Macaron Tart

I came here yesterday to treat some of my sailors to some sweet treats. A couple of my sailors had gluten allergies and apparently macarons typically have no gluten. Macarons here actually tastes pretty good. Unfortunately there's not many flavors to choose from; there's more available if you place an order ahead of time though. However, the customer service here is absolutely dismal. I've received better customer service at Pho Dalat in Chesapeake and the staff at that restaurant barely speak English! Loll The brunette lady who I dealt with after walking into the store, she walked around with an air of French superiority. I'm gonna assume she was either the owner or manager. She asked me what I wanted, but the way she asked it, was like she was almost trying to rush me..and it felt like I was an inconvenience to her, at least, that's the vibe I was getting from her. I ended up getting a dozen macarons, one lemon meringue tart and one key lime tart to go. Before I paid, I asked to make sure if the macarons were indeed gluten free. And the way she replied, was like, of course they are, why don't you know that?I definitely won't be back to Macaron Tart. Yeaaa..not worth dealing with that kinda customer service. There's other good shops that sell well made macarons AND offer great service.

This is an local own pastries in the heart of Town Center VA Beach and own by Elena. She was so accommodating. We did tried the macarons, danish and and chicken croissants. I must say the chicken croissants was so delicious!. The ambiance is a French style. She also offers baking baking class, QR code is attached if you're interested . We probably go back here.

Beautiful shop with very friendly owner. We took a class with the owner and learned how to make our own macaroons. She was very patient and great with instructions. The macaroons were delicious as well as the other deserts behind the counter. Highly recommended!

The Macaron were average, nothing to brag about. I guess I'm just used to Hummingbird Bird's were you can taste the the flavors. These were just boring and not worth the price. The service kinda threw us off, also the cashier, She removed the samples off the counter, like she thought we were going to take all of them! What in the world!! I paid and hurried out! Praying that Hummingbird will reopen soon!!

These are the best macarons ever! Flavors were delicious and flavorful! Service was amazing too!

Beautiful store front, however the food was not so good. We just got back from Paris and I was hoping for a nice chocolate croissant, unfortunately that was not the case. The chocolate croissant tasted old and left a strange aftertaste. My daughter had the apple tart which she said was just ok.

I will start by saying I actually used to work right across the street when Macaron Tart first opened and I have always been highly impressed with everything I've ever ordered! The owner was always there when I stopped by and was always very sweet to me and always recommended something amazing for a quick lunch break!Fast forward today : (about 4 years since I've been in)I was planning on taking my 5 yr old daughter on an afternoon tea date and another cute little tea house I found only to find out that they were closed for a private event. My daughter was obviously disappointed and I felt pretty terrible for not making a reservation. Panicking to come up with a solution for my disappointed little one I remembered that my favorite little macaron place served tea! I called and asked if there was anyway we could do a last minute high tea. The man on the phone (who turned out to be the owners husband) explained to me they usually ask for the high teas to be reserved ahead of time to ensure the items are prepared fresh for the tea. However, he did tell me to come on in and there were other pastries and macarons readily available! I told him that was perfectly fine and we were on our way. *sigh of relief*We get there and my daughter was overjoyed to see all of the goodies! He promptly offered us a selection of teas and prepared it for us. I asked if there was a set menu for the food, he explained to me since they weren't prepared for us they didn't have the lunch items usually served with the tea ready and that we were more than welcome to make selections from the counter and he would serve us. My daughter was very excited to make her selections from the counter. I asked for a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and he happily prepared one for us!Long story short I just wanted to say thank you so much to the owner's husband for saving our tea date! He was beyond accommodating and sweet. And yes the food is still amazing!

Located at the Town Center. Small and clean with a few tables. Very tasty Macaroon . Coffee is ok . Customer service is good.

Macarons are one of my favorite desserts ever. I came across this cute little place just walking around Town Center and I've got to say it's realllly good! This little shop is owned by a lovely couple who takes pride in their baking (as they should)! Elena (the owner) specializes in macarons and pastries, however she also sells cookies, scones, tarts (sweet and savory), tea and coffee. I've gone a few times and one day she was actually hosting a birthday party, high tea style which I thought was super cute! She mentioned she also does bridal showers, corporate events and cooking classes as well. The shop is very-well maintained, clean and professional!The food I've tried (some macarons and tarts) were super delicious. I'm not big on fruity macarons but Elena had me try a black currant macaron and it was one of the most delicious flavors I've tried! The flavors of her macarons definitely come through and they are the most delicate. Her tarts were also super flaky and buttery and rich! Her pricing is a little on the higher end compared to other bakeries but I don't mind it given the quality. I also happened to take her macaron baking class as a gift for my birthday! It was definitely quite an experience, as she is a VERY intense and passionate about her baking! Her personality is very strong and it could be quite intimidating but deep down she is actually very nice.Her class was about $110 per person but having taken the class and looking back I'd say it was a bit too pricey. She will not book a class unless you have 4 or more people in your party. I found it was kind of hard to reach her via phone if her bakery was busy, so we had to call quite. a. bit. to get through to try and book the class.The class was a bit chaotic if I'm being honest. The instruction was purely verbal, she would demonstrate what you are supposed to do and you were to mimic her shortly after, however I found that she was going kind of fast and not pausing when it was our turn to mimic her. We found ourselves trying to play catch up because she was moving onto next steps before we finished the initial ones! She was also tending to customers coming through the shop during instruction (which don't get me wrong is fine!) but she would come back into the kitchen and say "whoops sorry I forgot to lock the door during our class!" and never ended up locking the door... so she did this about 3-4 times during instruction and apologized for "not locking the door during the class" each time. I understand if you're trying to keep you're business going, but the integrity wasn't there for me and that is what I didn't love. I think it would have been better for her to schedule classes when her husband is there to back her up and not when she is running the shop by herself.The macarons we made during her class turned out pretty well, I ended up with about a dozen in total. She gave us the recipe on our way out (or she had us take a picture of it at least). The instructions are very minimal and I think this would have been more helpful to give to us at the start of the class rather than at the end, in the event she was going too fast or a step was missed. The class could use some improvement, but overall I do support and recommend this family business, as their pastries are delicious.

My daughter and i stopped by Macaroon and Tart for some yummy treats. We were greeted right away when we entered. The restaurant is a cute place with french decor. The owner is very big on letting you know French is a better quality of food... Lol.. Everything i asked about she said no no its french so the ingredients are better. So ok!! I guess i gotta get to France or I'm missing out!! Lol. There were cookies, fruit tarts, macaroons, quiches, and more. She gave me a sample of the berry tart and it was surprisingly delicious. Its a dessert i don't normally gravitate to, but i will now. The prices are a little high for some items. I paid $10 for 2 cookies and the tart was $9.90. The cookies were pretty big though so i got over it. The cookies did taste good. The macaroons being about $3 per, had very very little filling. I mean barely any. But they do taste good. I got 2 s'mores macaroons but realized when i left i was given a plain chocolate one instead. So i went back to get the correct one. Instead of just letting me keep the 1 that was incorrect she put her bare hands into my bag and took it out and placed it on the counter... Really?? For my trouble she could've just left it and gave me the right one.. Its gonna get thrown away anyways... (Dun dun dun, or is it?)lol. J/k. My daughter was extremely turned off by it... I ate it and just prayed over it.. That macaroon is gone! Lol! Although i wished she handled it differently i appreciate her resolving it. They have high tea, which sounds fun. You get an assortment of desserts, sandwiches, quiche or etc. But it is pretty pricey. So I'd probably only do it for a special occasion. The s'mores tart looked really good, I'm gonna try that next time. Everything she had displayed did look yummy...She also offers a variety of different baking classes. The macaroon class is $110 per person. I don't know what the going rate is for a class but that's kinda a lot.. Its nice though that she does offer that. I'd probably take the class if it were a little cheaper. I'm sure I'll go back.. Check them out!!!
