Le Bon Macaron — Restaurant in Holland

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) “Charming café vibes and a soda so good I’m making my own at home.”

Le Bon Macaron is an absolute gem—a charming little French-inspired café that instantly makes you want to slow down, sip something sweet, and soak in the ambiance. They offer a lovely assortment of teas, coffees, flavored lattes, handcrafted sodas, and an array of beautifully displayed desserts.

Although “macaron” is in the name (and they looked incredibly tempting), I didn’t try any on this visit. The vibrant, bright colors gave me pause since I tend to avoid artificial dyes, and when I asked, the staff wasn’t certain if synthetic dyes were used. That said, the display was stunning, and they offer a wide variety of flavors—including seasonal and holiday collections. If it turns out they use plant-based or natural colorants, I’d love to return and try a few!

This time, I opted for a handcrafted French soda with their house-made blackberry syrup—and wow. Not only was the presentation lovely, but the flavor was so fresh and balanced. Knowing the syrup was made from scratch gave it that extra artisanal touch. At $5.50, it felt totally fair for the quality and care that went into it.

While waiting, I took in the space: clean, softly lit, and cozy with an inviting feel. It’s the kind of place you want to sit and stay awhile. Had I ordered more than just a drink, I definitely would’ve settled in to enjoy the vibe.

I’m not local to the area, but this place made such a great impression that I’ll absolutely go out of my way to visit again if I’m ever nearby. That soda even inspired me to try making my own syrup at home—so I’d say it left its mark!

Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys thoughtfully made treats in a beautiful,...

Cute little cafe with a focus on my favorite dessert, macarons. It's a short walk from public parking lots and right in a cute shopping area. The cafe has a few tables, bookshelves with some children's books for sale, and also has a restroom. Service was near immediate as it relates to macarons and the coffee took 5 or so minutes. Overall the macarons were good, though some of the shells seemed a little overbaked. Some flavors I enjoyed more than others, I especially liked the bananas foster macaron and the almond macaron, because those flavors came through nice and strong and the texture was just right on the ones I ate. I would go back, though I'd probably stick to flavors...

I adore the vibe of this shop! Service was extremely friendly and helpful. Shop decorations and displays are warm and inviting.

Cannelle Miel Latte was the star of the show. Macarons were exquisitely made. Light hard shell on the outside with fluffy cake and filling on the inside. I got the six pack of macarons and had trouble distinguishing the flavors at times. Even so, they were delicious and unique. Amongst them were Rosé, Mirabelle, and Strawberry Lavender flavors unlike anything I’ve ever tried before.

If you seek a new culinary experience or are in search of a wonderful cup of coffee, I highly recommend this location! I will be...
