le macaron

ok, but not great.. themacaronsare ok, and that is all they are, pretty but not great, just ok. the same can be said about the gelato. people go out of their way to make "new" flavors, when all they have to do is serve some classics. the gelato flavors just like the macarons, where not quite there.
would i there eat again? if i'm passing by i would, but i would not make this a destination for me.

love this place. i pop in here every time i'm on park ave because theirmacaronsare so delicious. the owners are also very sweet. try the salted caramel and black vanilla, you will not be disappointed!

the whole reason why i like to go to downtown winter park. le macaron is adorable and is located in beautiful downtown winter park on park ave.
the black madagascar vanilla and the salted carmelmacaronsare to die for, but so are the rest.
i definitely recommend this place.

macarons, not to be confused with macaroons, are a type of french cookies that were completely new to me. i always knew macaroons as those coconut cookies that seem to cross all cultural boundaries, found everywhere from kosher food stores to vietnamese markets to latin-american markets. it seems like the whole world loves those little mounds of coconut, so when i first heard about frenchmacaronsfrom droolius at a foodspotting dinner, i assumed these were the same type of cookie. apparently the difference is more than one less 'o' in the name...  a couple months later i visited le macaron in downtown winter park to finally try a french macaron. le macaron is a little shop tucked away in an alley off park avenue.macaronsare the main focus of this shop, but they also had a very limited selection of chocolates for sale as well. there was a gelato case too, but it was empty on the day i visited. at $1.80 each themacaronswere a bit expensive for the small size of the pastry. regardles

fabulous little place!. we went on a quest one saturday morning to try these littlemacaronswe had been hearing so much about. it took us a few minutes to find this little shop due to the fact it's hidden in the small corner of a covered open air mall and resteraunt on swanky park ave. when we arrived we were greeted by the owner/baker an authentic frenchman with a thick accent who gladly took the time to explain all the flavors of macarons, truffles, ice cream and coffees and give us samples. almost $68.00 dollars we left with six macarons, four chocolates and two coffees and absolutely loved every bite and will defiantly go back!

off of park avenue, just north of morse blvd, you can walk down an alleyway corridor with a beautiful koi pond and stumble upon, next to paris bistro restaurant, a small french confectionary shop called le macaron . an offshoot of the original store in sarasota, the purveyors of this bakery shop are recent french immigrants who take pride in their assortments of chocolates, macarons, and house-made gelatos. the decor reminds me of a small boutique shop, minimalistic and modern. there is some seating available outside. i first triedmacaronsat last year's share our strength's taste of the nation charity event . these french confectionaries are small, crispy and airy round shells made from fresh ground almonds and soft meringue. they are like creme filled cookies like a mini whoopie pie, made with fresh ingredients and care, some crunchy some chewy, all delicious. themacaronscome at $1.80 each, a pretty price to pay for the small desserts, but i suppose that's why the french don't hav
