    If I wrote all of the amazing things about MAE's, this review would be a mile long. I will say that I'm not even a chocolate lover, but I'm obsessed with their bonbons and MAELos, which are a larger, mousse filled dessert version of their bonbons. I'll never buy See's or Godiva again after finding MAE's. Are they a little pricey? Yes. Are they worth it? Oh hell yeah. And if you are lucky enough to live near their factory store like I do, you can go pick out a box for 30% off. You can pick out a prepackaged box (various sizes) or if you are particular like I am, you can choose every flavor you like and they will custom pack a box for you. Besides having the most amazing gourmet flavors I've ever had in a chocolate, take a look at my pics. Have you ever seen such a beautiful chocolate? They literally are art in a box. They make an amazing gift. They have the creamiest filling and the dessert MAElos are unique and a must try. I recommend the bananas foster, amaretto, raspberry, and Hawaiian dream for the bonbons if you like fruity flavors and the bananas foster or strawberry MAElos. Go support a small family owned business and have the best chocolates ever!! I should mention they have macarons too!

    MAE is a wonderful, dangerous place! We had no idea such a treasure existed in Avondale until I spied the building sign as we took the new Fairway freeway exit. The man working inside took wonderful care of us as he explained the available flavors of bonbons and macarons. Mind you, this place isn't cheap--it's an indulgence, and a worthwhile one. These are quality creations. The macarons are without question the best I have had in Arizona, and the amarena bonbons are small bites of pure bliss. We will definitely be back.

    Best Macarons Around Whenever I come across macaron's it stops me in my tracks. It doesn't matter where I'm at; NYC, San Fransico, Dallas, or even Avondale, Arizona. I'm going to stop in and purchase a few of my favorite flavors. However, It can be a challenge to find good macarons with quality flavors and Mae Fine Foods is the place I've been searching for. Not only were the macarons delicious with unique flavors, but their packaging matched the decadence of their baked goods. Fabulous flavors, perfect meringue shell and a little more filling than most. The perfect macaron. Mae Fine Foods is off the beat and path, a little hidden away, but diffently worth the trip. If you have a fondness for macarons, give Mae's a try, you won't be disappointed. Great customer service and delicious macarons.

    Macarons and Bonbons! Who could ask for more? MAE Fine Foods give you more! Our shopping experience was nothing short of amazing. Friendly customer service, easy and quick to purchase, and an incredibly delicious product. Rich and team even gave us a peek into their Wonka factory! It was a magical visit...and we are back for more!

    This place is amazing!! Very friendly and great service. Their macarons are the best I've ever had! The owner Rich really made our experience wonderful especially for my daughter. I live 4 hours away but will most definitely stop by every time We come out this way. Thanks again you guys! Highly recommend!

    Truly horrible service at this location. We walked in picking up an order and the lady who was in…read morethe front counter did not say hi at all. She was on the phone and texting and only acknowledged us after mins of standing there. She could have paused a moment to let us know she'll be with us in a moment, but that didn't happen. Additionally another employee walked in after a break or something. Passed by my girlfriend to go to the back and did not say excuse me. It was rude and unsanitary the way she threw her keys on the prep table for food. Talk about gross practices. Yuck!

    BEWARE. You can not rely on this store to deliver your order…read more I'm on day 3 of hoping my order gets delivered. I ordered a week in advance for May 10th delivery (Mexican Mother's Day). The tracking doesn't update on day of delivery so I call the store towards the end of the day (or so I thought, it sends you to a call center in another country with a 30+ min wait). The customer service agent assures me it will get delivered by EOD (it doesn't). I call back the next day (another 30 min wait) and they said the manager said they had too many orders the day before, but it will definitely be delivered by EOD. Ok, fine, at least mom will get her gift on American Mother's Day instead (it doesn't). I call back the following morning (today) and they "guarantee" it will be delivered today. I'm thinking I might as well try and wait again, as I'm already out the $130 and mom hasn't received a gift on either of the days that moms across North America are getting appreciated. I live across the country so I'm unable to run by a store and hand deliver it myself. Well, today is ending and it's just sad all around. I'll be calling back again tomorrow to get my refund, but I'll still be out hours of my time with some guilt as a special bonus. Man, I just wanted to send my mom something nice for MD.

Everything was so flavorful, fresh and uniquely fantastic. I ordered two entrées to go and wish I had taken more photographs than the ones I have to offer here. There's some type of green hot sauce they have that is enough to give this restaurant five stars alone. FRESH, flavorful and healthy. I cannot wait to go back. Part 2: we went back again tonight for dinner after going there for the first time for lunch. Again all of it was soo good. I HAVE to know the story now about why the street sign ended up being spelled "perubian" instead of Peruvian. Different staff this time, but equally as amazing and knowledgeable. Had such a nice time.

    Let me preface this review by saying that I am reviewing the experience as much, if not more, than…read morethe food and drinks. My wife and I absolutely love New Penny. We actually followed the owners here after frequenting their previous coffee shop, En Route. When they opened New Penny, supporting them was an easy decision. The café is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces: a family-friendly dining area and a lounge-style bar area geared more toward adults. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting. There are house-made dishes, local merchandise, a shaded patio, and plenty of charm throughout. My wife's favorites are the Breakfast Totchos and the Acai Bowl. Personally, I am also a loyal Breakfast Totchos fan. As for drinks, the Copper Coin and the legendary Cowboy Latte are both worth ordering. What truly sets New Penny apart, however, is the people. The owners and staff have created a space that feels inclusive, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the community. Support local businesses. Better yet, support local businesses that are doing things the right way. Get to know the owners. Get to know the staff. Places like New Penny don't just serve food and coffee--they create gathering places. Whether you're meeting a friend, taking a business meeting, enjoying a date, or simply looking for a quiet place to sit by yourself, New Penny delivers. One of my favorite local businesses, and one that my family will continue to support.

    Stopped by Penny Cafe, listed here on Yelp as New Penny Cafe, and my first impression was that the…read moreatmosphere is really nice. It's cozy, inviting, and the overall vibe actually put me in the mind of First Watch. They've created a space that feels like somewhere you could sit down, relax, and enjoy a nice breakfast or brunch. I tried the PB&J Protein Shake. It was good, but would I personally order it again? Probably not. Now, the Cookie Butter Latte Frappe with extra whip? DELICIOUS. That one absolutely gets a repeat order from me. I also took a look at the menu--the sign encourages you to grab one and look it over--and I have to say, several of the food items sound really good. So next time, I do plan to sit down, order some food, and give the full dining experience a try. Now, here's where there is definitely room for improvement: customer service. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and the interaction felt a little standoffish. Nothing terrible happened, but hospitality matters. When you have a cozy atmosphere and a promising menu, the customer service should match that same energy. A simple "Welcome in!" and a warmer interaction can make a major difference in someone's overall experience. There's a lot I like about Penny Cafe, and I definitely see the potential. I'll be back to try the food and that Cookie Butter Latte Frappe again. Hopefully, on my next visit, the customer service will be just as inviting as the atmosphere.

At first I figured that was fine, very normal for any retail store, but it became excessive. As we were looking around they were consistently staring at us, making little comments, maybe it was an attempt at banter but we honestly just wanted to browze and it was becoming obnoxious and intrusive. These girls would not read the room and it started getting to a point where I didn't even want to comment on anything because I was living in fear of what might be said in rejoinder. Finally one of the girls started sort of minding her business behind the counter, but the other stood posted up against the wall eating a bag of doritos and staring us down. She had this odd, smug little smile on her face, and still continued to make comments or ask if we needed help. It's candy...it's pretty straight forward...if we need help we'll inquire. Eventually it got to a point where despite having found several products we were interested in, the demeanor and the vibes were so offputting that we literally walked out. I have no idea what was going on but that was the oddest experience I have ever had in a candy store...probably just gonna stick to other options from now on...
