Stumbled across this little gem while in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor! Le Bon is more than macarons. They serve Rowsters French press coffee and espresso, fresh scones Thursday-Sunday, as well as French and Italian sodas made with their hand-crafted fruit puree. The cafe is beautifully decorated and super inviting. The staff is friendly and quick to serve. A great spot for a bestie catchup or afternoon tea.
Absolutely favorite place to stop at in Ann Arbor! This place is ungodly adorable! From the little gifts to the bright colored macarons, this place is a social media managers dream. The macaroons are some of the best I've had in Michigan they have the classic flavors and ones that rotate in and out with the seasons! I highly recommend
Adorable French cafe with beautiful and delicious macarons and coffe creations. Clean, chic ambiance.
I didn't think I liked macarons until I tried these. The macarons are so light and delicious. The shop is super cute. They have a couple tables to sit inside. They serve coffee drinks as well. My favorite flavor is hazelnut. These make the cutest gift.
I've officially tried every macaron place in metro detroit. I've been reserving judgment until I tried Le Bon. Verdict at the bottom. I've been wanting to try this place for years. Since back when they were one of the only macaron places in town. The place was very cute. Very "we serve macarons here". Reminded me of is Laudree painted their walls white and toned it down a little. Service was friendly. The macarons were!..........alright. As a self proclaimed macaron connoisseur, I look for 3 things: texture, flavor, appearance. Some of their macarons had all 3. Some had only 2. The lack of consistency is what took away points for me. I tried: Special flavor: Yuzu PB&J Raspberry rose Almond Blue moon Matcha And the last one I forgot the name. It was something and champagne I think. I started with Yuzu- 2/3 (cute, good texture, no flavor) Almond 3/3 PB&J 3/3 but didn't really taste the J Something and champagne 2/3 (no flavor) Blue moon 3/3 Raspberry rose 2/3 (no flavor) Matcha 2/3 (no flavor- this one really hurt cuz I love matcha anything) The texture was decent but it wasn't special or unique. It's the same texture pretty much everyone else has. While a couple had nice flavors, none of them wowed. None of the macarons told me I needed to make the trip and come back. So now with all my macaron adventures, who is officially the best? (In my opinion of course) Le Detroit Macaron in Hamtramck. Very consistent. In all 3.
Gorgeous cafe and their macarons are delish! Love the wide variety of flavors they have to choose from.
If you are in the Kerrytown craving a small sweet, Le Bon Macaron is the perfect place to grab a macaron or two. You can also get a kettle full of tea here for $5 or some coffee to enjoy with your macarons! PEAR MACARON - 2.35 I only wanted one macaron and there were so many on this display that looked delectable. The pear stood out to me because of the gold printed on top of a sea foam green cookie that made it eye catching and aesthetic. It was a bit too sweet for me but definitely an enjoyable treat that satisfied my sweet cravings this afternoon. The pear flavor was very evident and enjoyable. Overall, pretty $$$ but I'd recommend giving it a try. I will definitely try more macarons next time and enjoy them with a pot of tea.
Cute macaron shop in downtown Ann Arbor. We bought their standard pack of 6 for $15. Service was very friendly as well.
cute atmosphere, craft beverages, always a variety of macarons, and an easy location to find considering it's ann arbor
Absolutely darling little shop! Definitely worth a quick stop if you are in downtown Ann Arbor. The space is tiny, but decorated in a delightful tea party chic kind of way. You'll get plenty of pics for your Instagram in this place! The staff was very friendly and they also do a nice job of listing out dietary restrictions for each type of macaron (Note: the majority are gluten free and the exceptions are clearly marked). The macarons themselves are generally quite good, although some flavors I think are more successful than others. The presentation of the macarons is perfect! They all look stunning. Le Bon Macaron has a TON of flavor options, although not every flavor will be available every day. Overall, I would say that the majority of their macarons are very sugary/sweet. When we went we got a variety to taste: -Matcha - you could generally taste the matcha flavor, but it was really drowned out by the intense sugary-ness of the macaron 6/10 -Raspberry - a classic. Very good! 10/10 -Mexican Chocolate - this one has cayenne pepper in it, which definitely comes through in the end. pretty good! 8/10 -Speculoos - this did not taste like speculoos remotely. This one just did not work for me 2/10 If I were to return to Le Bon Macaron, I would probably stick with the more traditional macaron flavors. Overall, glad I stopped by this place and would recommend it!
Small cafe with a beautifully photogenic decor. The line can be a little long when people cannot decide which of the many flavors of macaron they want. Friendly and bright environment for an afternoon break with some drinks and sweets.
Place: This place is probably the cutest place to sit down with your friend and catch up. The space is smaller so it is probably best if you go in twos. However, I have seen bridal parties take place here too. Service: The service is really good and they try to make sure you get the best price for your stay. It is more expensive so when we were going to get 2 cups of tea the employee told us getting a pot of tea would be better! Super thoughtful and nice! Extra bonus points :) Food/price: The food is sweet and delicious. It is a dessert place and more finger foods so this is post-dinner kind of place. $$ It is pretty expensive but worth once in awhile when you want to celebrate graduation or a special meet up. For example a box of macaroons (6 in a box) is $14... but still really good :)
Finally got to stop in here when I was in Ann Arbor this weekend, I've been following them on Instagram for awhile now and everything looked so good. Macarons are $2.25 each, or $2.10 each if you buy a pack of six or more. Since I still had a few stops to make that day I decided to buy a pack of six. Creme brulee: burnt on the top like real creme brulee, but a little too burnt for me. Blueberry muffin: tasted like how it sounds. Delicious. Mexican hot chocolate: good but too cinnamon-y for me. Mimosa: tart and tasty. Black currant: more what I'm used to with macarons, and very good. Cookies and cream: also very good. The macarons are a little pricey based on the sizes, but everything was very tasty and you'll find flavors that you haven't seen anywhere else. I recommend stopping in next time you are in Ann Arbor.
First visit to this cute little shop with some girlfriends and it was so great! The lemon blueberry scone was delicious and the big pot of tea was definitely worth the $5- stay hydrated friends! The sipping chocolate was a definite 10/10 with my friend. We will be back again! Very charming decor and a nice place to study or meet up with friends. read more
I absolutely loved the macarons! I ordered 5; however wished I had ordered more. I had fruity pebble, birthday cake, strawberry margarita, one with ginger and the last flavor I can't recall as they are all very unique!! They were amazing!! Pillow soft cookies and the perfect amount of filling. The flavors were strong and delicious. The shop was very cute and charming. I look forward to many visits as macarons are one of my guilty pleasures! Still amazing!! read more
At $2 a macaron, they better be decent! To be honest I didn't have the highest hopes going in, as AA restaurants typically have a lot to be desired. However, I got drawn in by their $4 coffee + 1 macaron deal and that's how I ended up there! The outlay is white and crisp and clean; it's small, but is a pleasant place to get work done. The cold brew was delicious and was strong (exactly what I needed). I ended up getting the sea salt caramel macaron and that was incredible; it was small but rich and exploded with flavor. Clearly they know what they're doing; going to be the spot I go to when I need to curb my sugar craving! read more

Goods Who would have guessed there is a frou-frou macaron boutique in Ann Arbor Michigan? And yet this one takes the "cake" or macaron for that matter. I have made it a point to try macarons every chance I get at various stores and these were among some of the best. I evaluate based on appearance, texture, and balance of flavor. These were beautifully designed. Each one is unique with gold leaf, paint, color swirls, and other sprinkles to subtly signify or hint at what the flavor will be. My ideal macaron is lightly crisp on the exterior without having to bite down then give way to a very moist and fluffy interior. This all leads up to the burst of flavor. Here these do just that and the flavors are as advertised but without being obvious. I was sad when leaving Ann Arbor since I felt I wouldn't be able to get them again. I enjoyed the blueberry Italian cream soda. It has a blueberry syrup like flavor and topped with a macaron of your choice from their window. Only problem was that it was such a small cup. When I first researched this macaron store, I noticed that they offered cream puffs on weekends only. For this reason, we went on a Saturday. When we arrived, I was told that they are now only available on special occasions or for special orders/large orders. This was very disappointing and when looking at the website it still states available on sat/sun. Ambiance Just beautiful. I love the bright white and clean interior. They display the teas in glass vials on a rotating stand and I loved this little detail. Clear simple vases of flowers at every table. Seating is a bit limited and close quarters, but given the area I suppose they worked with what they were given. If I had a bakery, I'd want it to be similar to the ambiance here. Service I loved macarons so much, we went TWICE. First time we got a dozen macarons and for the shopping bag it was a plastic grocery bag...very disappointing. Second time we just got a 6 pc box and the employee there provided a BEAUTIFUL white shopping bag with the branding in silver lettering. I pointed this out and she stated "yeah, those grocery bags are UGLY..." It left a slightly sad taste for me just thinking that maybe they are encouraged to save the bags even if you make a proper purchase. MoJo Anything you order here will be delicious if you love fancy macarons. Try every flavor because none of them disappoint. read more

I've been meaning to check this place out for some time now. Lucky last week I accidentally parked right in front of it on my way to breakfast. I was so amazed when I walked in, I could literally live there! It actually looks like something I would design. The girls were so kind and helpful to me. I ordered the cinnamon/honey latte, it has another name but I can't remember it. It was honestly the best iced latte I have had in my entire life! I grabbed 6 macarons to try: Jasmine, Cookie Monster, French Plum, Orange, Pistachio, and Samoa. The Jasmine stole the show and was by far my favorite of the bunch! I've been looking for excuses to go back all week! Definitely my new go-to and will be on my blog soon! read more

Strong, jammy flavors. They're plenty moist (I'm always disappointed in dry macarons), but they lay the flavor on heavier than I usually find in France. I'm a little put off by the metallic paint on many of the flavors --- I actively avoided those. A few poppyseeds or some swirled colors are fine, but silver and gold don't look appetizing to me. The chocolate and hazelnut were reasonable, and chocolate-raspberry was nice --- but some of the fruit flavors were just too Smuckers for my taste. Tasty and moist, but a little lacking in refinement. read more

Le Bon has quickly become one of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. I have lived in the city for almost 7 years and have struggled to find a macarons that I have genuinely enjoyed. This has changed now that Le Bon is in Ann Arbor. The store itself is gorgeous with a very chic and classy ambiance. The macarons are displayed beautifully and there are cute aprons and macaron-themed products to buy on the side. I have visited the shop three times since it opened, and every time the macarons have been soft, moist and wonderful. The quality is never lacking and they taste just how good macarons should. My only qualm with the shop is that there is limited seating, but seeing as it is a small shop, there is not much room for more tables. I know that I will be coming back here many times while I am still in Ann Arbor. read more

4 stars for the overall experience at Le Bon!! Though some the macarons could've used more flavor infusion (esp., yuzu, eggnog), the shop is super cozy and sparkly, and the oolong creme tea was yum! For comparison purposes, Laduree and Lette macarons still pack more subtle and differentiated flavor blends without being cloyingly sweet. Le Bon, while pretty sweet, still have more flavor than the ones at TeaHaus. Will be back for tea dates :-D read more

It's hard to say this, but the macarons at Le Bon Macaron are BETTER than the ones I had in Paris. The flavors are robust and unique. The macarons are perfectly made - crisp on the outside, chewy in the middle. My husband, who historically doesn't like macrons, can't stop raving about the ones we had last night. I honestly haven't seen him this enthusiastic about any dessert in a long time! Their little shop is beautiful as well and the staff is always friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place for a sweet treat after a date night or a fun place to go with the girls. What's even better is that this is a local Michigan company! Can't recommend it enough! read more
I've been craving non-stop for Macaron. One day, I braved downtown despite hating the parking conditions. I had to park a block away and brisked walked to the store. Flavors I got: *Matcha (fave too. You can really taste the matcha) *Lavender (I've had a lot of lavender flavored foods/drinks but this was kinda weird. Maybe it was the bits of lavender? There's was some tiny bits of chewy in there) *Red velvet (definitely my fave) *Sea salt caramel (was okay) *Margarita (probably one of my fave) *Rose (didn't taste anything rosy, just sweet) The shell was good. The ratio of the filling was good. The price (I'm okay with it. I wish they had a dozen promo or some sort.) Their store is IG worthy read more

I stumbled upon this cute macaron place when I was wandering around the Main Street area. It is right across the street from Literati. Right when you walk in, you get a feel for the clean, chic atmosphere. The employees are super friendly and they don't rush you to order. There are option to get them in a box of 6 but I chose to get 3 individual ones. There is such a wide variety of flavors that they rotate throughout the seasons. As for the macarons themselves, they are super light, sweet, and they don't crumble too quickly. At $2 a piece, I think it's worth it if you're in the mood to treat yourself! Also the background and decorations of the place make it very aesthetically appealing and good for pictures! read more

The adffogato with chocolate and almond ice cream. I highly recommend both flavors. My kids enjoyed the cookie monsters macron. A little on the pricey side but yummy all around. read more
Beautiful French coffee and Macaron shop that popped up about two months ago. Easy to find however you have to navigate the construction on Fourth, between Liberty and Washington. Small, bright shop with a small seating area. I haven't stayed yet but have opted for hot chocolate and two macarons to go. The cookies are $2 each and sinfully rich. You can order a beautiful gift box with your cookie order of 2, 5, or 10, for an extra dollar. The cookies are so beautiful, the box shows them off and would make a fantastic fresh gift. Inventive rotating flavors has me visiting to try different ones each week. It's a nice treat w a hot beverage when you need a quick break. So glad Le Bon has joined Ann Arbor's downtown. read more

Cute spot, 4 macarons were 8 bucks. We ate them inside. 1 of the macarons was frozen still in the center but still good. I really like their macarons as most are too sugary for my taste, but they make theirs just right. They also have a wonderful selection of coffees teas and affogatos.. the staff are very friendly and informative, the inside is very clean and cute. read more

We love Le Bon Macaron! We love the name, the chandeliers, the immaculately clean dining area but above all else....we love the macarons!! They are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They are flavorful and delicate. They are everything a macaron should be. She offers such unique flavors. We purchased 6 flavors and a lavender latte. The latte had a great, bold lavender flavor and was made wonderfully smooth. I'm also delighted that they are so close to a parking structure (4th & Washington). This is also very close to the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum. I can see us stopping every time on our way to the museum. They are also just two stores down from Literati bookstore. It would be delightful to snack on macarons while perusing their bookstore. read more

Excellent ambiance, friendly service, and delicious macarons! We tried six flavors and loved them all. My favorite was the violet, and my boyfriend loved the strawberry champagne. They were a little bit soft on the outside, but they were beautifully decorated and delicious. read more
This place is super fun. I wanted to try every flavor they had!!! My personal favorite was blue moon- crazy good. I also had the Italian soda strawberry flavored and loved it. I can't wait to go back and try even more favors next time I visit. Super cute interior and friendly and helpful employees. Overall a great experience! read more

The service was good. Packaging and branding was very nice. The more authentic flavors, pistachio, etc was really good. The texture was spot on. The less authentic such as the lucky charms and the rice krispy treat was super sweet. I'd try a few other combos again. Overall, good place. read more

Love coming here for a cup of tea and some macarons! They have amazing tea and macaron flavors. My favorite tea is the vanilla bean and my favorite macaron is the Rice Krispie. It's definitely not cheap, but macarons are such a delicate dessert to make I think they are worth the price. The store has a great atmosphere as well! read more

Really nice and bright interior, yummy tea and macarons, and Parisian vibe. The shop is tiny and really dainty but has lovely window seating and a couple of small tables and books where you would be able to read or have an afternoon tea with friends. Menu is on the pricier side with macarons at $2 each for a standard sized one but the macarons are great quality and have so many flavors (classic and also nonstandard) to choose from. read more

My friend said she didn't like macarons. I said it was because she hadn't had a good one yet! So we tried this place out. The interior is bright and beautiful. The staff was nice too. But these macarons were so average!! My friend and I wanted to taste the rose and the lemon raspberry. The rose flavor was underwhelming. The taste of butter was overpowering and almost nauseating! The lemon raspberry was okay. They were $2 each, so not too bad. But I don't think I'll be returning any time soon. And my friend still doesn't like macarons. read more

I'm a total snob for French macarons, and these were incredible. They were perfectly light and chewy, like a macaron should be. They might even rival La Duree in terms of quality! Their flavors are incredible. Each one I tried tasted EXACTLY like described (the cake batter tasted literally exactly like a vanilla cupcake). They also have a huge variety of flavors. They're a little pricey ($2/each), but macarons always are no matter where you go. HIGHLY recommend this place for definitely the best macarons in Ann Arbor, and some of the best I've ever had in general. read more
Every time I pass by a macaron shop, I have to stop by and try at least one of their macarons. At Le Bon Macaron, I got four, although, I could have easily gotten a dozen; they have so many unique flavors! My first time around, I got matcha, red velvet, mint chocolate, and Marie Antoinette's birthday cake. All were so fresh and gooey. I had to order mine to go because I was in a bit of a rush, which is unfortunate because the adorable details of the store captured my attention that I wish I could have eaten my macarons in there. But with the 20-ish flavors they have, I have plenty of excuses to stop by again and hopefully stay a bit longer. read more
I accidentally stumbled upon this cute macaron shop today. The ambiance is so feminine and relaxing. They offer a variety of macarons, with interesting flavors. I tried the peanut butter (to die for), chocolate and a salted caramel macaron. All three were delicious. So many shops offer macarons these days, but too many of them are flavorless and too sugary. These were perfection. read more

A beautiful store with lovely coffee and macaron choices. We got the pumpkin and salted caramel macaron which was a perfect match with strong macchiato, a nice balance with the decadence of the pastry. The cannelle miel (cinnamon honey) latte was very large had a nice and light taste with complemented the macarons. Also, the interior of the shop was beautifully decorated in a minimalist French design that was inviting and bright. I would come back again for the macarons and to enjoy the ambiance read more

Really good deal for really flavorful macarons! The mimosa flavor was really good and so was salted chocolate. The reason I deducted one star was because the lack luster hot chocolate. It tasted very watered down. My friend compared the drink to straight up milk. Really clean sitting space and very accommodating staff. Although the overall establishment is on the smaller side, the large windows and the neutral color scheme contribute to making the space seem larger. read more

I have been walking by this storefront all summer and just waiting for it to open. I was finally able to try it recently, and it exceeded my expectations! This adorably girlie shop is just what Ann Arbor needed to up the cute factor. I tried the champagne macaron (perfectly light and crisp with a creamy filling) and bought a candle that smells like heaven. I can't wait to go back to try more macaron favors and the specialty drinks. read more
