My, oh, my. Don't you have a Sweet Box? *giggle* https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=af9xe4lMULS-OWblJMXrnw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA After taking a macaron-making class at "The Gourmandise School" in Santa Monica almost a decade ago, I've grown to appreciate those tasty lil' buggers. After seeing Snowfox close up, to be replaced by Sweet Box, macaron hunger pangs engulfed me, awaiting Sweet Box to open. Macarons have 2 distinctions - regular & special. Naturally, I had to go for special macarons, if only because they're too cute. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aSVGzCYXY_smSmrPheDIng&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Cocoa & nutella macarons- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-ZhLGUWgjaeVZS-8f-SN7Q&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA I highly enjoyed these macarons, moreso cocoa. They both had a good amount of filling, with the macarons having a little bite to them. Not too sweet, either. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YzfvWOQ8dg82Yydr255yHw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The young woman behind the counter was busy decorating a fresh batch of macarons out of the oven, but quickly assisted me with my order. The macarons are allowed to cool, then individually wrapped, to save for later or to give away. Sweet Box is located in front of the food court at Los Cerritos Center. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-UzQYjLzVrR865uI9wfjrw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Call me the Macaron Mack Daddy, for I love me some macarons! Sweet Box has a box of awesomeness awaiting you. Their macarons are the real deal, and since I haven't visited in awhile, methinks I need to gift myself a box, sooner rather than later. Highly recommend!

Sweet Box cookie booth at Cerritos Mall next to the food court

This place is not welcoming to Black people. I have purchased here several times and never have I received a welcoming greeting. With the political and social climate that we are currently experiencing, I am on higher alert to establishments that make me feel uncomfortable. I went to the Cerritos mall the day before my birthday to get my favorite cookies, when I stepped to the counter the owner was actually working the counter. She looked at me directly in the face, turned her back, and went to take care of other things inside her booth while I stood there for a total of 4 1/2 minutes waiting for her to acknowledge me. Or ask me to give her a moment so that she could take care of what was suddenly so urgent when I arrived. When she finally decided to give me her attention she walked over to the glass where I was standing, and said yes, and that's it. I lost it. Needless to say, I walked away from that counter with her knowing exactly how I felt about her service and her business. I didn't want to jump to conclusions so my mother and I got some food and sat down directly across from her establishment to watch and see if this experience was had by other people, specifically those of color. I watched this lady countless times hurry to service people that aren't the same colors as me. There was one customer that came to her booth that looked like me. It was a man with his children. They received almost the same service that I did. She sat in her booth and waited at least 2 to 3 minutes before she finally got up, walked to the counter, and just looked him in the face. No communication, no smile, nothing. This man still purchased with this woman and left the counter. I wish that he had been more aware of what was happening to him and his children. Needless to say, I hope that she changes her attitude towards people of color, specifically African-American customers. I saw plenty of Hispanicscustomers go to her booth, and she jumped to service them. Crappy ambience honestly

This macaron shop is near the food court at the mall. These are the best macarons I have tried! They are a good size. They have a lot of flavor and the filling is perfect. Not too sweet or thick like most I have tried. I love the pistachio, vanilla, strawberry and earl gray.

Not only cute but seriously tangy and tasty 5/5. It's seriously worth the price I paid for them!

Not only adorable, but tasty too!!! I accidentally came across Sweet Box only because I wanted to walk off my lunch and the mall was an air conditioned place to do it. So I was wandering with no destination in mind and I come across the Sweet Box kiosk. So freaking cute!!! This place is NOT cheap and being that the macarons were so cute, I figured they only looked good but didn't hold much weight in the flavor department. I was wrong. I enjoy macarons on rare occasions because they are usually too sweet but I thought that Sweet Box did a great job in the balance of sweetness, chewiness, and presentation. I would definitely recommend this place to others. After bringing them home and trying them, I was thinking of who's bday was coming up so I could buy them some. Out of the dozen I bought, the Earl Grey was my favorite. The Strawberry was good as well as it had a real fruit flavor to it. Piece of advise. Don't let them sit in your car or in a warm area as the filling will melt. I learned the hard way. I still ate all of them though. The service was good but I did feel a little rushed. I didn't understand why being that there was no one in line but I did feel rushed. She wasn't rude but she kept looking over her shoulder like she had something else to get to.

Ghost Macarons (゜ロ゜;)

Stumbled across this cute store while going around the mall. The macarons were so cutely decorated and tasted really good (´`)ノ I tried the ghost macarons and the grape tanghulu. It was my first time trying tanghulu and it wasn't that sticky and the grapes were sweet. My boyfriend said it was too sweet but that's just his taste ( ̄ ̄) The worker was so sweet and very nice!

Duckie-!!

They have the cutest macarons ever! There's usually a wide variety of animals if you come early. They are a bit on the pricey side for macarons but definitely worth it if you have the money! I religiously get my salted caramel duckies here. Ahh as an fyi though, they are a small business and due to them being under staffed they may sometimes take awhile to serve you - I once waited over 5 minutes to be served because the staff were hard at work decorating the next batch of cookies. So please be patient with them, they're trying their best!

Flavors: Vanilla Bean, Red Velvet, Matcha, Cookies & Cream, Nutella, and Strawberry. 12 pack for $28

Flavors: Vanilla Bean, Red Velvet, Matcha, Cookies & Cream, Nutella, and Strawberry. As you can tell, I already ate half the box. Out of all these flavors my favorite were Vanilla Bean and Nutella. But all of them were really really good. Not intensely sweet...just perfect. Probably the best macarons I've had in a while. Definitely recommend this place!

Here is proof of the mold on the macaron.

I had come here for some macarons, especially after a long day. The presentation of the macarons are quite lovely and they tasted well. However, i had opened up one of the macarons to discover there was mold on the cookie. I was extremely disappointed considering this was my first time at this place. I could've had an adverse reaction to the mold, not to mention this is not checked for quality at all, so who knows how long the macaron could've been sitting for if mold was able to grow inside. I'm extremely disappointed, so I recommend being weary and double checking before taking the first bite.

13 macaroons for $33!

This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

I've been here before and honestly wasn't a fan of their breakfast. Their drinks were decent…read morethough, and after eating teriyaki in Gardena, I was craving something sweet, so we decided to stop here again. I ordered a hot salted caramel latte. They charge an extra dollar to substitute oat milk, so I kept the regular milk. My son got the cappuccino cake, and I chose the ricotta pistachio cake. The pistachio cake was a little dry -- not terrible, but noticeable. However, my hot salted caramel latte was actually very good and paired really well with the dessert. The music and atmosphere were nice, and there were only a few patrons inside, which made it feel relaxed. However, there were a couple of dirty plates left sitting on tables while one employee seemed more focused on organizing napkins instead of clearing them. I also wasn't too sure how fresh the cakes were since they had been sitting in the display. Whether I come back really depends on the flavor and quality of the food and drinks next time around.

Kayla's Cakes in Fullerton specializes in French macarons made fresh, and they absolutely deliver…read more We ordered them for our nephew's 1st birthday after my sister decided on a some macarons for the dessert table, and despite not being from Southern California, this place instantly stood out. Macarons are notoriously difficult to make, so we tend to judge them harshly after having had some excellent ones from Paris, including Ladurée. These held their own in a very real way, which is not easy to do. Each macaron had a crisp exterior with a soft interior and light, balanced filling. The flavors were thoughtful, unique, and included seasonal options that made the spread feel special and elevated. While they are a premium dessert, especially the seasonal or larger varieties, they are absolutely worth it for a show stopping table. Out of the two dozen we ordered, I had five and then sent my husband back for three more. No regrets. Service was quick and our few questions were answered. We mostly had an idea of the flavors and quantity that we wanted.

Its 85C, so I think most people know what to expect. I would rate this more of a 3.5 star but it's…read morean average asian bakery with conveniently packaged breads and pastries, and pretty good drinks. I think compared to the traditional asian bakeries in 626 like Kee Wah, etc., the breads are much softer (a little on the overly soft side). One of my favorite asian breads, the bolo bao, is probably the worst here or at any 85C - the flakiness that's supposed to be the highlight of the bolo bao is not even close to where it needs to be at 85C. But I will say, the bun with the coffee filling inside is spectacular, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves coffee. At night, the selection of the breads is extremely limited, but the place is still popular due to the large variety of drink offerings. There is a lot of seating and the place is generally clean and well-lit. The parking lot is big but it's always busy and may be hard to find a spot unless you park further away sometimes.

Just had the worst experience in customer service at 85° Cerritos. I ordered both a Strawberry…read moreBanana smoothie and Strawberry Matcha Latte so that I could get the cat magnet. Per the promotion, you must order any two Strawberry drinks. They were behind in the drink orders, so I just waited patiently. But, then I noticed people who arrived after me were receiving their drinks. So, when I showed my receipt, not only was my Strawberry Banana smoothie order "lost" but another female customer walked off with/stole my Strawberry Matcha Latte. At this point, 15 minutes have passed and I wasn't offered an apology or compensation (free drink for the inconvenience). Naturally, I was angry and grabbed a display tote to show that I wanted a clean, brand new mini tote as compensation. Which I thought was fair because I didn't want to stand in line again to try and get a refund. Instead, I was accused of trying to "steal" a bag worth 2 cents. Just because I touched the bag. If you want to have your time wasted, drinks stolen and be accused of petty theft this place is for you! Note: Zero stars wasn't an option. Spouse said Strawberry Banana Smoothie was full of nothing but ice and poor quality.
