Marche de Macarons

I am not usually a connoisseur of macarons, but I think Marche de Macarons has made me become just that. After a recommendation from our bnb host, Marche de Macarons was our first stop when arriving in Savannah for a long weekend (first stop was unplanned, but it was definitely destiny!) The shop itself is fairly ordinary, a small table in the shop houses merchandise on one wall, but the pastry case of Macarons is the focus point. There’s one small table in shop as well as a handful outside (I’d recommend taking the macarons to go and enjoying them at one of the local squares). We ordered a bag of six macaroons, $ 1.99/piece and went with:
Raspberry – second favorite *tie* great, filled with a raspberry jelly consistency with seeds.
Chocolate Hazelnut – this was our least favorite, the texture of the macaron was off and tasted like it’d been sitting a while.
Blackberry Lavender – good mouth feel but lacking on the flavor, good taste but would’ve loved that extra punch that some of the others offered.
Rose Cardamom – my FAVORITE! Amazing flavor and mouth feel, so unique and delicious.
Jasmine Passion Fruit – second favorite *tie*, great flavor, just wish it was a touch bolder.
Cappuccino – great, I just preferred their fruitier flavors more.
Highly recommend a visit to Marche de Macarons, they’re perfecting the craft of macarons here and I can’t wait to return!

I was astonished after reading these reviews and stopping in.
See, my girlfriend and I have traveled a lot and everywhere we go we usually look for a local place making macarons. We look for three to five meals a day be it light snacks or full breakfast. But never do we miss an opportunity in a new city or port of call, to find macarons, it’s just our thing! Like sitting on the floor of the candle isle and spending an hour sniffing them all– we eat a lot of macarons!
This being said we rushed into this shop with a bakery in the back, the place was cute and the staff friendly. The flavors sounded great too!
We dove in of course getting at least six.
These were some of the worst macarons we have ever ever ever tried from this or any country, any state and any city.
The cookie was hardened sugar that stuck to your teeth like bad cotton candy, the filling was like chewing on a dense caramel that had solidified over the course of a few days, this is exactly what you don’t want a macaron to be.
I would never go back nor recommend this place. The banana foster was different to hear but again it wasn’t a good cookie. The flavor was there but the texture and sugar content was an offense to my mouth.
We visited three states and five cities this trip alone and got macarons in 3 or 4 different spots. The cookies from this Savannah joint were the worst by far.
Several local Savannah shops and stores carry these pieces of garbage as we explored quite a bit and stumbled upon them a few times. Please do not be fooled, this product is garbage. Perhaps being January they don’t give a damn and nothing is all too fresh (?) but don’t sell me them and charge an arm and a leg for hardened crap you can’t call a cookie or a macaron.
Macarons are hard to make, but these were even harder to eat. That’s saying something.
We are very disappointed and out $ 15-​$ 20. (And quite a few wasted calories)

I had never had macaroons before and someone got these as a gift for my family. They were terrific! And I will definitely buy macaroons from them in the future!

This is an adorable little shop hidden around the corner from Leopolds. I have had macaroons from all over but these are the amazing. The Bananas Foster flavor is life changing. Go get some now!

Gluten free and very tasty, but also a bit expensive. Fortunately you get what you pay for, and that includes some great customer service from the friendly face behind the counter. Perfect place to grab a snack to-​go that you can enjoy in any of the beautiful little squares in the historic district.

This is my favorite place to get macarons, I stop by every time in in Savannah to grab a few. They have the best texture they’re nice and crisp outside then gooey and finally rich and creamy in the center, they are absolutely delightful. Some of my favorites (if I can only pick a few) have been the bananas foster, the tybee turtle, bourbon pecan and chocolate hazelnut.

Oh. My. Macaron!
Oddly this was my first macaron experience and I don’t think I could have been luckier. My friend literally dragged me there when she found out I had never had a macaron and I was greeted with a delightful assortment of deliciousness.
The lavender one was my most favorite but I tried at least 6 different ones and loved every single one of them. What a great place and amazing macaron chef!!!

Absolutely delicious. Perfect for the macaroon lover or anyone with a sweet tooth.
Wide variety of assortment and very helpful staff.
I absolutely recommend picking up a variety of flavors in a box when you visit the store; well worth it! Make sure you try the Tybee Turtle, that was my favorite.

Really enjoyed the Bourbon Pecan Macaron and the Bananas Foster that we picked up yesterday! Would
return back.

I love, love love macarons and Marche de Macarons delivered!
We stopped in and I decided on a 8 count gift box (around $ 16.but i mean how could you not?!). My fiances mother wanted to try one so she got the Tybee. I decided on the Lemon, Lime, Mexican Spice, Salted Carmel, a Tybee as well and a few others I can’t remember the names of. They were all so yummy! The lemon was my personal favorite, but then again I love all things lemon.
The girl who was working there was nice and helpful!
Can’t wait to go back for more!

I’d always wanted to try macarons, especially because they’re so cute to post on IG. One day, class had worn me down, and I saw Marche de Macarons. I thought, «well, why not. The name’s French.» Such ridiculous reasoning: such a grand payoff.
I’m hooked. They have intriguing flavors like blackberry lavender, rose, and peppermint. I’ve had pretty much every flavor. They’re so good and so pretty, sometimes I just buy them to look at rather than to eat.
It’s a cute little shop on the corner of Broughton. Buy some macarons for your tea parties, or just buy some to remind you that life is full of bite sized and Instagram-​able flavor.

Wow. Just… wow. These little things are a little expensive, but they pack a big punch of flavor and they’re just delicious. At $ 2/​macaron you may not buy a ton at a time, but you don’t need to. 2 is plenty!
And for the gluten-​free among us, it doesn’t get better than this when it comes to cookies!
My personal favorite: chocolate hazelnut. Wow.

Found it after stuffing myself on ice cream at Leopold’s and decided to add to the calorie count. Purchased the Meyer’s Lemon and coconut dark chocolate macarons. Fav was the lemon. Tart and not too sweet. A bit pricey unless you’re buying quantity. $ 2 each.

First time I had macarons. and… ehhh, I guess they’re not my thing.
The staff was a little unfriendly and not much into conversation (although we were the only ones there at the time). I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt because they looked like they had a long day, but still. I explained to them that I’d never had a macaron before, and they didn’t seem to care much or have any interest in «selling» me on them.
It was more like «well, these are macarons and these are the flavors we have in the case.»
The space is probably perfect for that business and location is easily accessible.

When I first heard about Maison de Macaron I wondered how a shop could sustain itself by just selling one type of cookie. Broughton Street (and it’s surrounding streets) is über popular and a tourist destination and I’m sure it isn’t cheap to stay there. Then. I. Tasted. Their. Macarons! They speak up for themselves. I’ve always seen these cookies up and down Instagram timelines and I wondered if these cookies were as tasty as they were beautiful. Tons of bloggers use them as the focal point of their fashion photos because of their bright and colorful hues. When I found out that Savannah had a bakery devoted solely to these little delights, I just had to check it out. I was NOT disappointed. The staff was very friendly but the service was very quick. I suppose she had to hurry up and get back to making those delicious cookies. I tried the following flavors:
SALTED CARAMEL
MADAGASCAR VANILLA
CHOCOLATE GANACHE
CHOCOLATE-​COVERED STRAWBERRY
MEYER LEMON
PISTACHIO
BANANAS FOSTER
BOURBON PECAN
Bourbon Pecan, Meyer Lemon and Bananas Foster were my favorites but they were all amazing. These cookies are more expensive than your traditional cookies but they are definitely worth it. Since my visit, I have searched for Macarons that compare since Savannah is about a 40 minutes drive. I’ve gone to 2 bakeries and have even tried the Macarons in the freezer section of my local walmart. Nothing compares. I’ll definitely be making my way back to Maison de Macaron very soon.

For someone who doesn’t have a sweet tooth, j’adore these macarons! So much so that I’ve recruited several friends to check it out & they’ve become big fans as well.
The macarons are baked fresh daily and taste just sweet enough without overdoing it. The prices are not cheap however macarons are not known for that especially if they’re done right! I’ve tried all of the flavors but the salted caramel & vanilla bean were my favorites.
Very happy to have this shop downtown in a location that’s easy to find. I’ve talked to the owners off and on who are very nice and down to earth. I just wish they were open later and on Sundays more often! It’s the perfect stop to make on my way to church (which is right next door!)

Walking around Savannah, I saw this tiny shop that only makes and sells Macarons (not to be confused with macaroons). This is one of the best and unique places in Savannah. And Savannah is filled with awesome restaurants and food havens — which tells you how good these macarons are! They are delicious, beautiful and fresh with amazing texture. TRY ONE or two or twelve!

For such a small (and i mean TINY) shop, this place packs a lot of punch! The Macarons were to die for! There are soooo many kinds to choose from, the only complain i have is not trying all of them! We only got 8, which is definitely not enough! Check out is fast, they take cards, and people get in and out quickly. I really dont know what else to say other than if youre in the area, you really have to try them!
I think the salted caramel was my favorite!

I really love macarons and this place makes some pretty good ones! My favorites that I tried were the vanilla bean, raspberry, chocolate, and lavender blueberry. Not too crazy about the green tea or salted caramel.
That being said, I marked off for a few reasons: inconsistency in freshness and service.
I went two days in a row for macarons and both days I purchased a bag of six flavors, including vanilla bean each day. The first day, it was really fresh and delicious. The second day, I could tell it was left over from night before, or something. It wasn’t as light and airy, but more along the lines of a little mushy and stale.
As far as the service, I am on the same page with another reviewer about the guy working there. He was on his phone when I came in and barely looked up. He just wasn’t friendly at all. I’m hoping he was having an off day, but regardless, great customer service is so important! A smile and, «thank you, have a great day!» go a long way.

I am convinced this place is going to one day have all my money. It’s a really good thing their shops are a drive away from my house or I’d be there every day. I was introduced to these at an event at Anthropologie in Savannah a few weeks ago and have been making a weekly trek for a dozen ever since.
These macarons are hands down the best I’ve ever had, domestically or abroad. They are heavenly little clouds of meringue with smooth buttercreme and other fillings. They are the perfect treats and make a great impression at dinner parties.
The flavors are inventive and decadent. The caramel ones (salted caramel, snickers, Tybee turtle) are actually filled with caramel. Mexican spice (a favorite of mine) has a dulche de leche filling and jalapeño sugar on top. Bananas foster has a ooey gooey banana crème center. Other fruit flavors have jam centers. My absolute favorite though is the green tea which is filled with buttercreme and a candied ginger center.
I highly recommend you try this place, which is just around the corner from Leopold’s and next to the Lucas theatre. They are a bit pricey at $ 2 for one or $ 20 for a dozen, but they are just so wonderful that they are worth an occasional splurge.
