I heard through the grapevine The Sweet Escape only sells macarons on Saturdays and Sundays, so I stopped in today late afternoon (Saturday) to pick some up. The place was quite busy, with lots of people buying stuff to go or seated in the dining area. The staff were efficient and very nice, which was cool considering how busy it was.
Prices are $2.00 per macaron or $10.00 for 6 macarons. They had three flavours today: chocolate, salted caramel and coconut. I'd read from previous reviews that their macarons are "meh", so I was prepared for mediocrity. Well, perhaps they kicked it up a notch with the recipe... because these macarons were a-ok! They were crispy and airy, yet still moist in the centre. I could tell they were fresh. Not overly sweet, and the flavours were distinct. If I'm ever there again during the weekend, I'd most likely stop in for some more. If you go for macarons only (like I did), make sure you go on the first day they sell them so that they taste their best. The other cookies and cupcakes on display looked interesting, too.
