| - Only stopped in to try a macaron. No reason to go back. Waste of money, even if the people are super nice.
I love macarons; Laduree and Maidon du Chocolat have some of my favorite flavors. I have been fortunate enough to eat them in France regularly since i was very young. Ever since I moved to Arizona, I have been craving one again. I heard this place was good.
The macaron was not good. Not even for cake or cookie standards. It was too dense, not crispy enough on the outside, and thick instead of fluffy on the inside. The ganache was like fondant, it was so thick! In fact, I couldn't help but make a face through the first few bites, and had to throw it out. I tried the chocolate, mint chocolate, vanilla, and lemon: similar results.
If I am in the mood for a dense cake, I will buy a cake for cheaper. In addition, drink menu advertises soy milk for an extra $0.60 but when I asked only one drink could actually be made with soy milk.
Extra star because the staff was amazingly nice and I almost felt bad for how disappointing the food was.
