‘Lette Macarons

Stopped in to buy a box of macarons as a hostess gift. ‘Lette has a large selection of flavors from the more classic varieties such as pistachio and salted caramel, to more fun seasonal flavors like passion fruit and chai tea. All of the macarons look amazing and are priced at $ 12 for a box of six, or $ 23.50 for 12. They also have larger gift boxes available, as well as catering options if you’re looking to purchase more for a special occasion.
I had a chance to try both the pistachio macaron and the sweet wedding almond. They were pretty tasty, but didn’t blow my mind. That being said, they are good if you like macarons or are looking for a special gift. From my experience, a box of french macarons never disappoint and are always a hit as a gift. The girl working was also very nice and provided excellent recommendations. I don’t see myself rushing back, but will return when looking to purchase a foodie gift close to home.

As everyone else has made clear, if you like macarons, you’ll like this place. The cashier when I went was very polite as my friend and I took our time choosing out flavors. All 6 were delicious, but my favorites were rose, lavender, coffee, and sweet almond. The passion fruit and chai were also good but I wanted the chai to have a stronger flavor. I was also impressed with how well they tested when the last few bites had been left in the fridge for about a week after being hidden behind other food — feel free to stock up since they don’t go bad or stale quickly! Parking can be difficult in that area, I’d recommend the structure across the street.

The macarons here are really good. They are pretty small in size and they have standard flavors. The worker who helped me on Saturday afternoon was very rude and is definitely the reason i will not be coming back. It is a shame I was treated so rudely, because these macaroons would be perfect for my upcoming wedding.

If you like macarons you will love this place. The macarons here are fantastic. It doesnt get much better than this. I also love tge way they package their goodies. Very nice and clean looking. Perfect present for a friend if you want to give them a small little present.
If you havent been here you should try it out. The staff is really friendly and super helpful. I definitely recommend this place.

I came in right at 6PM, when they close, and the girl working was so nice! She could have said I’m sorry we are closed, but instead let me come in and order, and actually was apologizing to me for not having many flavors left (I think they only make a certain amount per day). I got a box of 6 and all of them were so delicious. I just moved to LA, so I will definitely be bringing my out of town friends and family here!

For me, this place offers the best macarons in LA. And trust me that I know what I’m talking about since I’m French. Every macaron flavor is amazing but my favorite is the chocolate one, more precisely the carribean chocolate.
A wonderful place to go to once in a while to offer yourself a treat.

This is my go-​to place for a host/​hostess dinner gift. Since everyone else is bringing wine anyway why not be different and bring something special and unexpected?
I actually have another favorite place for macarons, but I like that this is right down the street and they box them very nicely for gifting. They also have amazing flavors that I will surprise your tastebuds — earl grey tea, violet, and pistachio, and salted caramel are my favorites here.
A box of 12 will set you back about $ 23 which is about the cost of a bottle of wine and a bit more of a fun surprise.

The best macarons I’ve had so far. The lemon and tropical fruit flavor have the best balance of flavor and texture. The macarons here are soft, but still the right amount of crunch. I’ve been to other places with the shell is too crunchy and when you take a bite of out it, it crumbles onto the table, clothes, or car. This one has ever attached after the first bite in half. It doesn’t make you feel guilty afterwards, just sad you didn’t get another flavor.
Parking: street meter parking

I’m not a big macaron fan, but my wife is, so I brought her here recently for a treat. The macarons are expensive, but after you taste one, you realize why. We each had 4 of them on the day we purchased and wish we had bought more. And again, that is with me not really caring for this type of dessert. They were incredibly fresh and delicious.
I can’t really fault them for this, but I can’t give 5 stars either. The parking situation is atrocious, but it is Beverly Hills, so what can you expect. At 11 am on a Tuesday morning we drove for 15 minutes trying to find a spot, but I ended up just dropping my wife off out front and going around the block a couple of times until she was ready.
The store was very well put together and clean, and friendly service, according to her feedback. If we are ever in the area we will definitely stop by again, and probably invest a little more in our purchase so we can spread the joy out over a couple of days!

Not a big fan of the macarons here, they taste the same as any other macaron I could purchase at a boba shop or an ice cream place not the best. I’m a complete macaron fanatic so I know when a macaron is high in quality and this just does not do it. If any one wants to try the best macarons go to chocolate opulence on Sawtelle literally best macarons I tried in a long time. Sorry lette macarons the quality does not match the price

It does not take a lot of space to sell macarons in Beverly Hills. ‘Lette Macarons is a a small store. The macaroons are really good and not too sugary. I did enjoy the Coconut and theEarl Grey Tea ones. It can get expensive, but you are buying macarons in a very pricey zip code.

This is my go-​to place for macarons! Forget other bakeries and cafes that don’t know how to make a real quality macaron but only know how to make them pretty. That’s why Lette is the place to go! My recommendations for flavors are Rose, Sweet almond, Madagascar vanilla, Irish Cream, and literally all of them! They all taste amazing, and the service is great. You can ask the employee for recommendations, and they are super nice about it and helpful.

Hands down I have to say that the texture and flavour of these macarons is much preferred to those from Bottega Louie.
The boutique is quite small, but they have a decently sized variety of flavours to choose from. Customer service is always great (usually one or two girls manning the store).
The macarons themselves are light and chewy instead of crunchy and brittle. The fillings are delicious! I highly recommend red velvet, columbian coffee, salted caramel, and earl grey.

I absolutely love this place! The gift boxes are very nice to send.
I recently had an issue with an order, as can happen with a fresh food delivery, and Emily handled it with grace and promptness. She even sent a handwritten note.
The Beverly Hills location is on a darling street.
The product takes great.

Positive atmosphere OMG best cookies in town, One of the best macaroons in Beverly Hills, most definitely recommend to friends and family for a quick morning coffee.

The staff at this boutique are just as sweet as the fantastic treats they serve up! I had placed an order online, and I was having trouble with some of the shipping (due to delays from FedEx). Emily helped me out right away! She stayed in contact with me and made sure that my order would be delivered to its recipient, she provided me with excellent customer service that made me feel truly valued. I would highly recommend using their ordering service to surprise and delight your loved ones.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Emily!

So I’ve recently embarked on a journey to find the best tasting macaróns and it didn’t take long to find them haha! They are without a doubt, here at ‘Lette Macarons.
The texture, taste, and filling are superior to any I’ve ever had. It’s just right. Not to mention, for the price, they persuade me to come here over others. Bottega Louie’s dessert case may look visually appealing, but ‘Lette is the only place for me. Love love this bakery.
The most popular flavor is the «almond» macaron & it is my favorite as well!

One of the bests macaron shops. Texture and taste are great, they’re not extremely sugary sweet. The taste is not boring. Shell has light crunch on the outside and chewy towards the middle. The filling flavors are just a good balance. Recommended!

Cute little location hat makes it fun to browse all of the options.
I feel like I can only come here when I am not caring about money tho, because it is a little more on the expensive side for a dessert to bring home. Regardless mom and I quite enjoy these macarons.
Particularrly we choose the Lemon and Raspberry ones because they flavor is just unparalleled. You simply can not avoid smiling while eating them.
Getting a free sample of a flavor you know you wont like kinda sucks. If you got an option between a few that would be so prime.

Picked up a dozen for the out of towners that will be staying with me over the weekend.

Of the macaron places I’ve been to in LA, I would put ‘Lette near the top. While their packaging is not as beautiful as Bottega Louie’s, their macarons are much cheaper and just as good. Furthermore, if I want to buy smaller amounts, they have cute boxes to accommodate. For instance, I like to buy boxes of 2 as mini-​gifts, and ‘Lette has adorable little boxes for this occasion.
Still can’t beat the ones from Jin Patisserie, but for the quality and value, they are definitely the standard bearer in LA.

Customer service is awful! Macarons are consistent and each flavor is pretty distinct (they don’t all just taste sugary or have the same filling). I’ve been coming here before ‘lette was franchised and it was called, «Paulette’s». This time I’m helping out with a party and wanted to place a large order. The worker was NOT helpful. One of the displays I was interested in was a 60-​macaron roulette wheel. I asked a bunch of questions and the worker didn’t know – how many macarons are in each ring? What is the diameter of the entire tray? Do they fall out easily?
I understand that this is just a side job for their workers, and that they’re just there to handle cash and put macarons in a box. But that’s the ONLY thing they have to do. Know and explain about 15 flavors, and sell them either individually, by the half dozen, by the dozen or by 5 dozen. Quite inefficient experience.

Good, not great. The macarons taste good but they aren’t thaaat special. The flavors don’t stand out from one another much. They’re all very sweet, but the pistachio wasn’t very pistachio, earl grey not very earl grey, etc. I much prefer Chantal Guillon or Laduree, if you can get your hands on it.
Prices are macaron standard.

Lette is a cute, little macaron shop off of Beverly Blvd, right in the heart of Beverly hills. The macarons themselves are not only artfully decorated, and uniquely flavored, they also made with an amazing filling that really makes Lette macarons stand out amongst competitors. The filling has more of a gel consistency, than a frosting consistency, which helps the macarons have a sweet flavor without being overly sugary. Also, the filling is well infused with the flavor of the macaron, giving each macaron its own flavor.
My favorite flavors are the rose, earl grey and sweet wedding almond, but really you can’t go wrong. I also love that they are constantly changing the seasonal flavors– it is always fun to try something new when you walk into the store.
If I ever need a small gift for someone, I will go to Lette and pick up a box of 6 or 12 macarons in a variety of flavors. The boxes are adorable and can be tied with tiny ribbons available in many colors. I’ve also seen Lette make beautiful macaron arrangements, so I highly recommend contacting them if you are hosting an event.
The pricing is a little high, but not unreasonable at all, considering that macarons anywhere are expensive. These are the highest quality macarons I have encountered and I actually prefer them to the Laduree macarons I tried in Paris.

I was never a fan of macarons… until I tried ‘Lette. The macarons that they make here look AND taste good – which is a first for me. They have a great selection of flavors, and I decided to get a box of 6 (I think there’s a discount when you buy 6+ as opposed to 1). The boxes are super nice, btw. I chose my 6 macarons based on color instead of flavor, and I was surprised to find them all to be delicious! My favorites were the earl grey, pistachio, and vanilla. The only one that I thought was way too sweet was the caramel. But in general, the macarons here stood out to me because the cookie texture was PREFECT. It was crispy at the top, and as you bite into it, you bite into rich and delicious chewiness. So much better than any macaron I’ve ever tried (none of that overly crispy crumbliness). Flavors are subtle but definitely present, so you don’t get overwhelmed by the sugar, which I really appreciated.
Yes, the macarons are pricey, but ALL macarons are pricey. And I’m happy to say that I would gladly come back to ‘Lette to pay for more of their delicious macarons.

Solid three stars. Due to the high n-​mighty Unilocal reviews I had high expectations of this place… But it just didn’t deliver.
I purchased a dozen for $ 22.00
I chose almost all of their 14 flavors except for two: coconut and Rose.
The consistency of the outside layer is not that great, it could be a bit more crisp. The packaging advised to refrigerate it after consumption, I did and the following day, it tasted exactly the same as when I first took a bite… now, that can either be a good thing or a bad thing. But, to me, that’s a bad thing!
I was also excited to try their earl grey and the wedding flavor, but those two were just NOT to my liking! the wedding flavor looked pretty but tasted like roses!
My favorite flavor was the salted caramel, that’s it.
Overall flavor and texture just wasn’t there for me.
I will not be revisiting.

Cute, lovely, sweet!

Well-​made macarons, but the flavors just didn’t wow me overall. The macaron shells were crisp and shiny on the outside and perfectly soft and chewy on the inside, with an appropriate shell to filling ratio. Pretty colors and some of the flavors have a little extra flourish on the shells. The flavors are pretty standard here (vanilla, chocolate, caramel, coffee, tea, floral and fruit flavors), so nothing particularly unique.
My friend and I got 4 macarons to share between us. A single macaron is $ 1.95, which isn’t too bad compared to prices I’ve seen at other places. A box of 2 macarons, however, is $ 4, so you’re paying an extra 10 cents for the box.
========================
–SWEET ALMOND WEDDING — 2.5÷5
Apparently their most popular flavor, so I wanted to give it a taste. Oddly, out of the 4 macarons I sampled, this was the least sweet despite being called «sweet almond». I didn’t really mind it lacking in sweetness, but it was kind of bland in flavor in general.
–VIOLET CASSIS — ⁴⁄₅
My favorite of the bunch. A little too sweet but actually tasted like violet or something floral.
–SICILIAN PISTACHIO — 2.5÷5
Pretty sweet. Didn’t taste like pistachio though.
–EARL GREY — 2.5÷5
I love earl grey flavored things, but this tasted nothing like earl grey or any tea for that matter. Honestly, it tasted pretty similar to the pistachio. Disappointing :(

I have not actually been to this Lette location but someone bought me 1 dozen from here as a Christmas present (edible presents are definitely a good call, especially if you do not know what to give to someone). But I have been to the Lette in Pasadena numerous of times (as that location is much closer to my home than this one).
These macarons tasted just as wonderful as the ones I have purchased in Pasadena. Consistency is definitely key with a company as this one. My favorite flavor is still the Sweet Almond Wedding, which I am happy that the person who got me this gift made sure to include in the dozen I received (she didn’t know this was my favorite flavor, it just happened to be in the box). There were other wonderful flavors in the mix as well that my husband and mother enjoyed (can’t keep a good thing to myself now, especially during the season). I would have to say that my least favorite flavor has to be the Colombian coffee, as I am not a coffee drinker and not a fan of coffee flavored anything.
Macarons from Lette are probably my most favorite company that makes these sweet treats. I have had macarons from other places and even from France, but Lette still reigns champion for me. Why you ask? Because each macaron has the right amount of sweetness and perfect chewiness. Each macaron being so delicate and colorful, truly a perfect masterpiece that can be displayed on a plate or in one of their pretty little boxes. You can’t go wrong with macarons from Lette.

First thing’s first. A macaroon is a coconut desert enjoyed mostly on Passover. A macaron is a French confection served at ‘Lette and the subject of this review.
This very nice boutique is set up just a hop and skip from the busy South Beverly Drive. Full of endless flavors and cheerful employees. In order to get the best of my visit I opted for a box of six separate flavors. I wish I could say that I had a favorite, but in all honesty they were all rather flat in terms of flavor. The pied pieced themselves were beautifully baked. Shiny on the outside, crisp, and yet soft on the inside, but the filling just didn’t hit any high notes. Perhaps the best of them was the raspberry, but even that didn’t really satisfy.
Maybe, well, definitely, it’s a matter of taste and so I encourage you to try yourself and compare to others. Maybe a certain Bottega in downtown?

Came by here last week to get a quick bite of sugar to fix a mid afternoon slump.
The girls working was super nice, the store is tiny but well stocked with endless flavors.
I just wanted a bite and deciding on one is impossible, but I managed and went with the Almond Wedding Macaron.
Two bites for just under $ 2 is steep but I have seen Macarons cost more so its fine I guess.
Nicely packaged with care, they make a great gift for any girly girl.
I didn’t love the Macaron at all though.
Think it would have been better in any other flavor, I was not expecting it to be filled with marzipan, not my fav AT ALL.
It was soft, fresh and well made, just did not enjoy the flavor at all.
Won’t go out of my way to come back, but when I do I will be sure to avoid this flavor next time.

I went from hating macarons to becoming a self declared expert on them. Having had many brittle, gummy and über sweet ones from other locations in LA, I didn’t think I’d ever jump on the bandwagon. But after a trip to Paris in which I sampled the best of the best in macaron, I decided that I was a macaron aficionado and have carried on my quest for a good macaron in LA. I recently stumbled upon ‘Lette and think they might be my LA fave. My favorites were the sweet wedding almond, Caribbean chocolate and coconut. I tried the passion fruit and it tasted like a really good guava macaron, lol.
The shop is small and to the point. Macarons are about $ 2 a piece and are beautifully presented. Service was fine, and I was in and out fast, but I just happened to get lucky on parking (which is awful in this area)
I will definitely be back to get my petit sucre fix soon!

LET’S go to ‘Lette’s …
* GET — Caribbean Chocolate = ermahgerd ganache.
* GET — Colombian Coffee = mmm mmm mmm.
Light macarons with heavily-​flavorful fillings!
If I had the time or [stomach] space before our dinner, I woulda tried one of each flavor! Next time…
* WOA (words of advice):
— Free lot on east side of Beverly Drive
— Cute gift boxing
— Take-​out only, accepts credit cards

café de Colombie, chocolat des Caraibes, violette cassis and rose Macarons are my favorite flavors. Pricey but well worth the money!
