I heard some great things about this place before I came; they make amazingly decorated character macarons and when I saw the four teenage mutant ninja turtle macarons on my friend's instagram .. I WAS SOLD.
I came into richlane mall cautiously (because apparently the restaurant at the end is haunted and people see dead girls in the female bathroom- yeah, I don't know.. confirmation of this, anyone?) But I found zen right away, and I was blown away by how nice the decor is! It's dark, mysteriously crisp and super clean. The seats were high, cushiony and super comfortable. The woman working was super nice and welcomed us right away. Apparently the macarons are not a permanent thing- they get shipped in and they get sold out QUICK! The woman said the TMNT macarons may not come again.... boooo :( I didn't want to try the other macarons just because they're just plain and I didn't come here for that.
But then she told me the cheesecakes they receive come from the cheesecake factory? So my boyfriend and I took a seat and we ended up trying a slice. It was a small portion but it was really creamy and fruity at the same time. I enjoyed it, but it definitely was questionable- cheesecake factory is my life, and I'm pretty sure I'd recognize a slice of cake from there. The cheesecake sold there are sold in huge portions and they're a lot cheaper than here. (I understand, import fees and all that.. but.. still)
In the end, we ended up paying just under $10 (including tip) for a measly slice of cheesecake... worth it? Eh, maybe. Would I do it again? Probably not. I'm down to go back when they have character macarons though!! (One more thing.. the woman kept trying to tell me to follow their instagram because that's the /only/ way I'd know when their cute macarons shipped in)
