Macaron Sweeterie

The shop has been closed permanently according to the website and facebook page.

These macarons were delicious! I thought I wasn’t a big fan of macarons but, it turns out all the macarons I have previously eaten were just lame. These were fluffy, sugary, deliciousness.
The woman was very friendly at the shop I am going to guess that she is the chef/​owner. My favorites were the passion fruit, nutella, and coconut chocolate. I could have done without the fig or the caramel ones only because there were other flavors I think I would have preferred (sorry I forgot to select you crème brulee). It was just so hard to choose from all the flavors staring at me in the case!
The hardest part about the whole thing is waiting for the macarons to get to room temperature to eat them! I jumped the gun and ate one without letting it get to room temperature and it was not the right texture. Do yourself a favor with these delicious and expensive treats, wait until they get to room temperature to enjoy them.
It’s appropriate to eat the whole six pack in one sitting, right?

You have to come here early or place your order online to make sure you get the flavors you want. They sell out fast! I got here a little before they closed and was lucky there was still a decent selection of flavors left. Some of the ones I wanted were already sold out :(.
At least we know how fresh and often they make these macarons here! The woman that helped me was pleasant and helpful. She gave me instructions on how to store them based on when they were going to be consumed.
The packaging is nice and I even took one to go during my car ride home. Good location, cute little shop.

My friends and I came really late, just a few minutes before they were closed. We could only get one macaron each because there were only a few left.
But the one I had was good, and all my friends like their’s.
One friend had the mango gelato and it was good too.
They are a bit pricey, but I guess it’s worth it.
I recommend you get there as soon as possible because they close as soon as they run out.

Love it. I was in the area last week and stopped in for a rasberry and pistachio macaron. The best I have ever had. Beautiful colors too, more vibrant than other places. A little pricey but I would still stop in for a couple. The woman working was very nice. I will definitely stop in again. They tell you to wait a few min to get them to room temperature. It takes longer than that unless it is really warm out so I would wait more like 15 – 20, fyi.

I agree with many of the customer service complaints, the owner was not a very pleasant woman. She definitely had a sour attitude. She was not directly mean or rude, but didn’t seem to care for more than for you to just pay for the goods and get out of her store.
The goodies themselves were pretty yummy. Texture-​wise, some were better than others, so I felt like that was inconsistent, but I wouldn’t say any were bad.
Verdict: probably won’t be returning.

It was ok.
I went in at 3. I don’t know if that has something to do with it. I assume mornings are better.
I’d go back.
The fact that it’s close to my work and there is no competition in the area has a lot to do with that.

I had never eaten a macaroon until I visited France for vacation last year. It was amazing — even the McDonalds there had pretty decent macaroons. However, the best macaroon I ever had was at a LAC Chocolatier in Nice. I even have a close up picture of me eating it. As in all you see is teeth + macaroon. I still fantasize about that moment sometimes.
Which brings me to macaroon sweeterie, which unfortunately did not culminate in me taking a close-​up teeth + macaroon shot.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a beautiful little macaroon and chocolate shop with fun macaroon flavors (like honey lavender). Unfortunately, it’s pretty pricey and 2 of the 4 macaroons I tried were stale. Whomp whomp. The other 2 were pretty good but still didn’t compare to the one from my teeth + macaroon fantasies. Alas, the search continues.

It’s easy to miss this spot, but definitely a nice addition to Lexington. I first came on one of those hot October days and got a hazelnut gelato. It was smooth, decently delicate, and full of hazelnut flavor.
The fruit macarons are some of the best. I liked the well-​balanced tartness (lemon) and richness (buttercream). The apricot macaron, with lots of apricot jam, was maybe a tad bit too sweet but I still liked it a lot. I like the spring freshness of rose lychee. Overall, there are so many choices for flavors and the display case really tempts you to choose everything in cavalcade of flavors and colors.
Yeah, macarons here are kinda pricey for a pastry, but if you know how macarons are made, you’ll understand why and maybe conclude that it’s worth it here.
The brown and blue décor is rather nice, and not too blindingly bright like some cupcake places I know. (*cough* *Sweet* *cough*) The service was good as the owner was polite and patience throughout. She thoroughly explained all the macaron flavors I requested.

After visiting France 4 times already, macarons have become my favorite sweet. Whenever I’m in MA visiting family, I stop by here to get my macaron fix. The flavors are great and you can pick and choose your flavors to put in a pretty little box. Reminds me of Paris, Nice and Cannes where they give you that option, just not as expensive as France.
The gelato here is also very good, almost as good as the gelato in Italy! My favorite is raspberry and mango, very creamy!
They are a little pricey for their macarons, but most places that sells macarons are usually expensive. These delicate little deliciousness is very fragile and can be very difficult to make if not careful, so they have every right to charge more.

I went in on a Wednesday when they had first opened up, and the woman there was very nice. I got a box of 24 for about $ 53… it is a bit expensive compared to other places in the Boston area, but they are bigger and have more flavor!
I’d highly recommend getting the Rose Lychee, pistachio, dark chocolate, and maybe some others but I haven’t tried them all just yet!

The macarons here are amazing. My girlfriend had them for the first time from Macaron Sweeterie and she loved every bite of it.
Macarons are great, the service is great, and despite the price, it is worth every penny.

Talk about a diamond in the rough. Immediately strikes as a passion project because there’s no other reason for this specialty shoppe to be buried in a residential stretch of Mass Ave in Lexington. Baffling.
Interior is condensed with a café warmth, showcasing a single display — 50% macaron stacks, 50% gelato. I know what I’m getting!
The macarons are total eye candy, a rainbow of hues with coinciding (and sometimes not) flavors ranging from the standards to specialty stretches. Black raspberry or crème brûlée anyone? Each morsel ($ 2.10 individually, slightly less in packs) comes with a list of instructions that can only be equated to child care: Don’t get it too warm, but don’t eat it cool. Always use two hands and support it evenly. Don’t let it bounce around in a box! Forgot if I got a snack or adopted a cookie fuhgoodnessakes.
The Sweeterie nailed the sweeter Sicilian style pistachio gelato like a boss. Creamy, luscious and silky smooth, it’s one of the better gelatos I’ve had in the area. Just like PepsiCo in 1993, this stuff was crystal-​free. And, honestly, it proved to be the favorite of the two products. It’s not that the rich, flavor-​packed macarons weren’t spot-​on (they were); moreso, we found ourselves longing for the gelato after the last bite was bit.
Swinging by Wilson Farm or just wanderlusty through the the northern boundaries of Arlington, Macaron Sweeterie is definitely worth a look-​see.

I like the almond macarons. They have a lot of flavor.
The shop is on a busy street. There’s only street parking.
If you’re not familiar with Lexington you might want to print out a map.

Cute little neighborhood shop with macaroons and gelato. Pricey, but sweet atmosphere. They sell little gift boxes. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the macaroons, but they were fine. The whole experience and image is kind of worth it. Makes a great little hostess gift!
The gelato is worth going back for. I enjoyed my little cup of frozen delight when I went in to buy a gift box of macaroons.

French French French — crafted with care
If I could hide in the back room and eat all of the macarons I would! I LOVE the variety offered. Have to say I couldn’t choose my favorite. Ended up with almost 24 dollops of happiness and I have to confess in a moment of weakness I ate ALL of them :) Maybe the batch I had was good, or I was just craving an assortment of macaroons, would love to go back but it’s a bit of a hike for me.

Strong suggestion: If you don’t like macarons then you can have the sorbet it’s delicious!

They have a very French concept of customer service.
Me (one hour before closing): I’d like five boxes of 6 macarons each.
Owner: No, eet ees not possible. That is a large order. Not possible.
Me: What?
Owner: No. Eempossible. You should have ordered three weeks ago, December 10, for a large Chreestmas order.
Me: What is the problem? There’s more than enough in the display case.
Owner: Oh, very well. (Puts them in boxes).
Me; Aren’t you going to put a ribbon on them? They are gifts, and I’ve driven quite a ways to get here.
Owner: Oh, I assumed you were in a hurry.
Me: !!!
Nice place, but they should try to put the customer first.

My boyfriend brought me here so I can try their macarons.
We had a hard time finding a parking spot, so we parked around a neighborhood and walked down the hill, took a right and there it was. It’s a cute small shop serving french macarons, gelato and coffee.
I got the pistachio, rose, lavender honey, black currant, espresso, and coconut.
I enjoyed the pistachio, rose and espresso the most but the honey lavender was too strong for me. Overall, they were yummy!
I love the cute box they put the macarons in with the ribbon on top. I left the shop smiling all the way back… even when we had to walk up the small little hill. I honestly didn’t want to eat them because they were so pretty looking.

Macaron Sweeterie is my dream come true.
I’ve had macarons in New Orleans, New York, Baltimore, North Carolina, even here in Boston… good and bad, deliciously sinful and audaciously reprehensible. I’ve had dreams of the fluffy things, crackly-​crisp on the outside and so chewy on the inside. Creamy centers to make your mouth water! I am a macaron fanatic. I love the little things, and nothing would make me happier than to be able to enjoy amazing macarons any time I wanted.
Macaron Sweeterie has made that possible. I drove by it on the way from H-​Mart to Allston, which is an odd route for me. When I saw the sign, it took me about 8 seconds of thinking and debating to turn my car around and pay the GORGEOUS shop a visit. I walked in and was bowled over.
The interior design is posh and trendy and oh-​so-​French, shades of coffee and robin’s egg splashed everywhere. The macaron display is a thing of beauty. But when you see the FLAVORS… oh my.
Caramel Fleur de Sel, Rose, Honey Lavender, Apricot, Lemon, Dark Chocolate, Almond… oh god, the almond. But they’re all amazing. The cookies are blissfully flaky and crunchy on the outside. The insides are dense and chewy, and the centers are so full of flavor, so smooth! They’re amazing at room temperature or chilled, and each and every flavor I tried was nothing short of spectacular.
Macaron Sweeterie, I will be back. And I will sing your praises to everyone I meet. THANK YOU for opening up, and if I have to keep you in business single-​handedly, I WILL.

I noticed this place about a month ago driving down Mass Ave on my way to work one morning. Normally, I wouldn’t pay attention, but saw the new blue and brown sign and love trying new cute little places that sell sweets. Today, I was passing by and thought I’d go in and check it out.
They have a lot of macaron flavors. The most I’ve ever seen in one display. I bought a box of 12 and got the Caramel Fleur de Sel, Passion Fruit, Expresso, Lavender, Rose, Raspberry, Apricot, Dark Chocolate, and Vanilla. And those weren’t even all the flavors!
I shared the box with friends so I didn’t get to try them all, but I really enjoyed the Caramel Fleur de Sel and the Passion Fruit. I’ve had macarons in France, Bouchon Bakery (Thomas Keller), and Burdicks (Harvard Sq) and I have to say these macarons are right up there in taste and quality. It has just the right chewiness on the inside and delicate outershell.
Price-​wise, I thought it was reasonable for the box of 12 for macarons since in general, macarons tend to be on the pricier side. For the time and skill to make good macarons, I’m willing to pay the price.
I’d definitely come back here again for giving these treats as gifts or to satisfy a craving. :) I’ll have to come back another time and try the Gelato too :)
