A great shop! The macarons are a true work of art. It's extremely clean as well. Make sure you sign up with your bday for a free bday macaron! Everyone is so nice here. There's barely ever a line.
I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I just don't love the macarons. The texture wasn't there and it felt like the macarons were sitting for a while. I also didn't love the flavors, they weren't coming thru or flavorful. The best one we had was the birthday cake but the other ones were disappointing. The space inside is nice though! Staff was nice too. Just wish the macarons were better.
Great variety of flavors! The flavors are also very distinct which is sometimes rare for macarons. Also their Thursday bogo free deal is unbeatable for the price- we got 24 macarons for $30 with their bogo.
Popped into this adorable storefront over the weekend because I saw they'd just opened! We got a 6 pack of Macarons. The employee encouraged us to sign up for rewards program and gave us a free additional macaron, and upon seeing that my boyfriend's birthday had just passed, he offered us a second free macaron! Service was wonderful, the macarons were delightful both in flavor and texture, and the store is so cute and clean! While I won't be indulging in macarons all the time, I would definitely come back if I was craving them. We got Early Grey Tea, Snickerdoodle, Birthday Cake, Coffee, Chocolate Strawberry, 2 Caramel, and one Black Raspberry Chocolate. The raspberry was my favorite of all of them, but I don't think there's a bad one in the bunch!
It's been a while since I was at Macaron Bar, and by "a while" I mean I'm pretty sure my first visit here was back before multiple macaron shops opened up across the city. Now it feels like there are multiple macaron bakeries in the city and surrounding neighborhoods. Disclaimer: I haven't gone out of my way to try each one of them (yet). That said, I liked what I sampled at this particular establishment. Macaron Bar itself isn't a Pittsburgh-specific business, but according to their website, they do work with nearby businesses when creating seasonal and local flavors in their different markets. They mention partnering with Millie's Homemade Ice Cream in Pittsburgh specifically, so now you know who is partially responsible for the ice cream sandwiches being sold here alongside the macarons! I say "partially" since it looks like Macaron Bar bakes the French-style cookies that contain the Millie's ice cream we all know and love. With their powers combined, tasty treats are made! As for the macarons themselves, there's a little bit of everything here. Classics like chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, and red velvet are available, but you should definitely try some of the other flavors they serve up! I'm a big fan of the amaretto cheesecake and black raspberry chocolate ones. And it's probably worth visiting throughout the year as well to see if any seasonal flavors have rotated onto the menu. Next time your sweet tooth strikes, this is definitely a place worth visiting to satisfy it; and you can also grab some coffee to wash everything down. Enjoy!
This place is good. We are here with all of the boys and we wanted some macaroons but it be closed.
Had a craving for something sweet and stumbled upon this joint. It is a huge place with macaron, coffee, and tea. We ordered the churro macaron and it was perfectly fluffy on the inside and crunch on the outside. It had a great churro flavor. Most of the macarons I've had in the past have a hint of flavor, but I loved that you could distinctly taste the churro in this one.
I'm a huge fan of this place. High ceilings with an all white layout. Perfect for all of your dessert IG pics. Prices here are reasonable and the macaroons are on point. My favorite flavors include lemon lavender, matcha green tea, pistachio, toasted coconut, red velvet and earl grey tea. The containers are great if you want 6 or 12 at a time. They do feature an info card in each box so it shows you which flavor. Even after 48 hours in the boxes the textures were still on point. Highly recommend this place if you want a nice variety of macaroons.
I stopped in here yesterday after work to redeem the Yelp week special, which was buy a 12 piece macaron box and get a 6 piece box for free. I got there around 3:30 PM and the store was empty. I was hoping it would be so I could take my time and look around without feeling rushed. I was quickly greeted by a sweet young man (I didn't catch his name). With the offer, you can pick whichever macarons you want; there are no certain flavors you have to choose from. There weren't many macarons out on the floor, but there are containers of macarons in their back refrigerator. Which looking around I noticed how clean the space is- literally and decoratively. The space is a lot of white with pops of color through, which I thought was a nice touch. They also have an open kitchen in the back, so I'm guessing they offer macaron making classes; which would be a fun thing to do! My experience in store was great. The guy helping me told me how long they can be out in room temperature (one day), in the fridge (a few days) and in the freezer (up to one month). He also included a flavor card so I'll know which flavor is which, once I get home. Naturally, I could not wait to try them so I had two yesterday evening. I tried the dark chocolate and the birthday cake one. They both were super light and chewy (in a good way) with just enough sweetness. They were so good! I will definitely be back here to fill my macaron cravings! Thanks to Yelp for highlighting this place to try out!
I came here craving something sweet, and the Macaron Bar did not disappoint! I decided to purchase a box of 6, and was slightly overwhelmed with choices. If I could, I would've bought one of each! Thankfully, I was given some insight on customer favorites and the seasonal flavors. I ended up choosing: salted caramel, chocolate strawberry, earl grey tea, lemon lavender, red velvet, and strawberry mint. I loved the feel of the space, with plenty of small tables for seating, colorful decor, and free wi-fi.
I recently placed an order to send to my friend for Mother's Day. I did all of this online. They were very good with notifying me when the item shipped. They arrived a day early for Mothers Day. The only odd thing to me was that they shipped out of Cincinnati, OH. Upon doing some research they do have store there also so that's probably why. My friend loved them! She said they were packaged real good with an ice pack. It's nice that the ordering process was super easy!
Literally the best macaroons I've ever tasted! Highly recommend this place. The service is always a wonderful experience!
Macarons are always pricy, so once you get over that sticker shock (e.g. $3 for one), you'll be pleasantly surprised by the variety and flavor of these finicky sweets. Having made macarons a few times, I'm happy to entrust an expert making them. The person working was very sweet and happily answered my question about where they're baked (Ohio). This shop is cute and well lit. Very modern. For $30, I got a 12 pack. The packaging is chic and modern. Most importantly, the macarons were delicious! You really can't go wrong flavor wise, though I loved the salted caramel and the toasted coconut. This is the perfect place for a thoughtful gift or a sweet treat. read more
Quick in and out ordering a 6 pack to share. Clean, white paint and bright colors, as well as an open kitchen that allows customers to see them baking and creating the cookies. I got the amaretto cheesecake, pumpkin, and blueberry chocolate. The flavors I picked were very good - although I would have liked to have more filling inside the sandwiches like I have gotten elsewhere. Overall nice place, friendly staff. read more

I was glad I finally had the opportunity to check out the new location of this business. The other location is at Ross Park Mall which is a kiosk. I had the opportunity to meet and interview Kyle the owner who told me about their projects for this location. They do offer baking classes that cost $95.00 for a 3 hour session. I was amazed by the fact that they are filling up quickly. With the class you get to make your own macaron and are given a box to take home. The business is now fully open and in addition to a large entry area before you approach the counter, they have a vast baking area in the back along with a coffee stand. The coffee they get comes from Lancaster and they are expanding the concept to include more baked goods. I was especially interested in trying out one of the ice cream sandwich macarons but Kyle told me that they had just baked the shells and needed time to cool down so they could be filled with Millie's ice cream located in nearby Shadyside. He did take the time to show me what the cooked shells of the sandwich looked like and they were inviting. He also told me that Ross Park Mall kiosk will soon be selling these ice cream sandwiches as well. The European meringue looked tempting but seemed a bit big for me to have for dessert. I settled for two holiday special macaroons-gingerbread and eggnog. Macarons sell for $2.50 each or you can get a small box of 6 for $13.00. Kyle gave me a card with all the regular flavors on it in case I wanted to order in the future. I ate both of them in the store. The eggnog was okay but I really loved the gingerbread. It is his vision to decorate the place since the walls are barren with various paintings, etc that will give a more homey feel to the business. We talked about the spring holidays (especially Passover) where macarons are most popular. He told me he never tried working with almonds but thanked me for my suggestion and will look into it. He thanked me for my holiday ideas and assured me that the next time I visit he would make sure I would get a macaron ice cream sandwich. The only reason they didn't have them ready today was that they were late preparing them. Macaron stores are starting to pop up more and more in the city. This one is a welcome addition to East Liberty. Located on Penn Ave near Target metered street parking is available on Penn or on one of the off streets. read more
The best is yet to come! This place isn't even finished yet & it's already knocking my socks off. All around impressed and thrilled that I can walk here from work (...could become dangerous). Fun flavors, extremely fresh, and coffee to go with it. I can't wait for the live edge tables to go up so I can work from here. Looking forward to seeing what else Kyle has planned, & for his baking classes! read more

The Macaron Bar is a delightful easy to find little place on Penn avenue. I had been waiting months for this place to open. When you enter the building is nice and bright with white walls and a pop of color from the macaroons and the fun colorful balloon bulbs on the ceiling. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the process and flavor components of the macarons. I opted to buy 12 macarons in the $25 box. They have every flavor imaginable but my favorites were the toasted coconut and pistachio with the chocolate strawberry or birthday cake a close 3rd. It's going on 4 days later and they have kept just "ok" in the refrigerator. I recommend eating as soon as you buy them because the texture starts 2 fade fast. The packaging allows for them to crack as well which takes away the fun of eating a macaron. They also sell the cookie shells (meringues) for $3 in dozen bags once they've been cracked. It's a steal for the flavor they contain. read more

I have been to this fantastic establishment three times and each time I was not disappointed. My favorite flavors are coconut and lavender lemon. Not only do these little cuties taste great, they make for an adorable instagram post. I got 6 in hopes of splitting them up through out my day but ended up eating them all in one sitting! I love the crisp and clean design of this place. The staff was very nice and told us the best way to store uneaten macarons (although that was unnecessary information since I chomped all mine down at once). Great place and I will definitely go back. read more

My daughter and I attended the Beginner Macaron Class. The class was held in the bright and spacious Penn Avenue location. The class was perfectly paced and both informative and fun! The class size was perfect and allowed for plenty of individual assistance. We worked in teams of two and were provided with step by step instructions which were supplemented with plenty of advice and tips from the instructor. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun and made me excited to get home and bake batches of macarons! I highly recommend!!! read more
Came here as I had a free drink with my coffee passport. I had a latte. They only had almond milk which I feel did make my latte taste a bit different than I am used to. I got two raspberry heart macarons and a churro macaron. The churro one was interesting as it had a cinnamon sugar filling. The raspberry macarons were yummy as well but the filling did have a bit of an artificial aftertaste. The two heart macarons were $6, so definitely on the pricier side. There is plenty of seating, which I was not expecting! read more

My mom and I took a macaron baking class here this morning and I highly recommend it if you are an avid baker! They greeted us with complimentary coffee and water and took the time to explain the entire process. The class was 3 hours long and we went home with 4 boxes of 4 different types of macarons. The owner Kyle was super nice and knowledgeable. Not to mention the product is beautiful and delicious! read more

This is an exceptional place for macaroons. I think the 'bar' is very well coined as every flavor gets your hooked and longing for more. Would return here again. read more

I bought some macarons from this place. It's tasted pretty good but it's a little pricey. Then again macarons are kinda pricey. I bought 6 for $13. Top to bottom: cheesecake, green tea match, coffee, dark chocolate, birthday cake, and earl grey. The staff seemed pretty nice. The cashier told me that his favorite is earl grey which was pretty good. read more
