| - Super disappointed. The first time I went, I paid full price, second time with a Groupon. If I hadn't gone paying full price once, I'd be giving this review a 0 - my Groupon experience was horrible.
I really don't understand why they chose a Groupon promotion if they were just going to end up compromising the store's reputation with it. The macarons were frozen, none of their good flavours were included (no choice, and some were completely unpalatable), limited variety, and by the time they had thawed, they almost all tasted off. Some were definitely frost bitten. No lie - I've had better macarons from Loblaws. The attitude I got picking them up was aloof - borderline snobby. I appreciate I'm not a full paying customer with a groupon, but isn't the point of this promo to try and make me one?
I did have a better experience when I paid full price for the macarons, to be fair. Service was pretty shoddy, regardless, but I did get to try a few different flavours. Some are good, some are experimental and off-putting. Macarons are chewy, rather than soft, and not all of them were fresh. For the price, no way they're worth it. If you're going to be charging several dollars per macaron, I'm expecting the quality to be on level with Nadege, and this just isn't.
I won't go back.
