We were visiting friends in AnnArbor and were downtown and wanted a treat after some shopping…read more They took us here which is a fave of theirs it's a really cute little shop with nice seating, French themed decor and a welcoming staff. The case of macarons was beautiful , multicolored rows of well labelled flavors. We each made some selections and ordered some drinks. Our hosts ordered a large French press pot to share. I had time to speak with staff about the last k of space for baking and how they arrived at so many flavors. They do not bake onsite but receive frozen shipments from the main bakery in Grand Rapids as handiest the Holland, Michigan store. They defrost enough each for each day so they never run out of flavors. They were some of best I have ever had. Nothing like what you might find in the bakery section of a grocer. This is an historic residential building retrofit with a nice conversion to retail without losing its charming brickwork. I will definitely return when next in Ann Arbor.

I've wanted to stop by but always had planned activities elsewhere. Until today…read more The shop is beautiful: exposed brick walls, small marble-topped tables, petite vases filled with flowers, sparkly chandeliers, and a garland of pink and white flowers. It's so appealing. The macarons displayed in the case were equally appealing. I don't recall all the flavors, but I had a tough time picking out flavors for my friend and, of course, something for me. I chose three macarons to enjoy at the shop: blueberry, coconut, and strawberry cheesecake. I liked the delicate crack of the macaron shells and the creamy, flavorful centers. Each sported a design to distinguish itself from the others further. I also had a piping hot Earl Gray tea along with these treats. Espresso, French and Italian sodas, and lattes are also available. Customers stopped in throughout my visit for a quick purchase or to savor their macarons at nearby tables. Service was disappointing.

It's bigger than it looks from the outside!…read more There is some seating by the windows and then some near the back area (behind the "tea bar"). They are selling really cute tea ornaments and they have other things like tea pots and cards with funny phrases like "It was you Oolong." They don't have a physical menu because the flavors constantly change. You can look online but for the most part, have to stand behind the counter in diff areas to see alll the flavors! I spotted Almond Milk Tea and she let me smell it and I was sold! It smelled wonderful! When it was actually brewed, it was ok though. It doesn't really have milk in it either :0p My MIL got the Hisbiscus (a tad too sour) and my husband got the Japanese Cherry green tea (that was good and has a mild flavor if you like that sort of thing). They have signs on the table that there is no Wifi because they encourage unplugged conversations and connections.

Everyone was super friendly inside and it was very pleasant. A zillion teas are for sale by weight and I got a few. We also prefer hot teas. My son had pineapple mango and I have the baked apple. Both were beyond outstanding! I also got two varieties of earl grey to try at home. They also have a tea oriented retail area and a snack bar, and a drink bar too. Overall a real gem of a spot. J.Ja

The strawberry crumble slice was too sweet for me and cakey (I usually prefer pies so next time I want to try one of their tarts). The lobster tail was quite crunchy and unique. Flavor was ok. My husband prefers these kind of desserts more than me.

I consider myself to be pretty picky when it comes to French macaron. Yeah, I've been to Paris a…read morecouple of times. I've been to the big world famous places and had them from the source, not just in their U.S. expansion locations. Let me tell you this. The macaron at The Blu Kitchen, this tiny little place with barely any operating hours at all, from a quality of product perspective is making delicious little morsels that compare favorably with the world's best. Some of the flavors, I'm looking at you salted caramel, are even better than what I had abroad. Of course, there are others that fall short. Notably the ones with sprinkles. However, I am told by Adina they are big sellers with the local crowd. Mon dieu. Arrive early on Saturday for the best selection. Things will sell out. But this is the cost of great food. Comparing the macaron here to others available locally, these are better than that preciously cute store in downtown Ann Arbor. The flavors are true. The textures are perfect. And they far surpass that Detroit pastry chef guy who makes other great things but whose macaron leave me disheartened. Macaron are pretty pricey for a little cookie. But when they are good, they are worth every penny. Why? Because they encapsulate a pursuit of perfection. As a small bite, they need to pack a flavorful punch. That flavor comes from the center. But here's the trick, that center cannot overshadow the rest of the confection. It has to blend seamlessly into the textures of the crisp outer shell, which coalesces into a tender almond flour interior, and that dense creamy middle. At one of the famous places in Paris, the filling was just far too stiff and produced a jarring effect. This can happen on occasion to the best macaron bakers and Adina is no exception. But her pursuit of perfection and attention to detail in every element of production are extraordinary. This review has been a long time coming and serves as a reminder to me that I need to get back to Plymouth for another fix. It's been far too long, and I saw on the gram I just missed coconut caramel. Dang it. If you are a macaron fan, you owe it to yourself to get some of these in your mouth. You can thank me later. Just skip the ones with the sprinkles, and maybe if enough of us buy the better unadorned versions, Adina will stop pandering to the crowd and make the world class treats I know she can.

My top order is a hojicha latte with grass jelly or regular boba. Also love a jasmine milk tea with coconut and strawberry jellies. Also a fan of the dragon fruit sparkling tea drink! They accommodate the sweetness and ice options here, which I always appreciate. Their teas taste fresh and not like they are from a basic powder blend like at a lot of places. This is quality stuff, folks!! Due to this I think it's a bit pricier than Coco and the other boba places around town. They've started offering onigiri recently which is awesome. I find them to be quite authentic. A lovely quick snack. Their macarons are also a nice treat! Very nice staff, HUGE menu with tons of options, pretty quick service unless it's busy.

I'm not excited about their pastries whatsoever, especially when places like bird dog in ypsi have a superior sourdough that gets me through the week perfectly. Step it up guys
