I was met with a VERY nice woman who explained everything out to me! 11/10 on costumer service!! Truly, this is some of the best costumer service I have had in awhile! I picked out 8 flavors and a candle. They have a small selection of other items besides the macarons. There are 2 tables inside for sitting down to snack with 2 chairs at each table. Don't make a rookie mistake like me! These are refrigerated when you first get them. Let them come to room temp before you eat them! I had some of them right away and while they did taste good, they were REALLY good when they were room temp. These are delicate and delicious! These are definitely some of the best I have ever had! My top 3 flavors I enjoyed were: 1) Blueberry cheesecake 2) Almond 3) Raspberry I also got a soy candle and it is the perfect fall scent! Can't wait to burn it later in the year! These would make a great gift as well as a treat for yourself!

We are on an adventure to go to as many boba tea places or bakeries as possible! This was on the…read moreway running errands and decided to check it out. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building and they had a cute sign out front. They are located on a somewhat busy street, so this could make or break some of their business. Ambiance: Inside was huge! This would be a great place to meet with a small group as they have different areas inside to sit and converse. It wasn't very busy when we were there but it was around 1 on a Tuesday. They have a bakery, ice cream counter and boba. They had a bakery case that looked really tasty, so we decided to get 3 items to share. - Lemon macaron - perfection and had a gooey chewiness. We could eat a ton of these. - Eclair - I don't think I've ever had an eclair and now I am questioning why! It was chilled and the perfect amount of filling to outside pastry. The chocolate falls off when you bite it, so eat over a napkin to not lose any pieces. - Chocolate croissant or pastry. I think it was Nutella and it was incredible! Flakey, gooey and everything you'd want it to be. I'm sure you could warm it up and it would elevate it further. Yum! We both got a fruit tea and it was a lot. Sadly, I wouldn't get again as it was too sweet and my boba tasted like ramen noodles. (It actually made me hungry for ramen). My teen got the strawberry milk tea and even said it was sickly sweet and she needed the ice to sit. Overall, I didn't love the boba... but I would recommend the pastry! They also had some decadent looking muffins and cake slices. If in the neighborhood, stop in! I think they should make a Macaron ice cream sandwich! The woman that helped us was so sweet and patient while we took forever to decide what we wanted.

One family member even commented on how perfect the texture was, saying they're used to macarons being hard, but these were light, fluffy, and creamy.

I ordered the seasonal latte with coconut syrup and oat milk, and it was delicious. The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the espresso perfectly. I also tried the smoked salmon croissant. The croissant itself was flaky and flavorful, although I could have done without the poached egg, especially since it was served cold. The pastries were a highlight! The citrus tart was fantastic and reminded me of a key lime pie with its bright, tangy flavor and beautiful designs. I even brought a few pastries home, and they were just as enjoyable later. One of my favorite parts of the visit was enjoying breakfast on the patio while people watching in Kingfield. I also had no trouble finding free street parking right across from the patisserie, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great breakfast spot with friendly service, delicious coffee, and excellent pastries. I'd definitely come back!

Also, they don't have many storefront hours since they seem to do most of their business online and via catering (and a cute, vintage truck). But on Saturday I was able to pop in and get a box of fresh ones, and they're the best macarons I've ever had! Most macarons look the same, but you can spot some fanciness in these, and you can really taste them when they're fresh, so flavorful! I wound up putting most of them in the freezer for later, and it turns out that if you do that and let them defrost for an hour, they are delicious that way. My favorites so far are the orange/chocolate, the strawberry shortcake, and the marshmallow flavors. These are an appropriate offering for a party or event that's kind of special. And as they are fond of pointing out, macarons happen to be 100% gluten-free. Although I went to their nice shop in St Paul, you should look for them at Surdyk's or at Nadia Cakes. Super tasty!

Truthfully, I was on the hunt for a bathroom, but was more than willing to grab a sweet treat while we were there. I had already peeked at what people were enjoying out on the patio, and on such a perfect spring day, it was hard to pass up. We ended up trying a few macarons. They were beautifully displayed and there were so many flavors to choose from. We had a family dinner later that day, so they felt like a great option to bring along. We stopped in closer to 1pm so I'm guessing the selection of donuts and cakes was a bit picked over compared to the morning hours. That said, they still have a good variety and I would definitely go back earlier in the day to try one of those donuts! We had a few questions about how the macarons would hold up in a warmer car, and the employee helping us was happy to answer everything. It seemed like the owner was there as well and heading out for the day. She was very kind, especially to let us use the bathroom. One quick note, Google shows Amy's Cupcake Shoppe as permanently closed, so they may want to look into updating that. Overall, a really great stop and one I'm glad I stumbled into - those usually are the best!
