Macarons by Natalie

I just tried Natalie’s macarons this past Saturday and they were fantastic! The texture and flavor were spot on and the colors were so pretty. If you’re looking for tasty and affordable macarons, try Natalie’s. I saw that she also makes character macarons (hello kitty, minions, totoro, & more) — they’re super cute!

I discovered Macarons by Natalie at a bohemian wedding expo and they make quite possibly the best macarons in existence. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Customer service is amazing! Natalie personally contacted me to apologize for the cracked macarons. I decided to order a couple Christmas boxes as gifts. She was great at keeping in contact with me to let me know when the macarons would be available for pick up. She even checked to see that none of them were cracked before I picked them up!

I absolutely love her macarons!!! I ordered tiramisu, and the flavor was right on! They were so good! The size of the macarons are great! The cookie was stable and didn’t crumble everywhere when I bit into it! I’ve bought other macaron from elsewhere, and they melt so fast! These macaron didn’t melt and they kept well without refrigeratoration! I can’t wait to try other flavors! My new fav macaron shop!!!

Natalie’s macarons are mouth wateringly DELICIOUS!
They’re packed with flavor, beautifully made, and not too sweet like a lot of others I’ve tasted. The designs are so creative and she’s skilled at making these traditional pastries into something new and exciting. Love the taste and love the look! Highly recommend ALL the flavors, each is a little party in your mouth. Natalie is one of the most skilled and hardworking chefs out there. Do yourself a favor and get some macarons today!

If you don’t want diabetes but want to treat yourself to some scrumptious macaroons, I highly recommend stopping by early before its sold out. Natalie’s Macaroons always taste natural to its flavors.

Natalie’s baking skills are amazing. She works hard to create these delicious flavors. I always enjoy ordering her Holiday specials that I gift to family and coworkers! :)
I think the pricing she has for a dozen are great. Definitely spent much more at other places to feel indifferent about the taste or sweetness.

I ordered 5 dozen Macarons from Natalie for my daughter’s first birthday party in ube, strawberry cheesecake, cookies n cream, pistachio and peach cobbler. They were all so good. It was a big hit at the party and everyone has been asking about it. All of the flavors were equally good. I love that she has a huge list of different flavors and continues to add more flavors to the list. I can not wait to try all of them. Natalie was very professional. The price is reasonable. Great customer service!

So i came by to the Cupcake Cove specifically to try Natalie’s macarons. I am glad i was able to. However, i would not agree with others who state these macarons rival Parisian ones. Though they were very soft, moist, and had the signature «feet» i think they missed the mark of the slightly chewy consistency in my humble opinion. But to each their own. i would gladly take these over the crunch hollow-​like textures i have received at other bakeries but would i say these are my favorite, definitely not. i tried the pistachio, the peach, the cookies and cream, and the red velvet. They are very good though. Definitely give them a try if you are a macaron fan. Plus a free macaron with a purchase when you check in to the location…

I ordered a dozen macaroons for my office and was pleased to find an assortment of delicious flavors, really friendly staff, and did I mention how good the macaroons are?
Honestly Natalie, your macaroons rival Parisian macaroons and the inventive flavors are brilliant!
FYI — she’s located in Cupcake Cove in the Oakland City Center

to be honest… I didn’t get to try Natalie’s macarons. So why the 5 star review?
She is extremely professional and exceptionally sweet. I ordered a dozen mango macarons for my godmother for mother’s day. On her website she listed that she didn’t ship but since she was located in Oakland, and my godmother works in Oakland, I took a chance at asking for a delivery. (she actually does ship now)
She was great! Not only did she communicate with me the whole time, the poor girl even waited 20+ minutes in the lobby because Kaiser apparently has ridiculously strict security and wouldn’t let her leave the package without my godmother picking it up first.
I didn’t get to taste it, but my godmother said they were amazing! She doesn’t usually like macarons — the macarons at the buffets in Vegas left her unimpressed. Natalie’s macarons changed her mind! She even ordered a box right after she got her delivery to give out as a mother’s day present to someone else.
Please support Natalie! I look forward to working with her when my own company takes off and I need some treats to give away.

Oh man I’m slipping! Natalie is such an amazing Baker! Young & talented entrepreneur ! This girl is so good I would just ask her if she could make me a certain style of macaron and she is on it. My first order for Natalie was minion and hello kitty macaron they were super cute and tasty! She is such a go getter and never once told me she couldn’t do a request! I totally recommend her for all macaron needs! P. S support local businesses!

I ordered several dozen macarons from Natalie for my brother’s wedding a few weeks ago and she did a great job! She helped pick flavors that would accent our dessert/​candy station well and they turned out fabulous! She delivered to our venue in Oakland and was very accommodating to adjust the delivery time when I ran late. Her macarons were delicious, a good size, and they complimented our other desserts well.

It turns out she does accept paypal! So if you want to pay in advance do say so in advance. That way you can just pick up with no worries :)

Hands down, these are the best macarons I’ve ever tasted! Natalie is super friendly and very good about getting back to you in a timely manner. You won’t be disappointed if you Macarons by Natalie!

Natalie has truly mastered the art in Macarons, both creatively and beyond!
She has such a variety of flavors to choose from with new flavors always arising. I’d definitely recommend her for special events such as baby showers, birthday parties, weddings, etc. Just like how a wedding cake has endless possibilities, well, so does her macarons!

I must admit that ordering macarons from someone I’ve never met before was a bit skeptical. However, I took the risk of ordering a box of macarons for my little sister’s birthday!
Natalie had a Valentine’s Day special going on at that time, so I ordered a variety box. Ordering was very easy since I contacted her via e-​mail.
The macarons was very moist and slightly chewy. The buttercream was very light and wasn’t too sweet.
If Natalie decides to open a bakery in the future, I will definitely support her!
I know it’s weird to meet someone for macarons, but trust me… It’s worth it!

Natalie’s Macaroons are the best! Her quality, effort, creativity and her passion towards making macaroons creates a delightful sensation when you bite each and every one of them. She is always up for new flavors, so definitely tell her what flavor you want and she would do the best she can to create your needs!
Her macaroons are at a ridiculously reasonable price. I compared to the bakery at Monclair and San Francisco; I would prefer Natalie’s over theirs because of many reasons.
1) the size that she creates is bigger than Monclair’s and as big as San Francisco’s; she creates each and every macaroon the same size too which is every better.
2) the price; monclair’s price is around $ 1.50 but it’s really small sized and sf’s is around $ 2.50 which is almost the same size as Natalie’s macaroons.
3) the quality; macaroons are delicious when they have even filling and uncracked shells. Natalie has perfected on making the shells smooth, so it won’t crack.
Like people say quality over quantity is better and worth the money. You can find her at her facebook page (
) or her instagram (@macaronsbynatalie) ! It’s not mandatory to only order macaroons on special occasions, you can always order them just for fun and eat it whenever you want! That’s what I did and it was worth it!

I recently tried Natalie’s delicious macarons at a baby shower and decided to order some for my niece super sweet 1^st birthday party. I contacted her through email and placed an order of 100 macarons with an option of 4 flavors: green tea, salted caramel, Neapolitan and ube and they were a big hit. They were so good that people even got greedy and started to steal some home. lol.
