Yet again a successful indie business I forgot to post from visits back in 2/17/19, and 8/7/19! I still have my punchcard for gift boxes. Lady Yum has grown to five businesses in Seattle (Pioneer Square, SLU/Denny Triangle), the Eastside (Bellevue, Kirkland) and SeaTac International Airport.
I revisited Lady Yum in Pioneer Square on a spontaneous whim after a stop at Pike Place Market (3/4/23). Lucked out with street parking diagonal from their entrance, so it was meant to be!
Immediately enticed with the vast selection of macarons upon entering. I noticed there were no entremets or special petite cakes, just macarons. Consistently welcoming and helpful service. Enjoyable interior both on the main floor and upstairs mezzanine.
Fairly priced for these labor intensive, technique specific tasty treats. I shudder recalling vast quantities produced in pastry school, I digress. So you can imagine how much I appreciate seeing them at a bakeshop.
This visit I selected one each of the strawberry passionfruit, espresso chocolate, and salted caramel. I passed on being fancy with bubbles, and stuck with water to note the distinct flavors. Definitely savored each as it is infrequent I indulge in macarons. Delicious!
Also, my Yelp PSA. Pronounced as MACK-a-Ron, not Mack-a-ROON. Two entirely different items and definitely not interchangeable. Thanks for noting this.
Yes, go treat yourself or others with quality macarons from Lady Yum!
