Le Macaron

It’s not as amazing as it looks. I’ve had much better macarons (and at a cheaper cost) at local coffee shops and bakeries. Such a disappointment! $ 2.40/macaron.

I am so disappointed with this place. I have been looking all over trying to find macarons close to where I live. I finally found a place. I paid 10 dollars for 4 and they were the worst macarons I’ve ever had. They were hard as a rock and had no flavor. I’ve never had a macaron like that. For being so pricy you would think they were made of gold. I don’t see them being open for very much longer.

Came across this place on a Monday 2÷29÷16 and was surprise this macaroon shop was inside the Galleria mall but it’s been awhile I’ve been on this side of town. The cashier was very friendly and quite knowledgable but the macaroons we had were okay in flavor and the texture was consistent for the most part just not with a fresh taste like Manon in the West side of town but overall the atmosphere and presentation of the dessert is what drew us in.

Disappointment. Mainly because it was overpriced and also not «fresh». There is really no flavor and just does not feel authentic. I’ve had real macarons before– this just doesn’t cut it. Their portions are small and the filling seemed factory made. I am pretty particular about authenticity… but it annoys me when they can’t even spell the ingredients right. Please fix it, the french would be offended! Its spelled LYCHEE. NOT LITCHY. Never again until they sell REAL macarons. Also overpriced. Not paying for something NOT cooked on site.

So I was really iffy about trying out this place because of the reviews, but man am I glad I did.
Everyone is giving them bad reviews because of the price, but honestly if you are familiar w/​macaroons this is normal pricing. Or maybe I just love them and don’t mind splurging on $ 50 worth of them. Anyways, I only tried four this time to see if I was going to like them. I got their pistachio, chocolate, raspberry and salted caramel. All had really good flavor and not overly sweet at all! I promise you guys that I hate overly sweet stuff and this was not it. Take this review from someone who knows & LOVES macaroons. Most likely will be back. Especially since Vegas lacks of places who carry good macaroons. Only issue was, when I asked where their macaroons were shipped from the girl clearly did NOT know anything.

How do you not buy macaroons when you see rows and rows of it? Especially when there is a crowd gathered around the showcase.
I made a sharp right as soon as I saw this place and eyed up the macaroons, the chocolates, and the Gelato. I knew what I was here for, it was what attracted me, the macaroons.
I cased the flavors and was approached by a worker immediately. I asked her how they sell the macaroons, and she replied, «you can purchase as many as you want, they are $ 2.40 a piece» disclaimer BTW, might be off on the price… lol I will tell you I paid $ 15 for 6 macaroons. Yes, very expensive. I heard one of the workers saying it is flown in from France.
The verdict, yes, the macaroons are delicious. A bit small for the price, but yes, they are good. Soft and gooey the way I like it. But, since this place is not in my neighborhood, I wouldn’t crave it. I would come by only if I was perusing this mall. I’m sort of mad at myself for spending as much ad I did on dessert… waaaaah

Loved their macaroons! I had never tried them so I was given a sample. They were a little pricey but it’s Vegas so what the heck! The staff was helpful and funny!

Walking around looking for new kicks can get exhausting. We were heading back when I noticed this store. Didn’t even hesitate turning right into this cute little shop. Although there wasn’t anyone to immediately greet us, I didn’t really care as I was drooling over the beautiful selection of macarons.
A older lady comes walking out from the back and I’m not even sure if she said hello. Oh well, because I was still fixated at the selections. She might have said something but my only senses active were the eyes.
Anyway, we opted for the gingerbread and Columbian coffee. While I appreciated my gingerbread because it wasn’t overlysweet as well as its texture, I didn’t really enjoy the refrigerated temp. Is the glass casing a cooler or something? Then I tried my husband’s choice of macaron and his tasted even much more colder than mine was. Then I wondered if these macarons are made in shop because it certainly did not have that homely macaron vibe i like. A cold pastry or such dessert hinders you from being able to experience it properly. The temp changes its texture and may even mask it’s flavor a bit.
For the 2 macarons it came out to either 5.19 or 5.91. I forgot, dyslexia and amnesia just kicked in. But pretty steep for something unmemorable. The only memory I have was how refrigerated it tasted with a hint of ginger from my macaron.
I wouldn’t drive out my way just to come here, and I don’t recommend you doing the same to be honest. Wanted to love it, just didnt. Doubt I’ll go in for a second shot because I prefer dropping my money on the ones which don’t taste fresh out the freezer/​fridge. Besides, there are lots of local shops who make their own macarons in shop across the valley for a more memorable experience. Had my macaron been at a warmer temp, maybe I’d have something different to type.
Should’ve went to cinnabon.

I had trouble deciding what overall rating to give since I found the product to be inconsistent.
I visited this chain in St. Petersburg, Florida awhile back and thought it was really great. When I saw Henderson was getting one I knew I’d have to give it a try. The woman working was friendly and offered samples of the products to everyone stopping in.
The number of flavors offered is outstanding. There must have been 30 flavors of macarons. All of the colors and flavors are appealing which made it hard to choose. I ended up getting Pistachio, Black Currant, Chestnut, and Lavender. Here’s where it got weird.
Pistachio– amazing flavor, but consistency is wrong
Black Currant– wrong consistency and tastes like what I imagine perfume to taste like
Chestnut– wrong consistency, but okay flavor
Lavender– great texture and great flavor
The shop doesn’t keep it a secret that they aren’t baking in house. The macarons are made at a central location and brought in frozen. This is why I think the flavors and textures were so inconsistent. The macarons are probably perfect if you get the flavors that have just arrived and are still fresh. If you choose a flavor that has been there a couple of days then it won’t be as good. I’ve been to many macaron places and find that this is a product best enjoyed a day, maybe two days after baked.
The macarons are priced at $ 2.40 a piece so getting a nice selection will add up quickly. I’m indifferent to the price. It seems like a lot for one macaron, but this is in line with what other bakeries charge for the same product.
To get the best experience I’d suggest asking what flavors have just come in and try sticking to those.

Have you ever tried to make macarons? I have. It was a disaster. I ended up with a cookie sheet full of pink goo.
Went on Sunday 11−8−15 cuz’ I was wanting something sweet for me and my boy. This store is located on the second level of the Galleria mall between Guess and See’s Candies. I got four macarons for $ 10.38. I tried the black currant, lemon, chocolate, and my boy ate the vanilla one.
These are by far the best macarons I’ve ever tasted. Flavorful, that signature crunch on the outside, fluffy on the inside… I loved every bite. My favorite was the black currant.
I also saw a couple of pastries in the case, gelato, and some of the prettiest chocolates I’ve ever seen. They have some ridiculously cute packaging if you want to give them as a gift to someone. Minus one star cuz’ they are freakin’ expensive. I realize their rent is probably high because they’re in the mall but dang.

Cute little shop on the top floor of the Galleria Mall, next to See’s. Besides macarons, they have pastries, gourmet chocolates, caramels, chocolate covered coffee beans, and gelato. They also have coffee drinks.
I came for the macarons. I liked the variety of flavors, but couldn’t understand why «litchy» was listed as a flavor. I assume they meant lychee, but this was kinda tacky. Anyway I chose 4: gingerbread, chocolate, coffee and coconut cream. My favorite was the coffee, the filling was sweet and creamy, unlike the others that were gummy. Now I am reading that they do not bake on site, and it is painfully obvious. For the price ($ 2.40) a piece, I don’t think it is worth it.

As a part of the Thank Galleria It’s Friday events in October, I had the opportunity to get samples twice. After dinner at Bravo!, we decided to return to Le Macaron and make a few purchases. Here is the skinny.
You will pay an extra $.50 for the plastic gift box. Didn’t know that. Since I was just purchasing for me, that would have been a nice heads up.
The macarons are $ 2.70 for one and the price goes down as you purchase more. I purchased salted caramel, rose, strawberry, and lavender. The texture was different than I expected. I enjoyed the light flaky outside and the soft chewy inside.
It felt like a decadent treat. But alas, I am not a decadent treat kind of girl. For me, the interesting texture and original flavors were not enough to justify $ 10 for 4 macarons.
Unless I need a special gift for someone, I likely won’t be back.

Large selection of flavors, somewhat friendly staff, cute shop. In addition to the bitesize namesake treats, they also offer ice cream/​gelato (labeled one thing, tasted like the other), and a variety of chocolates. I like that the spot was nicely decorated for the upcoming Halloween holiday.
Vast selection of macaron flavors made it hard to decide: ultimately opted for basil white chocolate (muddled but okay), Colombian coffee (lower end of average), lutchi (which seemed to mean lychee?), and rose petal (neither of which had any flavor at all), packed in their 4-​piece gift box (which they didn’t fit into).
Salesperson who helped us was polite, until she got frustrated that their macarons don’t easily fit in the provided boxes, at which point she passed us off to another employee– who also had difficulty and ultimately gave us cracked macs. Glad it wasn’t really a gift… perhaps they should resize the cookies smaller or go with a different box, as this clearly wasn’t a one-​time issue.
NOTE: They do not bake on-​site, these treats are flown in. Filling consistency was off, probably due to being frozen. I’ll stick to local bakeries that do it better. There’s no reason to brag about your batter being «made in France» if the execution renders a lesser product.

Le Macaron is a specialty store selling French-​style macarons, chocolates, and gelato inside the Galleria Mall in Henderson. The location is convenient and the place is easy enough to get to, so there are no issues there.
Staff:
The staff are nice, attentive, and competent about the products they sell. They will be happy to oblige you a sample of anything you wish to try, prior to making a purchase, which is nice.
Product:
The macarons, for the most part, are pretty delicious. They do have a couple of off flavors, however, so be careful what you ask for. I have tried the grand marnier, the chocolate, the mint chocolate, the coconut, and the vanilla bean. All were quite delicious. HOWEVER… At $ 2.90 a macaron (which are the size of a 50 cent piece) it gets expensive quickly. It is over $ 50 for a dozen of these babies, and I’m not willing to drop that much cash on something that is a «one-​bite and done» thing.
So overall, yes they are very good, but bring money!

Some pleasant surprises during a surprise visit today, but not enough to set them apart.
I’ve avoided going to Le Macaron due to initial lukewarm reception from friends, but I ended up here today anyway. My mom wanted some munchies while shopping at the Galleria mall, and I thought she’d appreciate this place the most out of all the options. It’s on the 2^nd floor on the JCPenney/Macy’s side of the mall, and it’s near such notable landmarks as the mall’s Starbucks and an elevator.
Her initial selections were the lattice apple pastry ($ 1.70), the madeleine ($ 1.80), and the coffee ($ 2.00). The lattice apple actually had a bit of crispiness on the crust, and the apple flavor was prominent. The madeleine was buttery and light on the inside and also was crispy on the outside. I definitely wouldn’t mind eating either of those treats again.
I tasted the hot coffee too, and it was nothing too special. It’s just something to accompany the pastries, if you’re into that sort of thing. I’ve started to appreciate cold brews lately, and this doesn’t hold a candle to them.
Frankly, those pastries didn’t satisfy either of us for the moment, so I went back for more. I should note that there aren’t any seats or tables nearby, so we had to walk around to find some benches near the Foot Locker. Out of the roughly 20 available flavors of macarons, I picked out the raspberry and the lavender ($ 2.40 each). I liked the presentation — they stacked the macarons in a compact plastic sleeve and sealed with a store logo sticker. The stated flavors on both macarons were easily discernible, and the shells’ exterior had a crunch, but the interior was far too moist. Also the lavender cream was a bit too sweet and only very subtly lavender-​y.
If the store wasn’t named Le Macaron, I could justify giving four stars. Since their namesake item wasn’t impressive, I am giving only three stars. It’s not going to be a destination for me even though I live nearby. It’s just a snack option for mall visits or a dessert option to follow the currently dessert-​less Gen Korean BBQ, which is an easy stroll away.

Pricey but pretty good. I really liked the pistachio and lemon macaroons. I would come here again for a special occasion or gift.

I was turned off when I wasn’t greeted initially. You would think a newer business would be putting some effort into gaining new customers. After almost leaving I had to initiate an interaction by inquiring about pricing.
Lucky for them and me I really wanted some macarons!
I really liked their macarons. I’m no pastry expert but their interpretation is my favorite. They have unique flavors or maybe just marketing. Italian pistachio sounds way better than plain ol’ pistachio.
Their cookies are done right. I really enjoyed them. At about $ 2.40 per cookie they are definitely a treat. A half dozen was just around $ 15.
I would definitely go back for their delicious macarons regardless of how unfriendly the staff was.

Small storefront in the mall, but nicely organized and very clean. The two French ladies working in the shop when I stopped by were very nice. No high pressure sales tactic here, just courteous and professional.
They obviously offers Macarons (dough/​batter made in France, shipped to Miami and bakde in their facility there and shipped to their retail outlets around the USA. So obviously it will be frozen, if not it will be after spending hours in the near freezing pressurized underbelly of the jet from MIA to LAS. Unless you are getting it completely locally made, chances are all the French made Macarons will be previously frozen (even some of the locally made ones are kept in the freezers if production volume is high enough).
What I like about the Macarons here is the variety, some are classic flavors (i.e., Sicilian Pistachio, Columbian Coffee, Salted Caramel, Grand Marnier and Raspberry), as well as, more exotic flavors (i.e., Candied Ginger and Basil White Chocolate).
They also sell chocolate bon bons, gelato and variety of dragees and flavored caramel and Nougats. In fact, they make dragees and caramel candies that are rebranded and sold at other well known and established French patisseries on the Strip.
I only been here once and only purchased an assorted varieties of Macarons. But they were good and even at $ 2.40 ($ 2.90 if placed in the clear plastic gift containers) a piece, it is worth it as an occasional special treat. The size of each Macaron is slightly larger and noticeably thicker than the ones I bought at other patisseries I have visited in the past. Each Macaron has a nice crispy cookie crust and moist chewy center with the ganache piped in the center.
*Cassis (Black Currant) is simply amazing.
*Salted Caramel is good.
*Columbian Coffee was good with my homemade cold brewed iced coffee.
*Candied Ginger was interesting, but not one of my favorites (maybe that was why it was 2 for the price of 1).
*Lavender was exquisite. Just enough floral without being overpowering.
*Mint is highly recommended.
*Sicilian Pistachio is literally the best pistachio Macaron I’ve ever tried.
If you have problem decide what to get, simply ask for samples, but don’t be like the pair of cheap ass teenagers that came in just for free samples without any intention of making any purchases (I guess the two worst things that they could have done was wreck the store or stole stuff from the shelves on their way out).
Anyway, Sunset Galleria Mall is kind of a long drive for most, but if you are in the neighborhood like after stuffing your face with Korean BBQ from the new KBBQ restaurant that just opened outside, by all means come inside the mall and check this place out!

Macaron fever has finally hit inside Sunset Galleria Mall! This cute and colorful shop sells an array of pretty pastel and bright colored cookie sandwiches with many classic and exotic flavors to choose from.
–Deets–
Macarons are not made on premises but were flown in from Florida. Made from scratch with almond flour. No artificial flavors or preservatives. That’s good to know.
They had a bunch of interesting flavors like black currant and Basil White Chocolate and Mango Passionsomething
Chose rose petals and the lavender macaron. The textures were there, outer shell light crunch, interior light.
–Minor issues — -
1. Tasted fresh but couldn’t help but notice filling was slightly cold and damp, like it was just thawed out? Didn’t get any rose flavor from rose macaron and the lavender was really subtle in the other macaron. Just a little disappointed.
2. Both macaron fillings were incredibly sweet. The two I had was more than enough sugar for me.
3. The sales employee pronouncing the product they sell wrong and not knowing the difference between Macaron and MacarOOn. Most people don’t know, but if you work there ya think you would at least pronounce it right.
–Summary–
At 2.40 each, it’s pricey but doable. Worth it? The ones I had, not so much. If I am at the mall I would probably stop by and check out the other French treats they have to offer. But honestly I’d rather hit up our local bakery.

I’m a sucker for macarons. It’s probably close to the same feeling as being in a jewelry store and getting hypnotized by diamonds in the display case… except in this case, they’re a colorful array of beautiful, artisanal-​sounding French pastries.
This place just opened on the 2^nd level of the Galleria mall. The nice lady behind the counter informed me they were a franchise; their locations are mostly Florida-​based, but slowly expanding out west. They also offer specialty chocolates, gelato, and other baked goods like croissants, but why go into a store called Le Macaron if you’re not gonna try a macaron?
They’re $ 2.40 each, which is a little pricey compared to bakeries that are local. Additionally, most places have a deal if you buy a box set, but this placed doesn’t. Priced individually.
In the end, I got a box of 6: sicilian pistachio, lemon, lavender white chocolate, belgian chocolate, madagascar black vanilla, and raspberry. The raspberry was falling apart when I got home. Updated review to come.
