JOY Macarons

I tend to be a bit of a macaron snob, let's be honest everywhere that sells macarons is going to have pistachio, vanilla, and chocolate. Was happy to see they had some fun flavors to choose from and actually put effort into doing something festive for Halloween. Saw that they had a macaron black cat ice cream sandwich. Normally that's something I would not indulge in but curiosity got the better of me. Was shocked and delighted to find out that it actually worked! Really recommend getting it well you can. Did not expect a macaron ice cream sandwich to work but it does. Ice cream sandwich was delicious, macarons for just perfect, and the woman who help us out was very polite. My only negative criticism would be that it's a shame the location does not have more room for a proper indoor dining area. Sat outside to eat the Ice Cream Sandwich before it melted and got bit by mosquitoes.

We had the ice cream and boy was it delicious! After sampling the flavors, we all got the chocolate chip cookie dough - it was just that good. Next time I’d love to try the macarons 🤩😋

The coconut strawberry ice cream sandwich was amazing. The lavender and honey macaroons were divine. I was so pleased. Can't wait to enjoy this delicious treat again 😋

JOY is a delightful haven for macaron connoisseurs. The array of vibrant colors and flavors is visually stunning. Each macaron boasts a perfect balance of crispness and chewiness, delivering a symphony of taste with every bite. The attention to detail in presentation reflects the craftsmanship behind these delectable treats. From classic flavors to inventive creations, this macaron haven is a must-visit for anyone seeking an exquisite indulgence.

Excellent place to get Macarons. All Joy’s macarons are equally amazing with great variety, really helpful staff and well decorated interiors. This location is within walking distance of the Bishop Arts District so there’s much to be enjoyed about the local ambience. The storefront is pretty small and cozy. The macarons here are delicious and taste really good, make sure to get some Italian crème and pistachio because those are their best offerings. They offer a variety of different sizes and have a good loyalty program too to get the occasional free macaron. Note that these macarons are on the pricier side compared to alternatives but it’s worth every dollar if you get the chance to visit.

Yummy ice cream! Workers were very sweet and were informative since it was my first time coming in. Got the chocolate chip peanut butter, very delicious. Would definitely come back to try their other flavors. :)

OMG! So yum! I had the strawberry coconut macaroon ice cream and it was so good!! It was a smooth taste - the strawberry flavor pops and it just makes you happy!! I have to return to try the different flavors and macaroons!! So so good! Period.

Great customer service at this location. Great desserts, especially the ice cream sandwiches. Came here for my daughters birthday, it’s her favorite macaron place.

Everything is gluten free including the waffle cones!!! When you walk in the door you are met with wonderful smells and a beautiful display. We've had their macron ice cream sandwiches at other restaurants, but this was our first time in the store. The staff were very helpful and we were able to talk for a while and answer some questions that was very helpful for when we return. The macrons have wonderful flavor and I love that they have a set of flavors that they will always have along with some seasonal flavors. I can't wait to try all of the flavors.

I have tried Joy from other retailers but I decided to make a stop at the first location here in Bishop District.. I honestly did now know it even existed, the place is very trendy and clean!. I went ahead and ordered a cookies and Cream sandwich. The girl in the register was very helpful and also sold us on a couple macarons.. Great spot and location! Definitely will be coming back..

We were having dinner in the area and decided to stop on by try out Joy Macarons. It's two stores down from NEONY Pizza Works. It's a tiny little shop with tons of treats to try. We mainly went for the Macarons and ended up taking home an ice cream sandwich as well. They were all good. I had my first macaron in Paris at Ladurée and fell in love with them, so we had to try these here at Joy Macarons. To me, it's very hard to compete with Ladurée macarons, but these are just as good. We got 3 pistachio, because those are our favorite, a vanilla bean one and a salted caramel. I love this block of buildings, because these are old school buildings that have been there since I could remember living in Oak Cliff as a kid but they are renovated of course. They all remind me of shops you will find in New York.

The macaroons from Joy are delightful little puffs of heaven! Crispy on the outside and puffy on the inside. I had the 6 pack- 1. Strawberry 2. Honey lavender 3. Lemon 4 Cookies & cream 5. Rose berry 6. Vanilla bean All were yummy and packed full of flavor!

The flavors here are wonderful. This restaurant is very consistent with the quality of their desserts. I was able to try the flavor of the month and get a horchata macaron ice cream sandwich. I also bought a 12-pack of macarons. These were all wonderful and are nice for splitting among others so you can all try each flavor. The workers were very friendly and helpful. They were able to answer questions I had and inform me about the rewards program. The store is very well organized, and they offer candles and other accessories to purchase.

Fantastic macarons!Pistachio and Rose were my favs! In fact, everything we tried was good. Very sweet lady at the counter. Recommend for sure

This place is super cute. I bought one of each flavor macarons today as well as a macaron ice cream sandwich. I have only eaten the ice cream so far. Cant wait to taste the macarons! They also have the cutest little pull out macaron drawer. Loved this place!

Couldn't recommend more. 0 stars is possible. They will treat you like crap. Macarons are mediocre at best. Avoid.

The absolute best macaroons I've ever tasted/ had in my life. I love the exterior and interior I love the color combination I love the smell as soon as you walk in the joyous personality from the worker in the inside. She was so friendly I was like wow! Have we met before!? Lol I now have favorites and I will be back to purchase gifts and selfish treats! Lol .. They also provide custom macarons!! Follow them on Instagram @joymacarons for delicious mouth watering content and you can either torture yourself by never purchasing any or treat yourself to a lasting memory and mouth vacation!! Those Macaroons didn't last an hour! My son learned a new word "Maka Rooons" lol now he is hooked. Thank you Joy Macarons for a great experience it out weighed the taste well equally pleasant.

The most beautiful macaroon shop ever! I looked like the paparazzi taking pictures of the eclectic decor and pristine vibes :) Loved all of the various options! You can her traditional macaroons, macaroon ice cream sandwiches, macron flavored ice cream, the list literally goes on. I especially enjoyed all of the gifts, accessories, and other cute and modern boutiques offer. Looking forward to returning and trying something new next time! This time I enjoyed the rose berry and cookies and cream macaroons. If you're reading this, wt do you think I should try next time!?

While hanging around Bishop Arts District, we decided to check out Joy Macarons while we in the area. It's about a 15 min walk or so from that area up Davis, or a few minutes drive, i think half mile from Bishop Ave. Small little shop with nice display of their macarons. We decided to get a sixer...aka six pack of some assorted flavors. Can't remember exactly what we all got but they were tasty. Most macarons are on the pricey side, and these were just that as well. They were delicious and nicely made, good crack when you take that bite. Nice little indulgence to have in my book. Staff was friendly and welcoming when we came by, they have ice cream pints and sandwiches too but we didn't try any this time around. Overall, glad we put this spot on our itinerary.

I've been coming to this location for the past 5 years and have introduced many of my friends + family to Joy macarons. What stands out about Joy is the variety of flavors they have and the ones they introduce in rotation. By far, my go-to's have always been the Honey Lavender, Rose Berry, Strawberry, and the Italian Creme. Please note that some of my pictures have seasonal flavors that they may not currently have - so reference the menu on their website for updated seasonal flavors. For example, the pictures of the macaron ice cream below show the earl grey tea flavor. I've also had the guava macaron ice cream (both i strongly recommend if they still make them). While i since relocated to Los Angeles where I'm a hop, skip, and jump away from Ladurée, I can honestly say when I'm in town, I always stop by Joy -- either a treat for myself, my mom, my grandmother, or any of the gorgeous queens in my life.

I could eat this everyday. One of my favorite places for desserts. I always get the cereal milk flavor, too scared of disappointment if I try other flavors because the ice cream macaroons are huge. Cute colors, good and tasty for gifts.

Got one of their macaroons and it wasn't bad. The customer service wasn't great, and the ice cream was really hard to bite into, but the taste was good.

Cookie Dough, Chocolate, Lemon, Strawberry flavors are divine!! Enjoyed every bit. To think I didn't really like macarons overall before trying Joys. Highly recommend!

A friend visiting from out of town really wanted some macrons so I hopped on Yelp and found Joy. Cute little shop located in Bishop Arts right on the corner of Davis and Tyler. I don't think there's a super noticeable sign because I initially drove past it. Anyways, I'm not a big fan of Macarons but these were pretty good. The Nutella one was bomb!

OMG! So yum! I had the strawberry coconut macaroon ice cream and it was so good!! It was a smooth taste - the strawberry flavor pops and it just makes you happy!! I have to return to try the different flavors and macaroons!! So so good! Period.

So glad I found this place! It's such a cute little store! I picked up a box of 12 Macarons for a bachelorette party and an Macaron ice cream sandwich for my hubby. The girls absolutely LOVED them! I will def be back for some more! The woman at the counter was very helpful and knowledgeable about their items and super patient while I took forever to decide which flavors I wanted. It's a bit of a drive since I live in Frisco, but I will be back to this beautiful shop soon - I hope!!

Let me tell yall after having the Fruity Pebble ice cream sandwich I can go the rest of my life without having another regular mac! (Just kidding) I have always seen them here but was hesitant to try them. Well ladies and gents they are amazing! I took the first bite and was transported back to the days of sitting in front of the tv at my gma's house, eating Fruity Pebbles and watching Sat morning cartoons! If you are ever at Joy and want to try try something outside the box of a norm mac, get the ice cream mac sandwich. It's everything! The reg macs are good too.

We stopped in recently on Sat. Jan 16th and the kids got a 24pack of macaroons. 4 actual made it the next day, but were quickly consumed at dinner time. Cute little shop and their display case was great. Theirs are not as sweet as Whole Foods, but better that way so my kids are not bouncing off walls long.

Best macarons I've had, not only in Dallas, but ever. Laduree doesn't hold a candle to these classic and inspired macarons. They keep to the traditional flavors you would expect such as pistachio and raspberry, but also get creative with their monthly and season flavors like mint chocolate, birthday cake and cranberry orange. They're always fresh and beautiful. The employees are so friendly and helpful. Get some to share and spread the joy.

Absolutely. Yes. You should. I crave the cereal milk (dipped in fruity pebbles) ice cream macaron sandwich. The macarons are delightful and I love the creative seasonal flavors. This is a great place to come if you're from out of town, too!

Truly divine macarons! I love the aesthetic and the front desk girls were so helpful. The Texas sheet cake macaron has got to be the best macaron I've ever tried, plus the Valentine's Day embellishment was so cute. I could eat 50 of their macarons in a sitting!

Let me start by saying, it breaks my heart to leave a subpar review for Joy. I've been a loyal customer of theirs for many (many) years. Far before they had the Greenville or Fort Worth locations. Their macarons used to be my go to, special treat. I've worked in bakeries before that sold macarons, so I understand the labor and skill that go into making them well. And previously, they were perfect. I'm talking chewy exterior, impactful flavors, and soft melt in your mouth fillings. However, over the years their quality has declined significantly. I've given them multiple tries, but the last few visits have left a sour taste in my mouth. Most recently, I came by with a friend to grab a box of macarons. We sampled all my go-to flavors: lavender/honey, pistachio, almond, but missed the dark chocolate (which was no longer on the menu). The macarons were not chewy but rather dry and hollow. The top of the shell was bumpy and matte (they should be smooth and have a slight sheen). The filling was not melt-in your mouth, but rather overly sweet and the portion was far too much for shell ratio. I was disappointed, as my friend had heard me rave about the macarons in the past and we both agreed that these were mediocre. I was hoping my previous visits were off days, but I simply can't justify the cost of the macarons when their quality is more comparable to grocery store macarons than a bakery. I'm not sure what's going on: new baker? quality control loss from expansion? trying to save money? Not sure. What I do know is that these used to be my favorite macarons and they've lost my business. I'll probably cash out my rewards on a final visit and start looking for my new spot. If management sees this review, please consider doing a quality control assessment of your products. The new menu items (icecream) is great, but they can't compensate for the decline in your main product.

These macarons are delicious and pack a punch of flavor! Slightly crunchy yet soft and delicious. Some really great and interesting flavors and they also have seasonal flavors. The workers were friendly and efficient. Can't wait for the Allen location to open! The lavender shake was also super tasty.

This is my go-to spot for when my wife's birthday comes around. I've been to this location a few times now over the years and each time has been a really great experience. First and foremost, this is a business that takes Covid-19 precautions seriously. You cannot enter without a mask and the number of people allowed in the store is limited. I think it's great and kudos to them for doing their part. The shop is very cool on the inside. If you're lucky you can actually watch the macaron making process. The baking has glass walls and it's so cool that you can see all the equipment they use to make the treats. They offer both traditional macarons and frozen goodies. Everything there is yummy. My wife loves macarons. The macarons here are delicious. The flavor variety is really great and the employees are always helpful in pointing me in the right direction. Highly recommend and definitely will be back for special occasions or when cravings hit.

It's pretty unreal just how amazing these little things are. I've become obsessed with the ice cream sandwiches! I live for the snickerdoodle and cookies and cream.

So a little JOY is always needed! These little French delights are definitely a JOY to indulge in.... Sitting in the Heart of Bishop Arts District near Downtown Oak Cliff. You can't help but stop by to try to tame your sweet tooth. You might get caught up in all the color & cuteness... But it is some delightful flavors hidden in each one. I have enjoyed the Vanilla bean, Lavender, Almond and Lemon Macaroons. Such a tasty treat that is delicate but carries a punch in flavor and a presentation. Now the price might shock you a little but once you see the work that is put into them to make one. You just right question why so cheap? We paid $13 for a half of dozen and they were well worth it. They also have the Macaroon Ice cream sandwiches... The are huge and will run you about $6 bucks!

We got six macarons of all different recommended flavors placed in an adorable triangular box as a gift. Then we ordered a half scoop of red velvet cake ice cream and a half scoop of pistachio brittle that was a huge serving and absolutely delicious.

Oh Joy Macarons!! I wanted to like you so bad but I couldn't. Joy Macarons' Instagram got me drooling on my phone, so I knew I had to make a visit. This place is purely dedicated to macarons, and the display is on point. What aren't on point are the texture and the taste. The crusts were too brittle. Pretty much if you touch them, they'll fall apart depending on your luck. The center parts of the cookies were pretty chewy. I guess I'm just not use to that texture. The 6 flavors I got were pistachio, rose and lychee, vanilla, lavender, salted caramel, and chocolate. The flavors didn't really correspond to what they were, and most of them tasted too floral for me. They were also way too sweet. For $2 each, it was small. But macarons are trendy and pricey like that. I really wanted to like Joy Macaron because I love macarons and I want to like them all. I feel bad for being harsh.

We stop by here every time we visit my In-laws. Theses macaroons are not what you would expect. They are bursting with flavor and creativity! The staff do a wonderful job and they are so friendly. They are helpful and keep the store super clean. I definitely recommend this place for a quick sweet treat!

The macaroons were good depending on the flavor, I personally liked the pistachio and almond ones & the inside where the macaroons were laid out was so aesthetically pleasing. The prices are way too high for these tiny delicacies, but I guess all macaroons are pricey. The inside was not big and nowhere to really sit and enjoy. 3/5 because it was aight.

Whoa, this place! The employee was so friendly and kind and offered her recommendations!! The macarons were delicious !! My bf and I can't wait to go back and explore the neighbor and also try their ice cream sandwiches as well!! Definitely check this place out!! :)

Macarons are not my favorite of desserts. I think it's a texture and flavor thing. I prefer bold rich flavors vs light and fluffy! My boss brought us a box with a nice variety of macarons. I tried all the flavors. They were all so pretty and colorful. Some had sparkles and gold specks! Almost too pretty to eat! We got them around Easter so some flavors were made from peeps!! The unique flavors were very fun to taste. Overall they were pretty good and I enjoyed the unusual unique flavors!!

Probably one of my most favorite places to get macarons and macaron ice cream sandwiches! I love their interior and the aesthetically pleasing looks! Most macaron ice cream sandwiches I've had , their ice creams are usually hard and icy as if they were melted down to fit the shells of the macaron, but the ones I've had here are creamy and the macaron shells are soft and chewy! I can't wait to go back and try more flavors! I was also quite impressed with the size and the pricing of the ice cream sandwiches!

A great first experience. We had a variety of 6 macarons. I enjoyed the salted Carmel the most it was sweet with a hit on salt. My husband's favorite was the strawberry. He claimed it made him want to turn the truck around for another 6. The staff was friendly and the shop was perfectly clean.

If you wanted the worlds best customer service, look no further. I had the sweetest experience of my life during my day jaunt around Bishop Arts. I was met with a smiling face (under the mask of course) full of JOY! My son had a hankering for some iced creams, he was panting like a dog LOL! I was truly impressed by the attention to detail my server provided! Didn't know icecream could get that round! Shout out to Kendal, she's the best! I got myself one of those crazy icecream sandwiches, never seen anything like it! I have a friend visiting from out of town, will definitely be bringing her in for some of those tasty treats!

I absolutely love this place! My daughter enjoyed it too! We both never had macrons before and she's been asking to go to joy and grab some, so we did. The macrons were delicious and soft and they had a good variety. The store was cute and the girl who helped us was so nice and bubbly. If my daughter approves, i approve lol! I definitely recommend this place! We will be going back again, SOON!

My favorites are the rose/lychee and violet/black currant. You can make a very nice rainbow of macarons and they're displayed in the store very beautifully in the store as well. There's really not a lot of space to eat them inside besides maybe 3 seats at the counter.

Oh my gosh I wish this place was closer to where I lived and it wasn't kinda in the hood. This is my first Macaron experience and it is going to keep me coming back. I want to learn how to make these since I cant get here enough. Such a clean store front and modern set up. The employee that was there wasn't too friendly but doesn't matter as long as I get my macarons. I found this company on Instagram, so that's cool! (sign of the time)

The shop is cute and welcoming. I liked that they had options and seasonal flavors. Back in Cali I never paid $2.00+ for a macaroon but I got a 6 pack which was if I remember was like $13+/-. Little expensive but they were good. They weren't overly sweet either. I would go back

Although I couldn't say I haven't had a better macaron, Joy meets the standards of what is called excellent, high-quality French cream-filled sandwich cookie. I got a 6 piece box with 6 different flavors: Raspberry: its red jam is made from fresh raspberries, a must try! Lemon Fleur de Sel: love love love its tart filling and a touch of fleur de sel. Pistachio: While pistachio is often my go-to flavor, I thought this one is just all right. Rose and Lychee: such a people-pleaser flavor! You can totally 'taste' the rosy chocolate and the lychee completes the not-too-sweet sweetness! Honey and Lavender: this used to be a flavor of the month but I've seen this appears pretty regularly on the menu. Violet and Black Currant: my FAVORITE! and not because it's deep purple! The flavor of the black current and violet ganache are blended perfectly together! I should have got 2, or 3 of this favor! Each flavor has their own touch, yet overall, I consider Joy macarons are better than many other places. The texture and surface of the cookie are very smooth. If you ever try to make macarons, you know how hard it is, and this differentiates a skilled macaron baker from an amateur. Their fillings are chewy, but not gooey and certainly not overly crunchy or dry. Some people prefer the filling to be 'generous', whereas I think when they overdo the filling, it runs out the sides and makes the shell get mushy. I don't consider myself to be a picky eater, yet I do have specific guidelines for the qualities a macaron must possess in order to be deemed "excellent". Will I eat a macaron that lacks excellence? Probably--it's hard to make a macaron taste repulsive. But I won't be very happy about it.

9 dollars for a sundae?!?! It's damn good though. Hard to be mad at this place when what they serve is consistently outstanding.

I love me some Joy Macarons. I have tried many Macarons at many different places (different stores, different cities) over the years, and hands down...Joy Macarons are THE BEST. After falling in love with Joy, you'll be hard pressed to love a macaron from anywhere else again. I kid you not. A friend recently brought me Macarons from Laduree in Paris and they just weren't as good! Oh, I'm so delighted that we are lucky enough to live among greatness here in Dallas. If Paris could only be so lucky. Haha. On one of our trips, a friend and I saw a kid's birthday party going on. So fun. They had the kids in the tiny kitchen making Macarons. I now want one of those parties for MY birthday!!! My fave flavors are pistachio, cookie dough, Italian cream and butter pecan. They are all great but those are my faves!! Once I got an ice cream sandwich that rocked my world. I think it was chocolate chip ice cream on a pistachio macaron. It was even better than I could have ever dreamed a macaron ice cream sandwich could be. After writing all this right now I can see (feel) that I must make a bee line to Joy today for a little macaron love. It is so good, I'll make the drive from Addison just for these!!

Cool location, WONDERFUL macaroons: I've tried my fair share, and this place is better than the Beverly Hills macaroons I had three weeks ago. Pistachio for the win.

The ice cream macarons are some of the best I've had but the regular little macarons were forgettable and I even think aren't as good as frozen ones from trader joe's or the supermarket. The ice cream macaron has a really good chew, nice flavor combinations, not too sweet and have pretty good packaging. If I only had this I may have given four or five stars. The actual store front is very well put together. The graphic design and packaging are really well done and the shirts the employees wear were pretty cool. The regular macarons were not good. Looking down the counter, we noticed that almost all of the macaroons didn't rise properly. Out of 200, there were around 10 pistachio ones that actually rose and had a decent foot. They were all WAY too sweet. I kind of the think the fact that they were over-sweetened masked that the fillings just weren't great. The flavor combinations sound cool but didn't really work. I'm thinking since the place is new, they're still training people on how to make the cookies (it's been a few months?) and may improve over time.

Cinnamon ice cream sandwich was EXPLOSIVE!! So creamy and rich, but not overdone (too sweet like a bag of sugar). I could eat one everyday! I wish they sold them in bulk to take home. I know I would gain a couple hundred pounds, but hey YOLO right ? Lol

Walked to this place from our house and got two Mac sandwiches - cinnamon brownie and cookies & cream, 12 Macarons, and a cup of strawberry mascarpone ice cream. Absolutely incredible! Beyond delicious. The service was welcoming and so friendly. Highly recommend.

First time ever having Macarons. This place was nice... easy to find. Location seemed to be in a tough part of town. Macarons were good. My experience was good overall.
