I absolutely loved how the shimmer and star embellishments turned out! I ordered 3 flavors: strawberry yuzu, Dubai chocolate, and gochujang caramel. The gochujang caramel blew my mind -- it was sooo chewy and sweet with a hint of spiciness from the gochujang. The Dubai chocolate perfectly captured the signature crunch. The strawberry yuzu had a nice tart filling that complemented the strawberry cream. Absolutely thrilled with how the macarons turned out and would definitely work with Jolynn again!

So excited to visit this new Maddie Lu store in Blaine. Finally took the time to visit after seeing…read morea yard staked sign by the NSC fields....I made a U-turn!! The vibe is similar to the OG bakery in Coon Rapids. Very clean, simply decor that makes you feel welcome. We caught the place during a quiet lull so we have fast customer service. I picked out a 5- piece box of macarons. You pick the flavors to fill the box. Plenty of options to choose from. I loved the color coordination on the display case. I also picked out an oreo cupcake and oatmeal cheesecake cup. I haven't met a dessert by Maddie Lu that I haven't liked. Can't wait to try the macarons! Happy to have you in the area.

First time trying Maddie Lu's baked goods. They are located next to Jimmy John's and Clive…read moreRoadhouse off of Central & 105. I bought five macarons for $12 and a raspberry cheesecake cookie. You can also buy the macarons individually for $2.50 or 10 macarons for $24. They also have cupcakes too. They can also be found on DoorDash, but you can't select your flavors, though I suppose you could put it in the special instruction, so I decided to just stop by the store. When I first arrived, I was greeted and serviced immediately. The staff member was patient as I took a moment to decide which flavors. I also noticed they have some unique design macarons that look like a shark but in a vanilla flavor. The store is clean and has simple decor. It looks like they have a backdrop for a photo op. I felt very welcome in the store. I used to do subscription macarons, but it became pricey. I much prefer Macarons by Maddie Lu due to the flavor options, being able to obtain them locally, and I can choose the amount of macarons to have. They are very delicious, smell good, and have a nice crunch when you bite them. The raspberry cheesecake cookie was soft even after refrigeration for a few hours - I split and shared the cookie with my husband and it cut easily even after being in the fridge.

Meh is how I feel overall but I still recommend trying this place for their cupcakes at least once…read moreif you're in the area. Some cupcakes are better than others in terms of texture and flavor combos but I always found the chocolate flavor ones more moist than non chocolate flavor ones here. I would avoid the cake and overall not a place I would go out of my way for. Got a birthday cake here once and the frosting was overwhelming sweet and hard even after leaving the cake at room temp like the staff recommended. I think the service could be better too- not very friendly and they didn't really like to answer questions about certain ingredients when I was looking for vegan cupcakes for family members who don't have dairy. The space is decorative though and probably a fun spot if you're a fan of the owner from her books or being on tv.

A true hidden gem in Buffalo! They have a wonderful selection of gourmet foods (don't miss the sea…read moresalt chocolate--it was divine), high-end cookware, and unique kitchen tools.

A friend and I took The Abundant Kitchen's macaron cooking class & had a great experience. AK's…read moreowner provided a prep demo to go over the recipe & provided many do's and do not's she had either learned by experience, or from local macaron business owners in the twin cities. The demo was very helpful before we broke in to groups and tried it out for ourselves. Due to this class' popularity - the group sizes were a bit larger (we had 5). Although we all found tasks to divvy up, we did feel bad that most didn't get to really try out all the steps of making this high-maintenance cookie to really get hands-on experience. Becki, our instructor & AK owner, was very interactive and helpful throughout the whole class. She provided good tips and tricks & created a fun environment, encouraging & fostering great group interaction. During the baking time we took a brief "shopping break" to explore the store. Becki has so many practical, high-quality cooking items it is a great store. You could find absolutely anything you could possibly need in your kitchen! Back to class, Becki had prepped the buttercream for us to fill the cookies. She went over different combinations we could try with jelly fillings & then we got to try our hand at filling. We only wished we had remembered to ask a few questions about making the buttercream, since we didn't get to mix this up during the baking phase & gain hands-on experience. We are always so impressed with the variety of classes Becki offers, her passion for cooking, & we loved the great environment she fostered during the class. The members of the class were from all over the metro, proving it really is worth "the drive" to Buffalo if this is not a close location for you. AK's Facebook page and website are updated frequently to keep you in-the-know on all upcoming events. Time flies by during class! But you leave with a good experience, tactical skills, a recipe card, and for this class we each took home ~10 macarons. Bon appetit!

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.
