This used to be a Le Macaron chain, but it's now locally owned and operated at Sugar Bar. Nate and I stopped in before a show for a sweet treat. They have chocolates, bon bons, gelato, coffee drinks, and more. We ordered two of the cookie sandwiches, which we were told are made daily by a local pastry chef. The blueberry cookie was my favorite - it was soft and full of blueberries. The passionfruit one wasn't as flavorful. The buttercream frosting was super sweet, so we probably could have split one and been happy. I love that they have gelato flights! I didn't see any pricing posted for the treats when we visited, but the total was just over $10 for the two cookie sandwiches. They are handmade (vs. frozen and shipped in) so that makes sense. The employee helping us was super sweet and friendly, which I appreciated. The space is cute with ample seating to enjoy your treats, and they have an Instagrammable photo wall. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, so I don't see myself coming here too often, but it's a nice spot for a date or dessert. read more

Beautiful chocolates, decent Gelato. Theres some pretty amazing shakes advertised, but when I went they were out of some of the ingredients ( cheesecake strawberries etc) . I came late in the afternoon on labor day, so its to be expected that some stuff would have been sold out. Its across from the art museum and a cool little park. read more

If you're looking for a dessert that doubles as a showstopper, this is it! I stopped in for a sweet treat and left with a full-blown dessert masterpiece that was almost too pretty to eat... almost! I asked if they could make a Strawberry Cheesecake shake (not even on the menu!) and they said yes without hesitation, seriously amazing staff! What I got was a pink, creamy dream topped with a raspberry-filled cupcake (yes, an actual cupcake!), a fluffy macaron, sour gummies, a cherry-red gumball, Twizzlers, and strawberry Pocky sticks. The sprinkle-coated rim just took it over the top. It was childhood joy + gourmet indulgence all in one. My friend had the Lemon Love shake: zesty, bright, and topped with lemon cake, candies, and a green macaron. Both shakes were $18 each, and while that's definitely a splurge, the presentation, flavor, and FUN made it so worth it. The vibe? ADORABLE. Think soft pink and white feather-covered walls, a cheerful mural, a cozy little table with fresh flowers, and a glowing sign that says "you are beautiful." Total Instagram heaven! The feather chandelier was the cherry on top. The staff was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely creative, it made the whole experience feel extra special. If you're in downtown Grand Rapids and want a treat that's just as fabulous as it is delicious, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Pretty solid spot for sweets in downtown GR. Only had macrons which were ok, flavors were a little muted. They also had a number of chocolates, pastries and gelato which I didn't sample, maybe next time read more

What a delightful little French Patisserie. The macarons are fabulous! They have the traditional flavors as well as some fun new flavors to try. We had 6 macarons: ginger (SO full of ginger flavor), pistachio, Belgium chocolate, vanilla, and birthday cake. We also purchased a couple pieces of dark chocolate pretzel bark. The bark base was very good; but the pretzels were a little soft and chewy, not the crunch one would expect. I don't remember the young lady's name who helped us, but she was lovely / very friendly and knowledgeable about what they serve. (Sorry, forgot to take pics!) read more

A fun Parisian inspired shoppe with gelato, homemade cookies and candies. They have delicious espresso to cut the sweets. Love the decor inside. Many fun spots for selfies. We had the gelato flight which was a fun way to sample 4 different types of gelato for just $9. Great location in the heart of the action on Monroe Center right across from Rosa Parks Circle. Definitely recommend y'all check it out. Cheers! read more

Very good macrons when they were at the Christmas market in downtown Grand Rapids. Very flavorful.

The lemon blueberry and maple pecan macarons were deliciously wonderful treats. The flavor of both exploded in my mouth. The macarons had a shinny shell with a soft crunch and smooth filling. Beautiful presentation and caring customer service. read more

The variety of the flavor of the macarons were incredible as well as gelato. I bought a 12 pack of the macarons for my daughter. And it was so hard to choose because there are way more than 12 flavors. the lady behind the counter gave me great instructions on how to store them. I also purchased a giant pistachio macaroon filled with raspberries that tasted absolutely amazing. The decor in the store was also super cute. I would definitely visit again next time I am in town. read more
