There's space to wait for your order too- so if it's cold or raining, there's room for you. They're open 7a-7p which is great. It was busy when I ran in today around 12:45p on a Sunday and that's always a good sign. It looks clean and the drinks I saw looked appetizing. The food menu sounds fantastic. The guy who helped me with my order was super nice. But I actually went in there on the hunt for something specific. It's the 2nd time I went in since they moved to the space across the street from where they were. The first time I stopped in quickly and saw they had what I was looking for but very few so I didn't buy anything. l had done a very difficult and time intensive Google search for Macaron Cafe macarons. They wholesale out of NYC and they're the best macarons ever. There are probably 6-7 places in Ridgewood that sell macarons, some that make them fresh baked. And none are as good as the ones from Macaron Cafe. Pre-covid I could find them locally pretty easily. But now, it's really hard. Most of the places that sell them put up a menu of the flavors that's very easily identifiable, and they carry the full line. By googling a photo of the menu I was able to find them in Fort Lee and American Dream and those are both too far. I'd gone into every single place that sells macarons in downtown Ridgewood except RCC and none of them have them. I finally made it into Ridgewood when RCC is open (we usually end up in Ridgewood after dinner and they're closed) and imagine my joy in seeing the macarons there. I can tell it's them instantly. Except - they only have like eight of the flavors! They don't advertise them. They don't have the menu up either, so they only way I could tell there might be a chance of them being there was an old photo of their counter from Yelp or Google. So, I didn't have any drinks or food. I just bought some macarons. And I would've bought more except that they didn't really have the flavors I wanted. There are generally around 28-32 flavors and they change/add/take away every few months/holidays, etc. My knocking a star is ONLY for the lack of flavors of these amazing macarons and only having a tease amount of flavors of them. And they should advertise their baked goods/desserts better, like in photos on instagram. They don't post enough of all their food. I had to just take a chance and come in from an old photo. I know I don't want to have to drive to American Dream mall for these macarons. And I know the girls behind me in line today were talking about how they came in for tiramisu.

The matcha einspanner caught my eye, but unfortunately the flavors fell short for me. The barista making my drink appeared to be newer (another barista ended up taking over to finish the drink), and the drink itself tasted overly milky with not enough matcha flavor. Maybe it was the whipped cream, but it felt diluted overall. On the other hand, my husband's New Orleans iced coffee was good, and my friends enjoyed their other coffee drinks as well. Next time, I'll skip the matcha and just stick with coffee.

Food- I ordered the beef bacon, egg and cheese with lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. I was skeptical at first about putting all the extras on my breakfast sandwich (I'm from Brooklyn, NY IYKYK) The sandwich was good minus that my bacon was not fried hard. I never want to see any white when eating bacon. I should have told them but didn't think I had too. When I go back I will have it again with my bacon fried hard. I am not a coffee drinker but I'm a tea girl so the owner let me try a tea that tastes like coffee and it was delicious so I ordered one. 10/10. I ordered a green tea and ginger with fresh mint refresher for the road and it was a 10/10. The owner let us try his tuna which was good. We also got to try his mango pineapple sorbet 10/10!! Service - 10/10! It was VIP treatment the entire time. From the moment we walked in we were treated like family. If there was anything we had an issue with the owner was willing to correct it right away. He wanted our honest opinion on everything we tried and I love that! His staff was super sweet. Ambiance- Feels like you're stepping into a living room at your cousin's house. Loved the at home vibe with different types of seating options. I was there for a couple hours because I also needed a place to work. Perfect atmosphere for me and I got so much work done. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes and teas! This may just be my new spot to get some work done before heading to the office.
