My son goes to Arizona State and brought home a dozen macaroons a few months back. They were so delish that I vowed that on our next visit, we'd be sure to take advantage of these delectable treats in person! Luckily, my son also knows someone who works there and he recommend when times to go so we can make sure the macaroons and all other baked goods were fresh!
I was not disappointed! We had breakfast and my main focus was tasting and bringing home a few macaroons. It was OMG yummy and managed to bring home a dozen minis and a few full sized macaroons! I do agree with others about the slowness of service to get our breakfast. They should speed that up a bit as I know it can be hard to manage both a bakery/cafe, but I've been to others that are fast and efficient. We were only there on a weekday and can only imagine on a Saturday.
Being at the epicenter of food (SF Bay Area), the bakery/cafe would fit right in the Bay. Thanks to Derrick one of the best workers at Essence who turned our family to these yummy treats!!
