| - Please note my review is based only on their macarons, which was my reason for visiting. The actual establishment is cute, the service was very friendly, and the other pastries and food looked good.
Now, onto the macarons. They were hands down the worst macarons I've had in the city. I purchased the six pack for $8.50 plus tax. They looked very pretty, and I nearly bought a larger pack. Thank God I've learned to buy macarons in small quantities, because there's nothing worse than wasting hard-earned money on bad macarons.
The colours, size and shape are appealing and look like the real deal. Do not be fooled by this! The macaron shells were not crisp and moist, instead they were chewy, gummy... dare I say rubbery? That's one word I've never used to describe any macaron. They did not taste like heavenly almond meringue. They tasted like raw Pillsbury dough left on the hood of a car. The fillings were equally atrocious. Stale jam and chalky ganache.
The flavours were lemon, raspberry, vanilla, orange, purple and green. I'm serious, I could not detect what flavours those colours were. I thought the green was either pistachio or mint, but the shell was just sweet and the filling tasted like nutella maybe.
I want a good macaron now to erase the painful memory! Sigh.
