Stopped by Bow market for some macarons at Maca and was super happy I did. They have a decent selection - we couldn't decide which ones to get! The shop is small and there was a line but it went by fast and the person at the register was super friendly. They have a couple of tables dedicated to Maca guests right outside. My favorite was the lemon and the funfetti was pretty good too. They are refrigerated so it makes sense to let them drop to room temperature before eating them. Either way they taste good! Definitely recommend you check this place out! You won't be disappointed! read more

I can't believe I haven't tried Maca sooner! I ordered a surprise me assortment box and the goodnight fatty collab. Wow they are perfect. I only got to try the lavender honey from the assortment box. The macaron was delicious and so perfectly chewy. The McFatty is an amazing creation. The cookie dough is a salty complement to the cookies and cream macaron. I am looking forward to checking out the storefront soon. ANDDDD they sell advent calendars! 12 or 24 days of delicious macas. Add to cart. read more

maca - Two "surprise me" maca assortments (cakes from blackbird bakery) - Macarons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Maca is located in Somerville, Boston. I was in the neighborhood for a restaurant review and stumbled upon this incredibly cute place. The store is very small and is decorated with cute little things. The macarons we ordered were good but I wasn't a big fan of mochi. We ordered 3 macarons and my favorite was red velvet for sure. I liked the macarons for they were well balanced in taste and texture. Mochi did not stand out for me. It definitely lacked taste. The service was ok. It seemed the lady behind the counter hadn't smiled in a long time. I truly wish I could give this place 5/5. read more

I ordered custom macaroons for a bachelorette party in Somerville. It was super last minute but she allowed me to order with the expedited fee and they were perfect!

Good macarons, but wait until they warm up!! The tiny shop is full of interesting and creative macaron flavors, and I was greeted with a smile and lots of explanations about the options! In the end I opted for the mega-size MacFatty, filled with a an edible cookies n cream cookie dough. At first bite, the macaron was just okay - the filling was amazing, but the macaron was just a bit too chewy in the mouth for me, and didn't taste super fresh. I stuck the other half in my pocket and continued on with my day. Later, I tried the rest of the macaron and it was amazing - exactly the texture I was hoping for. The other thing you notice when you walk in the shop is how cold it is - I think they do this for the mochi and ice cream. The effect of the cold seems to be making the macarons too chewy. I would definitely come back to get macarons to take away, but would consider putting these by the fire pit to warm them up a little if you're eating in the market! read more

I've been obsessed with Maca for the last year+ after stumbling upon it's Instagram page. We happened to be within an hour and a half of Boston so we made the trip and it was SO worth it! First off, Bow Market is actually the cutest thing in the world! Around the corner from the street, and a former parking garage is now this lively local business hub of art and food and cute outdoor seating. Maca is front and center when you walk up. The QR code made it super easy to order and we got our macarons within 10 minutes. They were a perfect consistency, perfect chewiness, and the flavors were perfectly balanced! I got a red velvet, salted caramel, jasmine green tea, fruity pebbles, creme brûlée, and lavender honey all flavors were incredible!! The colors were so vibrant they were just fun to eat! Definitely recommend a stop at Maca! read more

The absolute best tasting, best looking, best texture, best EVERYTHING macarons I ever tried. I discovered Maca when the owner Tamy just moved into her Bow Market spot over a year ago. Her character macarons on Instagram caught my attention right away. Pokemon, animals, movies, unicorns, everything turned into a macaron. I was beyond excited to try one. And let me tell you....I knew on the first bite that I was hooked. The texture, soft with a slight chew. You knew they were fresh. Even the shop hit you with that fresh macaron smell. It was perfect. The flavor came through strongly. I wanted to try them all. And a year later, I've eaten a lot of them! Whenever I'm in Boston, I have to visit Maca. Not just because the owner is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, but her macarons truly cannot be skipped. Nothing can compare to them. For my birthday last year, I had a custom macaron crafted after my cat. I loved it! I ate it all while watching Game of Thrones haha. She also has an array of beverages, mochi ice cream, and other miscellaneous treats. There are cute items around the store for purchase! Without a doubt, visit Maca and try everything! read more

This place has the cutest and tastiest macarons. She makes them in the morning and sell it the day off, so tasty. One time I forgot it in the fridge for 3 days and it still tasted fabulous. LOL read more

I was exploring Bow Market one Saturday and stumbled across the cutest lil' macaron shop. It's a snug space that can only fit a few people at a time, but I think that adds to the allure. I ordered a box of twelve macarons with the following flavors: maple cream, cake batter, lavender honey, red velvet, strawberry cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, cookies & cream, and fest lager. The maple cream, lavender honey, and pumpkin cheesecake were my absolute favorites! Each macaron held up well, tasted fresh, and had an ample amount of filling. I liked that they were brimming with flavor without being super sweet. To top it all off, the macarons were packaged in a sturdy, cute box. I'm definitely ordering another box (or two!) the next time I visit Bow Market. I'm excited to see what other fun, unique flavors will be available then! read more

This is by far, one of the cutest shops I've ever been to. When you're looking for a cute twist with unique flavors for macarons, definitely head over to maca!! Tamy is super nice and helpful. I got the unicorn macaron (the filling reminded me of birthday cake) and two ice cream mochis. All were super delicious. There were also some interesting macaron flavors (like boba milk tea). I'm definitely coming back to try out more!! read more

Best Macarons I've ever had, hands down-no contest. Ordered online for my birthday month. They came within 3 days of ordering in great packaging and an ice pack. I ordered a sample of 12. The fruity pebbles and blood orange were by far my ultimate favorites but none of the others disappointed! They offer gluten and gluten free. Will be ordering again very soon and if I'm in the area will be sure to make a pit stop! read more

The CUTEST macarons ever made by the sweetest owner. It's a pretty small shop with no sitting room inside. But that's okay because there are lots of tables outside heh. Tamy is so good at what she does, and her designs change every so often. There's Pokémon ones, other animal ones, etc etc. Even the plain looking macarons are always perfect looking. My favorite was the blueberry limoncello! read more

Huge hit! I ordered 100 macarons. Each one perfectly gorgeous, beautiful color and of course delicious! Just as I asked for. I couldn't even get a picture of my macaron tower before my guests went for them. That's how popular they were. On top of that the communication, the ease of payment, and the expectation of what I ordered was on point. So easy. As a bride to be, I don't need any more added stress to my planning so I'm really really appreciative of Tamy! read more

I've been a big fan of Tamy and her macas for years now before she even had a storefront. The quality of her macas, attention to flavor and detail, customer service are all what keeps me coming back for more. I used to travel an hour and a half just to buy them and luckily now am closer. Also her store is so cute! I'm obsessed with hello kitty and all of her other decorations. read more

First, Tammy's customer service is ON POINT. I had discovered her business last minute and saw that she could make a macaron cake which I thought what a great idea!! I contacted her directly on IG and thankfully she was able to bake the cake for me for the next day. I also ordered regular macarons and cute character ones too. My friend absolutely loved everything and the flavors were fun and unique! The packaging for everything was lovely as well. I would highly recommend getting your macarons here!! Also, I found everything to be reasonably priced for macarons so it was definitely worth it! #supportsmallbusiness read more

Maca is by far my favorite spot for a sweet treat in Somerville. The macas are ALWAYS fresh and the flavors are a mix of classic plus intriguing. I've truly never had a flavor I didn't love. The store is close to my job and therefore I tend to make a stop often to pick up whatever is in rotation. The storefront is small, but don't underestimate its capacity. Ive ordered both custom macas for a business mailing and a large gathering. Lastly, Tamy is just so kind and accommodating. You can tell she has passion for what she does and that plus the awesome macas are why I continue to support her small business. read more

Note that online ordering is not immediate! Pay attention to their weird website. Everything was solid. I wasn't too thrilled by the service. read more

I finally made it to maca after drooling over their Instagram for ages. The trip to Somerville did not disappoint - the macarons are light, tasty, interesting flavors, and simply gorgeous.

I ordered a custom macaron order from maca recently, and I'm already truly obsessed with this place! The owner was incredibly sweet and responsive throughout the whole ordering process, helping make sure that my custom macarons (we had a logo printed onto the vanilla flavor) came out looking great. She was also super flexible in working with me to arrange a pickup time that worked with the holiday schedule, which was extremely appreciated. Exceptional customer service goes a long way in my book, and Tamy truly goes that extra mile to make sure all her customers come away delighted. In terms of the macarons themselves - they were wonderful! Terrific texture and perfect flavor (I'm a sucker for classic vanilla). They held up great, and I appreciated that the company's website advises to refrigerate or freeze the macarons until just before serving, which kept these guys in tip-top shape until it was time to dig in. We used these macarons as a prize for a family trivia event, and they were a big hit! I can't wait to try all the other flavors, and I would absolutely hit up maca again if I needed a fun treat for another special event! read more

Inquired online about a custom order, and received a message from Tammy right away! Tammy was very helpful from the beginning with suggesting flavors and designs that would match with our baby shower theme. The order even arrived a day early, the most difficult part was trying not to eat them all before the shower, lol! I was worried about having them shipped since it is summer, but Tammy made sure she packed the sweets with ice cooling packs. We ordered strawberry cheesecake and pistachio with gold leafs. They were a bit hit at shower and everyone kept raving about how delicious they were! Will definitely go here for future orders. Thank you Tammy, for baking us macarons for our special day. read more

maca - Avocado and toast (vanilla and chocolate), Squirtle (blueberry muffin), MacFatty (life changing cookie dough) - Macarons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Maca is part of the cool new Bow Market in Somerville, which features food vendors on the bottom floor and arts & crafts, vintage and other vendors on the upper floor. I tried one of Maca's available macaroons, blueberry-cheesecake-basil. It was well made, and tasty, although this particular combination of flavors didn't blow my mind. Will have to try others in the future. As far as Bow goes, there is plenty of patio seating to enjoy your snacks (in addition to macaroons there are pierogis, empanadas, bar pizza, seafood...), but most excitingly, you can bring your food into Remnant Brewery to enjoy with your beer (seating inside and in a chained off area in front and a private patio behind the brewery). Not sure if you can bring non-Bow Market food into Remnant, but there's no need with the fun selection available outside. Dogs are permitted in the back patio of Remnant too. Apparently, Bow's grand opening won't be until November (some vendors and still working on their spaces), but many vendors are already open. Just be sure to check their hours on the website, since it doesn't seem to be all day, every day, and varies between vendors. Maca and Bow Market are excellent additions to Somerville! read more

If you are in the area the macarons are decent, but not the best I ever had. The texture is off and it's quite expensive considering other macarons I have had in Boston. A single macaron is $3.25. If you order 3 the price is $9.00. We ordered pistachio, red velvet and passion fruit.The best one out of the bunch was pistachio. An authentic macaron should have a firm shell on the outside, but with a soft and slightly chewy texture when you bite into it. In my opinion Miam Miam Macaronerie and Finesse Pastries has the texture mastered. read more

maca - Passion Fruit, Pistachio and Red Velvet - Macarons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

These little bites are divine! Have had many macarons and these are one of the best I've had. Small batch style and I believe flavors are always rotating which is a big plus for me! Some were a little too soft as opposed to being chewy but I would take that over a slightly over baked one any day. The only downside is I don't live near there so I can't go there every day! I do have a couple negatives but these do not affect the rating (They are more suggestions ;) 1. Just make the macs an even $3 (maybe 28 on a dozen) 2. If the flavors are always changing/rotating I would recommend a daily post with a list of the flavors you can acquire on that particular day. This way if you have flavors one would want on that day they may be willing to travel if they know that flavor is available that day. read more

These macarons are truly unlike any others. I've gone near and far to try every macaron and nothing will EVER compare. I found Maca because of the cute characters but was totally blown away when tasting the flavors and texture. They're soft and chewy and don't fall apart like others, they have a bit of a crunch but aren't over baked and the best part is they aren't too sweet. A huge plus is that she bakes them fresh everyday and sells out so you know you're not getting a stale day old macaron like other places serve. It's also always so exciting having different flavors rotating and other options like the unicorn poop ice cream, mac fattys, maca rice krispy treats etc. She is always finding creative ways to make other treats. She's always open to suggestions too which is fun! Tamy is a one woman show from baking, creating flavors, and working open to close at her shop and she puts in a lot of effort not only to those but in making sure that she is serving top notch products. No matter where you're from it's worth the trip to Somerville, or keeping an eye on her pop up calendar. read more

Best macaroons, hands down. I've been trying to find some that match this place, and it hasn't happened. Fresh, flavorful... perfect!

I have been a loyal customer of Maca since I purchased a box of 12 macarons from a pop up Tamy did last year in Natick, MA. The reason I keep returning is because of her creativity in flavors and design. Sure...we all have our favorites like pistachio and vanilla but don't you want to try something like lavender honey, black sesame, or one of my personal favorites fruity pebbles? Her shop is small but adorable and so worth the trip if you can make it to Somerville. Since it's in Bow market you will have tons of other cute shops and local small business to support. read more

Absolutely delicious! My wife loves macarons and this place has the best assortment of flavors. We will definitely be back :)

Best macarons I've ever had BY FAR. I've had Ladureé and these blow them out of the water. The macfattys, s'mores AND peanut butter s'mores, fruity pebbles, cookies and cream, and unicorns are our favorite!! Unicorn poop is also BOMB. The last 2 years we've had Tamy make custom macas for my sons birthday parties and they're always a hit!! read more
