If you have a sweet tooth you GOTTA try Le Macaron. I drove by this place a few times and decided to stop in for a nibble. Boy am I glad I did. This spot looks awesome inside. It's the kind of spot you can chill at with some friends and enjoy some delicious macarons (don't get it confused with macaroons... If you know, you know. I tried several different flavors but have to give a shout out to the lavender and (surprisingly) bubble gum! The lavender was my #1 choice because it was sweet but not overpoweringly sweet and tastes absolutely amazing. The texture was perfect. Light crunchy shell and perfectly chewy inside. My mouth is watering just typing this review. Give this place a try if you haven't already. The ladies who work here are awesome! Mother and daughter owners. They made me feel welcome. Overall, great experience.

The pastry is so good the gelato does not have a flavor at all, it also tastes very Sandy. I know French foods are not high in sugar but believe the gelato was so horrible I ordered 3 coconut pistachio and vanilla. We love french pastry they are so good but they don't have plenty of variety and are so disappointed to arrive there and see miniature items, also expensive, I have been in a different French restaurant and definitely will say these are not for me or my family I like the ones in Santa Fe they are expensive also but it worked to eat at Clafoutis and French Pastry Shop and Restaurants. These two are the best

“I’ve tasted macarons before.” Grocery store bought macarons do not count! These are on another level. For 6 macarons, cost around 15 dollars. Quaint place. A great place to sit and enjoy coffee with friends. The macarons are delicious. The rose - smells and tastes like a rose The champagne- light and sweet lavender and white chocolate- can taste the lavender. It reminds me of fruity pebbles. Coconut- light and a hint of coconut Kiwi and strawberry- tastes like kiwi and strawberry Almond croissant- flaky and hint of almond flavored Cream cheese danish- super light and flaky. Delicious Coffee- free refills and delicious.

If this Popped up on your search results it’s for a reason! I had 1 experience with Macaron and never tried them again, but after trying this place and flavors: Birthday Cake, Madagascar Vanilla (My Favorite), Lavender white chocolate (Girlfriends Favorite) Red Velvet we will be frequent flyers. $16 for box of 6 of them was steep BUT if you value all natural and gluten free then you KNOW the value of these awesome treats!

  • Alyii Della

These macarons are disgusting and not worth the price ($3 each). I'm writing this as I just finished the salted caramel macaron; it left the most awful taste in my mouth - zero hints of salty nor sweet, and the filling tasted like someone got a spoonful of butter (yes, butter) and threw it on there. The outer shell was so gross, I'm still trying to get it out of my mouth. These are factory made apparently. Disgusting.

An array of options for desserts: macarons, ice cream, and more. Coffee, shakes, lattes, teas, and other warm seasonal beverages. The staff and owner were incredibly nice. Beautiful place to bring a friend or read a book. I’ll be returning more often ❤️☕️

Such a cute French bakery on the Westside. The owner or Tori was very sweet and welcoming. Ordered a few different items to sample and the bacon and cheese croissant and macarons were my favorite. I especially liked the fact thst they were gluten free and non gmo. Reasonably priced for a specialty bakery and I can't wait to go back to try their other items.

Le Macaron French Pastries is one of our favorite desert places in town! Their macaron and beignets are our personal favorites!! Since we found Le Macaron it is our first stop on our way to any potluck or party! Their customer service, quality, presentation, and prices are perfect!!

  • Ana Marquez

Was there around 2:30-3:00 today and was a little disappointed, asked about the flavors to the young lady helping us and she said “I don’t know i haven’t tried them” i mean it’s a new place wouldn’t employees be knowledgeable about the items? Reviews talk about friendliness but i guess I wasn’t a lucky customer, because we weren’t greeted and I did not experience the friendly atmosphere. Hopefully it was just a bad timing.

  • Joe VI

Very cute interior which shocked me at first! I was overwhelmed by all the options and beautiful sweets out on display. The woman working the register offered me some samples, which were on a platter above the assorted Macarons. I opted for a slice of edelweiss cake, which was light, delicate, sweet and delicious. Definitely yearning for more.

This place is definitely a 10/10! My husband and I were immediately greeted upon entry, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and appeared to really enjoy their place of work. The macaron’s were as delicious as the ones I had in Paris a few years back. I was absolutely impressed. Well done! …

  • Adrian Almeida

I rated the food 5 stars. The lady was super kind so 5 stars. The shop. It's cute and pretty. So 5 stars. Then why an overall 3? Dang it's expensive as all heck. And it might be tasty but when it's easily double what crumble or any other fancy bakery would be. It's really tough to justify going here. More

  • Celeste Uranga

Love this place. It's my new go to to meet people for a cup of coffee. All the pasties are amazing and the customer service is superb. I love that this place is family owned! The decor and astomphere is very cute, cozy and quiet.

The gelato was amazing! They have a variety of macaroons. We absolutely loved the lavender macaroon and the basil chocolate macaroon. The woman that helped us was very friendly as well. Definitely a must try. We will be back to try the more macaroon flavors. As well as the chocolates.

  • Michelle Chino-Kelly

Delicious and delightful. Bright and cheerful shop with outdoor seating.The pastries are fantastic- best croissant I've had in a long time. If you don't think you like macarons you haven't tried these. Amazing. I hope there will be more items to choose from in the future.

  • Amy Bradley

We often stop here after dinner at Sakura Sushi and Grill. The staff is friendly. I love the macarons. My husband can't eat them (allergic to nuts & macarons are made with almond flour), but he really likes the gelato. I also love the various croissants and eclairs.

  • Doc Age

We ordered a variety of things. I wasn't overly impressed with anything we ordered, really. The macarons were GF, and had good flavor. It was disappointing to find that they don't actually make any of the product there. Much too expensive to not be fresh. More

  • Alexandria Garza

Loved stopping by Le Macaron! The place is cute with plenty of seating. They have an assortment of macarons, gelato, coffees, and all other goodies. The macaron flavors I got were so yummy. Definitely grab a birthday cake macaron when you stop by.

  • Chynna Comer

Absolutely adorable vibe. Fantastic macarons and their specialty coffee was delicious. My friend and I spent our afternoon trying 12 different macarons and catching up. It was perfect. Highly highly recommend. Sweet little gem on the Westside.

  • Susan Page ABQ

Felt like Valentine's Day early! We both ate the "new" crepes: mine with gelato and my husband's without. He also had a cup of coffee. Very comfortable space to enjoy our breakfast. We then gave in to the temptation of trying one of

  • Michaela Brockett

I originally know this place from Las Vegas, NV. Everytime I go to Vegas I need to go get these macaroons. If you ever had proper macaroons (like Ladurée) this is as close as it gets! I am honestly surprised they opened a store in

  • Regina

This is one of the cutest places in the city! Beautifully decorated and the macaroons are so good! I got the coconut one and cookies and cream ice cream!

Erin was so sweet and friendly. I had the BEST birth cake and bubble gum macaron ever. They were so soft and flavorful. Delicious Eclairs too. Will be back!

  • Charlie Falcone

Amazing customer service. The sweetest lady helped us and gave us free samples. Everything was amazing and I got the macaron and gelato.

  • Fawn Lopez

As one of the previous reviewers mentioned the beignets are delicious. I wish they also offered fried beignets and souffles.

  • Zoe Howell

Pastries were ok but coffee was very watery and didn't have much flavor (I had an espresso)

  • Nazneen Akhtar Rahim

Macarons are gluten free and delicious. Such a pretty cafe!
