Boston Bonbon

Just recently had a mix of macarons from Boston Bonbon and they were frankly pretty bad.
I got a mix pack as a gift, and the first thing I noticed was how oddly shaped they were — instead of the usual plump cookies, a lot of these were flat like circular disks, and many were lacking feet. The cookies are way delicate — after biting into one I realized the reason was that the cookie was pretty much hollow on the inside. Instead of being chewy, the texture was close to powdery or crunchy. The jam in the middle was relatively non-​existent in some cookies and over-​loaded in others. Overall they were pretty small in size and also cloyingly sweet. A lot of the flavors were simply overwhelmed with the sweetness. I wasn’t sure of the flavors but the bright pink one in particular tasted like I was just chewing on sugar.
The macarons were a little rough, but I get that they’re hard to make. The price was very reasonable, and it seems like Boston BonBon makes some very pretty cakes. I would definitely see myself giving them a second shot in a few months, maybe when they’ve gotten a chance to improve their stock a little bit.
