counter was super nice and explained everything to us. There are only a couple of reasons they don't earn five stars. One is the price. They are just a bit too much at $2. Like someone else said, $1.50 would be perfect. I know Macarons are labor intensive, but it seems most of the price is going into the fancy store front and packaging. Speaking of packaging, that brings me to my other reason for not giving them 5 stars. They have boxes specially made for their half dozen and dozen sizes, but the boxes themselves are only big enough to fit 5 and 11 respectively. They should go with something less fancy that actually fits all of them and pass the savings on to the customer. Still though, the cookies are amazing and I'll definitely be back. read more

They have a lot of great macaroons flavors and they definitely on point! The cookie melts in your mouth and the filling is heavenly. My only wish for is that the price wouldn't be as high. Also they shouldn't rotate flavor a little bit more often. But they are certainly great macaroons! read more

Cool, trendy little spot with good macaroons! The raspberry and salted caramel are two of my favorites! $2/each, 12 for $23. read more

WE popped in the other night while we were waiting for a table at Lachey's [which we never got, so we'll have to try again there, another time:)] And these were everything I had hoped they would be! The guys behind the counter were very friendly, and patient, while I pondered my 6 choices [you can buy boxes of 12 or 6, or just a macaroon] It was a very lovely experience with a lovely bit sized treat at the end! We will definatly be going back! read more

I don't know whether to give this a three or a four star review. Lol I love macaroons so it is biased at best just for the sake of loving them so much. I got a box of six....in order of favorites this is what it was: 1. Pistachio: ate a room temperature like suggested quite a delicious and nutty flavor. 2. Raspberry: always a win with me, all though, it was cream filled and I really enjoy the inside filled with a raspberry purée. 3. Earl grey: the cookie was lovely with a hint of earl grey. The cream filling was buttery and complimented it very well. 4. Rose: the most disappointing of the bunch. I was really sad because rose is my favorite choice of any choice ever given. There was no flavor or scent of rose. It tasted like vanilla. So sad.... It was the one I was most excited about. The directions within the box say to keep refrigerated and let come to room temp before indulging. Since I ordered two raspberry and two rose, I thought it may enlighten the experience at room temp. And so it does, except the Rose. Still a standard almond cookie with cream filling. So sad. As for the consistency of the cookies...they are perfect. Chewy flakey and soft all that the same time...heaven I tell you. The cream inside compliments them most of the time. But, if some macaroons (like the raspberry) were filled with a fruit purée, it would seem more decadent to me. It seems for the sake of simplicity the use one standard cream that they add flavor too...where is the artistry in that?? I will be back if I am in the area. But, I will def just go to Whole Foods' bakery if i was made to choose. The flavors at whole foods are pretty standard, but def live up to what you expect from the flavor. I hope to come back to this place and see if maybe they make a change to the Rose macaroon and actually add some Rose water to it. read more

I recently tried macarons here for the first time so I can't really compare them to other macarons. However, I did think they were delicious and I loved the variety of flavors they had. They were very pricey though. Again, since I haven't had macarons before I'm not sure how the price compares to others. Probably a little too pricey for me to want to go back read more

This is my second time here. I really enjoy the service there! The macaroons are nice and it has different texture. It's chewy, but it has the flavor and it's not too sweet as other shops. Best flavors I love are : rose and pistachio. Although they were sold out today! And the ladies there are very sweet Also their coffee is good Yes it's must go shop in Cincy Update: can't stop loving this place. Their service is always great .. Sarah today provided me with great service. read more

Macaron Bar - Over 12 mouth - watering flavors! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The Macaron Bar is simply AMAZING. I am literally addicted to their macarons because they are unbelievably delicious. I can NEVER come to OTR without stopping by The Macaron Bar, its just SO GOOD! The only NEGATIVE thing about this place is that it is not open 24/7 lol!!! no, really the only down side would be that they don't have enough seatings, I like their decor and I wish they had more seatings so more people can hangout for coffee/tea and macarons instead of grabbing them to go when the available seats are taken. ****Please be advised that if you try their macarons you will become addicted to them, FOREVER! lol read more

Macaron Bar is amazing! We had macarons for our wedding instead of cake. After a mistake, they had excellent customer service and refunded us for that portion. We highly recommend these awesome desserts and this awesome team! We will definitely be back. read more

Macaron Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Oh my macaron. I wish I had a lot of excuses to buy these delightful treats all day long so I can gaze at the pretty colors of macarons in the lovely colorful boxes.. and then eat them all. I bought some to share with my office but after a few tastes I can tell you I half wished that I had kept them all to myself. The flavors are delicate and delicious. You can pair with some essencha teas or deeper roots coffee. The space is bright, open, and modern, and you can see all the magical creation of macarons before your eyes (check out that giant stand mixer!). Love it! read more

Trendy AF. My hubby and I each got one and shared - He had the vanilla and I had the peach. The vanilla was pretty good, but the peach tasted very artificial. Overall I probably won't be back - these are not $2 (each) worth of tasty. read more
