The first time I came here, I picked macarons that weren't flavorful enough. I can't remember all the flavors. But, I recalled the Thai tea, tiramisu, sea salt caramel, and pistachio not having enough umph to them. On my second visit today, I was determined to find flavors that had a wow factor to them. I got the six piece macaron box, since that is the smallest box you can order, I think. Of the six I ordered this time around, four of them were winners. Yay. Here's a breakdown of each macaron during my second visit (this'll help me too, so I don't order a particular flavor again. Lol):
Earl Grey: Just wow! What a punch of Earl grey tea flavor. It's like they truly took steeped tea and infused it throughout the macaron cream filling. So aromatic!
Mint chocolate: My sis got to try this out, and she said it too had tons of flavor. She said it tasted exactly like mint chocolate ice cream in a macaron. I'm trying this myself next time!
Almond: if you like almond or amaretto flavor, the cream filling is packed with this flavor. It can be quite overpowering if you eat it too quick. So, enjoy little bites of it with hot tea or coffee. I enjoyed this macaron.
Gingerbread: if you like anything with pumpkin spice or molasses or ginger flavor, you'll like this macaron. It's not as in your face as the other three macarons above, but I enjoyed it because it tasted like a delicate gingerbread or ginger snap cookie.
Passion fruit: My sis and lil bro tried this the first time around and stated it was flavorful. I tried this on my second visit here, and found it not to have enough fruity flavor. I tasted more buttercream, than passion fruit. I will have to say, though, I did have a small corner bite that actually had a good amount of passion fruit flavor in it. My request to the pastry chef: Please infuse more passionate fruit throughout the cream filling.
Lavender: Now, this is a tough flavor to infuse into any dessert or drink. It's a fine line between a lovely pleasant flavor and a strong flavor close to soap. I think my macaron unfortunately leaned towards the latter and was unpleasant to eat.
Obviously, when you do come here, you will find macarons that are a hit or a miss for you, depending on if you like strong or subtle flavors, or anywhere in between. I just kept on trying different macaron flavors until I found some standouts. I will have to say all the macarons here have a nice light texture and a slight chew to them that's enjoyable to eat. I will be back to reorder the flavors I liked and to try out other flavors too. I hope when the pandemic is over, I'll be able to sit indoors and eat their macarons while sipping coffee or tea. It's very beautiful inside with elegant chandeliers and seating. Come check them out and find your macaron flavor.
