Sweet Box (Macarons, Dragon Beard Candy) — Restaurant in Buena Park

Cute little shop located on the first floor of The Source that specializes in macarons and character macarons. I love anything super cute (take my money) so I was definitely more interested in getting the character macarons. These aren't the most affordable sweets you'll find, but they aren't easy to make for a beginner home baker. They're usually made out of almond flour so it contributes to the higher price point which is totally understandable to me. Unfortunately, I didn't really have much selection to choose from so I didn't go on a buying spree that I thought I would (perhaps my wallet is thankful for that!), so I opted for the vanilla and oreo cream. Once I took a bite, I was delighted to find that my macarons weren't empty shells. I liked how the butter cream was slightly salted so it balanced out the sweetness of the macarons. Would love to come back the next time when they have more character...

This wasn’t my first time visiting—I’ve been here before and previously tried the strawberry, grape, and tangerine Tanghulu. They were really good, though definitely on the pricey side, but that’s expected given the current hype.

This was my first time trying their Dubai chocolate-covered strawberries, and I went with the cup that includes pistachio cream. Honestly, I wouldn’t spend $15 on it again. The chocolate completely overpowered the pistachio flavor, and there wasn’t much cream to begin with. I probably would’ve enjoyed it more if I had just gone with the regular chocolate-covered strawberries on their own.

They also offer other treats like macarons, which I’ve tried and found to be pretty tasty. Overall, everything I’ve had here has been good, but it’s definitely on the expensive side—so it depends on what you’re willing to spend for...

Cute little spot that had a decent amount of people lined up when we showed up after eating dinner. The dragon beard candy was a little interesting. We had the Oreo flavor and the taste was yummy. However, we didn't expect the texture to initially be like a dry crusty rock lol! I'd still eat it again though.

The grape tanghulu was very good. The strawberry one was kinda difficult to bite into bc of how plump it was but still taste fine. The outer coating started to melt so the sugar was slowly dripping down when we walked around

We also had some macarons and there's many options...
