The Macaron Bar: a simple, pretty, and clean setting where I can sit and feel like a real adult while eating real adult desserts. Don't get me wrong, my children would gobble these macarons up - but this place for mama, who appreciates the work put into each delicious macaron and will savor every bite. It's a cute shop, and so clean looking! With LOTS of flavor options to choose from it's hard to select just a few but I do love the coffee, the birthday cake, and the caramel bourbon macarons. Prefectly crunchy/flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. Mmmm I was attending a hosted event for the Indy Blog Society here and chatted with the owner, who was so nice and gracious. I love meeting business owners who are passionate about what they do and love their customers. They also offer macaron making classes and host parties as well! read more

Macaron Bar - 6 piece box -You pick your own! - Macarons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I have been lucky enough to go to France and have some amazing macarons, but Macaron Bar has it down to a science. The meringue shell has the perfect crunch. I love the earl grey and coconut myself, but my partner swears by birthday cake and pistachio. Worth the price every time. read more

Delicious, simple selection. Packaged super cute. On my list of must visits when I'm downtown Indy.

I visited during a very quiet time for the shop -- a Wednesday afternoon. The owner was there, and she greeted me casually and asked if I'd been in before. I shared that I hadn't, and then I asked some questions about the flavors. I was intrigued by the pumpkin macaron, so I ordered one. That was all I needed to satisfy my curiosity and my sugar craving. ;) And, truth be told, at $2.25 a pop I didn't want to shell out for more than one of these tiny treats. We chatted as I pulled out my debit card, and she pleasantly said "This one's on the house." Here's what I loved: -Um, they gave me a free macaron! -The owner was friendly and casual. -Crisp & clean decor (very minimalistic) but somehow still inviting. I like that you can see all the way to the back of the space. -Plenty of flavors available to choose from during my mid-week visit. -The texture was perfect: Crisp & chewy yet slightly fluffy almond cookie and actual pumpkin filling. Here's what I'd like to see: -More beverage options available. There were waters and fancy sweetened beverages. I'd like to see a warm coffee or tea option if possible to help offset the sweetness. But, then again, there's a Starbucks across the street. -Seeing the pastry chefs in action would be cool! -I'm a sucker for local ingredients. If they use them, they should shout it from the rooftops (or, maybe just list them near the flavors). Way to go Macaron Bar. You sucked me in with the surprise of a free macaron on my first visit and now I must come back! Fine, fine, twist my arm. ;) read more

Such a cute little shop! A variety of flavors. I'm not sure if they're done with setting the place up or not because it seems quite empty behind the counters. Located on mass ave which is great because I stumbled in here because of the long waits at restaurants so it's great if you are starving. Two small seating tables - but defiantly a Instagram worthy place! For someone who doesn't have a sweet tooth, this place is great! I've had some macaron that were too sweet but these are too overpowering. read more

I loved these macarons! I was definitely expecting rows and rows of macarons so I was shocked when there were only 6 kinds. I'm not sure if that's the norm or if it was just the time of day tho. Regardless, they were all delightful and they had a special where you got 6 extra macarons when you purchased a dozen. read more

Love it here! Bringing the kids tomorrow! Best macarons ever! My favorite is the pistachio!

I love places like this! I have a big sweet tooth, but if you haven't had a macaron before, I really can't recommend this place enough! Be sure to sign up for their loyalty program so you can get a free macaron right then and there. There are so many flavors. Your best bet is to get a 6 pack or bigger so you can get a variety. They have a few drinks you can buy in bottles, but it's really just all about the macaron. There are a couple tables and chairs you can sit in to devour your goodies if you want, but the majority of the customers come in and take their purchases with them. It's just a fun place I can't recommend enough! Their macarons are so pretty and the flavors are enjoyable. I think my favorites are the dark chocolate and the coffee. read more

I'm SO GLAD I have this place a second chance. I've actually been in twice since my initial visit and the staff was friendly, helpful (& the macarons were still delicious). The employee walked me through their rewards club details (just picked up my free birthday macaron) and was great at helping to select some tasty treats for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. You can get macarons by the single or sleeves to-go. They also offer classes! The special holiday flavors are also delightful. Be sure to try the specialty options that rotate through each season! My favorites are Lemon-Lavender, Earl Grey, Gingerbread, and Dark Chocolate. read more

It's really cool that you can see them making the macaroons right in front of you! They have many classic options but also a few that aren't our everyday macaroon. Both of the macaroons that I tried were baked to perfection. The Earl Grey is great flavor without being overwhelming. The other flavor, Lemon Lavender, was good too, but definitely had some noticeable zest (but of course!) Definitely check this place out while you're at the nearby shops! read more

By far the best macarons in Indy! We order from here more than we should, but they are so yummy! Some of our favorite flavors are cookies and cream, pistachio, and the seasonal. We highly recommend, read more

We had so much fun down on Mass Ave this evening! I mean you can't go wrong with macarons. The boys loved them. Max's favorite was the birthday cake & Liam's favorite was ALL OF THEM! ⁣ ⁣ The shop is so cute & the staff was wonderful. There were so many delicious flavors, I appreciated them sharing their favorites. With the holidays coming up, a box of macarons would make the perfect gift. Try the caramel apple for fall. Or one of my two personal favorites; Earl Grey Tea or Pistachio (you can see all the flavors in my stories) ⁣ read more

I ordered 12 macarons online for in store pick up. The online ordering process was quick and easy. I wanted to order pistachio flavored macarons, but it was not a flavor option. I added a note to my order requesting pistachio if possible and otherwise a different flavor combo. Not only did I get pistachio, but also 2 other flavors. I was also given a few extras which were quickly devoured because THESE ARE THE BEST MACARONS I HAVE EVER EATEN. Perfect texture and the flavor was delicious. I am working on making up reasons to buy more. I would also like to mention the packaging is really great as well. read more

Treat yo' self! I've been here 3 times now, and I've been impressed every time! They have a large selection of regular and seasonal flavors of their fluffy macarons. From pistachio to rose to coffee, I've loved every flavor I've tried so far! If you pushed me to pick a favorite, I'd probably have to go with the earl grey. The tea is great, but the macaron is even better! read more

I had been waiting for the grand opening of Macaron Bar, so when I started seeing reviews pop up, I made a trip downtown to check them out. I grabbed some street parking (metered) along Vermont and walked over to Mass Ave. I figure if a business makes good enough macarons (and nothing else!) to stay in business, they must be good. If the business is good enough to franchise (out of Cincy), they must be really good! And they are! The shop has a few seats in the window that are great for people watching. Then there are the display counters with a colorful array of macarons, all kinds of flavors. Beyond that, there are spotlessly clean tables and ovens for the baking classes they offer. And the macarons are delicious! I was first introduced to macarons (do not confuse these with macaroons which have chewy coconut) at Gallery Pastry in Broad Ripple and I thought these just as good. The macarons here are tasty and with the egg white based cookies, melt in your mouth down to the tasty filling. They have a variety of regular flavors and add in some seasonal options as well. I picked up a box of six that I made the selection. (They sell them individually as well.) There are flavors like Black Raspberry Chocolate, Pistacho, Caramel Apple, and Spiced Pumpkin. With flavors like that, who wouldn't want to stop by! Review #1473 read more

Looking for quality macarons that are reasonably priced? Then look no further than Macaron Bar on Mass. Ave! With a wide variety of great flavors they will have something for everyone. You can either order ahead online for pickup, delivery, or order in person and have had good experiences with both ordering ahead online and picking up in person. I would recommend getting a 12 pack so you can try multiple flavors and see which ones are your favorite (it also comes in a cool box w/ a card that shows which flavors you have based on color). Some of my wife and I's favorite ones are Birthday Cake, Lemon Lavender, Red Velvet, & Mimosa. They also offer classes so you can learn how to make them, which would make for a good date idea. The store is very clean and I love the high ceilings & natural light that comes in. I highly recommend visiting Macaron Bar and will be returning soon. read more

My most recent order was delivery because I cannot shake a macaron craving when it hits! Macaron Bar has a good variety of flavors while still keeping the staples in stock & hosting a rotating seasonal macaron. Rose, pistachio and earl gray are absolute must tries. Each macaron is the perfectly balance of flavorful & subtle as to not detract from the delicacy of the cookies. A couple of the six in my last order were on their last acceptable day and turning a bit stale, but they were still enjoyable. Overall, if you have a sweet tooth it will be satisfied by an order from Macaron Bar & your wallet won't take a hit as the prices are acceptable for the quality. (An added bonus is how cute their packaging is!) read more

My granddaughter and I received lessons at the Macaron Bar as a Christmas gift, and it was a wonderful experience! It's a 3 hour class, but the time flew by. Nathan is a wonderful teacher, and you actually get to make your own macarons, rather then just watching someone else. This includes all the steps, mixing and piping the shells, mixing the filling, filling the macarons, and then boxing them up to take home. I would highly recommend this class. ( The macarons they sell in the store are very good, also!) read more

Macaron Bar - Macarons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I had some time to kill last night before the Yelp Elite event at the nearby Cyrus Place, so I decided to head down Mass Avenue to check out Silver in the City and Global Gifts. I wasn't in the mood for dinner, but being that I'm getting older I figured "Hey, why not start with dessert anyway?" I spied Macaron Bar, which despite its local feel is actually not a local biz but the Indy location of a 4-location mini-chain that I believe started in Cincinnati and now includes spots in Indy, Pittsburgh, and Louisville. First off - let's clarify that these are not macaroons. They're macarons. Yes, there's a difference. Macarons are a meringue-based cookie with almond flour, egg whites, and granulated and powdered sugar that is then filled with buttercream, ganache, or fruit curd. They have a crunchy exterior, a light and fluffy interior, and have a kind of nougat-like ending that allows it to linger a bit. Macaron Bar offers about 14 regular flavors along with seasonal flavors. The prices are reasonable, though the price per macaron decreases the more you purchase. As I recall, one was priced at $2.25 - a nice little treat if you're having a sweet tooth but don't really want to go bonkers. This location is located in an older spot on Mass Avenue right next to Flying Cupcake and not too far from Sub-Zero. Basically, this is a block of indulgence with Starbucks also right across the street. The storefront is rather smallish - the decor is clean and simple with 2-3 small tables near the front window and a small selection of drinks, though to be honest I didn't check out this option fully. The front door is your typical Mass Avenue front door - a bit heavy, but basically manageable. As you enter, the ordering counter is directly in front of you and the macarons available are on full display. I liked that you don't get a weird look if you only order one. I was greeted by the friendly face of Hope, who also explained about Macaron Bar's reward club that lets you add up points for purchases and earn rewards. She mentioned signing up for it on my next visit, which seemed a little odd, but maybe that was because I gave off this vibe of not being a regular Mass Ave customer. Regardless, she was super friendly. I ordered one macaron - a red velvet. It was given to me in a small bag, yet it was nicely protected and I had no trouble taking it with me to my next stop where I promptly ate it while shopping. It was delish. I wasn't quite sure if I'd fully appreciate it, but I gave serious thought to stopping back in to get another. I will certainly do so next time I am in the area. As has been noted, and really shouldn't be surprising, the Macaron Bar features macarons and nothing else. However, that model works fine for Flying Cupcake - so, hopefully Indy will embrace it as I found the product high quality, the employee super friendly, the interior comfortable, and I look forward to returning. read more

I was excited to check this place out since I had visited their Louisville location and loved the interior. Think Apple - clean, seek, and crisp white lines with an emphasis on the products: the macaroons. This location is a bit different visually but the same idea. They offer macaroons, single or a variety of sizes. You'll get a better deal the more you buy, but they're still pricy. I went with the coffee flavor this time. I should have listened to the employees's suggestion saying it was her least favorite. It was also my lease favorite flavor I've had from there. It was a bit on the bland side and didn't offer a strong coffee flavor that I was looking for. I'll def be back as I want to take one of their macaron classes. Here's to hoping they'll partner with Tinker Coffee and get that coffee macaron flavor a nice, local boost. ;) read more

I received a dozen macarons as a gift, and was so excited to finally try. I tried salted caramel, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, and pistachio. First of all - these macarons are HUGE. My favorite flavors were pistachio and vanilla. The chocolate was almost too chocolaty (something I rarely say), and the salted caramel was too salty for my liking. I wished that there was more filling in the center. It didn't seem proportional to the size of the cookie. The sad thing about these is their shelf life - they need to be eaten fresh; I would say within 1-2 days. read more

I'm just not sure how long a macaron-only bar will last. There is literally nothing else, so I hope you really like macarons! It's a bright, cheery interior, but it's not very cozy, so it's not somewhere you are going to stay for very long. I was expecting more of a classy date night spot, but this is more grab and go. They are not actually baking the macarons in the store yet, but I heard that is coming soon. I thought the taste of the macarons was pretty chewy and thick, so I filled up on them faster than other places. read more

The Macaron Bar is a brightly lit clean little shop where you can get some delicious macarons. For $13 you can get a six pack ($25/12) of your favorite choices. Today we chose dark chocolate, birthday cake, lemon lavender(my fav), red velvet, coffee, and earl grey. Macarons are light and not as sweet as many traditional American desserts which can be nice in a hot summer day. read more

I found out this had just opened and had to stop by. I walked in and it smelled brand new. The employee was very nice. He asked me how I had heard about the Macaron Bar and if I had ever had one. I was debating between the Madagascar vanilla or the coffee. I chose the coffee even though I'm a vanilla lover. Anyway, I tried the pistachio and it was soft and had a lot of flavor. They have a lot of room behind the counter for macaron classes! The employee said you will make four varieties of macarons! You will go home with about 2 dozen macarons and a recipe. It's very clean and modern and simple inside. No table to sit and eat just a few chairs. It's nice to see a new business that offers a fun class to learn! read more

Wanted to write a new review as I recently attended Macaron Bar's "Intro to Macarons" class with a friend during COVID-19 times. I purchased this class for me and a friend a while back and it was postponed/cancelled twice so when the opportunity finally came that a class would be held, we were super excited. I was very impressed with the precautions and steps that Macaron Bar took to ensure that our class would be safe. The space is already small so they are limited classes to 4-6 people. We were provided masks if we did not have one and there were ample dispensers of hand sanitizers in the whole place. We also were instructed to wash our hands between period of the class, especially if we stepped outside or touched our phones, etc. Equipment was wiped down and disinfected if we had to share, such as the stand mixer, bowls, and food processor. Aside from the safety precautions, the class was very informational and I enjoyed that we were able to watch the instructor first before attempting to follow along hands-on. We went home with 2 dozen of cookies each and overall the class was so much fun. I highly recommend the class to those curious about how these cookies are made or just a fun bonding time with friends! read more

Yes, I visited the non local macaron bar!!! I wanted just to try it :) They have a nice selection but for being that is all they serve, I was expecting even more. We got a dozen and tried several flavors. Earl grey was definitely my favorite!!! Hubby liked the dark chocolate. The fillings on these is thicker than we like as the overall macaron was more dense. The lavender and lemon didn't work at all. There was an odd taste to them. So we will stay loyal to our fave Gallery... local shop for our macarons in the future. read more

Everything is great about this place - location, design, the variety of macaroons, and extra services like events or macaroon classes. We got a dozen of macaroons in a beautiful box all of them tasted perfectly. The price for a dozen is $25 which is on a higher range. A dozen of delicious macaroons at Trader Joe's is $4.99 and they are awesome. Unfortunately, I can't justify spending 500% for macaroons here although they are very yummy. read more
