Macaron Café

Cute café with everything you could possibly want, ranging from macarons (obviously), crepes, gelato, salads, sammies, etc. You can buy gift boxes of cutely packaged macarons with flavors like peanut butter and jelly — a little pricey but would make a great gift. The interior of the café is as cute as the macarons themselves. The kale salad that I had was very filling and delicious — well worth the price and filled with quinoa, beets, yellow raisins and a delish deviled egg.

Great friendly service, air conditioned with tables for two that could easily be moved for larger groups.
Free Wi-​Fi and yes under every seat to charge your phone #lifesaver.
I chose the Earl Grey macaron flavour and have no regrets. This place is a great little escape :)

I’ve never visited Macaron Café myself, but my husband would come to this particular location to pickup a small box for me every once in a while to keep me happy. I’m no macaron expert but I’ve had my fair share throughout the city and I certainly love me some macarons! Macaron Café is probably my most favorite macaron boutique in New York City.
You can purchase a small box of 6 macarons for $ 15 and it’ll come with a cute decorative ribbon bow. It also comes with a flavor list card so you can know what flavor each little cookie is. These tasty treats make such a perfect gift and is almost too pretty to eat! They have a thin crisp shell with just the right amount of a chewy interior, and it simply melts in your mouth. There are countless of flavors to choose from but some of my favorites are the Earl Grey, Wedding Almond, and Passion Fruit. I love that each macaron flavor is so distinctive and different from one another. I don’t care for the crème brûlée and I find the honey lavender to be particularly gross (I don’t like lavender-​flavored anything as it’s too perfume-​like and reminds me of aromatherapy and essential oils) but hey, to each their own.
If there’s one thing I wish they have are cute character shaped macarons like Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Toro, and such like one other super popular macaron boutique. Just for us people who like to take pictures of our food and all things adorable.
Anyway, come get a box of macarons to spoil someone special or just as a treat for yourself.

Great find in TriBeCa. Had the pistachio, coconut and raspberry macaroons. They were moist and delicious.
This is a little corner shop that also has sorbets but the macaroons are the main attraction.
My wife is the macaroon fan but these were really good. I would come back when I am in the area.

Some of the best macaroons I have ever had! My favorite is the lychee flavor and the lavender. This place won’t disappoint if you need to get your macaroon fix. Also if you get at least six they have a beautiful presentation box and bag with ribbon!

A perfect stop after a long walk in the afternoon, get a cappuccino and one of their awesome Macaron selection, choose between honey lavender, matcha tea, passion fruit, etc. A great service and environment!

Incredible Macarons made fresh. Fresh salads also available which looked delicious, but did not try. Authentic strong French coffee was a pleasant surprise!

We were wandering around TriBeCa and were in desperate need of a cup of coffee. Low and behold, Macaron Café appeared before us.
We had:
2 lattes
milk chocolate marshmallow macaron
honey lavender macaron
lemon macaron
All were very good. The cookie part of the macaron is a bit chewier than I like but I still enjoyed it. The bathroom was also extremely clean.

Cappacino was delicious and perfectly made. Large selection of macarons but a little pricey. The Nutella and salted caramel was pretty good but not as light and fluffy.

I’ve tried the Macaron from Macaron Café before and they were very yummy!
My boyfriend & I stopped by Macaron Café to pick up a small box to give to a friend for his birthday/​Christmas gift. A small box is actually quite expensive in my opinion for $ 22.00 and you only get 8 macarons.
I decided to pick a set of three macarons up to share with the boyfriend and we tried the following:
Matcha Green Tea was my absolute favorite because it tasted like real real Matcha. Real Matcha has a slight bitterness to it and this macaron had just that.
Earl Grey didn’t really taste like Earl Grey and it was way too sweet. I wasn’t a fan of it.
Passion fruit also didn’t taste like passion fruit very much.
After reading other reviews it seems like there’s a student discount, but I wasn’t informed of this when I got there. I definitely will ask about the student discount next time I return.
I think the macarons were a little overpriced. The quality is good and at Macaron Café, they do offer foods that’s appropriate for a snack or a lunch. There’s also coffee and beverages available.

Macaroons are amazing and this place just does them perfectly! The staff is very friendly and the environment is great, I definitely recommend this place!

This place has the most amazing genuine macarons! I felt like I was walking into a store in Paris. I heard about this place from a friend of mine and love how many locations they have around the city for my quick fix of macarons. This location is my favorite.
The best macaron is the lavender one, a must-​try!
The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the flavors and they had excellent customer service. Out of all the macaron places I’ve ever been to, even in France, this is the best for me! Highly recommend, and they make great presents and gifts for loved ones!

Nice little café for a sandwich and salad lunch. Macarons tasty, but a little pricey. Warm atmosphere; colorful interior great if you’re a small child or on LSD.

This was my second time trying macarons and I bought three different flavors. Nutella, Rose Lychee and Pistachio (my favorite). They were amazing! I suggest you come here if you’re wanting a really good macaron fix.

Definitely one of the better macaron places in town with cute girly décor a LOT of flavors, including classic and exotic. They offer a student discount with ID – $ 2.00 per macaron, which is a STEAL! I had the lavender, rose lychee, jasmine, apricot, blackberry, and more. The rose lychee macaron had the best flavor but was kind of hard. The blackberry one wasn’t that great. But the other ones were really really really fantastic. If they were more consistent in quality, I’d rate this place higher than Bisous Ciao. They also offer crepes and have a decent amount of seating with lots of natural light.

I have never seen such a colorful store! This place is filled with many beautifully colored macarons and flavors. First time coming here, so I was curious and wanted to try all the flavors, but would go home cash-​less if that happened.
So first off, many flavors! Beautiful colors. Seating available for guests. The offer other things that a café would offer, such as coffee and teas.
I have yet to try all the flavors they offer, but so far, some of them are a hit or miss. You would not know until you try them. What one person might like, another person might not.
Good thing as well, they offer a discount of $ 2 a macaron for students! So yay for students! They also offer gift box deals for people who would like to gift macarons to others.
It is a good atmosphere with many different macaron flavors! Will be back to try their other flavors!

I had the best pistachio macaron of my life here. Soooo freakin good! Every bite is bursting with flavor, and they actually roll the edges in ground pistachios so they attach themselves to the cream. The only thing is the price point– $ 2.75 per macaron is painful!
They also have «real food» here. I’d be curious to try it, some of it sounded pretty good.

I came back again to try their other macaron flavors and I have to say, they are either hits or misses.
Hits
— White Chocolate
— Jasmine
— Espresso
— Milk Chocolate Marshmallow
— Wedding Almond
Misses
— Honey Lavender
— Rose Lychee
— Orange Blossom
— Crème Brulee
There were some flavors I really liked but there was some that was quite traumatizing. I will probably come back and get the flavors I like but I won’t venture to the other flavors I never tried.

I have to be honest and start the review by saying that this is the first macaroon I have ever tried. They had many options. I tried the peanut butter and jelly. I didn’t like it, but maybe I don’t like macaroons! The place was nice looking but the staff works very slow so we had a long wait.

LOVEEE this place. The macaroons are so good and so fresh, you can tell! I love coming to this place and having a few. The espresso and coconut is my personal favorite.
Students get the macaroons for 2 bucks each; they do have a box of 6 for $ 15
There is room to sit down and they also have several drinks you can order from. The people are pretty nice, so its usually a pleasure to come in here.

Macarons are and will always be my guilty pleasure. At $ 2.75 a pop, they aren’t exactly the cheapest bite-​sized treats but Macaron Café is definitely one of my favorite macarons in the city. Note that the macarons here are on the chewy side, but the macaron fillings are never artificial and made with high quality ingredients. If you prefer very airy, light macarons, I’d suggest Laduree. However, I think that lightly chewy macarons also have their charm.
I almost always opt for the Pistachio one. I’ve tried the other flavors as well (Nutella, Cherry Blossom) which are also good.
The decoration of this café is a little tacky for me, but it’s a cute type of tacky. It’s a nice place to sit and catch up as this location is never too crowded. Overall, you should definitely check this place out!

heaven. honestly, these were heaven. Macarons are my favorite anything of all time, and as soon as I saw this shop, I had to go in. I got a box of 6 for $ 15, and we filled it with Lemon, Pistachio, Caramel, Coconut, Orange Blossom, and Chocolate Marshmallow. Hands down, my favorite was the pistachio. My daughters loved theirs, the caramel and the Marshmallow… and the only one that I surprisingly could’ve passed on was Lemon. Lemon is usually one of my favorite flavors, but this was almost too strong, and almost lemon clean like flavored, but the texture was definitely still spot on, and it was still yummy enough to devour!
Maybe one day, I’ll splurge and have them delivered since we were just visiting for a day.

I love macarons! And I love all the interesting flavors they have at the location. It $ 2.50 per macaron but they have gift boxes too. The only reason that Macaron Café loses a star is because one of the lychee macaron that was order was hard like a rock. We also ordered the cappuccino and the macchiato. The service was wonderful and a area dine-​in is available.

I’m reviewing this based on lunch food not on the macarons (which are always amazing when I try a sample FYI.)
Their prices don’t initially seem great but they have large portions. There is a daily menu that changes seasonally.
I usually get a salad or one of their daily specials — which right now are hot food options. The croque monsieur and the vegetable lasagna were both delicious, and each come with a side salad and some bread. The dressing is always the same in the lunch specials — I’m guessing it is some sort of honey dijon. I like it but I have a friend who doesn’t, so you may want to ask if they have other options if that doesn’t sound like something you would like.
Their everyday salad options are good, but I am also looking forward to when they bring their daily salad specials back in the warmer weather.

Holy macarons! I cannot imagine what it is like to be behind the counter at this wonderful café — watching customers as they stare at the beautiful glass case, eyes wide in a hypnotic state, drooling.
So many flavors, all so perfect and delicious. Whether you have one or a few to stay or purchase a box to take home, you will not be disappointed. It is a real treat to take a seat and enjoy your macaron of choice with an espresso (Counter Culture beans for aficionados).
A terrific place to pop in mid-​afternoon, or to pick up a thoughtful 6-​pack gift for someone.

I’ve eaten at every macaron shop in Manhattan! I’ve even had them in France and this is by far my favorite place! I find myself comparing every macaron I eat to the ones here…
No I’m not an expert at macarons but!!! After trying them everywhere I have my own personal preference that this place just gets!
The macaron has to be lightly crispy and chewy! That’s how I like it and this place does so perfectly! I’ve tried every flavor and my go to flavors are the pistachio and the wedding almond. They cream inside of both of these is so light, creamy and delicious!
These macarons make my mouth so happy! And this location has some of the friendliest service I’ve ever experienced and it also has the most seating.
Hands down the best macarons in the city! Yes I said it! The best!
