Macaron Bar Lawrenceville — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

The Macaron Bar is a delightful easy to find little place on Penn avenue. I had been waiting months for this place to open. When you enter the building is nice and bright with white walls and a pop of color from the macaroons and the fun colorful balloon bulbs on the ceiling.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the process and flavor components of the macarons. I opted to buy 12 macarons in the $25 box. They have every flavor imaginable but my favorites were the toasted coconut and pistachio with the chocolate strawberry or birthday cake a close 3rd. It's going on 4 days later and they have kept just "ok" in the refrigerator. I recommend eating as soon as you buy them because the texture starts 2 fade fast.

The people that work here are extremely nice and friendly, but the prices won't make me a...

The macarons are absolutely amazing. I got the six pack for $17. I chose the flavors SnickerdoodleX2, Madagascar Vanilla, Salted Caramel, Fruity Cereal, and Birthday Cake. I’d say my favorite was between the Snickerdoodle and the Salted Caramel. These were all really good and I’d recommend to anyone. I was a bit sad by how expensive they were, but they were very good so I’d still get them. They are completely gluten free so that is nice for anyone with gluten allergies the kind lady serving me told me everything is gluten free down to the soap. I’d recommend coming here but be prepared for...
