I was met with a VERY nice woman who explained everything out to me! 11/10 on costumer service!! Truly, this is some of the best costumer service I have had in awhile! I picked out 8 flavors and a candle. They have a small selection of other items besides the macarons. There are 2 tables inside for sitting down to snack with 2 chairs at each table. Don't make a rookie mistake like me! These are refrigerated when you first get them. Let them come to room temp before you eat them! I had some of them right away and while they did taste good, they were REALLY good when they were room temp. These are delicate and delicious! These are definitely some of the best I have ever had! My top 3 flavors I enjoyed were: 1) Blueberry cheesecake 2) Almond 3) Raspberry I also got a soy candle and it is the perfect fall scent! Can't wait to burn it later in the year! These would make a great gift as well as a treat for yourself!

The vibe is similar to the OG bakery in Coon Rapids. Very clean, simply decor that makes you feel welcome. We caught the place during a quiet lull so we have fast customer service. I picked out a 5- piece box of macarons. You pick the flavors to fill the box. Plenty of options to choose from. I loved the color coordination on the display case. I also picked out an oreo cupcake and oatmeal cheesecake cup. I haven't met a dessert by Maddie Lu that I haven't liked. Can't wait to try the macarons! Happy to have you in the area.

You can also buy the macarons individually for $2.50 or 10 macarons for $24. They also have cupcakes too. They can also be found on DoorDash, but you can't select your flavors, though I suppose you could put it in the special instruction, so I decided to just stop by the store. When I first arrived, I was greeted and serviced immediately. The staff member was patient as I took a moment to decide which flavors. I also noticed they have some unique design macarons that look like a shark but in a vanilla flavor. The store is clean and has simple decor. It looks like they have a backdrop for a photo op. I felt very welcome in the store. I used to do subscription macarons, but it became pricey. I much prefer Macarons by Maddie Lu due to the flavor options, being able to obtain them locally, and I can choose the amount of macarons to have. They are very delicious, smell good, and have a nice crunch when you bite them. The raspberry cheesecake cookie was soft even after refrigeration for a few hours - I split and shared the cookie with my husband and it cut easily even after being in the fridge.

I absolutely loved how the shimmer and star embellishments turned out! I ordered 3 flavors: strawberry yuzu, Dubai chocolate, and gochujang caramel.

The strawberry yuzu had a nice tart filling that complemented the strawberry cream. Absolutely thrilled with how the macarons turned out and would definitely work with Jolynn again!

A friend and I took The Abundant Kitchen's macaron cooking class & had a great experience. AK's…read moreowner provided a prep demo to go over the recipe & provided many do's and do not's she had either learned by experience, or from local macaron business owners in the twin cities. The demo was very helpful before we broke in to groups and tried it out for ourselves. Due to this class' popularity - the group sizes were a bit larger (we had 5). Although we all found tasks to divvy up, we did feel bad that most didn't get to really try out all the steps of making this high-maintenance cookie to really get hands-on experience. Becki, our instructor & AK owner, was very interactive and helpful throughout the whole class. She provided good tips and tricks & created a fun environment, encouraging & fostering great group interaction. During the baking time we took a brief "shopping break" to explore the store. Becki has so many practical, high-quality cooking items it is a great store. You could find absolutely anything you could possibly need in your kitchen! Back to class, Becki had prepped the buttercream for us to fill the cookies. She went over different combinations we could try with jelly fillings & then we got to try our hand at filling. We only wished we had remembered to ask a few questions about making the buttercream, since we didn't get to mix this up during the baking phase & gain hands-on experience. We are always so impressed with the variety of classes Becki offers, her passion for cooking, & we loved the great environment she fostered during the class. The members of the class were from all over the metro, proving it really is worth "the drive" to Buffalo if this is not a close location for you. AK's Facebook page and website are updated frequently to keep you in-the-know on all upcoming events. Time flies by during class! But you leave with a good experience, tactical skills, a recipe card, and for this class we each took home ~10 macarons. Bon appetit!

The "Abundant" Kitchen feels like a bit of a misnomer. This place is pretty new and pretty…read moresmall-time in a small town. As such, I suspect it's still working out some kinks. I attended a demo course which was advertised as such (although we were promised that "every student will get a chance to volunteer in front of the class for a portion of the recipe," which--maybe thankfully if you've tried my cooking--didn't really happen), and while I had a decent enough time, there were moments that felt off. At one point, I asked if I could take an extra baked good for a friend who wasn't able to join me, and I was chastised harshly, like I was a naughty child. Okay, no worries, but really? Was there no other way that could have been expressed? "Sorry, we sell the extras" or "we like to donate the leftovers to the poor." Nope, it was "you may have ONE!" Wow. So much for abundance? Still, kinks aside, I suspect this will be nice addition to a small downtown that seems to be attempting to revitalize itself. (Although I fear that, in expressing my opinion, I will once again incur wrath.)
