Chelles Macarons

I visited the location at Dallas Famers Market last weekend. It’s located inside of The Market and you’ll have to walk all the way to the back to find the store. The store display was beautiful and neat. You get to see all of the macaron flavors behind the glass. Chelles offers about 12+ flavors such as lemon, lavender, pistachio, red velvet, salted caramel, lychee, green tea, etc. I found lychee and lavender quite unique since I have never had these two flavors. Me and my boyfriend shared a box of 6 macarons which were lychee, red velvet, lavender, salted caramel, and fruity pebbles. My favorites were salted caramel and lavender. Not sure if I got the bad batch of lychee, red velvet and fruity pebble… the macaron shells were cracked and hollow. The inconsistency of the macaron shells really disappointed me and the lychee macaron tasted nothing like lychee. However, the salted caramel and lavender ones were very smooth and tasty. I think I will stick with these two flavors and avoid the other ones. Not bad for the price and the unique flavors.

Best macarons in town!!!

Okay, quick update because I’m ungrateful and didn’t realize that these would be the best macs I’d be able to find in the area. The inconsistent sizes are still annoying seeing as last time I went the girl forced a huge macaron into my box, so when I opened the box it was all crushed up. BUT I have found more flavors (other than vanilla) that I really like: fruity pebbles, raspberry, and passion fruit. So basically I can once again justify the 30 min drive just for these macarons!

Given its ratings, I was super excited to finally get a chance to try Chelles Macarons; however, upon trying the macarons, I was disappointed. The macarons were inconsistent. I got the fruity pebble, lemon, chocolate, pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla. The fruity pebble one is my favorite — it actually tastes like fruity pebbles and had a nice bite to it. The other macarons were hollow and cracked upon first bite. And the chocolate macaron tasted more like a brownie than macaron. Because macarons are so fickle, it could be that I came on a bad day! *tears*

My friend bought me some macarons as a gift and my oh my, they were extremely delicate and a ‘melt in your mouth’ desert. I especially loved the pistachio flavor but all other flavors were up to par.

This place is such a gem!
It was hidden but we found it (:
There was a woman and a man and both were very accommodating and kind.
6 macarons for $ 12
A dozen macaroni for $ 20 was well worth the price. They were fresh and yummyyy
The place wasn’t fully decorated or «ready» for opening, but who cares, as long as I get my macarons!
They aren’t that small, pretty sizable actually, so I was satisfied with that!
The woman was making macarons (there were tons of them)
There were 6 flavors and so I got 2 of each.
I thought the rose and the guava/​grapefruit flavors were a bit weird tasting. but the vanilla, as lame as it sounds, was pretty good!
My favorite was pistachio, it was pretty strong!
The freshness lasted a couple of days so it was good, just make sure to keep them in the fridge!

Another bad guy here :(
based only on Unilocal reviews i got 48 macaroons from here to repackage as favors for a birthday party i was hosting.
I loved the boxes they came in but felt the pricing was a bit too high for what are essentially cookies. My favourite was the vanilla as well followed by the salted caramel.
Unfortunately i was underwhelmed by these macaroons. There are a lot of people describing them as «amazing» and that was just not my experience. I was very underwhelmed actually.
All that said, i’m pretty hard to impress when it comes to dessert and can count on one hand the number of times i thought a dessert was «amazing». I’m also big on high flavor lower sugar type desserts which are pretty hard (expensive) to mass produce.
So, try Chelles, and make up your own mind. i suspect most people would be more impressed than i was.

1^st we had the cupcake craze, then we moved to cake pops, then back to cupcakes, then gourmet popcorn, then back to cupcakes… now I think macarons and speciality popsicles are battling for the #1 spot on the cool treats list. I’m darn happy about it too; I could eat a bazillion macarons and be oh so happy.
Look for the Jersey Mike’s off 75 (West side) — Chelles is right next door; find the Craft Kitchen sign (love the kitchen’s concept too) and you’re there. Vanilla bean was the winner followed by the salted caramel. They didn’t have as many flavors out as I thought they would — I really wanted pistachio and vanilla bean (favs) so I’m glad I got to try the vanilla. I also tried the raspberry cheesecake (I think) and a coffee. Specialty price point: $ 11 for 6 macarons. Give them a whirl.

Absolutely amazing! Some of the best macaroons I have ever tasted.
I went to the kraft kitchen the first time and got a sample pack. I had never had macaroons and had no idea what I was doing or what the flavors were like. The lady explained what they were and their flavors. I was skeptical about trying the passionfruit and key lime ones they had that day because I am a very picky person but they were awesome!
I checked this place out on a recommendation from my friend (whom I happen to be the maid of honor for) and was looking for a party favor for her shower. I emailed Chelles and they worked with me to come up with a quantity and price that worked for me. Even after me emailing four different times to change the quantity, she updated and sent a new invoice almost immediately and was incredibly understanding which I am very thankful for.
The best part? They created a custom flavor/​color for my friend’s bridal shower! It was a Tiffany theme and we came up with «mac packs» of one Tiffany blue colored one and a white one. The white was vanilla bean and the Tiffany blue was Cinnamon. Honestly, the Cinnamon ones were my favorite ones that I have had from there and I wish it was a permanent flavor. It was phenomenal and the vanilla bean was amazing as well. The favors were a hit.
If I had any complaints whatsoever, it would be that there needs to be a location or better yet a store front in Frisco where I live so I can go more often! I have tried other places closer to where I live and they don’t even begin to compare to Chelles.

I love french macaroons but I don’t over indulge in them because I get tired of them quick… but Chelles I could have a dozen of you every day!
They don’t have their store yet… but when I was talking to Christina? she said that they are planning to open a permanent store in the downtown area. I’m happy for them but that is way too far for me! Right now they’re selling at Farmer’s markets (Dallas, Richardson, and Fairview). Fairview is only 10 minutes away from me! I stopped by early Saturday morning to grab a dozen and she had samples all ready to go for all flavors. I tried blood orange, raspberry, strawberry cheesecake, and passion fruit. They were all delicious and the macaroons itself were perfectly airy yet had a nice chew to them. I can tell the flavors tasted very natural and not artificial. My favorites were the blood orange and passion fruit. A dozen is only $ 20 and they accept credit cards! The packaging is absolutely adorable and would make a beautiful gift on its own.
I hope to try the other flavors soon!

Chelle’s macarons never fails me! Her macarons are so good and the ganache is perfect. I took the macaron apart and it was moist inside and you could tell it was fresh. The ganache taste’s exactly as the name of the flavor says. If it is green tea macaron, the filling taste’s like green tea. The flavors I enjoy are Rasberry and Vanilla. Even though they are a bit pricey, the quality of the macarons exceed the ones of other locations. Also, she is super nice and you won’t find any negative service at Chelle’s!
One thing that I recommend is that picking up the macarons is your best bet. This is because the Kraft Kitchen isn’t that large. It has about 10 chairs in the place. Also, if you do want to stay, bring your own water. It is just in a pitcher in a fridge, I assume, provided by Kraft Kitchen.

Every time I make a trip back to Dallas, I always need to go to the Farmers Market to satisfy my Chelles craving. Chelles Macarons are seriously on point in terms of texture, taste, & flavor originality and accuracy. Rochelle, the owner, has worked super, super hard to perfect her macs over the years, and it is not difficult to see (or taste) it in just a bite!
The texture of the macarons is perfect — the shell of the macaron is light, delicate, and cracks like an eggshell, while the inside is soft and melts in your mouth. Many times, I come across macarons that are tough and chewy through and through, but I’ve never experienced that as Chelles.
Some of the flavors Chelles produces are inspired by the owner’s Filipino-​Asian background — you can find flavors ranging from blood orange to pumpkin spice to rose to matcha green tea to black sesame. The flavors are definitely accurate — I gave a friend some macs, and she said the flavor of the pumpkin spice mac was perfect, like she was eating a pumpkin pie. My favorite flavors thus far have been mint chocolate (loved the thick ganache filling) and black sesame (this is AMAZING). My boyfriend, who failed to see the appeal of macarons when he tried them in France, actually really enjoyed eating these macs — he ate almost a dozen in an hour (it was sort of gross to watch, but I think I did the same thing).
The prices of her macs are also great relative to other places — for $ 20, you can purchase a dozen, and for $ 11 you can purchase a half-​dozen. Customer service is also onnn point — the employees are very particular about which macarons they sell you, choosing the ones that are «ready» and have the perfect textures.
I’m super excited to try the new flavors and to see this business grow!

Chelles macarons are the bomb. If you haven’t try it, you’re missing out. I heard so many good things about Chelles that I had to check them out at Dallas Farmers market. They also have a stand at Richardson and Fairview Farmers market. Like everyone, my favorite flavor is the vanilla bean. The strawberry cheesecake and black sesame are also unbelievable. For $ 11 you can get ½ a dozen or a dozen for $ 20. The price is comparable to their competitors.
This is really my favorite macaron place in DFW. They serve as a great treat for parties, weddings, or just snacking in general. I highly recommend Chelles to everyone. She knows her macarons.

So this place is my tummy obsession with these macaroons. I heard about these from other Unilocalers and this did not disappoint. I had the vanilla, salted caramel, mint chocolate, passion fruit and black sesame. The vanilla and black sesame were excellent so much so that I had to go back the next day for more. They have a storefront in Richardson. They also sell at farmers markets around Dallas. The service was really nice and helpful. I can’t wait to try the other flavors.

Loved her Macarons! Very nice and soft with the perfect touch of crisp.
Experience: Rochelle’s Location is in the Kraft Kitchen which is basically a Kitchen Rental for several other business owners (other foodies as you can say) The place is nice and small. I wouldn’t recommend bringing a group of 4−6+ here mainly because it’s kind of a place where you buy your food and go. The people there were really nice and location was convenient.
Food: AWESOME Macarons. I would suggest to get the most recently made ones, they are the softest and the most tasty! I personally enjoy the Coffee and Passion Fruit flavors. They all were pretty good though! she sells a package of 6 for 11 dollars, and 12 for 20 dollars. (macarons are EXPENSIVE, but they are so goooood)
Service: We had to wait a little (like 10~ mins) she was out on a delivery, but it was totally worth the wait! She was very nice to us and even organized the Macarons in a beautiful, picture-​friendly way.
Definitely recommend this place!

I first saw chelles macaron on Instagram a month ago. I finally made it out to try her macarons. Finding this place was a headache because I went to the address on Unilocal first thinking it was the address to the Richardson farmers market. It was actually the address to the kitchen she bakes out of and its a pick up location appointment or weekday sales only. When I couldn’t find the place, I called the number from Unilocal.She told me they were at fairview farm shop during weekends. At first I thought fairview was 30 mins away from plano so I told her I would have to make the trip another day. But then I looked up the address from her website and turns out! It was only 12 minutes north. I drove all the way to plano, what’s another ten going to hurt?
They are a vendor inside farm shop. Farm shop is right next to old navy. The address is either 113 prarie rd fairview, tx or 231 n Stacy rd McKinney tx (old navy) my gps didn’t recognize the first address so try the second one if you can’t locate the first. Old navy is near ipic theatre. It was hard work finding this place but it was worth it!!! Come early if you want first pick at flavors!!!
Since I had so much trouble getting here I had to order a dozen to get my drive worth! The prices are a steal! A dozen for $ 20!!! You could get half for $ 11. For individual macarons I think they’re $ 2 each. I’m not sure, I didn’t pay attention because honestly, who just eat one macaron? I got a dozen for myself! They were sweet enough to throw two free ones in there since I almost cried when I got there lol. I wanted to shed tears of joy for finally finding them!!! I tried sample of cranberry macaron and that was bomb!!! It had so much flavor! I got a few of those and I took the last chocolate. Got a few mango blossoms and green tea along with a pumpkin spice and two black sesame. I’m going to go into a diabetic shock after eating a dozen by myself. I’m such a fatty! Maybe I’ll split up the sugar intake and eat a few each day! Or maybe I could share but I don’t want to!!! ALL MINE!!!
Two hours later and I have had one of each flavor! They’re all flavorful and delicious! These macaroons texture are dead on. Crunchy shell and soft inside with filling… perfect with tea!!!

Finally Dallas has their own mac place! I’ve tried macarons from all over the place, and I’ve gotta say, these are my favorite! They’re full of robust flavors and not overpowered by sugary sweetness!
Matcha Green Tea, Black Sesame, Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla are my favorites! Pumpkin Spice and Apple Butter are limited fall flavors, so snag them before they’re gone!
Did you know Chelles caters and does delivery too? Visit their website for more details! For the next baby shower or wedding shower that I plan, I will def be working Chelles into the menu!

Found these tasty macarons at the Richardson Farmer’s market and I kid you not, her vanilla bean ones are the best! I bought a dozen for $ 20 (steal deal) and I devoured most of them that evening. The cookie part is perfectly crisp, not too tough. The inside filling is seriously delicious, not too sweet. My other favorites are the salted caramel and black sesame. Packaging is simplistic yet modern. I’d definitely purchase a dozen for a friend or colleague.
Hoping you’ll have the green tea one at my next visit!

Please advise this is not a store but is at the Richardson farmers market.
I bought the black sesame macaron for $ 2. The size was like a normal macaron size. The taste was great! I wish I bought more because I don’t know when I’ll come back. Not only was the filling, black sesame but the shell was made with black sesame too. Next time I will get more and just in case you’re wondering. I don’t know the folks who own this biz.
If the owners are reading I would like to make a suggestion. When a customer pays for the item (s). Please have one person dealing with the customer. It was a bit weird when someone (other than the person giving me the macaron) snatched the money. I know it wasn’t intentional which is why I didn’t knock off a star. Good luck with the biz!

Disclaimer: Chelle’s macarons are started by my friends. BUT that being said, I would not post a review if I couldn’t be honest about their product. Promise! So these words and opinions are all mine & are true. And I’ll try my best not to be biased!
I was lucky to be able to test these babies from the beginning. We had 2 rounds of shipments to assorted destination & honestly, the first test was a bit bumpy. Why? Because they were trying to ship in the middle of HOT Texas summer. Ice packs, packaging, etc. The texture of the macarons definitely changed in shipment. Overly-​ambitious? Maybe.
But after much feedback & modifications, I got a second shipment from Dallas to Austin & they were the perfect macarons! I absolutely loved them!
Here’s what I have to say about the macarons.
1) AWESOME flavors. Completely unique. Not your everyday flavors. salted caramel, black sesame, PUMPKIN SPICE, rose, matcha green tea, MANGO blossom, chocolate, vanilla bean, key lime, cookies & cream. My personal favorite of the ones I’ve had, SALTED CARAMEL. Can’t go wrong with that. Hubby’s favorite: Matcha green tea. BEST PART: not overly-​sweet filling so you can actually enjoy the flavor.
2) Texture and sizes. They have the texture SPOT ON. I’ve had macarons with dry shells before… you know, where the outside is like a wall & then it completely falls apart when you eat it? And when there are huge air pockets in the middle. NOPE. not with Chelle’s macarons. Perfectly chewy, the way they should be. Fillings are generous. The size of each macaron is slightly bigger than ones I’ve had at other pastry shops.
3) Price: pack of 6 macarons for $ 11; pack of 12 for $ 20. I’ll do the math for you. $ 1.83 a pop for the 6; $ 1.66 a pop for the 12. DUH get the 12. A STEAL. Thought in my head: «Get them now before they get too popular & raise their prices!»
4) They use new equipment that they bought just for the business & have a clean kitchen. No need to be wary of these home bakers.
5) OK, this is where I can get a bit biased. THE PEOPLE. They are absolutely wonderful. They care about their macaron quality & they really love their food so they know what their customers expect. In the questionnaires they gave for the test runs, they asked everything about the look of the macaron, to the taste, to texture, and price. And they really incorporated our feedback into their company. Go meet them at the farmer’s & you’ll see for yourself. Rochelle, the master baker, is a sweetheart & super friendly & loves dogs. Gotta love a girl who loves dogs!
HUSBANDS, BOYFRIENDS, GIRLFRIENDS, FRIENDS— get these for your loved ones and you will not regret it!!! :) Just surprise them randomly :)
