Love & Macarons

Love & Macarons is a small home based business owned by Tiffany. She does her pop ups mainly at Midtown Farmers market but not every weekend. We actually have purchased her macarons at a pop up inside a coffee shop that didn't survive these covid times. Sad but real. This past December 2021 Saturday she was located inside the West Elm furniture store nearby Mendocino Farms restaurant. My wife was mistaken thinking she was outside but I saw her hubby JR in front of the store chatting with another small business vendor & told me Tiffany was inside. We have supported this small business for over five years bc Tiffany told us how old her two girls are now 6 & 11. Where has time flown?Wifey wanted to try her newest ube flan macarons. Whoa these were delicious bites made from heaven. They were unique like none other. You can tell they were made with love. We were accustomed to Tiffany's usual macarons case but instead she had ready made 6 pack & 12 pack macaron boxes as well as hot cocoa bombs & leche flan dessert cups specific for the holiday season! Come support this small home business. You will thank me later. Follow Love and macarons on Instagram or on her website for her pop up information. If you're lucky you may be able to preorder some macarons today & pick them up right away! Check it out now! Don't wait.

Amazing! These are probably the best macarons I've had. I received these as a birthday gift, which made them that much more delicious. I will say, that they do taste pretty close to the description on the label. As soon as they touched my tongue they melted with richness. They have a crunchy exterior and soft light nougat. Each macaron is individually wrapped and the flavors are easily identified by the character. Can't wait to go to their next pop up, which is posted on their website.

I love macaroons and these are so good. I love the ube one, and the flan one. She doesn't have that one all the time but I always get it when I see it at the farmers market. The salted caramel is my other go to. I could literally eat these all day.

OMG YUM! This has got to be the best macaron I have EVER tasted. I only picked up one at the little EG fair because I'm usually underwealmed, but not this time. The flavor and freshness was amazing. I will definitely be picking up more and look forward to checking out your new flavors. Customer service was very nice too. You got yourself a new loyal customer:)

After trying a fair assortment more of their flavors, I thought to update my little review. They made a huge impression with their P.O.G. but that was simply the one flavor I had. I've been at their little stall two more times during this year and both have resulted in the same high-quality macarons that are as beautiful as they are delicious. I mean, who wants a plain red macaron when you can have a psychedelic grey-and-white swirl one dusted with bits of edible gold. Or how about one in the shape of Luke Skywalker or Yoda or a cute ice cream cone. No matter the flavor you get, the macaron's cookie shells are equally delicate, airy, and crunchy with a small bit of chewiness - sure signs of well-and-proper made ones. As for the fillings, all have the typical sweetened/flavored sweet buttercream dealio, but they go above with the inclusion of curds, jams, bits of cereal, caramel, black sesame seeds, etc. All to achieve the maximum amount of flavor and that "Mmm"-factor. Here's a breakdown of a few of the various flavors I've had.P.O.G. (passion fruit, orange, guava): a dangerous blend that takes you to Hawaii with its citrusy flavor profile of orange boosted by tart passion fruit ending with guava's sweetness.Lemon Lavender: Subtle lavender with sweet cream that's complimented by a drop of lip-puckering lemon curd.Raspberry Rose: A hint of rose in the undercurrent of flavors with raspberry saying hello for a quick tart second. Sea Salt Caramel: lovely buttery salted caramel.Lemon poppyseed: the ultimate lemon experience with tart lemon curd, sweet lemon-flavored cream, and the natural lemonyness of poppy seeds. Everything but..: a funky but great mix of toasted sesame, buttercream, and a salted something else that brings a mouthwatering moment.Horchata: that sweet cinnamon-y cream that reminds me of milk taking on that Cinnamon Toast Crunch goodness.Safe to say: everything is just fantastic. No flavor has been disappointing. Even the more subtle flavors pack more flavor than some of the high-end macarons I've had. And while I may be repeating myself from the prior review, the points are just as valid. This tiny stall packs a ton of flavor.Just note: get there early! Maybe even as they open. I mean it. Like. They sell out of at least one flavor an hour after they open and the rest follow suit. Trust me. I've been a person that buys the last one of a specific flavor much to the vocalized disappointment of the people behind me. The fabulous 5 stays of course and I look forward to the next visit!

Dropped by to pick up six different flavors while out at the Midtown Farmers Market. I stepped back and checked myself after I didn't even say 'Hi' to the young lady who was looking at me ready to help. Honestly, I was so mesmerized at how the macaroons were beautifully displayed, and amazed at all the wonderful combinations of flavors offered. I immediately apologized, and asked how she was doing. The young lady was super sweet and gracious, said 'hi' back to me, and continued to be wonderful. I picked out six. My kiddos couldn't wait to try one each, right away. These macaroons were so yummy! Glad we dropped by!

I will admit that I can not understand the macaron craze. I've tried macarons at every place I've been able to get them, primarily because they're fun to photograph, but also to see if maybe... just maybe I will finally understand why people are so crazy for these things.On a whim, I decided to go to Coffee Spot to try Love and Macarons because they'd previously only been available through private orders or through the Midtown Farmer's Market. After being thoroughly photographed, I took a bite of the salted caramel and fell in love. I saw macaron angels and they were shooting cookie arrows straight to my stomach... I mean heart. I've never had that reaction to a macaron before. I thought maybe it was a fluke, but had the same reaction to her tiramisu one also. Drove back the next day for more and I've been happily addicted ever since. Personal fave is the salted caramel, then tiramisu, and cookies & cream. I need to try her new butterbeer, churro and caramelized banana flavors.

The only place I will ever get macarons from!! Ever since macarons/macaroons started gaining popularity, I was never a fan of them. It just didn't taste that good and I didn't understand the hype. Fast forward a couple years until about 4 months ago when I had my first macaron from Love & Macarons; I completely fell IN LOVE with their macarons. Such a great little treat to have at the end of the day. Every flavor I have tried from them is amazing; you can't go wrong! They are not overly sweet either, which I really like.They're at the Midtown Farmer's Market every other Saturday starting at 8 AM. They open up a pre-order form the Wednesday before where you can claim your macarons and pick it up at the market. However, if you missed this window of opportunity (because trust, it's not open for very long), then MAKE SURE you get to the market EARLY to make sure you get the flavors you want because they go FAST.My favorites are churro with dolce de leche filling, lemon poppyseed, and french toast. She sometimes makes really interesting flavors that you wouldn't think of yourself, like the Honeydew Avocado Jalapeno. This one is definitely more of a "savory" sweet flavor; very light sweetness and you get the creaminess of the avocado and a hint of jalapeno.If you're able to get your hands on these before they sell out, BUY A BUNCH!! They can last in the freezer for up to 3 months, so you can freeze the ones you won't eat right away and have them here and there as a "treat-yourself-treat". Love love love these macarons and I will continue to indulge in them!

Everything I tried out was fantastic and beautiful! My friend loved it as well. We tried the fun characters and classics. Anytime I'm at the midtown farmer markets, love and macarons is a must stop by! Can't wait to try the different fun and unique flavors in the future! Tiffany is wonderful!

We only come to the farmers market for love and macarons! Honestly the best macarons I've ever had.
