I understand that not everyone pays attention to what they’re putting into their body, but some of us do and for a brand at this price point, that should be respected. There’s very little transparency around ingredients, which is concerning. For example:
– What kind of flour is being used: is it enriched/refined, potentially inflammatory, or a higher-quality alternative?
– The pistachio items have a very bright color. what is that coming from? Because it doesn’t seem to be from pistachios alone.
– Are there gums, stabilizers, or additives involved (like glycerol, glucose syrups, thickening agents)?
– What type of sugar is being used?
These are basic questions for people who are mindful about what they consume. If you’re charging premium prices and positioning yourself as a high-end brand, there should be a matching level of transparency and product knowledge.
The best macarons I’ve tried!

This store was a welcome oasis when bringing priority clients to Rock Center for a business meeting. The selection here is great and our eventual arrangement of goodies made for fun conversation fodder as we tried different flavors during what was a fairly high stakes meeting.
The manager in particular was especially friendly and helpful in accommodating a fairly high maintenance, inquisitive group. The lead client even quipped “we should hire her for the CMO role!”
Great experience and would highly recommend if you or others have sweet tooth and are in the area.

This was the perfect cup of rich hot chocolate and a pistachio macaron. I ordered my hot chocolate with whipped cream, but that was unnecessary. It would have been perfect without it.

The store is beautiful and the experience was great. The staff were friendly and everything looked elegant and well organized which I loved. The macarons were so soft, and full of flavor. Definitely some of the best macarons I’ve had in NY so far . I would definitely come back again.
