I went to Macaron Bar when they first opened their downtown location, but I went back for my bridal shower to get one of their macaron towers. It was beautifully done! The cookies themselves are always moist and delicious. Macarons are difficult to make well and they do a great job with their variety of flavors. The location is incredibly small so it is definitely somewhere you take the cookie to go (no dine in) but it's great for a quick snack.

The place to go for dessert! The macarons are delicious in every flavor if you want a little bit of sweetness to finish dinner. You can get a 6 piece pack or a 12 piece pack and can choose to have different flavors in the pack. The store itself is small and plain but does not take away from the macarons. The cashier was very nice and let us take time to choose the flavors we were interested in. Definitely not a packed place to enjoy a bit of sweetness on a cold day.

I'm sucker for Macarons. So after an epic dinner and drinks from Mesa Loca, we had to stop by and pay them a visit. Covid-19 rules- you are not allowed inside. Call ahead, they do not accept cash or walk up and someone will take your order. We ordered: Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Black Raspberry Chocolate Red Velvet Birthday Cake Pistachio 6 for $14.00 is not bad for someone who wants to satisfy their sweet tooth. I absolutely love their product. My personal faves is the birthday cake and pistachio. All are good but those two called to me. A must visit when in the Hyde Park area.

Many different colors of macaroons

This place is adorable with such good macaroons. I didn't know there was one in Hyde park so when I saw it I had to turn around and go in. It's such a cute, simple little shop. The macaroons are pretty colors with many different flavors. My favorite flavor has to be the chocolate raspberry, absolutely delicious. If you like macaroons head over tot he macaron bar.

Earl Grey Tea

Thought the macarons here were a little too sweet but the texture of them is just right. The flavors were there but the taste of sugar masked the light flavor of Earl Grey and even the stronger flavor of coffee. The Earl Grey macaron ended up tasting like a fruit loop and the color of it was also very artificial albeit pretty. The coffee one tasted a little more like what I was expecting but was still very sweet. I think this is the best macaron place in the area so if youre in the mood for something (very) sweet then this is the place for you but otherwise, the macarons are very mediocre.

I had to check out the Macaron Bar after dining in at the Dancing Roll. The joint is really clean and modern with sleek design. There's a little seating area where you can look out onto the very busy urban street when you've ordered your nom noms. The man who boxed our desserts was pretty cool. He was able to tell me where the macarons were made (Over the Rhine) and how fresh the batch I bought was (yesterday). He commented that he brings over a fresh batch to Kenwood and Hyde Park. That's pretty nifty. Now the gritty. As an American eating macarons, I think these little sweet treats are fantastic. There's lots of flavors to choose from. My favorite part? The feet are deliciously crispy and decadently chewy. My husband's favorite part? The macarons are bigger than the traditional one/two bite pieces were used to from tri-county (that's CT/NY/NJ!!). Of course my almost 2 year old was a fan. She loves the Earl Grey. I can't wait to stop by again. This location was pretty great!

View from the outside! Don't miss it!

The Macaron Bar in Hyde Park just opened and it is so cute! It's significantly smaller than the one in OTR, but that just makes it more charming. FYI there's only 5 seats, two inside and three outside. I have a feeling most people will end up coming here for macarons to go, which is a great gift idea (hint hint my birthday is coming up...) They have all the usual interesting flavors. I would especially recommend the pistachio (that's my fave). The macarons are all made fresh daily. Each macaron is $2, but for $5 you can get a macaron gelato ice cream sandwich (macaron + gelato, oh my!) They are partnering with Dojo Gelato (a Findlay market staple) to make these delicious ice cream sandwiches. We tried the pistachio one and I almost went back for another it was so good! This store also offers pour over coffee just like the one in OTR. Macaron Bar is a welcome addition to Hyde Park! I can't wait to come here regularly for a special treat!

So much color and beauty!  Pistachio is a good one and so is the lemon.

Macaron Bar is a frequent stop for me, especially after dinner at Dancing Roll next door. I love, love, love the macarons here. These delicate, almond-based cookies can be hard to make. Trust me; I have tried to make them many times at home. Macaron Bar has got it right--right amount of soft crispness and chew, on point cream in the middle. Some macarons have a buttercream in the middle that can be cloyingly sweet and buttery; not here. They even got the ever elusive pied! Macarons here are seriously up there with the ones that you can find at Laduree in Paris. My favorite flavors are the fruit ones like framboise. The presentation here is simple yet cool, and the service is top notch.

Excited for our macarons! Plus cute packaging :)

The macarons were amazing! The cream fillings were superb with each having its own very distinct flavor. I always love how macarons are both crunchy and soft at the same time, and Macaron Bar definitely delivered. The flavors: Pistachio: the pistachio flavor really pulled through wonderfully in the cream filling. It was not too powerful or too subtle either. The cookie was crunchy and the middle was soft. Overall, delicious! Green Tea: exactly what you'd expect from a green tea flavored macaron. Classic. The filling was smooth and creamy, the taste was just like eating green tea ice cream. Definitely hit the spot. Earl Grey: This was by far my favorite of the three. The complex flavors you find in a cup of earl grey tea really came out in the filling. It was well blended that you could tell you were eating an earl grey macaron. I've had some from other places in the past that felt lack luster. This may not be a flavor for everyone since Earl Grey tea isn't a flavor for everyone. But if your a tea fan like me, then i think this is definitely worth trying. Decor: very modern look. Classic macaron flair. Service: the guy who served us was great! Very patient with my indecisiveness on which flavors to choose while also being knowledgeable about their product. I asked which flavors were most popular and he said: Pistachio, Lemon, Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and a few others I forgot. I only tried the Pistachio out of the favorites b/c i'm a sucker for tea flavored things (hence green tea and earl grey above). Pricing: very typical pricing for macaron shops. Not cheap, but not overly expensive. Overall, loved my experience here, great macarons, will definitely come again to try more flavors :D

Grand opening in Hyde Park this weekend! Stopped in for a taste of one and left with 7. Love the fun flavors, colorful beauties, and of course how delicious the sweet treats are too! The cookie part is a nice almond meringue and the filling is soft and flavorful. The first bite has a slight crunch, which ends with flavor explosion. YUM! I'm enjoying the earl grey (surprisingly delicious!), pistachio, rose, blackcurrant, matcha, and I haven't gotten to the others yet but I expect them to be delicious too. Next time I stop in I'm definitely trying the gelato filled pistachio macaron. I imagine it's heavenly!!

A little bit of Paris in Cincinnati! I absolutely love this place it's so chic and clean LOL! I actually like the macaroons more in Cincinnati than I did in France. Sad I know. My favorite flavors are the vanilla, blackcurrant, strawberry mint which is seasonal unfortunately and the chocolate. The peach I was not a fan of nor the raspberry. Definitely go check this place out it's definitely an awesome find in Cincinnati and a great light dessert for any meal.

Earl Grey and Coconut macarons
Erica Z.

This place is SO GOOD. The macarons are beautiful on the inside and the outside--the shells were chewy and fillings were creamy. I got the Earl Grey and Coconut macarons, and would definitely recommend both. The Earl Grey tasted like authentic tea and not like artificial flavoring, and the Coconut one had toasted coconut on the top which was amazing.

See all

I had a chocolate croissant and a mocha coffee they were both fantastic. Marina suggested to warm up the croissant first which was a great idea because it really brought out the flavors. I didn't get into the array of gelatos that were on display but Marina showed me that they were the finest and I believe her. I would recommend Strada strongly to anyone thinking of sweets!

I finally made it there last week and it was so so gooood. I ordered the oatmeal creme pies because I wanted to try the real deal and it was so worth it.

I also got a dozen of the cake pops and my nephews ate almost all of them with a 24 hour period.

This year it was a combo of Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras -- so as you strolled through the Findlay Market complex, you could sample either savory Cajun-inspired dishes, or dessert-themed dishes. You had 2 choices for tickets, either 8 tickets or (I believe) 20 tickets for a higher price. I went with the maximum amount this time, so that I could just impulsively select the samples in front of me without having to ration out my choices. And strongly recommend this method -- it's a great way to throw yourself into the event and to donate to a great organization. And the gourmet made-from-scratch delicacies didn't disappoint. My top fives favorites were: the "Velvety Smooth Beef Burgundy" from Eckerlin meats -- a flavorful stew with fork-tender beef chunks in it, the "Mini Elote" street corn cob (actually half a cob, thus the "mini" part of the name), with a flavorful authentic sauce on top, the "Hogs & Kisses Baby Back Ribs" from Neil Luken Meats -- a huge chunk of ribs (he said he gave me a larger piece than usual to compensate for giving me the butt end of the rack, which I heartily appreciated), the Gumbo from Barlion's Seafood & Poultry, as the broth was amazing, and I loved the ample chunks of Andouille sausage popping up in the stew, and the "Muffaletta Sandwich Bites" from Harmony Plant Fare. Other favorites of mine were the "Bourbon Street Chicken with White Rice" from Artichoke (they had run out of the dish so we had to wait 5-10 minutes until they could make more -- it was worth the wait, as the chicken was plump and flavorful), the "Cocoa Smoothie topped with Strawberry" from the Banasun Smoothie Bar," which was refreshing and perfectly spiced, and the "chocolate Covered Bacon" from Ruby's Chocolates, which had caramel mixed into the chocolate and bacon (and, BTW, the bacon was from Eckerlin Meats, one of their neighbors). All of this, combined with great weather, a band playing jazz, great service, and Findlay Market's wonderful "street fair" atmosphere. Who could ask for more?

This place was better than most of the Markets that I've been to in recent memory! Some of them are bigger but this one is a medium-sized Market to say the least. They have great produce in one section by the parking. Great variety of stores. I do like the outdoor tables as well. The cons I will say about the Findlay Market are the parking. You are expected to download an app and pay for parking that way instead of just getting a QR code that will redirect you and put in your payment information and the other con is once you leave the Farmers Market there really isn't much to really see or do since it's kind of blighted from a 1 block radius of leaving the market
