Rooftop Macarons

Months ago my wife and I visited an establishment in Downtown Sacramento with some friends and purchased some delicious macarons. My wife is not a fan of sweets, so it was a big deal that she loved the macarons. Following this experience, I made a note that I would purchase macarons for her next birthday. Fast forward to her birthday, I did a quick Yelp search and found Rooftop Macarons (with dang near perfect reviews) located a little over 10 minutes away from my home.When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly employee behind the counter. Since I'm not a macaron connoisseur, I asked the employee about her personal favorite flavors. Based on her recommendations, I ordered 12 macarons consisting of the following flavors: Birthday Cake (3), Blueberry Cheesecake, Fruity Pebbles (2), Girl Scout (3), Raspberry, Salted Caramel, and Vanilla Bean. After paying, I waited for five minutes and another employee (who I assume may have been the owner), emerged from the backroom to present me with the 12 macarons in a cute box (I'm a sucker for presentation packaging).My wife's face lit up when she saw the macarons and she thoroughly enjoyed the flavors that I selected (of course my son and I made sure that she shared some of the goodness with us)... my personal favorites were "Birthday Cake" and "Girl Scout." As a tip - I suggest consuming these the day after purchase, for whatever reason they seemed to taste even better. If you have the desire to satisfy your sweet tooth, I highly recommend visiting Rooftop Macarons!

Rooftop macaroons is a great place in Elk Grove to grab macaroons and coffee. It's a great place to hangout with friends and study (booths have outlets for chargers). I ordered the banana matcha latte which is only available Friday and Saturdays. Wow, this drink was delicious! They also do milk substitutions - I got almond milk with mine. My husband ordered the regular latte which was also good, however his cup was half ice. Although the drinks were good, the prices were pretty steep. I will have to come on a Friday since they have $5 drinks on Fridays. I will come back to try the macaroons! They are so cute.

We got a peach matcha which was pretty good, although a little heavy on the peach chunks. We got 5 macarons:Girl Scout, vanilla lavender, Ube Marshmallow, crème brûlée, and strawberry cheesecake. The macarons lack flavor and were SO HARD. she suggested we let them sit for 5 mins. After 10 they were still very hard. We left the rest out for over an hour and they are so hard andCrunchy they're hard to bite through. Could be acceptable if they had good flavor, but unfortunately,They don't. We're pretty sure we got a stale batch, but for $3.50 each, we shouldn't be eating stale or overcooked macarons. Sadly, we will not return.

My first review of 2025 and what better way to start off the new year than to review one of the more popular desserts, macarons! These sweet and savory Parisian-styled French inspired cookies have become increasingly popular over the years. This is where I had the opportunity to check out one of the trendiest dessert places in the Sacramento area, "Rooftop Macarons".Believe it or not, this small business has actually been around since 2017 when they were exclusively doing online orders through Instagram. Over that entire 5-year span, this craze got so immensely popular, they decided on building an actual brick-and-mortar location that came to life in August 2022. Located in a small strip mall, their business is situated at the corner of Vintage Park Dr. and Elk Grove Florin Rd. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 8am-6pm and weekends from 10am-5pm. Keep in mind that they still do mobile orders but having an actual location also enhances the whole experience. I came here with my lady during the afternoon of Saturday 12/28/2024 at around 4:00pm. Since there were quite a bit of businesses opened during this time (Chinese restaurant, tattoo shop, etc.), the parking lot was quite full. Upon entry to Rooftop Macarons and they too had quite a few people inside. As for the interior layout, it was very bright, cheerful, and spacious as there was an abundance of seating throughout. To the left are a lovely mural painting of macarons and to the right is the digital menu board of all food & drink items.Since we had some much later in the day, they had sold out on many of the macarons but still had a few excellent options. My lady went with their "Strawberry Cheesecake" while I tried their "Cookies & Cream". Prices for these were a very reasonable $3.50 + tax. Since we also wanted to enjoy a cold beverage to pair up with these, I went with their #1 seller, the "Rooftop Marble Coffee". This was Phin-filtered coffee complete with sweetened condensed milk & house milk. My lady went with their "Tiramisu Latte" which also used the Phin-filtered coffee but added a housemade tiramisu cream & cocoa powder.Our drinks were ready within 5 minutes. I want to point out that this place exclusively only makes iced drinks; and that is for all their coffees and teas. In addition, they have an impressive amount of milk teas, matcha, and a few fruity specialty drinks. My drink was delicious but it was loaded with way too much ice to a point where I was done in just a few sips (hence the reason for deducting a star). However, the macarons were on point and some of the best I've ever had. All in all, "Rooftop Macarons" is definitely a business worth checking out if you're in this part of Sacramento. The service is above average while the ambiance and atmosphere was above average. One final thing is that this place does not accept cash but they do take Apple Pay/Google Pay as well as major debit/credit cards. With that said and done, I am giving this place an above average four-star Yelp rating. Cheers to 2025!

I'm not a fan of macarons but I love the ones from Rooftop. We ordered for a birthday event and everyone loved it. Service is great. And Ambiance indoor is nice.

I came in to try Rooftop Macarons for their $5 New Year's Day drink special and was glad I did.I asked for a matcha latte with a splash of pandan syrup and condensed milk. The staff was really helpful in answering questions and making adjustments since I can't drink anything too sweet. I was intrigued by the MACamisu since it was a mix of macaron shell & tiramisu. I ordered the ube flavor, which I could taste (none of that subdued flavor). The macaron shell was nice and crispy which added nice texture to the dessert. It wasn't too sweet so I ate it all in one go and didn't feel like I was sugar loaded. Parking is easy in a shared complex. It's in a residential area so pretty easy to navigate. There were plenty of seating indoors and didn't feel crowded.

I've been ordering macarons from them since before they had a storefront and now I come here all the time for my morning coffee. Every single thing I've ordered from here, including drinks, has been absolutely amazing! I highly recommend boycotting big chains and supporting small businesses like this one.

This review is for just the coffee. I got the Rooftop Marble coffee, which was $8 after a 15% tip. This thing is like 80% ice. It tasted good but I finished all the coffee in like 3 medium gulps. Pretty disappointing.

My review is for the coffee only. I ordered the black sesame latte and it was delicious. I only wish they had a large size bc I drank my cup in seconds. My friend got the durian drink and it smelled so good. I'll definitely gget that next time.The decor for the place is super cute. Who doesn't love macarons!??!

Probably one of the best Macaroons you can get in Sacramento. Portion size is huge, and twice the size compared to other places.Quality is also great. I came here around late afternoon, and the Macaroons still were still the perfect softness.I highly recommend the creme brulee as it is quite unique and not something I see other places do. The tiramisu is good also and isn't as messy as I expected it to be.
