I've been buying macarons here ever since I had some at an outdoor market and I have to say, their business model is perfect. On top of incredible macarons with inventive flavours, they have macaron making classes, AND they sell the ingredients to make their flavours too (like beetroot powder and lychee puree)! They've covered their customer base well, from the casual eaters to the home bakers, and I love and respect that.
I had a class yesterday with my partner and we couldn't stop raving about how much fun it was, how foolproof they made it, and how great of a deal it was - $100 and you walk out of there with at least 40 macarons, sharing a glass of cava with some wonderful people, and the details on how to make whatever flavour macaron you want. We are beyond impressed. I can't wait to try making our own at home, and inevitably buying lots more here in the future when mine don't turn out nearly as perfect. Chris was a fantastic teacher, very patient, and a funny, dry sense of humour which I appreciated. He gave us lots of wisdom, some good one-liners, and a new appreciation for oven thermometers. Thank you for an awesome day! Keep up...
Read moreI really love the macaroons they sell here. Out of all the macaroon places I have visited (mostly from the Toronto area), compared to Bon Macaroon Patisserie, this shop has the most variety all at a reasonable price too. You get the best for your buck when you get the 30-pack, and the shop will always be selling more than 30 flavours too. There's also a few exclusive flavours at this location, which isn't shown on the online shop, so it's worth checking out. The shop is in a clear walkable area of downtown, where their icon sign and macaron arts can't be missed. While waiting in line, I can't help but muse at the displays they have like an eiffel tower made of macaroons, and Mona Lisa macaroon portraits, haha! The employees there are always welcoming and kind. Sometimes I see one of the macaroons baking classes happening at the back - all the students look like they are having fun, and I hope to one day sign up for those classes too.
I highly recommend visiting Bon Macaron Patisserie if you love macaroons, sold at a fair price and with lots of variety and great quality. This place gets two thumbs up...
Read moreThere are many bakeries outside the city selling better macarons, but this one is by far the best in Victoria.
I always order through an app and also went to their store many times. My ultimate favorite flavors are the Black Currant Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Decadence, Field Berry, and the Ruby Cherry (which they don’t sell any longer :( Please bring it back!). I started loving cherry flavored sweets because of your macaron!
Their staff are friendly and nice. There are no chairs and tables in the store (as far as I could remember), you can only have your macarons to go. They usually have all the flavors in stock every time I buy from them which is awesome. I highly recommend this store! I have macarons from them almost every week in...
