‘Lette Macarons

I feel like the texture and flavor of Lette is way better than Bottega but that’s just my opinion. The price however is a bit high for a small little treat. But then again all macaroons are way over priced. We are basically paying for labor.
This would definitely be a treat to me and not a habit LOL!

Really tasty, no complaints. These are well crafted macaroons. They are a bit pricey, but macaroons always are. Between this place and Ice Cream lab next door… you will get a sugar overdose, but well worth it.

All of their macaroons taste exactly what they say they are flavors as plus a scoop of sugar. So you want rose? Here– eat a flower with a scoop of sugar. You want coffee? Forget coffee bean next door, have this coffee macaroon!
We ended up getting a six pack of flavors– raspberry, Columbian coffee, pistachio, almond, red velvet, and chocolate.
Although a bit on the pricey side… it’s worth every bite!

Macarons are not on my list of favorite delicacies. In fact, they are not even close. They remind me of cookies, but not as satisfying and more expensive. Well, lette Macarons may have changed my mind when it comes to these treats.
Was not my idea to stop into their lovely little shop. My wife and I were walking by, and she wanted to check out their goodies. The macarons all looked great on display in the cases. At $ 1.95 each, the prices were very reasonable compared to most places. We bought a 6pk for $ 11.50
I tried not to like them, but resistance was futile. Got to try a bit of the Passion Fruit, Pistachio, Raspberry, Salted Caramel, Lemon, and Almond. All of them made my wife very happy except the almond which was a bit too sweet for her liking. Yeah, I was happy too. Happy Wife equals Happy Life!
If you are craving macarons, then lette Macarons in old Pasadena is a great place to go!

My go to gift item when going to parties or just for a little pick me up snack after shopping. Always a pleasant sight to see the colorful display of flavors right in front. Also they have a cool macaroon cake near the entrance! Wouldn’t mind getting this versus a bday cake. Love getting all the flavors in a 12 pack. Really looks gorgeous when displayed in the box. Sometime they can run out of flavors so I like going early.

Delicious macarons. My favorite has to be the pistachio. Yum.
These are macarons and not macaroons, people. They are two different types of desserts.
I don’t particularly care for the smell of the shop though. It sometimes smells like a stinky dog bed. I’m hoping that this may be all the smell of the different flavors all mixing together as it’s quite unpleasant at times.

Got these as a gift from a gf and loved them. It was a rainbow of macaroons in a box! Had pretty much every flavor. Loved each one but if I had to choose, I definitely liked the pistachio flavor the best! So the next time I went to Pasadena, I made it a point to stop by the store and pick up a box to take home. Picked up a box of six including pistachio, salted caramel and red velvet. Quite pricey for one but when I’m in the mood for macaroons I just don’t care.

They’re macaroons are delicious! No matter which location I go to they always taste fresh. They are a bit on the pricey end but I definitely think they are worth it.

3.8 stars
Simple, clean storefront. Beautiful, elegant macaron designs and lovely flavors. Excellent texture. My favorite is probably the earl grey and sweet wedding almond.
Prices have gone up a bit.
$ 1.95 per macaron.
$ 11.50 for 6.
Great for gifting.

Lette has the yummiest macarons in my opinion. The texture is perfect and the fillings aren’t too sweet. My favorite flavors are the lemon, passion fruit, and earl gray.

I don’t often give 5 stars to bakery places, especially to a bakery delicacy that I consider to be really expensive per item but having a box of this sure made my potential girlfriend at the time super happy! Happy to say we have been dating for almost a year now and this cute little box of macaroons started it all as an ice breaker. Thanks!
Super fast service, convenient as well. Also a very clean and tidy shop.

I love going here for good quality macarons. It’s pretty pricey, but you’re paying for high end macarons of various flavors like Rose, Earl Gray tea, Red Velvet, Lavender, Wedding Almond and many more! They also have seasonal macarons. These macarons are very appealing and melt in your mouth. They come in a very nice packaging, too.
These serve as a great gift to give to somewhere or simply a nice treat for yourself.
The store itself is pretty tiny, but it’s in a nice location in Old Town Pasadena.
You wont regret trying these macarons!

Working in a bakery, and growing up in a family of phenomenal home bakers, I’ve never been one to purchase bakery items. Of course, I’ve never tried my hand at macarons, and naturally they’re my boyfriend’s favorite dessert.
While walking through Old Town Pasadena, just after leaving 85° c and passing on their tiny macarons, ‘lette’s colorful display of macarons caught our eye. We peered through the window, trying to figure out the prices. We didn’t see any but took our chances and went inside.
We still didn’t see the prices so I asked. They’re sold individually with discounts for purchasing in increments of 6, 12, 24+. The signage is actually a decal on a side wall and is easily missed. At $ 1.95 each, I decided that I’d spring for box of 6 of them as an anniversary treat for my bf ($ 11.50 or $ 1.92 each)
We each picked 3 flavors, and ended up with:
— Caribbean Chocolate (brown) — tastes like fudge.
— Earl Grey Tea (green with a green mark) — tastes like earl grey.
— Passion Fruit (orange) — Incredible fruity, unmistakably passion fruit. Almost jam like.
— Rose (pink with a red mark) — has no taste. Compared it to the rose water in my fridge and again, any flavor was almost indiscernible.
— Violet Cassis (purple) — tastes like violet gum. Filled with black currant ganache. Very violet flavored.
— Sweet Wedding Almond (pink with white dots) — tastes like marzipan.
Apart from the rose macaron, these were highly flavored and of good quality. I’ve had macarons so stale that you have to pick them out of your molars. These were light, sweet and flavorful. They were large enough that we were each able to get a decent bite of every flavor. I don’t understand the reviews where people say they don’t like any of the flavors aside from salted caramel. It’s not a Starbucks Frappuccino, it’s an almond cookie and these ones, while expensive simply because they’re macarons, are a good value.
If I were in the area, I’d say that this would definitely warrant a repeat purchase.

This macarons place is right across from pinkberry and cheesecakes factory. It’s right next to ice lab as well. It’s a very tiny and small place; park at the structure right next to it. This used to be my go to place for macarons because it’s a lot closer compared to the places all the way in LA. Now that I’ve tried milkstaches macarons, these don’t taste as good to me. The only flavor I actually like from Lette is their salted caramel. One time I just got a whole dozen of salted caramel in one box! It didn’t look as good for pictures since it was only the color yellow, but it was delicious to eat.
If you want some unique and legit macarons, try Milkstache! Hers are delicious and fresh even two days after purchase!

YUMM! my go to place to buy macarons, considering there’s no laduree in the LA area.
They’re always adding flavors but you can never go wrong with most of their classics :)
My favorite by far is the earl grey but i’ve honestly never tried a flavor here I didn’t like.
They’re about $ 2 a piece which is on the cheaper size for macarons, especially ones that are this well made!
The best thing is that they’re still great the next day, or even the day after that whereas other macarons tend to get very stale if you wait 12 hours to devour them :(
The macaron tree is also the most beautiful tree i’ve ever seen in my life.

‘lette is still the best macaron place in town! It’s a little expensive, but well worth it. The store is simple and clean. I’ve tried all the flavors and the lemon is still my favorite.
I remember there use to be a line for this place, but it seems to be empty now. I can’t wait to go back again!

*** Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 13/​100***
This was my go to place for macarons when we still lived in LA. The quality and taste IMO is better than the well known Bottega Louie and Bouchon and the closest in taste and quality to Laduree’s. At $ 1.83 a piece, it’s more than a steal for these delicate French cookies that are crisp on the outside and sweet and chewy on the inside.
They come in different colors and flavors, my favorite: Earl Grey tea and Hazelnut. Then there’s the Caribbean chocolate that’s a perfect balance of sweet and bitter chocolate. The Sicilian pistachio, Coconut, Passion fruit, sweet wedding almond and Colombian coffee are ohhhhh so good too! I’m bummed that I can’t have them on a whim nowadays but look forward to future trips to LA to savor them once again.

I did not like the taste of the pistachio but who am I kidding? I love chocolate and should have wiped this place w/​everything chocolate to-​go.
After a heavy lunch at Dog Haus, I made Craig and Rocco venture to my one of my bookmarks. I love macarons and though I couldn’t spend as freely as I’d like, it was still a vacation, nonetheless so I indulged.
Cute and bright little shop. The colors of the walls to the displays of the variety of macarons was vibrant, almost too pretty to touch. I glanced at the price and decided my cap was 5 macarons.
Intended to save some for when I got to Palm Springs but I ended up eating everything before we got to the car. Did I have any regrets? Yes. I should have bought 100.
— chocolate was light, buttery, and smooth
— salted caramel was rich and a bit dense
— pistachio was not my cup of tea
Wish there was one in the Bay Area!

I dunno why I keep buying macarons when I’m not really a sweets person. My only reason is that they all look so cute and pretty, round little things lined up in such pretty colors.
Ordered one macaron from each flavor. I think they had about 12 – 14 different flavors and the total came up to $ 25.
I tasted 3 but unfortunately, all I could think of was that they all tasted the same. Sugary. Very sweet.
They don’t have any seats so you might want to take your macarons to a coffee shop somewhere in the area.

Great place for macarons! I’ve gotten boxes to give to my friends in the past, and they’ve always enjoyed them. The store itself is tiny and very minimal, and they never have a line. Macarons are almost 2 dollars each and normal macaron sized (so not giant like at Lemonade or Europane). Their macarons (as far as I’ve experienced) have good texture too, they’re not hollow!
Personally I’ve tried:
Rose: so pretty, definitely has the essence of rose without feeling like your eating the plant itself. Who know roses and almonds taste so good together? I’m not usually into floral flavored sweets but this works for me.
Pumpkin: tastes like pumpkin pie!!! So delicious (if you like pumpkin pie… which I do).
It’s in downtown, so you will have to deal with the inconvenience of finding street parking or parking structures.

Petite, rich, chewy goodness… my favorite macaron place.
