I picked up a set of 6 macaroons from Grace Cakes Sweet Shoppe at the 2nd Mother's Day Market at…read morethe Mid Tn Expo Center on Saturday, May 11, 2024. I went near the end of the event so flavor choices were limited (good for them for selling out!). I ordered only the earl grey and some milky-flavored one. The macaroons had good flavors and not too sweet. The texture was a bit chewy, which was okay since I like my macaroons to have a little bite and not taste like a crumbly cookie. The filling in the middle was definitely more generous than most macaroons. So they looked like triple stuffed Oreos. They looked very pretty that my camera couldn't take a "bite" before I finished them, otherwise I would have posted a pic with the review! Service was great. The macaroons were packaged neatly in a nice box. Apple Pay was accepted, which is always a plus for convenience. The people were very friendly and answered my questions about their business.

We try macarons everywhere we travel because they've become one of those little traditions my…read moredaughter and I share together. They're one of our favorite treats, so whenever we visit somewhere new, finding a macaron spot is always high on our list. Out of all the places we've tried, this one truly stood out to us in such a special way. From the very first visit, everything felt warm and welcoming. The woman helping us was incredibly kind, informative, and genuinely passionate about what she was serving. She took the time to explain flavors, answer questions, and make us feel comfortable rather than rushed. What made the experience even more memorable was that she actually remembered us every time we came back, which added such a personal touch that you just don't find often anymore. My daughter loved this place so much that she asked to come back every single night during our trip, and honestly, I completely understood why. We originally stopped in simply wanting to try something new before heading back to our hotel, but it quickly became one of the highlights of our evenings. The atmosphere, the kindness, and of course the delicious macarons made it feel like more than just grabbing dessert. Sometimes the places that leave the biggest impression aren't the ones you plan your whole trip around, but the ones that make you feel welcomed and create memories you'll talk about long after you leave. This was absolutely one of those places for us, and it's somewhere we'll genuinely look forward to visiting again in the future.

I'll start by saying I ordered the white hot chocolate and squirrel cheesecake to go because we…read morewere wandering around town sightseeing. Staff was friendly. There were a lot of options as far as flavors, sizes, toppings, etc. I stuck with a 12 oz white hot chocolate with whipped cream. Now the white hot chocolate was fantastic. It was real white chocolate and it was a nice bit of sweetness. But the cheesecake was unfortunately disappointing. I don't know if it was over baked or over beaten or what but it had a rubbery jello like texture that's not appealing in the mouth when expecting something different. I could only have two bites before giving up on the $9 slice. I'm torn on this review. And this is because I was so excited and hopeful to try the cute hot chocolate place with desserts that I wanted to love it. But was so disappointed with my dessert. The hot chocolate was fantastic and that being their key thing is what I would try again. But I'd probably never reorder a baked dessert from them as they are not necessarily cheap and I wouldn't want to be disappointed when there are other treat options around the area. The space itself is mountainy fun candy cottage vibe. Serves the purpose of having somewhere to enjoy the treats you've ordered inside.

They all looked so delicious! The lady at the stand had a few samples to try: the honey lavender & the raspberry. Both so good! Looking down at the case, I decided to take a box home with me. I got 6 flavors for about $16, including tax. Honey lavender, cookies & cream, love rocks (has pop rocks in the center), blueberry cheesecake, raspberry, and pistachio. My favorite was a tie between raspberry & blueberry cheesecake. And I definitely recommend trying the honey lavender, it's spot on. Great flavors, great texture.
