I would say the class is very beginner friendly, I wish we had more hands on time with making the fillings but I understand they have to make everything fit into the class time. We all left with 40 macarons of different flavours from everyone else in the class. They make sure you get two extra macarons of the flavour you chose. All the macarons tasted great and not too sweet. We each got to try 3 savoury macarons with champagne/apple juice while waiting for them to bake and cool.

I found J'Adore Les Macarons on Yelp that they offer macron class, let's do it! The instructor Connie is friendly and knowledgeable. My friend and I arrived 10 mins early before the class, the notes and some ingredients were prepared and placed on countertop. Yes, we made macarons at her kitchen. The first thing I learnt from Connie was how to pronounce Macaron. (Mac-a-ron). Macaron is referring to the French Macaron. If pronounce it macaroon, it is the coconut kind. We started with a cup of tea and tasted beautiful macarons during the class. Our group decided to make Lavender macarons with buttercream and chocolate ganache which made of 66% Valhrona dark chocolate. Connie taught us her secrets and techniques to make Parisian macarons. During the class, she vigilant in checking and measuring the ingredients. After 4 hours long class, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot. I took 18 macarons home and shared with my friend and hubby. I would recommend any macaron lover to take the class or buy the macarons from Connie

I am relatively new to them as just being introduced to them this year! Although I am a macaron noob, I've looked online and read recipes and know enough about them to truly appreciate the precision that goes into its creation. So I went to their website and signed up for a class on Victoria day. I went on my own as my friend was unavailable. Connie, the instructor emailed me promptly to let me know as soon as there are 4 people in the class, it will be good to go. The class is held at Connie's house which I liked as it was warm and comfortable and made me feel at ease. I'm just a self-taught baker making assorted cookies and cupcakes at home and have never taken a class before so I didn't know what to really expect. The intimate setting of having 4 students was awesome. She had tea for us to drink, fun aprons to wear and 2 sample macarons to taste as we learned the secrets of baking macarons. It's great for people who have tried making macarons and need to tweak something to make consistent perfect macarons. You can tell Connie is just obsessed with macarons. I love it! She has done the work, spent time learning the skill and art of them and loves sharing that information through her classes. I think she said she has been making macarons weekly for the past year and a half! That's a LOT of macarons. If you love macarons and love to bake, Connie's class is a MUST. I had so much fun, and she is so pleasant. She even welcomes emails if you have a macaron crisis at home and have questions in the future. The price is fair. $100 for instruction PLUS you get to take 20 macarons home! It was definitely worth it. The whole experience makes me dreamy for Paris and macarons. Thank-you again Connie for generously sharing your expertise!

There are also a couple of tables outside. There are quite a few house plants, which does bring a bit of serenity and peacefulness to the place. Staff are friendly. No complaints.

Service was incredibly friendly and our crème brûlées came out quickly. They also have a complimentary water station, making it the perfect spot to chill. If I lived in Vancouver, I'd definitely be a regular for the cozy vibes and eclectic crème brûlée flavors.

I'm more of a pastry and coffee girl, but everything is good! Downtown can be difficult to find a seat, but not impossible. The location in North Vancouver has much more seating, but this place is just more quaint and cute. I love sitting outside on a chilly day with their heaters on! My fave is the passion fruit (the gateau, I'm not sure what it's called) and I was pleasantly surprised by the flakiness of the pan au chocolate. If you're not into chocolate, they have plenty of fruity or tart options. They also have macarons and are renowned for their chocolates. The tiramisu is delicious as a slice, but when we bought the entire cake we were not impressed. Not enough cake/lady fingers compared to the whip. But honestly that's my only complaint. They also make a mean oat milk latte!

I tried their croissant when they were first opening and loved their black sesame croissant. Perfectly flaky and very deep in black sesame flavours. On a different occasion, had the opportunity to get a cake from them. It was a seamless process to place an order for their cakes online and pick up the order. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu cake since I thought the birthday recipient would prefer that one the most. When it came time to cut the cake, it was a complete mess as the sponge was way too soaked mixed with the cream, the top layers of the cake were shifting while the cookie crust stayed put since it was too firm to cut through. It was a sticky, wet cake situation that was a bit unpleasant for a birthday that some people even said they'd skip the cake because of the mush appeal... this would've been great as a spoon the cake out of a bowl type of tiramisu situation however, for the price and size of the cake, you'd expect a cake to cut properly if it is sold as 'x' servings....
