Macaronage and Confections

They taste like the ones made in Paris. They are superb that’s why they are expensive!!!

I travel a lot and make it a point to hit up macaron places everywhere and this, by far, is the best place I have tried yet. Baked perfectly, very high quality!

Really great macaroons! Love the texture and flavors! They are so cute too! They are so yummy!

The macarons here are so tasty. The cookie to filling ratio is perfect. The filling was smooth, firm, light, and not sticky. The crust of the cookie was thin which provides the perfect protection for the chewy cookie. They had an array of flavors (I tried the S’mores, champagne, caramel and pumpkin) and were all so colorful!
I also had the opportunity to take a macaron class on a Sunday morning. I drove from Sacramento and it was worth the trip! The owner, Grace, taught the class and gave great instruction and tips and how to make these delicate cookies. I now appreciate why these cookies are a bit pricey as they are tricky to make and the main ingredient (almond flour) is costly.
Will stop by this lovely shop when I can when I’m in the area! 5 stars for great macarons and customer service!

The prices are much more expensive then I’ve expected. However that’s how macarons are always priced so I’m not that appalled, however Bön Mange which is not too far from this location does honestly offer better prices. Not only that, but the macarons look quite plain to me, nothing too special about them. It isn’t bad, but for the price I feel that they should be made to look much more attractive. Also there was a lot of mosquitoes flying around the food, and it was a bit awkward for both the lady and I as we pretended that they weren’t there as she was picking out my macarons. Nonetheless, service was okay, needs a few improvements here and there.

The sign and Unilocal says closed at 6 but when I pulled up at 5:40 they turned the sign to close as I was walking up. Even asked a work through the window but nope they were closed… Disappointing I was looking forward to try this place.

Really nice quality. The store is very bright and welcoming. I enjoyed the counter girl she gave a great suggestions on our half dozen. They were so flavorful and perfect texture. I tasted the six we chose with my mom and her wife and we had the most fun reviewing each one. The price was fair and the experience was amazing.

Amazing flavor. I really enjoyed Mango and lemon, those are my favs, but they’re so freakin tiny I didn’t enjoy spending $ 9.50 for a half a dozen, that’s ridiculous. They’re good, but not $ 1.65 per macaroon good.

My boyfriend drove 40 minutes to this location and back to bring me some macaroons…24 to be exact! I was so disappointed. The macaroons were not soft and fluffy, but dry and they had odd flavors. I tried three or four but they just crumbled and did not taste good. We put them out for dinner and no one would eat them. I don’t know if they were having a bad day or what, but based on similar reviews, I would stay away from this place if you are a macaroon lover :(

They are great. Taste price etc.
My two daughters enjoyed there class to make macarons.
we enjoy there sweets at least once a month.
Good job Macaronage

First off… I’ve been here half a dozen times and their macaroons are yummy.
I bought a Groupon for two dozen Macaroons… a dozen each for my daughters carpool people. Yesterday, I was so excited to pick some up. I drove across town out of the way from where my other errands were and was trucking my impatient autistic son with me to boot.
So, when I pulled up front and saw the CLOSED sign… I was more then disappointed. (I had been checking the times and days that they were open for a few days now. I knew the were not open on Mondays. And we’re open 10am-​6pm.)
I was frustrated and had to think fast as my son was melting down in frustration in the car. Ugh! It was 4:45! What the heck! It was supposed to close at 6pm.
That is just plain BAD business. What’s the point of having good macaroons when you can’t be bothered to be open on your publicized times.

My fiancé and I signed up for a macarons class. It was $ 35 and about two hrs long. Grace was our teacher and owner of Macaronage.
The class was very thorough and easy to follow even if you’ve never baked before. We were all presented with our own work stations with cheat sheets, a recipe that Grace uses on a day to day basis, and all the ingredients already pre-​measured for us.
Grace was very knowledgeable and I liked how she kept her classes small. That way it was easier to learn and ask questions.
We made over a dozen macarons with filings like salted caramel, fruity pebbles and chocolate ganache. She even taught us how to make caramel.
At the end of the class Grace gave us her cell phone number and welcomed us to text her if were to run into any problems at home. I feel confident enough to do this for our wedding and it’s all thanks to Grace!

There Macaron are yummy, different varieties. Clean environment. Great serious and friendly. First time there, wouldn’t mind going back again.

I came here when they first opened and thought their macarons were okay.
Recently, my 5 year old has become obsessed with macarons so I promised to take him so he could pick out his own dozen. Before going, I checked store hours which claimed to close at 7PM. We pull up to the store at about 5:15 & there’s a sign that claims they closed early because they sold out. I rush to the new store on Miracle Mile & it’s 5:30 and also closed. My son was pretty upset.
I tried again the following week. I warned my son not to get his hopes up. We arrive JUST AS they were locking the door (around 5:10PM). I rushed my kids out the car hoping they’d let us in. They had PLENTY of macarons left. The lady unlocked the door for us and let us in to purchase our dozen. As we were paying, another couple walked in and the lady told them, «Sorry were closed.»
If I had been that couple, I would never go back especially if they claim to close at 7pm and they still had a bunch of macarons left.
Their macarons HAVE improved a lot since the last time I went (in December 2013). They’re bigger and texture is perfect. My favorite was the dark chocolate. My son loved the Orange creamsicle and the white chocolate.

If you come here then I would advise against the Cupcakes and stick to the Macarons.
Macronage always seem to have a Groupon deal going so I recently snapped one up which was for 1 dozen Macarons, usually priced at $ 18. I think I paid like $ 10:50 or close to that. The Lady serving which happened to be on the weekend of their 1 year Anniversary was very friendly and polite informing me of the raffle they were holding in celebration.
I choose 8 flavors for myself and my Husband which were somewhat enjoyable, certainly better than some places I have been too. The couple of small issues I ha were that the shells seemed to separate and the filling wasn’t really very creamy but almost oily like shortening had been used. The flavors however were very good albeit a little light, I loved the Mango and the S’mores was a nice surprise, I totally didn’t expect the Marshmallow filling (
).
As for the Mango Cupcake I purchased (
) — $ 2. Eeek! These are Gluten free and you can tell. Very dry and dense with no distinguishable Mango flavor.
I would say maybe 3.5 stars overall, If and when I am back in the area I will give them another chance.

Are you kidding me?! Why doesn’t this place have a 5-​star rating?!?
After getting somewhat lost around Stockton, we ended up having dim sum nearby (Fu Yuan) this unassuming little macaron shop. Good lunch, but an even better decision stepping into this place ~
Macarons galore! The flavors are endless: from strawberry banana, pink champagne, hazelnut, mango, passion fruit, espresso, dark chocolate, vanilla, white chocolate, and even more I forgot the names of.
One of the best flavored and textured macarons I’ve had in a long time — perfectly chewy and crunchy and balance of respective sweetness, saltiness, and bitterness. They are definitely as delicious as they look, and they look flawless. just immaculate.I have a dessert crush.
Not a lot of destination spots in Stockton, from personal experience, but this has definitely become one for me.

I was excited to see a macaron shop open up here but was quickly let down once I tried them. I used a groupon so at least saved a few dollars but couldn’t imagine paying full price for these ($ 18 for a dozen). While the cookies looked great with a beautiful presentation, the flavors were not good.
Macarons are supposed to be light and airy with delicate flavors that melt in your mouth. These cookies were dense and heavy and sickeningly sweet. I tried 12 different flavors and they mostly all just tasted like pure sugar instead of the advertised flavors. The mango actually tasted rancid. Each cookie had a thick overly sweet filling that was actually melting out of the sides on a few.
Fiancé and I both tried them and agreed they tasted bad. We ended up throwing the half-​eaten cookies in the trash. It’s a cute shop with friendly service, but sorry, we won’t be going back. The two stars are given only for the clean shop, nice presentation and friendly staff.

I’ll start with this: Macronage is my new #1 spot for macarons!
We ended up here after a failed attempt at going to a Korean BBQ spot and a different macaron shop in town. But as my boyfriend always says — everything happens for a reason! I’m glad we didn’t go to that other macaron shop, because I’m not sure if it would’ve been as good as this one! To be fair, I haven’t actually tasted a bad macaron. But this is the best of the best so far, and who knew it would be in Stockton?
Right when you walk in, you are mesmerized by the bold colors of their macarons. They have 14 different flavors. We bought a dozen for $ 18, and then used our Unilocal check-​in offer (1 free macaron) to get the last two flavors! Their pricing is pretty average, maybe a little cheaper than most places. Many shops I’ve come across will sell a single macaron for $ 2 and up, but they are sold for less than $ 2 here at Macronage.
We sat inside and tried a couple flavors before we left. First up: s’mores. It was delicious, with marshmallow filling! We also tried the strawberry banana (which was an odd teal color, I would’ve expected yellow or pink, but it was still pretty), which was on point with the two flavors. What I really like about this place: their macarons aren’t too chewy and stick to my teeth, which is what I find with other macarons.
I would definitely return to this shop for my macaron fix! I can’t believe their average Unilocal rating is so low!

Six little cookies for $ 9.50. Yes, those in the photo are sitting on a dollar bill for size comparison. What am I missing here?
Maybe I am not aware of the costly ingredients or the hours of work it takes
to make a few cookies but, wow!
The basic idea is great… my only complaint is the size and price of the cookies.
I ate six macarons at a cost of almost $ 10! Others have confirmed that the
price is on the high side and there are better out there. Guess I will have to
keep looking.
If you never had a macaron, it’s fun to try them. This was my first time.
Now…on to the snow ‘fluff’. Very interesting. I was thinking very thinly shaved ice,
but this is ‘upscale’ shaved snow. It is a frozen produce that is veryyy thinly
shaved. You have your choice of fluff flavors plus drizzle and two toppings.
$ 5.50. I might have to return to try other flavors.
*1 free macaron with check-​in*

I’m no macaron expert but these macarons were really yummy! I got a half dozen for $ 8.99 consisting of: Reese’s peanut butter, green tea, oreo milkshake, s’mores, dark chocolate raspberry, and salted caramel. All of them had good, soft, chewy textures, and none of them crumbled or were hard as rock (maybe some of the other reviewers got bad batches?).
Okay flavors: oreo milkshake, s’mores. I expected the oreo milkshake to have a little stronger of an oreo flavor. The s’mores was not bad. I liked the marshmallow filling.
Pretty good flavors: Reese’s peanut butter, green tea, dark chocolate raspberry. The Reese’s was the first one I tried and had peanut buttery goodness on the inside. The green tea was surprisingly good as well. The dark chocolate raspberry looked and tasted like dark chocolate on the inside initially, but then the taste of the raspberry preserves kicked in and made it delicious!
AMAZING flavors: salted caramel. Words cannot describe how good the salted caramel was! I wasn’t sure it’d live up to all the hype was but it was indeed one of their best flavors. Definitely recommended.
They have this cool little electronic stampcard system where you give them your phone number and they keep track of your stamps for you. You get perks after 5 stamps and then 10 stamps. My only complaints would be the lack of anywhere to sit since the area is very small (there are no tables or chairs) and the price. I don’t buy macarons very often so I’m not familiar with prices at other places, but I feel like the prices are a little steep for just a little box, even if they are good.
Will probably be back in the future to try some more since they rotate flavors (and to get more than one salted caramel next time!).
