Le Macaron French Pastries

Wonderful French bakery in La Jolla ! A must visit! I got the Napoléon cake which was so delicious and a few macarons ! Service was excellent. Love the variety in pastries! They package everything so nicely too!

Such a beautifully decorated dessert shop. We tried a few macarons and they were very good. The dark chocolate cake slice was not too heavy and it has a good crunch in it. Next time we'll try the ice cream 🍨and other pastries. Also, the owner was very nice and friendly.

I love trying macarons everywhere I go, and I’m happy I stopped here! Friendly staff and the macarons were delicious! 😋 I regret not buying a dozen of them, but I will next time I visit 🤩 Hard to pick a favorite flavor!

This page is small but cute! After walking around the cove we walked by this place and decided to go in! The deserts were all so interesting and they had good macaron flavors to choose from. I believe we got birthday cake, peaches, rose, pistachio, lemon and chocolate. They we baked perfectly! My only complaint is that they’re too small and go so fast 😅 we also got three …… those were simple but good also, and their packaging is so cute! Everything was handled so delicately! Will definitely be back!

You will be disappointed if you know what good French pastries are like… (coming from a French person). We had macarons which tasted like sugar only (all tasted the same regardless of the flavor), and the mille feuille which did not taste fresh.

Absolute lovely worker with amazing macarons and chocolates!

Didn't taste good. The stuff they sell looks like it's resold from the grocery store. Worst macarons and chocolate I've ever had, and you're paying insane La Jolla prices for them.

Cool little place to get a pastry, macaroons or gelato. Counter service with friendly staff. I got the tiramisu and it was light and fluffy.

Delectable chocolates and divine pastries. The young lady at the counter was very sweet and helpful. The ambience is adorable and inviting, pretty in pink. It was hard not to leave without buying one of everything. Will definitely have to go back again to try more goodies. This time around, we purchased a box of 6 chocolates and 2 cakes, a hazelnut crunch cake and an opera cake.

The gelato and desserts were delicious. The super friendly staff made my bday even better!

We had the most bizarre experience at this shop today. TL/DR the supervisor/owner of this shop is very mean and malicious. We visited on a Saturday morning at 10:30am with our 22 month old baby and elderly father. First of all, it was very weird that there were no other customers at all while other places seemed bustling with people. We only stopped by because it was the only place with gelato that was open and our baby was whining for some ice cream. The store was run by the store owner/supervisor (a French guy named Jerome) and a new hire. Neither were very friendly or welcoming and Jerome only spoke to his employee, teaching her how to scrape every last bit of gelato off the scooper. We asked for a sample and were given it very grudgingly. We ordered a medium gelato to get 2 flavors and asked for an extra cup for our toddler, only to be told very snidely that if we wanted to get a second cup, we needed to pay for it. The vibe of the entire exchange was very negative and insulting, so we left immediately. We hung around for about 20 minutes outside the shop on a bench by the street, and my husband wrote a negative review describing our experience. Almost immediately, he received a reply on Yelp from Jerome with the same snarky reply that if we wanted 2 cups we should pay for it instead of trying to split our medium gelato. Then a few moments later, Jerome the owner/supervisor stormed out of the shop to yell at us "thank you for the review" while giving us the middle finger!! This happened on the street in public, where other passerby's could witness it. It was quite rude especially considering that we had a little toddler and her grandpa with us. We have never seen anything like this before and really cannot believe what happened. The confrontation was completely unnecessary and he made the mood very nasty on a nice Saturday morning right before the holidays. We looked up the shop online afterwards and found that it is a big chain, so it looks like Jerome might be the shop supervisor at this location. It appears that he got a phone call while this was all happening, so we suspect that management has was already seen the bad review and gave him a hard time about it. In any case, we just want to bring this to the attention of the management and to warn any other customers who are visiting La Jolla and trying to have a good time. There are many other dessert shops closeby and we usually go to the one across the street called Bobboi. There's a reason why there's always a line at Bobboi's.

The dark chocolate macaron tastes very good but the pistachio is very dry and bitter slightly. I don't like the pistachio when you can taste the bitterness. Overall this shop is full of cute little gifts and sweets. I recommend a visit if you are nearby.

Unfriendly service. Small scoops of gelato and when I asked for a EMPTY spare cup I got a snobby we don't do that response. And it didn't even taste that good. Only came here because the two other gelato shops on this street weren't open yet. Lesson learned. Avoid. EDIT: And after I post this review the guy (Jerome) who runs this place runs out yelling at me while I'm trying to feed their (mediocre) gelato to my toddler for writing this review. Totally normal, non-creepy behavior /s And check out the snobbish response which just proves my original point. Anyways, you guys got plenty of better options just steps away! This place is a total sham. They serve coffee out of Nespresso Pods and they're just reselling low grade pastries (you can get better ones in bulk at the French market on Miramar Rd by the pyramid)

The Food The Service The Ambiance at UTC mall Is always great. French pastries are some of my favorite this Macaron are so beautiful to look.

Cute little french bakery cafe in la jolla. Wide variety of macarons and other chocolates. About 5 flavors of gelato and basic coffee service. I got three macarons, all of which were decent but nothing noteworthy. Friendly service. Lemon macaron: Recommended by staff. Nice citrusy flavor, slightly too sweet for my tastes Tiramisu macaron: Soft, the flavors here weren't the strongest Praline macaron: Best of the three. Rich hazelnut flavor Decent macarons, nothing mind blowing. For the price, I personally would not come back

This is their 3rd location that I have been to as the other was in Del Mar and Vegas. With them having 60 locations around the US I have a ways to go. :-) Great customer service and nice selection to choose from. For sure will be back as I love their not too sweet items

OMG these macaroons were so delicious, yet the atmosphere made you feel like in Paris . The gentleman working the evening so sweet and the service amazing!!!

A mixed bag. Disappointed. Was so excited to try this place that I came back the next day for a treat. I purchased a box of 6 macarons and 4 chocolates. Macarons - Red velvet: worst of the batch, tasted stale - Rose: the bottom of each was hard. - Mango: tasted gummy - Raspberry: unremarkable - Lavender: much better and nice taste - Birthday cake: surprisingly the best. Nice subtle taste and great all around texture. Whole Foods makes better macarons. As does Bottega Louie (LA) and Miette (SF). Chocolates - strawberry lips: all looks. I love white chocolate but this one misses the mark, almost chalky. Strawberry taste not there - just extremely sweet. - earl grey: subtle, but good - pistachio: had more flavor, but I'm not a pistachio fan. Have had Kollar in Napa and theirs are probably the best. Overall, would not purchase again. Expensive places should deliver better quality and taste than this. I hate reviews like this but as someone just in town for a bit would have appreciated knowing to avoid this place.

Oh my Goodness, this place is good ! I've only tried 4 of them just to start. MACARONS i tried: *SALTED CARAMEL * STRAWBERRY KEY LIME * TIRAMISU * MANGO JAM At First my son wanted to stay outside and wait 'coz he said that the store is way too girly for him ;) But the Moment he saw me took a Bite and saw my Facial reaction, he rushed in and started to taste some ;) We decided to get more to-go after, but not much 'coz we had to drive down to Downtown to Eat our Dinner. But if you are in LA JOLLA, do not forget to pass by this place called "LE MACARON FRENCH PASTIES". They are small macarons and they are $3 a piece. BUT oh my, the FLAVORS are so Insane good in that Small piece of sweets. But there's lots of Selections here, they even have VEGAN CAKES, cute keychain souvenirs, and more. I forgot to buy my LEMON MERINGUE TART! I will be back this week and I will make sure I will take my time in this Store so I wont forget what I wanted to have :)

I walked in and had me waiting about 10 min to take my order until the girl realized I was there she stood up and took my order. On top of that Prices are insane not recommended.

The only reason that I am leaving a review on Yelp is because Uber Eats directed me to do so. I recently placed an order to be delivered today between 130 and 2 PM at approximately 12:57 PM. I received a notice that the merchant canceled my delivery due to technical issues. no further attempts by the merchant were made to either contact me or to make other arrangements perhaps for a later day delivery, or some type of a combination of both . I would love to add my feelings and displeasure about this transaction, but I think the fact speak for themselves.

The perfect treat for walking the shops in La Jolla. We tried so many flavors but I might be partial to the salted caramel.

We stopped by Le Macaron French Pastries for dessert after lunch nearby. It was a cute patisserie with an extensive menu of macaroons, other French pastries, and gelatos and sorbets. A few things caught my eye including the St. Tropez, vanilla eclair, and vanilla bean macaron. I thought the macaron was the best of the 3, and as well as it should be if it wants to live up to its name. The quality of the meringue cookie was excellent - soft and chewy. Smooth and creamy buttercream, and the vanilla flavor was bold. I could've done without the St. Tropez and vanilla eclair. The St. Tropez reminded me of a French alfajore but with custard cream instead of caramel. I was not a fan of the eclair. The dough and custard were hard like they had just been taken out of the freezer.

Came across this small shop when I was walking around and decided to give it a try. The interior looked really clean and I felt like eating some sweets so I decided to grab a few macarons. Ordered a box of 6 and started eating them right away and before I knew it I ran out because they were so good. I don't remember the flavors exactly but each one had a unique and light flavor. I know this was probably like 1000 calories but i didn't feel too bad after eating them all. Would definitely recommend

This bakery is family owned and run. They are THE most wonderful and welcoming family. The son & mom greeted us and were so sweet and grateful for our business. Since it was my daughter's birthday we got some treats to bring home. Macaroons, espresso and a lemon tart. Adorable store with wonderful people. Highly recommend.

My family & I love this little place. The macarons ate delicious. They have cute little chocates aswell. We came for my brother's birthday the first time 2nd time we came just for the macarons(from LA). Super cute little place & customer service is great, everyone is so nice and welcoming.

Tried their beignets at their kiosk in UTC mall and they were so scrumptious! The dough was a heavenly consistency, chewy and soft but still airy enough to not feel like you're eating a high calorie donut. The fillings were over the top yummy! The hazelnut filling had a smooth, velvety texture and wasn't too sweet. The white chocolate filling was yummy as well, not too sweet. My favorite filling of them all was the chocolate, it had a sophisticated chocolate flavor not overwhelming just the right amount of sweetness. I'll have to write another review when I try their macarons. Nice little treat before we walked around the mall!

Nothing short of delicious when it comes to their pastries. Although there was only one server, she was efficient and kind. Coffee is not the best, but that's not what anyone should go there for. No seating though so it's a good to-go place.

Le Macaroni French Pastries at the UTC Westfield Mall, a quaint stand across from Starbucks, at the Mall's center, is nothing short of delightful! The stand is artfully staged with French macarons tiered, layered and stacked in whipped, sweetened and layered perfection! Cotton candy colored pastels in creams, pinks and greens decorated the service table behind a plexiglass pane, like a buffet of delicate desserts. The server with a light France-french accent was pleasant, accommodating and efficient. There were too many options to choose, but we settled on salted caramel, rosewater, lavender, pistachio, black currant and basil! My favorite was the black currant, which had a sweet berry taste. The marzipan and filling both had a light consistency and a melt-in-your-mouth quality that made these macarons light and refreshing. A tasty treat for an afternoon stroll!

Worth a stop and worth the price. We tried the salted caramel, tiramisu, pistachio, red velvet, Belgium chocolate, and birthday cake. The top contenders in our opinion were the birthday cake and pistachio. These were some of the best macaron's I've ever had. If you're in this quaint beach town be sure to make a stop at Le Macaron.

Went for ice cream. One in our party was a child on the autism spectrum with special sensory considerations. The child picked a gelato based on the color but we were told the store policy was no samples for tasting. We bought the ice cream, the child took one bite and reacted to a perceived after taste and it went in the trash. Let children taste the ice cream, please.

We have ordered from Le Macaron through DoorDash as well as stopping into the shop. The bag that the DoorDash order was in was taped to show that it wasn't tampered with, which I greatly appreciated. My husband and I have enjoyed the beignet trio (I eat the white chocolate one) and the different macarons they have. The beignets don't have much chocolate in them, but I prefer it that way. They also aren't big like your typical beignets, but more like 1-2 bites. For macarons, we really like the orange grand marnier, vanilla, salted caramel, and red velvet ones. My husband has also enjoyed the chocolate eclair. The pastries are a bit pricier, but it's worth the splurge every once and a while, especially when you want dessert a bit later in the evening in La Jolla!

This page is small but cute! After walking around the cove we walked by this place and decided to go in! The deserts were all so interesting and they had good macaron flavors to choose from. I believe we got birthday cake, peaches, rose, pistachio, lemon and chocolate. They we baked perfectly! My only complaint is that they're too small and go so fast we also got three ...... those were simple but good also, and their packaging is so cute! Everything was handled so delicately! Will definitely be back!

Open during the pandemic- Yes Masks required - Yes Social Distancing- Yes Hand Sanitizer- Yes You know when you're taking a stroll and you walk by a store and you HAVE to go in? YES! That was this shop. They have fantastic and inventive flavors, that are perfectly executed. What I found out later was this was my friends very first macaron! She loved it and is now spoiled for anything else! Our favorites were: Salted Caramel Strawberry Kiwi Chocolate Red Velvet They also offer a full compliment of coffees, we didn't order any (this time), but you should! The customer service here was fabulous and I'd totally recommend to a friend.

So after I posted my review, the owner private messaged me and asked "If you can find better French handmade macaron let me know where?". Maybe I'm being overly sensitive but I found him quite rude/arrogant. In San Diego, Le Parfait Paris products are for sure better than his. Even chains like Paris Baguette or frozen ones from Trader Joe's are better. If he has been reading everyone's reviews, he should not be surprised that 3 stars is a fair rating.

Count the moments not the calories. This little French Macaron boutique offers luscious little love bites of macarons in 20 different flavors and other sweet confections plus European style coffees and exquisite chocolate and so much more. I absolutely love coming to Le Macaron and getting my love bites and than off to chill and escape reality at La Jolla beach. Definitely a must place to get authentic French treats! Ciao

Very interesting items can be found at Le Macron French Pastries. From miniature chocolate Eiffel Towers to chocolate cigars to a large selection of macaroons, there's something sweet for everyone. My focus was not he macaroons; salted caramel to be specific. It was fresh, the cookie shell was soft, and the filling was very good. A pack of eight fit just right in the take away box. This store is located on Prospect, so parking is tough. If you park in a nearby garage, you can walk down Prospect and stop by several restaurants, stores, and Le Macron of course. Regarding the service, it was very good. If you in the area and went through the hassle of finding parking on a busy day, stop by and get a macaroon!

After having dinner in La Jolla, we decided to get some dessert from here. There were a lot of macaron flavors, truffles, etc., but the eclairs caught my eye. I chose the chocolate eclair and my friend got the crunchy chocolate hazelnut bar. We wanted to eat the desserts there, but since they were closing in 30 minutes, I guess it was easier for her to box them up. The eclair was alright and I was surprised I liked the chocolate hazelnut more. It was pretty good, but nothing special about it. I might just have to try their macarons next time, since it seems like their specialty.

Just popped in with my 4 year old son for some Gelato. Waited 10 minutes while the guy working there moved at a glacial place and stood in front of coffee machine with his back to customers, watching the coffee machine make coffee. He could have been helping other customers. Finally got to us and my kid's choice was between bubblegum and strawberry. The guy wouldn't even give us samples before we committed to a 6 dollar micro portion of gelato. Walked up Prospect to Haagen-dazs, greeted with smiles. He chose strawberry after sampling one other flavor. Happy employees, great service, happy kid. Will never set foot in Macaron again. Owner should know the rude teenager working there could use some manners and is costing business.

I love this place so much. They are also gluten free! I always try new flavors but do have my favorites. The White Chocolate Basil and Chocolate and Carmel are my top 2. I love the Raspberry and also the one that is pink and green (key lime I think). I always stop and grab some in La Jolla. And I have orders delivery on Postmates as well.

After looking for parking for around 20 minutes (this is in a very busy part of La Jolla by the beach) I had hoped that all that time would not be wasted, but I was a bit underwhelmed, and my wallet much lighter. I have been to a lot of different macaron places both here and in a few other states and this by far was the highest in price. 6 macarons for 17.00, not including tax? Yes I am apparently paying for the location. I got 6 macarons because after driving around that long, you might as well go for it. I got two bubble gum, one black currant, one salted caramel, one mon cheri and one chocolate praline. They were out of a couple I wished to try, especially the raspberry. It was only around 12:30pm too on a rainy day, but maybe they were just really popular with that flavor. The only macaron I can say I truly enjoyed was salted caramel and it seems the flavor no one can get wrong. Black currant did not taste appealing. I can't even put my finger on it, but it did not taste natural at all to me. Almost cloying. I cannot attest for the two bubble gums ones, I didn't try them. The praline was forgettable and a little hard, and mon cheri again didn't appeal to me. The place itself is pleasing and has a nice sitting area, but for that price I would pass on coming back again, especially dealing with parking.

One of the biggest tourist destinations in La Jolla and that's a good thing, but also a small hindrance for locals. Even though the store brings more tourism to La Jolla, you should be forewarned of the crowded summer months, tourist peak time. I love all the pink, the fluff, the showmanship of the chocolates. This is the place you want to come in La Jolla for macarons. In particular, notable macarons are: * Sicilian Pistachio - Deep, intense pistachio cream * Framboise Raspberry - Reminds me of the candy I had as a kid, always a nice remembrance. * Colombian Coffee - My favorite! Intense coffee cream * Coconut - Rich creamy flecks of toasted coconut * Gingerbread - A rich gingerbread cookie * Black Currant - Rich crushed currants, smooth * Strawberry Key Lime - Blend of the two is incredible * Bubble Gum - Eh. Skip this one or save it for the kids. All the macarons at Le Macaron embody a light, fluffy cream inside. The fruit macarons have crushed, naturally-sweet fruit intertwined within the cream. These are the best macarons I've found within San Diego. Le Macaron also has handmade chocolates, including caramels and small chocolate Eiffel Towers wrapped in several colored foils. If those don't fancy your appetite there are pastries, which include four kinds of eclairs, croissants and cakes. If those don't dazzle you, there are European-style beverages, French gelato, and cute Paris-themed trinkets. Seating is comprised of cute little cafe tables and a luxurious fluffy couch in the back, if you can manage to snag that. Free WiFi, so you can have a cuppa cuppa and relax for awhile. People watching outside is appealing, as is the partial view to The Cove. Le Macaron is a franchise, and applications are available. Products are made elsewhere and shipped daily to each Le Macaron location. I was going to ding them one star for price, but thought better of it because these are "little luxuries that make people smile". And they are delicious! Le Macaron can keep on dazzling me!

They had no pistachio macaroons & very limited choices; however, person who waited on us was French so they got an extra star for that! Yummy but 6/$17 seems outrageous...I can get 6/$10 at most stores around them (I know rent is high in downtown LJ, and the packaging must be costly, but just saying...)

Delicious! $17 for a 6 count of macarons, which is a bit pricey but it is well worth it. After all, it is a French pastry that is extremely hard to create. After trying all six macarons, I would say my two favorites were the tiramisu and the salted caramel. My boyfriend's favorite was the coconut. Everything for the most part tasted just like you would expect, except for the mint flavored one. Something about the mint in the macaron was overbearing and took away from the dessert as a whole. As for presentation, it's an extremely clean and open establishment with all their pastries and chocolates laid out in the glass shelves. Try it out for yourself and see which one you like the best!

Cute small joint, tucked in the middle of other bigger shops or bars. I just happened to spot this because I have an eye for places that serve desserts. Amazing macarons and chocolate truffles. Their coconut and salted caramel macarons are out of the world and so are creme brulee truffles.

Such a cute little bakery! All of their pastries and macaroni looked so delicious! Had ate near this bakery and was looking for a little desert and these did not disappoint! Got a little box of six macaroons with different flavors, all of them were so delicious but my favorite one was the white chocolate raspberry! Definitely check it out if you have a sweet tooth and want to calm your cravings for a little desert!

My mom and I came here on a whim after eating lunch down the street, we were craving something sweet and this little shop was open. I ordered 6 macarons, my mom had the Napoleon cake and wasn't too impressed. She said it was sickly sweet and was really dry. The macarons I had were pretty good, I give it a 4/5 only because the macaron shell could have had more density since I like my macarons on the almost chewier side. It was more like a airy, fragile shell that immediately shattered and fell apart after a small bite. Flavors were good, I've had the gingerbread, lemon cream, pistachio, coffee, and the lavender white chocolate. No indoor seating, masks on at all times, and social distancing markers were placed. I believe there is a sign that limits how many people are allowed to come into the store. Yay!

After convening with the sea lions, seals and pelicans we were in need of a caffeine and sweet fix. Instead of an uninspired gigantic American drip coffee and muffin, we decided to go French. The macarons were just perfect. Small, delicate and full of flavor. Just right to satiate that fix without spoiling your appetite for dinner later in the evening. Raspberry Macaron: Tart raspberry jam on fluffy pillows of macrons. Really liked this classic. Colombian Coffee Macaron: A creamy coffee filling. Not super intense bitter coffee flavor, but still enjoyable. Key Lime Strawberry Macaron: The key lime really seemed to dominate the flavorful. I bet strawberry was the main ingredient in the jam filling, but you could barely taste it under the lime. Passion Mango Macaron: I love passion fruit and mango, so this was right up my alley. Didn't seem to taste as fruity as the raspberry, more sugary. Also, the macaron here tasted a bit stale. The shell was getting crystallized and chunky. Iced Coffee: I forget the exact name of this iced coffee drink, but it was mocha-centric. Very pleasant visual display with many layers varying from white to tan to dark. Was a bit bitter upon first sip, but just right when everything was mixed together. Not overly sweet like a Starbucks drink, which was just perfect to pair with the sweet macarons.

This is a great pastry shop. I stopped in for a cappuccino and to try one of their house baked croissants. The cappuccino was good and the croissant was outstanding. The croissant had that outstanding buttery texture but also just enough flakiness to add a bit of a crunch, but not to much that the croissant breaks apart. Also, inside the croissant were layers and layers of goodness. It arrived warm, soft, and moist. The cappuccino was flavor and had a good robust flavor and was smooth to drink. The ratio of steam milk and espresso was good. They offer a variety of French pastries and baked goods, including a variety and unique macaroons. They French lady and gent who served me were both very welcoming and sincere.

Best pistachio macarons. Very moist inside. It's hard to come by a good macaron, and this hits the spot every time I'm in La Jolla

Super cute shop! I love the Rose flavored macaroon which is by far my favorite and a must try! Others are a bit squishy, not the usual macaroon texture. My personal opinion.

This new high end pastry shop has a suite on Prospect St that is right across Girard Ave as it descends towards La Jolla Cove. It is a neatly decorated place with lots of items reminding you of France. I would say the menu prices were on the high side, but you are getting top quality, gourmet confectioneries from this national chain. In addition to macarons, they had eclairs, chocolates and candied fruit for sale at the display counters. I didn't see any gelatos like at their other locations, but maybe those will be added to the menu over time. I picked an assortment of goodies to go... a salted caramel chocolate, a creme brulee chocolate, one mango macaron, one raspberry macaron, a vanilla eclair, and a raspberry eclair. The eclairs were my favorites of the bunch. If you have a sweet tooth and don't mind spending extra on desserts, then give this spot a try.

Although i didn't get a Macaron, i did pick up a Creme Brulee! I don't find many often that i like, but i have to say it was so so delicious i wanted to buy another. Shared with a couple of friends and it was gone so quick! The packaging was simple/cute and customer service was great! My friend had also purchased a chocolate cigar and they loved it!

I stopped by after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. The cute little store and the colorful display of macarons caught my eye as we walked by. I was surprised at how pricey they were, but since we were on vacation, we decided to try some anyway. We ordered 6 macarons of various flavors. My favorite was the Madagascar vanilla. It was very light and had a delicate vanilla flavor. Simply delicious! The other flavors were pretty good too. The texture was deliciously chewy and airy, just the way a macaron should be. I also looked at the chocolates that they had and they looked so wonderfully hand-crafted and like the baker really took his or her time making them. The same goes for the other desserts like the eclairs. They were so appealing to the eyes. Beautiful! We also tried a chocolate eclair, which was yummy. Everything was obviously freshly made.

Great eclairs and terrible coffee. What else can you say? $4 for a way watered down double shot and a plastic creamer. Please, do yourself a favor and skip the coffee. Get a pistachio eclair and get out. Extra point for the reply that Nespresso is the best coffee in the world. They said it, not me. Too funny. Take the compliment on the eclair for goodness sake!

05.05.2018 Little O had the Bubble Gum (blue), H had the Coffee (brown) and I had the Passion Mango. The flavors were spot on!!! H's Coffee macaron had great flavor. It was not bitter or strong as most coffee flavored items can taste. The cream was light and complemented the macaron. Little O's Bubble Gum macaron did taste just like it. Though I did not get a chance to taste it. My Passion Mango was DELISH!!! Instead of a flavored cream in the middle there were preserves (or jam?) in the middle. The flavors were fruity, yet light. I could eat a dozen more but that would definitely not be good for me. LOL! The owners were so friendly. Their little shop was cute and comfy.

Le Macaron was a cute little spot not far from La Jolla beach. We wanted a sweet pick-me-up while exploring the area on foot and LeMacaron did the trick. The macarons are a little on the sweeter side so I tempered that with a cappuccino that wasn't as sweet. They have all the popular flavors plus some more unique ones as well. Worth checking out. Prices not "cheap" but this is La Jolla so perhaps there is a premium for the location. Interior is clean and neat. Street parking may not be the easiest to find in this area when it's during peak hours but we lucked into a spot right up front.
