    A Taste of Paris without flying there!Indulge in Macarons, made by French Pastry Chefs at Le Macaron in Laguna Beach. Enjoy up to 26 delectable flavors, made with almond flour (all gluten-free). The perfect texture - a delicate crisp shell with a soft and chewy center. My favorites were the Sicilian Pistachio, Red Velvet, Lemon Cream, Orange Blossom, Columbian Coffee and Lavender White Chocolate!! Can’t wait to try more flavors!Try their Macaron Gelato Sandwich - the best of both worlds!! Their French Gelato is so creamy and thick, more indulgent than Italian gelato! My favorite was the Salted Caramel! They also have French Sorbets as well!!They have LavAzza Coffee, flavored syrups and other drinks like Orangina, Apple Juice, French Soda and Coconut Water. I tried the Iced Matcha Latte with a little Pistachio syrup- fantastic! Not overly sweet! My new favorite!! Grab a fresh made croissant or other pastries.Their Macarons and Gourmet chocolates make the perfect gift! They also offer catering as well! Jenia and Michael had the most friendly and helpful customer service!!What I love about this location is that the beach is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET!! The perfect spot to enjoy your sweet treats!!

    A quaint macaroon shop, right on the California 1 Highway in Laguna Beach. After 24 macaroon varieties, all of them are gluten free with many dairy free. Each bite explodes with flavor, but is a perfect balance of sweet flavor and soft texture. As a coffee fanatic, the Colombian coffee macaron definitely hit my taste buds. Friendly staff and a warm-hearted atmosphere as you enter.Street parking is extremely limited in the area, so you may have to find a paid parking lot and take the walk to reach this macaroon and candy shop.
