There are a few window bar seats and one outdoor table, but it's otherwise more of a to-go type place. Clean restroom. Street parking. Mild noise level. Can get cramped when busy. As their name suggests, they offer a wide selection of macarons, all of which look delicious. They also have various sweet and savory pastries, coffees, teas, and lemonades. I've only had their hot tea, so I can't speak on the other drinks; I do appreciate the variety and uniqueness of the tea flavors offered as those aren't usually highlighted much. The pastries are flaky, delicious, and filling - definitely recommend the feta spinach croissant. Prices are fair. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I definitely appreciate when people notice you as you walk in. The prices are very reasonable. There were too many items to select from yet I ended up with a simple chocolate croissant that day.

While the cold brew latte was premade with whole milk, the staff was very upfront that customization with milk alternatives wasn't possible. I was a tad disappointed that the foam took up over half of the cup. For that reason, I'll probably avoid that option next time. The display of the pastries made everything look so appetizing, and the shop itself is quite cute. The staff were friendly, and the seating options, while limited, do offer multiple options for patrons.

Some of the Dance Girls had a fancy afternoon tea party here (thanks to some of the super awesome Dance Moms). They had a great time taking over the catwalk area.

Lastly, just came for Tea with Santa...what an awesome setup and a great Santa! Each visit was filled with great tea sandwiches/finger snacks, Tea, and Hot Cocoa. The place is fancily and tastefully decorated. The service is always great and they work hard to create a memorable experience. All in all, a great place that fits perfectly in the heart of our cute Hallmark town!

I'm glad I visited as the chocolate is excellent. This tiny store is filled with many different products, mostly chocolates. They have chocolate bonbons in so many awesome flavors including strawberry lemon, honey Taheen, mango passionfruit, espresso, dark chocolate orange, pecan praline, blueberry, carrot cake, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, dark chocolate coconut, dark chocolate raspberry, dark chocolate hazelnut, very berry, sea salt, caramel caramel, apple and yuzu lemon. Those were just today's flavors. There are others in rotation. They also have hot chocolate mixes including a spicy one, granola, jarred candies, candles, bath salts, and packaged chocolate bar pieces. Additionally, they have house-made pastries like chocolate chip cookies, scones, and macaroons. The store then brings in the outside with many plants and cacti and reading material. See my pictures! The very helpful single staffer was able to answer my questions and very friendly. Although I had only purchased one set of seconds, I opted to buy two more on the spot. The bonbons are usually $3 each and come in 3, 5, 10, 15, or 24 packs. When I got back I was highly anticipating the pieces. In one pack I got raspberry and lemon. I have yet to open the other two. What I tried was delicious and had to stop myself from eating them all. Very happy with Aurora Grace Chocolates.

It was very hard trying to decide which ones to order, so I decided on the large crème brulee tart and the lavender pound cake. To say they were both fabulous would be an understatement.
