ICE CREAM Sandwiches here... ARE LEGIT!!! Sadly, quite a ways from any freeway access, so gotta travel a bit to get to these yummies! Well worth the effort though! Yelp directions are spot on. Parking ample. Tuan the owner is a really cool bloke, and easy to talk to. The hours here aren't conducive to any evening jaunts so you really gotta plan accordingly if you wanna sink your teeth into any of these delights. Macarons are the specialty here. The ice cream sandwiches are "supposedly" just a bonus feature people may stumble upon. GLAD I DID!!! Paying homage to California creams, Fosselman's Ice Cream is used to finalize the sammies. Sandwiches are MADE TO ORDER, and NOT pre-made. *PISTACHIO Macaron with BLUE MONSTER Ice Cream ($3.75): The beauty of macarons for ice cream sammies is that they crumble PERFECTLY with every bite. No pushing ice creams globs to the back end. Everything stays right in place, so perfect bites every time! The flavor of the large pistachio macaron is evident, a lovely pleasant surprise. And this being Fosselman's Ice Cream, it's a dense creamy texture with a wonderful flavor. Combined... DELIGHTFUL! I was in a state of bliss enjoying this creation on one of the tables inside when Owner Tuan asked from behind the counter, "How is it?" With a noticeable "OMG!" grin, I can only say, "THIS is... SO GOOD!" *VANILLA Macaron with TARO Ice Cream($3.75): I enjoyed the first sandwich so much, I got a second one for the road! HAH! Same perfect crumble for this macaron too, but flavor was less evident here. I suspect since I combined it with Taro Ice Cream with its bold flavor it kind of masked the macaron flavor. Still every bit delicious as the first one. And I didn't care one bit about the ensuing traffic the rest of the drive home. lol ;P IMHO, Probably THEE BEST ICE CREAM SANDWICH In Southern California, from my experience, and I've tried many. Too bad the operating hours here don't make it easy for me to hit it with some frequency. Oh well, easy recommendation, regardless! ;) read more

Hours incorrect. Closed at 2:04 PM on a Tuesday when I went. Not sure what the right hours are.

These are the freshest macrons! They offer many flavors, including unique flavors taro, durian, peppermint, green tea, rose petal,pumpkin.... My favorites are coconut, chocolate, raspberry, espresso, but I love so many it's not easy to choose! I like to order the 42 piece box. They lay them flat and look so delicious, they're are a big hit at parties. I love to indulge in a 6 piece box for myself! You can buy them in advance and keep them refrigerated. They are a distributor to retailers so they are fresh! The have hours that open around noon, but call or check for special hours near holidays. I often order in advance for a later pick up. Grab a bite to eat at their family restaurant next door, they have the best garlic noodles! Located next to Cost Less store in Home Depot strip mall. read more

Hours are wrong. Maybe this business has closed? I've tried coming here twice now and it's always closed.

Was craving Macaroons and saw this location has them. Called the place and the owner pickup and took the order. Picked up the order next door and went home. These macaroons are a bit bigger than the one you would see at lettle. The ones I got were vanilla bean and sea salt caramel both were delicious. Sweet creamy middle and soft flaky crackers cover it Will come back when I have more craving or would want to share withe friends and family. read more

The macarons here are amazing and prices are really affordable. I'm used to paying at least $2 per macaron but at XT Patisserie, it's only $10 for a box of 6! There are lots of flavors to choose from and trust me you can't go wrong with any of them. My personal favorites are passionfruit and taro. I saw that they have durian too, and I can't wait to try that next time. I chatted with the chef a bit and found out he's classically trained in France so you know this place is legit! read more

Xt Patisserie - Delicious macarons! (5 out of 5) - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

GREAT bang for your buck place to get french macarons, or as I like to call it, little sugar hamburgers. We found this place at the very tail end of a strip mall parking lot. No clue what XT stands for but Patisserie peaked our interest enough to walk in. They lured us in all right, I was hooked immediately when I saw macarons for a fantastic price. I'm super picky about my french macarons. They have to be the right consistency and texture or else they are on my blacklist. Luckily, XT does their job right. The macarons we tried were all perfect. Flavors were great, perfect chewiness, and to top it all off, they have macaron ice cream sandwiches, the way to my heart. It seemed like the owners were the ones running the shop. They were very friendly. The place is small, but neat, clean, and not busy. The prices are well worth the pit stop when you're driving by. read more

The guy works today Saturday June 18th 2021 just an ignorant as he doesn't care about customer. Waited there for 10 minutes and still no service plus he did not let me use a restroom. He needs to be trained for covid protocol as California already opened since June 15th so there is not a reason he keep restroom only for employee plus I believe there is an employees restroom in the back. He also already have dine-in so meaning he only take the sales but not the service. So dumb. Merely sweet is much nicer as they know how to treat customer and only few miles down the road. read more

I got a dozen since I was nearby and wanted to try this place. Right now they have 25% off if you check in on yelp. A dozen is $19 but I got it for $14.25 ($15.46 w/ tax) They have a lot of choices to choose from: I got durian, 2 earl greys, 2 pistachios, rose, passionfruit, sea salt caramel, eggnog, raspberry, and coffee. My favorites were the rose and raspberry. The sea salt had an aftertaste that was weird. The durian really tasted like durian but it wasn't overwhelming, just don't smell it alot. They had some other flavors like peppermint and eggnog for the holidays, lemon, green tea, chocolate, taro,and vanilla with others too. They also have ice cream macaroons ($2.75) too. Plus they give a free sample of macaroon of your choice. The owner was nice and the place is clean. It's near Home Depot and Arco near the CVS distribution center off Lambert. read more

M If you haven't been here - and the business hours are not usual as they are a little restrictive - but it's definitely worth it!

TRUST ME ON THIS AS YOU DO WITH SO MANY OTHER YELPS! The place is small - I mean SMALL - and slightly hidden, but steer towards the gas station and look just behind it, next to the Chinese Food Spot. It's very clean. The owner was very nice. The Macarons look top notch and taste it as well!! Bring someone with you and chill on the patio. Or grab them up and meet some friends and share them!! Whatever you decide...COME CHECK THIS OUT!! Tell the owner Chef Will sent you!! Thanks for following me. And if you don't...WHY!? HELLO!! Get your grub on folks!!

And like I said before, there are MANY MANY options! He helped me by telling me some of the best sellers! The place was not busy. I was the only one in there, but there are places to sit inside.

Maybe it was not a good day for me to stop by there. I went to take the local way since the fwy was a mess and came across this little patisserie. Was going to try the macaroons the 6pcs for $9.50 placed on like a deli bag or 6pcs for $10 packed on their macaroon's bag? I am thinking.....your box is a free advertising, should have given it at the same price. Hmmm maybe, i haven't been to a macaroons place that asked these questions before. Anyhow, decided to try their mocha cafe ice cream, believe it or not the ice cream has soo much ice, the texture kinda like hmmm old ice cream. Like if you bought an ice cream and forgot that you ever own one and when you decided to eat them you are left with ice inside of the ice cream box. Not appetizing at all. I gave 3 stars because the lady who served me was pretty friendly. read more

Ok so they say that their macaroons are fresh made daily, and they are wholesale Guess what I asked for a lemon macaroon The server went to the back room, got me a FROZEN lemon macaroon. The box doesn't even have their store logo on it, the box has Eiffel Tower art on it. They didn't even speak english man Idk how this place got 4.5 stars??? GG read more

The Great SoCal Macaron Throwdown Continues! In case you missed this: http://www.yelp.com/list/the-great-socal-macaron-throwdown-los-angeles Having tried macarons from the infamous Ladurée Paris side-by-side with 'Lette, I can confirm 'Lette defers to Ladurée in my head to head taste test. http://www.yelp.com/biz/laduree-paris-2?q=Roland I was compelled to write this review for XT Patisserie as part of "The Throwdown" because of JULIE L's review. Her review claims XT's superiority over 'Lette Macarons of Beverly Hills. She and I also had an exchange in which she claimed that XT supplies Pacific Bakery macarons. I have tried Pacific Bakery's macarons and I can truly claim that THEY ARE NO WHERE AS GOOD AS 'LETTE! For the record, I called Pacific this morning and asked if they make their macarons. The sweet mature lady told me over the phone that they baked them there twice a week and they did so this morning! =/ Furthermore, I have tried XT Patisserie's macarons, and they do not beat 'Lette either. They are actually a hair behind DoLy's Delectables. http://www.yelp.com/biz/dolys-delectables-long-beach#hrid:WuqoxY2eAJCzOe9-Znc6bQ I'm not going to claim that I am the "Be all...End all" authority on macarons but if you've been following me, you'll know that I've been pounding the macarons like it's nobody's business! Yes, I've spend over $125 on macarons the last 4 weeks and ATE EACH AND EVERY ONE! But a claim that XT is greater than 'Lette...now, those are fightin' words! Yesterday, I had the privilege of testing XT macarons by way of Essential Chocolate Desserts in Culver City. Flavors tested were Pistachio and Raspberry. What I liked about XT's macarons is that between my fingers, they feel similar to 'Lette. They also have a shell pretty close to 'Lette's shell. XT's pistachio macaron flavor is very good, but I found the filling to be pasty. Raspberry tasted and looked like jam and does not taste nearly as good as 'Lette's ganache. XT's raspberry filling was too sweet and tasted artificial, compared to 'Lette's which tastes like you are eating an actual raspberry! XT's cookie was not as moist as 'Lette. Here's a picture of two raspberry macarons, 'Lette is on the left & Ladurée on the right. Please notice the deep color and moistness of both cookies! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KnYQGYFGINiesmlBiOGecQ?select=KU1x1-MYetDq5uXQoQ_ESg Now, notice that the cookie from XT is not as moist! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AYsqFoiw1kgVvBZ9EBASjQ?select=FSWgmJPjCdGANE8iA4Lubw Final thoughts? XT Patisserie macarons are respectable. Are they better than Ladurée? Heaven's no!!! Are they better than 'Lette? Not close!!! In The Great SoCal Macaron Throwdown, they respectfully garner 3rd place behind DoLy's Delectables. read more

- Locale Destination - I was asked to taste the macarons for my buddy, so I haven't been to the shop. This review is strictly for their macarons. - Gluttony Expedition - Texture: Not gooey but soft. The best I've ever had - but I'm not that experienced like my yelp buddy, Gloria Z. *** Good *** Rose pedal: Great. I love anything "rose" flavor. My fav. Passionfruit: Full flavor, great filling. My fav. Orange blossom: Unique flavor. Vanilla beans: OK. Taro: Strong flavor. Good filling. I don't think it's a "natural" flavor since I cooked it by myself. Real taro root has a lot more subtle and "sweet potato" like flavor. But tasty nonetheless. *** Meh *** Chocolate: Nothing special. Earl gray: The filling was very bitter - almost too bitter. Green tea: Filling is good but little matcha flavor. Coconut: It's hard to detect "coconut" flavor. Hazel nuts: This tasted like "hazel nut syrup". It didn't taste "real". Sea salt caramel: Very strong caramel filling with a hint of salt. Interesting. - Conqueror's Deduction - 3.5 star because it's not bad, but not something I would crave. I'm not a macaron fan. Macarons are gooey and not so satisfying for the price/taste in general. I'm really careless about this dessert. I know it's a bit harder to make it than cookies, but I still think those are way overrated and overpriced like cup cakes. When does the sugar become so expensive in this country???? Sugar is freaking cheap but the sugar products are way over priced - especially for the quality. But I had a decent share of tasting them at many places due to my Yelp buddy who likes those stuff. ** Overall ** Texture: The best I've ever had - not gooey but soft. Flavors: very interesting, adventurous and Asian. They got some high notes on some flavors. Filling: a lot softer and flavorful than usual. Sweetness: A little too sweet for me overall. Not bad, though I'm not interested in finding the best one nor trying this place again. read more

I don't have a sweet tooth, nor do I search out desserts, but the very first time I tried XT Patisserie's macarons, I fell instantly in love. Back then they were sold at the Irvine Great Park farmers' market, and then they became available at OC Wine Mart as well. Since then -- which was several years ago -- I've remained a big fan. I'd have to say I've tried almost all of their flavors and my favorites include all the fruity tart ones such as raspberry, passionfruit and lemon. The specialty ones like Earl Grey and Lavender are unique as well. My friends and I even did a taste comparison one time with macarons from different places including 'Lettes (originally Paulette's) and some other ones which I can't quite remember now, and XT won hands down. The texture of the macarons are perfectly chewy with an initial crisp/crunch. It isn't soggy or too chewy which appeals to me. The middle layer is also in perfect unison to the two 'sandwich' sides -- never overpowering, and always balanced in sweetness. This is the perfect gift during Christmas time and I also like to give them away for birthdays or bring them to parties and have always received compliments for bringing them. Chef Xuan is trained in Paris and creates these macarons (and other desserts) so immaculately and delicately he's turned me into someone who actually likes eating these sweets. read more

I am so excited to report that it is finally opened last Saturday!! I have tried their Macarons before and love them. I have been waiting for them to open in our neighborhood. I tried a couple of samples and got two dozen assortments. My favorite is Taro. I don't eat too much sweet but these are not too sweet and have perfect textures. We can pick your favorite flavors or ask them to pick by their recommendation. They are perfect Christmas present!!! I am super happy that they opened their place in La Habra!! read more

Walked, dark, no one to greet us. Asian lady came out, she doesn't speak a lick of English. We tried asking for a flavor they had on display but were out of, lady goes in the back and takes out a factory made box (I recognize them because my family is in the food business too) and serves us a frozen macaron. Extremely disappointed, not fresh, not daily made, not soft like a real macron should be. Save your money and make the trip to honey and butter read more

If you have a new obsession for macarons, then look no further. XT Patisserie has macarons that will blow your socks off. They are available at various locations throughout Southern California so check out their website. I had the opportunity to try them at OC Wine Mart but they are also available on Sundays at the Farmers Market at the OC Great Park. My favorite so far has been passion fruit which has a wonderfully complex citrus note in it. The chocolate, caramel, and vanilla are also delicious. I really want to try the Earl Grey one of these days. I'll have to seek them out soon. read more

I had no idea macarons could taste so good. My first encounter with them was when I vacationed in Hawaii and stayed at the Trump Waikiki Hotel. Upon check-in, there was a package of macron, along with other goodies, in the room waiting for us! I don't know where Trump got his but I have found my favorites at XT Patisserie! These macarons are light and crunchy and bursting with flavor!! They are so cute and pretty to look at and so yummy to eat! I specially love the chocolate and caramel ones. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AYsqFoiw1kgVvBZ9EBASjQ?select=qd3h0sqExBtbg-5g6qIY0Q http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AYsqFoiw1kgVvBZ9EBASjQ?select=FJQbCexNoMu4wAfJiyNTiA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AYsqFoiw1kgVvBZ9EBASjQ?select=YSOM8HOaMpECFtGq4BtwFA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AYsqFoiw1kgVvBZ9EBASjQ?select=Q9Yc2Z9l7NohsFmP4zUn7Q And the best part, you can get them now at OC Wine Mart & Wine Tasting Bar - http://www.yelp.com/biz/oc-wine-mart-and-wine-tasting-bar-irvine-2!

Delightful! You wouldn't expect a gourmet marcaron shop to be in this strip mall, but I'm so glad it is. The store is clean and bright. The gentleman who greeted and helped me was very nice and friendly. These macarons are just slightly larger than normal and I loved their flavors. The price is also ever so slightly lower than most at $1.70 each or a dozen for $19. They also have little baby macarons for 99¢ each. I ordered a dozen regular ones and got 15% off my order with my Yelp check in. I got raspberry, strawberry cream cheese, rose petal, lavender, earl grey, taro, coconut, kalamansi, passion fruit, sea salt caramel, durian, and pistachio. (Note: I'm not a chocolate fan.) I am having a really hard time choosing my favorites. If I had to, I'd say sea salt caramel. You can clearly taste the sweet caramel contrasting with the sea salt. Coconut, because theirs is like a hybrid of a macaron with a delicate macaroon. Also, the Rose petal and lavender. They are acquired tastes, but if you like those flavors, XT does a great job balancing them. XT's flavors a very pronounced, which I loved. So when you get taro, it actually tastes like taro. I've had some from other shops that are just purple and taste of the almonds. The strawberry cream cheese one had a surprise strawberry filling in the middle of the cream cheese filling. Yummy. The only one I didn't like was the kalamansi. It's like tart lemon. I felt it was too sour for such delicate cookies. I'm definitely looking forward to my next trip to XT Patisserie for an indulgent snack or maybe for a girly party with their 5-tier displays ($105 for 65 pieces). read more

Had to revise this review after consuming the other flavors in the sampler. Again, the flavors are good but the macarons are missing the chewiness texture. I recently had a macaron from Euro Pane and again, it had a similar texture as ones that I've had from Bouchon. None of the XT macarons had this so I'm dropping a star. After having had the one from Euro Pane, I highly doubt I'll be ordering from them in the near future. read more

My kids love macarons so we popped in for an after school treat. Lots of flavors to choose from, beautiful presentation as well. My kids chose coffee, chocolate, vanilla, peppermint and sea salt caramel. They liked the chocolate the best, the coffee was too strong and the sea salt caramel was a bit hard to chew threw but flavor was there (I had a bite). They also had chocolate ice cream which was delicious. The older gentleman who rang us up was very nice and struck up a convo with my little one because he was wearing a Pokémon shirt. Not the best macarons we've had but it's very close to us and we will be back. read more

I don't ever remember having a Macaroon and I am always up for trying new things. I have been to Patisserie 3 times and I can never decide if I should get a few macaroons, or their awesome ice cream, or BOTH! As far as the quality of these beautifully hand crafted macaroons there is a decent variety for any type of tastebuds. If you like sweet and fruity maybe try strawberry cheesecake. Looking for something more bold try the coffee or salted Carmel. I don't have a favorite since I havn't tried all the flavors yet however, I really enjoyed the lemon and coffee macaroon so far Just out of curiosity I tried the macaroons that are frozen from Trader Joes and Patisserie wins on quality and flavor hands down. Obviously fresh beats frozen almost every time but I was surprised to see how much more flavor Patisserie's filling had vs Trader Joes.

The shells were both soft and a little crunchy and the filling wasn't super sweet. My favorite was the lavender for sure.

I called no answer, I came here and lights off then the lady waved her hand for me to leave. Wow, never coming here again. Disappointed

At first we thought they were closed since it was completely empty and there were boxes on one side of the wall. Even though the macarons were delicious I'm giving this place a low rating because of the experience. It was extremely hot as you can see in my picture the temperature was at 82 degrees. And then the owner talked to us for ten minutes, complaining about the fact that he has to keep it open because it is a store front; and how his wife gets mad every time he shares this story with customers. I can see why his wife gets mad, after his story time I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. Why not lease/rent a warehouse if you are just a distributor? read more

I had been wanting to try macarons for the longest time... And I found a place near home that has made me soooo happy! Most places I've come across on Yelp charge so much per, but here they have reasonable prices and an amazing product. I have a hard time deciding which flavor is my favorite, the salted caramel, and hazelnut are in the running, I can't decide! The flavors are distinctive from one another which I really appreciate, and I am savoring every last one as much as possible. I think I will be sooo sad when I finish them..
