Le Macaron sells authentic French delights- not to be confused with American macaroons ! These tasty bites are the real thing- a French sweet based on almonds, not coconuts. The gift boxes are delightful and there is a wide range of flavors ! If you visit St Armands Circle and want to treat yourself to a special surprise, stop by... More

These macarons are just too good to be true... try their "white chocolate & basil", or "vanilla" macarons. They also can deliver, at a very good price. A place you must visit! More

I was expecting the macarons in the middle of St Armands to cost an arm and a leg, but alas the price wasn't so bad. The gift boxes look pretty nice. More

Visited this establishment while spending a girl's weekend away. I took a moment to talk to the girl working behind the counter and her passion for baking was so refreshing and it shines through their products. Please don't let the price cause you to hesitate from this pleasure. If I were broke, I would beg for change so I could... More

I knew when I heard the owners speaking French that these macarons would be good...but, they were wonderful and very very fresh. I purchased a box of 6 assorted (which I chose) and thought they would last for awhile; but, I only have 2 left & I bought them yesterday!! Too bad I'm back home. The creme brule gelato was... More

My husband and I had just come back from a trip to France where we had just sampled Macarons in Rouen. When we went to St Armands for a regular visit we found Le Macaron and tried a dozen of their macarons. They were delicious and equal to the French macarons we had just enjoyed. Hope everyone goes to Le... More

The family of this beautiful corner patisserie is one of a kind. Genuine French macarons are a subliminal treat that taste unlike anything else. Soft on the inside, with a wonderful crunchy -but not crumbly- shell. And don't be fooled by the pretty colors of the famous Norman Love chocolate; their taste is unparallel to any chocolate I have ever... More

Little bakery-not much of a selection. What was available was cute and yummy looking. Unfortunately when we went in,there was no one at the counter. We looked at the deserts, but still no one. More

While walking around St. Armand's Circle one evening we came across Le Macaron and I have seen that selection since my last trip to Paris. The incredible flavors one does not usually enjoy in the US was in abundance in this little shop. Delightful and sinful selections of pastries. More

New shop opened in Armands Circle, it was recommended to us by a waitress in Town Tavern, Celebration. The macaroons on sale here are simply unbelievable, as is the ice-cream and coffee. Great place to go after your meal in Armands Circle, nice and quiet with great service. Owned by a French family, who we had the pleasure of meeting,... More
