Macaron Queen

Fucking love their macaroons. They will even customize macaroons for you.
What more do you want from me. Describe their huge variety? No, I’m not even Elite, If I was maybe.
Sure I will highlight one of their macaroons.
Raspberry Lemon Mousse: Dessert is an art form in itself, but you get to see, taste, touch, and smell dessert.
The nice firmness to their macaroons informs my brain that I will have a nice satisfying bite into this macaroon.
To bring out the beautiful aroma of fruit in a macaroon is special and difficult. Its different than a tart with a strawberry on it. The raspberry lemon is part of the mousse that is the Macaroon.
A rich dessert will leave your mouth craving something to wash it down, perhaps a tea or coffee.
What is special about these Macaroons it leaves you wanting not a drink, but another macaroon. Rich in taste, fluffy in texture, firm in bite, and aromatically appealing to the soul.

The worker sold me with her short speech about how they are the best in Georgia. I guess it doesn’t help that I had just binge watched the Great British Bake Off which got me craving some sweets. & when is the next time I’m going to be in Georgia? I love me some macaroons and gladly bought a baggie of 6. It’s understandable that they come prepacked which doesn’t allow you to pick and choose which flavors you want, but she helped pick one that had the majority of the flavors I wanted.

These macaroons are completely amazing. They are a perfect mix between a moist flavorful cake and a tasty crispy cookie. All of the flavors are good but my favorites are red velvet (tastes EXACTLY like red velvet cake!), vanilla and chocolate, hazelnut, and strawberry shortcake. I haven’t had many macaroons outside of MQ, but I can’t imagine any being better than these. Perfection!

So I finally decided to try MQ precisely 3 weeks ago and within that 3 weeks, I’ve had MQ 4 times… don’t judge me. Their macarons are sooo good! Perfect size and texture, a nice shell on the outside and a moist cake like inside. I bought the pre-​assorted packages the first two times. Then, I found out you can call them and place a custom order for any flavor and quantity, so the past two times I did custom 16oz packages with all the flavors I love. They’re super friendly and the customer service is always great.
My favorite flavors are:
Princess cake
Red velvet
Salted caramel
Pistachio
Dark chocolate ganache
Blueberry cheesecake
I’ve had some of their other flavors, but the ones above are my absolute favorite. The flavors I listed aren’t too sweet or overpowering with flavor. Don’t listen to the person who said go to Alon’s. I went to Alon’s the other day just to try their macarons and I was beyond disappointed. I wanted to cuss out anyone who had any part in making those mini bricks that tasted like a fridge. Macaron Queen is the best!

Their macarons is very cute and I like how they have so many flavors. However, it is too sweet and I can’t eat it after the 3^rd macarons. The price is more expensive than other places. I used to live in europe and this place is kinda disappointed. Great customer service though!

Whenever I go to Lenox, I get so tempted to get these macarons! They’re so delicious and moist but of course they’re not cheap. I do wish I could select each macaron rather than choosing a package.

I got a 3 pack from the Macaron Queen in the Perimeter mall. The salesperson was very helpful, and since they were all prepackaged asked my preferences for taste before picking out a 3 pack that had 3 flavors that I wanted. I got a strawberry, lemon and coconut cream macaron. The Strawberry and Lemon were amazing, crunch on the outside, soft on the inside, held shape, the filling was incredible. The outside did have an odd sheen like there was a spray of color, but I don’t know what it was or would be. The coconut cream/​chocolate flavor was sadly the only one I took a picture of, and I suspect because of the coconut just didn’t hold up to the bite. But it was still really really delicious, it just didn’t come out photogenically.

Went to laduree in miami and had a hankering for some more. This lil spot inside the Lenox mall is great!

My friend got me addicted to these.
Definitely, best deal for your bucks for macarons.
It’s moist and has endless of flavors.
My favorites are the blueberry cheesecake and salted caramel.
Drawback is that I can’t stop eating the whole bag and they’re gone in one sitting…
Also, it’s a must when you go to Lenox. I guess I need to avoid the mall…

please keep in mind that I am no macaron expert, connoisseur, nor an addict. but that doesn’t keep me from these eye candies and also from the temptation of buying them as a snack.
I know that a lot of macaron snobs don’t really approve of any macarons in atlanta. so for a macaron «rookie» like me, I approve of these macarons. are they stale tasting? not to me. perhaps I just got lucky with my bags or the time of purchase… who knows. some flavors are little too weak and subtle for me and some are definitely too sweet. the flavors (ones I’ve had the chance to try) I do recommend are: pistachio, chocolate, cappuccino, coffee, and almond. there are certain flavors that they produce more of (on random days) and they sell out pretty quick. I know the passion fruit flavor is hard to come by, since I haven’t been able to try that one yet. their site also lists a lot of flavors I am interested in, but I have yet to see those flavors at the kiosk.
the pricing for «macaron queen» is a little weird and inconsistent. I just don’t understand why the price per unit doesn’t decrease as the macaron count gets higher…
3pc = $ 5ish
5pc = $ 6.50
8pc = $ 11.95

I have always been a foodie so when it comes to sweets of course I would want to find the best Macaron’s in the US, until I can afford to go Paris and taste the real thing. I’ve tried many Macaron’s from many places even from one of the most popular places in NYC, and none of them quite did it for me. So I was quite excited when I saw the cute little Kiosk in Lenox Mall with the Adorable Macaron tree’s and hand selected picks of the day.
As I approached the rep at the counter, I patiently waited while she served two other guests. I decided to look around at the beautifully designed Macaron’s and Macaron tree’s. Once the rep was done she attended to me and my Mom. The rep seemed a bit annoyed while at the same time trying her best to be helpful.
I purchased a pack of Macarons that were hand-​selected for the day, it was an assorted bunch with 6 macarons. As I walked through the mall, an employee in Macy’s talked about how «legit» my macarons were because the owner is actually from Paris, that made me even more excited to taste them.
After finally getting to my car and having a chance to open the cute little package, I pulled out the lemon Macaron because in the past that has been one of my favorite flavors from other bakers.
The Macaron’s are perfectly textured and flavored to please, I couldn’t have been more impressed. Macaron Queen has the best Macaron’s I’ve tasted thus far, I highly recommend the Macaron Queen, I believe it may be the closes you’ll get to Paris Macaron’s without going to Paris. ~

I had never liked macaroons until my friend discovered this place. This started my macaron addiction. I usually get the $ 12 random set or I customize order my macaron set. You can customize your set online by sending them an email and picking it up at the Lenox location. Each bite is a little happiness in your mouth. My favorite flavors would be red velvet, blueberry cheesecake, mango, and strawberry. All of these are so delicious. I hate waiting for these macarons to thaw before consuming them, but it is definitely worth it. If you are not eating them right away, refrigerate them! Macaron Queen is my favorite place for macarons. Even TI has gone here for their macarons.

Cute little kiosk outside Macys lower level. Good variety of macarons. Fun friendly service. Great flavors to choose from. Picked up a box today and they where yummy!!!

I’ve always been drawn to the cute factor of macarons, but I’ve never been much of a fan. The ones I tried in the past were either too sweet or lacking a distinct flavor. Clearly, I’d never had any from the Macaron Queen! I stopped by the kiosk on a whim to ask about custom macarons for a baby shower. The associate was pleasant and answered my questions to the best of her knowledge. I was just gathering info and not planning to try them, until I saw they offered red velvet. I thought it odd I couldn’t pick the flavors I wanted, but eventually settled on a package sans mango. Ohmigod. These were perfectly chewy and full of clearly recognizable flavor. I could eat the lemon and red velvet all day. Even my husband and his persnickety palate loved them.
**Note to the Owners: Please allow a la carte orders. The prepackaged ones are nice for just trying them out, but not all flavors appeal to everyone. Offer customization and you’ll have a guaranteed customer in me!

The kiosk at Lenox mall would always catch my attention so I finally gave in, never having a macaroon before, being gluten intollerant, I decided to make it a treat! Fast forward to a weekend trip to Savannah, GA… after trying Macaroon Queens, I HAD to try the best rated macaroons in Savannah. If I had never tried Macaroon Queens before, I wouldn’t have been interested in making the special stops in Savannah. I was so disappointed. One was even from a French café. They were a bit on the chewy side.
Now, back to Macaroon Queen. These ‘bite’ sized delicacies melt in your mouth. They are so light and fluffy with a crisp crust. My 3 kids absolutely love them. My 3 year old devoured in one bite just one little cookie and asked for more. (That’s a very expensive bite!).
I do wish we could choose our own flavors and they were more affordable for ‘a bite’! But overall, the best macaroon and so many flavors, I haven’t had a bad one!

I wanted to treat my kid cousin to some macarons… One of my favorite cookies. Strange to find them in a kiosk at the mall, but I’m sure it saves a ton of money!
First off, no one was there, a hand written sign said will be right back soon.
Second… It was pretty overpriced. The girl selling them said they were baked fresh daily. When asked how long they keep, she said a week. Hmmmm… I’ve always known these delicate cookies to probably not last more than a couple days. They tend to get stale… The center filling a bit chewy.
I bought a bag… $ 40+… Dangit, Unilocal check in gives you 10%. The girl said well… I could re ring it but it takes a few days for the transaction to cancel. She advised me to order them online and tell them about the discount.
Overall they were pretty decent macarons. Nothing spectacular. Since they are so overpriced here… Wouldn’t order them again.

A small kiosk located in Lenox Mall. The staff was friendly and energetic in selling the products. You do NOT have an option to choose which Macaroons you want. They come in randomly assorted bundles by 3,5,8. It averages out to 1.50ish per Macaroon. They have both gluten and gluten free Macaroons. They have an abundance for different wonderful flavors such as cookie dough, lemon, white chocolate rasberry, blueberry cheesecake, passionfruit, etc. The sizes were consistent to the filling. My only «complaint» would be some of the fillings taste the same. Overall it was a good experience and I would buy again. Cheers!
Side note: if you check in, you usually get a 10% discount!

[Written from the perspective of a macaron newbie]
I would have never known that Macaron Queen existed since I make it a point to avoid Lenox Square Mall like it were an infectious disease, and I’d never tasted a macaron before. Someone close to me had tried some of the Queen’s offerings and suggested I give them a whirl. Suggestion noted.
Since it was right before closing on a Sunday, Macaron Queen was out of 3 per bag, so I had to buy the 5 per bag. There were some customers when we first approached, but they dissipated, and then the attendant came over to help us. I wanted to try blueberry and pistachio, so she patiently helped me select a bag with blueberry, pistachio, key lime, red velvet, and strawberry something. I forgot. I wish the bags listed the flavors inside. I got distracted by all the excitement I guess. 10% off with Unilocal check-​in, yes! The packaging is very pretty and gift-​ready for giftees.
So I’m still on the fence about macarons in general. I liked them but am not in love with them. I’ll put macarons in the friend zone.
They are beautiful, have pretty hues, and could be wee cheeseburgers.
The flavors were very subtle for the most part, though key lime really was the most memorable and strongest. Then blueberry. The buns were reminiscent of compressed cake with a eggshell-​like exterior. I keep looking at macarons and expect them to be like wafers but they aren’t.
I’d definitely give macarons and Macaron Queen another go; I want to see how others compare to the Queen’s. Just wish MQ wasn’t in Lenox. The parking lot, grr.

I am a macaron freak. We’re not even going to talk about how many times I ate macarons when I was in France but I did hit up the two major players in the mac game: Laduree and Pierre Herme. After that they really blew up around here, and I started trying them around town. I think West Egg’s the only one I haven’t tried for macarons. So when I saw Daniel B’s review earlier, I made plans to go to Lenox despite the fact I was just there Monday. Oh and I went to Sephora and Macy’s and somehow didn’t even notice this place off to the side. When you see it, you’ll get why.
In my expert opinion these are the best you are going to get around here. Second would be a tie between Alon’s and Maison Robert. After you have these you can definitely tell which ones have been previously frozen when you think back on biting into the shell…
The macarons are all pre-​packaged which I don’t see as a big deal because then I have less decisions to have to make. This isn’t some unheard of, weird thing, this is precisely how I bought some at a patisserie in Strasbourg, France, too. Of course in this case I still had to decide on a bag, but at least I couldn’t get more! I got: red velvet, key lime, strawberry shortcake, vanilla, and coconut.
I was so going to save a few but I failed miserably.
They were great, a hard shell on the outside gives way to a soft interior. They had good looking feet. no cracking, no pointy spots. They’re not overly sweet, and there was the perfect amount of filling.
Out of these five I don’t even know how to pick a favorite! The key lime was okay, it was pretty delicately flavored so it was probably my least favorite. My favorite is Pierre Herme so if you ever get to try one of those you will understand how I could think the key lime was not flavorful. I liked the strawberry shortcake, it had a mix of vanilla bean ganache and strawberry jam. The vanilla was of course every good too, I always like a vanilla where I can see the specks of vanilla in there. The red velvet one was awesome too. Again, not too flavorful in the shell but I love the cream cheese frosting being in a macaron instead of on a cake. The coconut was of course good too, with toasted coconut on top.
These five were $ 6.50. I don’t quite understand their pricing because right below them were sets of 8 for $ 11 or $ 12, which didn’t make sense to me.
I just am going to hold off the last star for now because I didn’t think they were as good as Laduree and Pierre Herme, though that is what I was told. They’re definitely more inspired by Laduree I think, I loved the intense flavors of Pierre Herme though and I would love to see a bit of that here. And I just want to eat more of them first, I mean I am really debating just going for 5 but they just need a little kick up.
I hope they can expand beyond just a kiosk. I’m sure that plays a part in why they are prepackaged, considering there’s probably health code involving touching them when you don’t have easy access to a sink for hand washing. I wouldn’t mind being able to pick flavors out individually but more I’d love to see what else they could do with an actual space!
They also sell water and French lemonades. I got a blood orange lemonade, and just a warning it is incredibly hard to get it open and if you try don’t put it in your purse sideways unless you want a couple ounces in your purse, yeah… going to go deal with that now…

Macaron Queen is a small kiosk that sells macarons inside Lenox Square mall. The kiosk is located in between Armani Exchange and Macy’s on the first floor.
I’ve got to admit, I don’t give most mall kiosks any thought. However, Macaron Queen has a nice little operation going on. The Parisian-​themed kiosk really stands out from other kiosks inside the mall. It’s heavily decorated in pink and other bright, cheerful colors. There’s lights, models of a Ferris wheel and the Eiffel tower, and stands decorated with real macarons. It’s playful and whimsical. Even the lady who works here wears a cute pink dress with a colorful macaron-​printed apron and a macaron hat.
The kiosk sells prepackaged bags and boxes of macarons along with bottled refreshments. Macarons are delivered fresh each day. The macarons are stored in three refrigerators at the kiosk. Due to increasing popularity, the third fridge was added in June. Flavors change daily. Flavors I’ve seen include:
Vanilla
Key lime
Raspberry
Coffee
White chocolate mango
White chocolate raspberry
Chocolate
Pistachio
Coconut
Salted caramel
Hazelnut
Lavender
Red velvet
A bag of three macarons starts at $ 3.75 ($ 1.25 per macaron). You can purchase up to a 16 oz. box for $ 45.00. All of the macarons have been pre-​assorted, so you can’t choose the flavors individually. You can request custom macaron orders through Macaron Queen’s web site.
I’ve only tried a handful of flavors (e.g. raspberry cream, pistachio, red velvet cake) and so far, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve tried. The macarons are indeed fresh, incredibly delicious, and addictive. What’s amazing is how enticingly tasty and authentic the macarons are, yet they’re lower in fat and sugar than traditional macarons. Macaron Queen uses a relatively healthier macaron recipe.
If you’re ever at Lenox and want a sweet snack, definitely swing by and pick up some macarons from Macaron Queen. You won’t be disappointed. These are also a great gift idea.
