Cute!!!! Macaroons were ok. Very busy!! You can purchase macaroons individual or by the box of 5 or 10. They have a lot of flavors ...5 didn't fit in the box for 5 so if you're thinking gift make sure your macaroons fit. Pretty colors. Decent staff nothing stood out much. They sell cracked macaroons at the register for much cheaper. Almost $3 for one $12 for 5 I think 23 for 10.

This was the first time going here and I would have totally missed it had it not been for a run to the bank next door. My first taste of a macaron was at recent Taste Of Minnesota and I was hooked. This shop is in the strip mall on Baltimore in Blaine Minnesota. Super cute shop. Very bright and colorful. Service was spectacular! As this was my first visit here they explained the pricing on all the macarons and even pointed out that they had slightly damaged Macarons at a discounted price. There were several different flavors to choose from as well as some ice cream treats in the shop. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. They take cash and cards for payment. Will definitely be back!

Really cute store that's eye-catching in the mall. We got a box of 5 for $13 and tried caramel vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate brownie, lemon and fudge flavors, with none of them really standing out or blowing my mind. It seemed like a number of the cookies were made days prior as they were really dry and cracked easily, they lacked the chew macarons should have and the feet were uneven. If you're visiting MOA as an out of towner and need macarons, then sure, try them. But if you live in the metro area, there are better options that don't require a trip to the mall.

Peanut butter, raspberry, fudge, vanilla caramel, cotton candy

I've only tried the vanilla caramel (too sweet) and the fudge (tastes like food dye) so far. On separate days. And got instant abdominal pain both times. They aren't tasty enough for me to risk trying more. My daughter wants me to add that she likes them, but she also got a stomachache from them so...

I prefer Cameroons

Not to be confused with Cameroons, which are people from a little, adorable, friendly country in West Africa. This is a cute little expensive macaron shop inside the Mall of America. I'm not sure why they have such low ratings cuz they're actually pretty good. The woman running the place is super adorable and very pretty with her gorgeous bright pink hair. At least she had it when I came in here. They're not the best macarons. But the last few World Cups haven't been the best for Cameroons, so.

All the beautiful choices

Adorable shop! Seriously this place makes you want to come in. We got a small, which is 5 macarons for $13. They look DELICIOUS, but not the best tasting. I can say this is more of an experience and you have to stop to support the winner from The Food Network, but not a fan of the fillings. Overall, glad we came but none of the flavors really meet our expectations.

Indulgence can be amazing or ordinary depending on the flavors and your personal preference. They have a ton of choices(see pics). I had the pistachio, mint and then I had the s'mores. Sinking my teeth into the s'mores meringue with the smooth center filing was an out of body experience. In that instant nothing else existed except my sensory perception of this macaron. Then it passes - I'm back in the mall of America. But in that passing moment- it was Sublime!

Glad they're educating people on the difference!!

Nice little macaron shop located inside the Mall of America. I'm an avid macaron lover so I just had to stop by when I saw it. Everything looked so good, and I don't think you can really go wrong with any of their flavors. They do have a small selection of crushed and broken macarons near the register that can be purchased for $5 per bag. You really can't beat that deal if you're buying it for your own consumption!

It's been years since I've had a bakery/macaron shop macarons. I was excited to try they're macs and my expectations were high because I thought I was finally getting some macarons made by a professional baker (I ate homemade macs for 2 yrs). The macs were cute and insta worthy, but they're all looks, no substance. I felt very disappointed because they're too crunchy and hallow. The shells didn't taste matured and they didn't absorb the flavors of the fillings. They overly sweet and the shells didn't have that hint taste of almonds (from the almond flour). I was really sad as a macaron lover. I think I'll continue to eat my homemade macs for now, but will still continue to hunt for the best macaron shops.

Beautifully colored macarons with unique flavors at MOA.

Stopped by here a couple weekends ago when at the mall. There was a line going out the store which was intriguing, so we thought we would give it a try. The beautiful colors and unique flavors kept me in. I ordered a passion fruit macaron and my girlfriend got root beer. They were the perfect macaron consistency, which is a slight crunch when you bite into it, and then followed by a soft inner layer of the shell, and of course the lovely creme center. My only concern was I barely tasted passion fruit, and Emmy barely tasted root beer. Very subtle at the end of eating the actual macaron. If it had a little more flavor to it it would be perfect!

Meh. I normally love Macarons and try them whenever I can across the country. These were just maybe average. The employees are not quick to provide service and everyone in the store was grumpy. Kind of a let down for a place that's called Macarons.

Howard L.

I wanted to give this store a try because it was something new and it was unordinary. They had a variety of flavors which all seemed cool and all. The price is definitely not worth the product by far. It was like eating a micro waffer cookie but barely having any flavor. My girlfriend that brought me here liked this place. Staff was definitely nice though for the most part but that's about it.

Honey Lavender
Kamrin D.

I love Macarons, so when my sister was visiting I couldn't wait for her to try some. We were at MOA and saw this place and the Macarons looked beautiful so we stopped in. My sister got the chocolate brownie and honey lavender and I opted for just chocolate. The Macarons, like most things in MOA were very overpriced. I was hoping the Macarons would be worth it, but sadly they didn't meet mine or my sisters expectations. The texture seemed off and they were a bit too hard/dry. They were overly sweet and the flavors were pretty subtle and not what you would expect by the overly bright and bold outward appearance. It's a cute shop, but there are many other places that I feel have better flavor/texture for a much better price.

The croissant was beautiful and had a nice crispy crust but soft inside. The quiche was also delicious and was served with a small side salad. The quiche is cooked a bit less than others I've had, giving it more of a slight jiggly texture. I thought it was great! The parfait bowl was topped with seeds, fruit, and nuts, providing a really lovely texture. The yogurt was super flavorful too! Both drinks were tasty but especially my daughter's hot chocolate! So rich!! We will definitely be back soon to enjoy more of their baked goods and other delights!

Cupcake is located in a large plaza. You can't miss the signage of a huge cupcake in blue and pink. I parked in one of the curbside pickup spots. I was picking up a takeout order and felt that it was fine. While waiting for a nice woman to fetch my order, I was looking at the desserts. This place has ice cream, macarons, and lots of baked goods. The chocolate croissant caught my attention. I knew that I needed to get one. When the woman returned with my Mason Jar Kitchen order, I asked if I could get the chocolate croissant. Yes! She got me one and placed it in a paper bag. I paid with a credit card. I also managed to include a tip. It was straightforward. I thanked the woman and headed back to the hotel to have lunch. I had the chocolate croissant as an afternoon snack. The croissant was okay. It was buttery, but it wasn't as flaky has I had hoped. It was more dense like a paperweight. I wanted flaky and airy. The chocolate was yummy. I prefer dark chocolate and loved it. I feel the need to go back and consume more items. The cakes and cheesecakes looked yummy. I was too early to take advantage of 50% off all pastries after 3 pm. I need to come back after this time and see if I can find a pastry that wows me. (459)

The selection is large, and they are contantly replenishing the shelves with fresh-baked goods. A lot of those are on the pricey side, which might contribute to a bougie reputation for this chain. But the items on the drink menu are much more reasonable. I had a matcha lemonade that was just okay; I don't think I'd order it again because you can't really mix it the way they serve it to you. But they have a whole bunch of interesting coffee and tea options. I also had a hot item that was pretty good. They have a heater that looks like something from a convenience store, and there are hot offerings in there like the flatbread-esque thing I had. It did actually taste quite good, but I think if they are serious about hot items they could manage a better presentation. There are compelling selections in that little box. The pastries I bought were absolutely delicious. Again kind of pricey, but the quality is immediately noticeable and I will 100% be back for some of those things. And I'll probably try some coffees & teas in the future.

I would recommend the matcha. They are usually really busy so they aren't too friendly but they keep things moving. They do take the time to wrap up your pastries for you. I usually just grab my stuff to go since seating is limited when it's busy. It's a great spot to stop in for a sweet treat or quick snack throughout the day.

Contrary, coming into the intimate home shop in Saint Paul hit different. As a Saint Paul girly, I absolutely adore small businesses. Marc Heu has a great location across from the co-op on Dale. Due to the pastry lineup altering so frequently, there are no signs detailing the pastry product so there is definitely interaction with staff members to ensure you are getting what you want. The staff is attentive, dressed in uniform and ready to take orders with a note pad upon arrival. Fortunately both days I have went, there were no lines but I also understand lines are common here which is something to be aware of. Inside there are small circular tables to enjoy your pastry and or coffee in. I would not recommend bringing a laptop as this is a tiny shop with an emphasis on eating, mingling and departing. Other reviews will dink stars because they will say the pricing is high however, I think, the pricing is reasonable giving the high quality of baking effort and the quality of service provided. In addition, this is not a spot to come 24/7, rather, special moments such as a birthday, holiday or celebration. With that, I feel like the price is justified. Line or not - the pasty variety is outstanding! My husband and I had a donut with a spiced icing and some other filling and every bite we kept saying yum or oh my gosh this is so good. Inspired from France, you will 100% feel transported as the shop itself resembles France from the interior and obviously the baking follows suit. The display case is the center of attention when you walk in. I highly recommend stopping when in Saint Paul or purchasing at a coffee shop should you happen to see the line of Marc Heu. There are a few other stores in the area, otherwise, Grand Avenue is right up the road should you want to make a day of supporting local. Saint Paul is so lucky to have a slice of France in our city. Thank you!

Truthfully, I was on the hunt for a bathroom, but was more than willing to grab a sweet treat while we were there. I had already peeked at what people were enjoying out on the patio, and on such a perfect spring day, it was hard to pass up. We ended up trying a few macarons. They were beautifully displayed and there were so many flavors to choose from. We had a family dinner later that day, so they felt like a great option to bring along. We stopped in closer to 1pm so I'm guessing the selection of donuts and cakes was a bit picked over compared to the morning hours. That said, they still have a good variety and I would definitely go back earlier in the day to try one of those donuts! We had a few questions about how the macarons would hold up in a warmer car, and the employee helping us was happy to answer everything. It seemed like the owner was there as well and heading out for the day. She was very kind, especially to let us use the bathroom.
