Omg! This place has the BEST chocolate croissants I have ever had! I love chocolate! In fact, I am a chocoholic, but I do believe chocolate has its place, and I usually dont care for mixing chocolate and regular bread products. However, the chocolate in these croissants was such good quality, and it blended perfectly with the type of croissant dough used. Also, the drinks here are outstanding! My husband ordered a cold coffee drink, and I ordered a black iced tea. Both were very good. It is just a tiny little store (right across the street from the Betsy Ross house), hardly noticeable but excellent! I highly recommend it!

I dont have much to say but I will say that the man working the day I was here was very friendly and that the macarons were fantastic. Took them to go and drove back to the Poconos before even sampling and they were simply incredible. Had a sampler of 8 different ones and Id get each one again (although the pistachio was my favorite), hard not to give this place 5 stars.I got a little artsy with their photos too haha

Was super excited to try their Kouign-amann and other pastries. I also got a feta and spinach croissant. First bite and there was a hair... very off putting.

This place has INCREDIBLE pastries and macaroons. Well be back. Soon. And often.

Chocolate kouign amann was my favorite. The pastry had a perfect caramelized crust and was perfectly flaky. The chocolate was such a good addition. Yum! My husband liked the butter croissant so much we went back for a second one the next day.Now to the macaroons.. so truly good. The cookie was perfect and the fillings were just right and full of flavor. I had the dark chocolate one and then the almond one day 2. Hubby had the peanut butter chocolate one & a dark chocolate one (we shared so we each had all 4) they were so good. Enjoy supporting another small business owner. My only suggestion for improvement would be to be open more days/hours for your customers.

Milk and Honey Macaron was delicious! We also had earl grey and lemon lavender both great! Iced tea and coffee were perfectly brewed. The barista was friendly and had good recommendations. Will definitely be back!

A huge selection of flavors on delicious macarons.I have only two complaints:1. Theyre only open 3 days a week (Friday-Sunday)2. They dont ship

Breakfast on the weekends is great. Their pastries are the best around.

Macarons are amazing, matcha pastry was not very good I couldnt taste much let alone matcha flavor.

Pastries here are so yummy! Big selection of savory and sweet pastries. Crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. So many macaroons too! Very friendly service is a huge plus!

Good. But you have to place order outside so cant see any of the stuff.also everything gets over pretty soon.

Here’s a wonderful idea... next time you go on Vacation you post on Google that your temporary close so that your clients don’t drive an hour and a half each way to go pick up macaroons. Absolutely unprofessional

Best pastries in philly… no contest

The vegan pastries are amazing! (Only available Saturdays as of now) Especially the fruit filled kouign amanns which trumped all the kouign amanns I’ve had in NYC. Looking forward to more vegan options! Maybe cronuts? Or egg tarts?…

Croissants and Macarons like in France. Beautiful, delicious pastries and coffee. We loved the simple elegance of this shop. Even a poster in the (clean) restroom had colored circles as the background that looked like the Macarons lined up on their trays out front.

My wife and I love this place! And our kiddos always get excited when they see pastries from ICI on the table. Everything they make is beautiful, delicate, and fabulous! A wonderful gem in the city of Philadelphia. Only problem is not being able to get there early enough in the day as they regularly sell out of items, so try to get your order in early, so worth it!

Five stars. Great coffee and croissants. They have an amazing collection of macarons each costing 2.25 and other dessert items like cookies.The outdoor seating is perfect for a spring/summer day. Nice, friendly staff too.

Really really really delicious!

The Macarons are mediocre compared to ones from laduree or even trader Joes, but the real star is the Kougin Amann which Is absolutely divine, a must try. Its a candied croissant type cake. I was understandably embarrassed with my pronounciation, so I suggest you spell it out when ordering.

Great little cafe with amazing macarons and delicious pastries!

Ici Macarons & Café has only been around for a few years, but from the start they have excelled at offering high quality French cookies and pastries and locally roasted coffee. While they have a strong assortment of treats, I’d suggest you come here for their macarons. Their passion and dedication to macarons is evident as soon as you walk through the doors. The glass display cases highlight the wide array of macarons available. I believe there are around 25-30 different colorful flavors (even ones like salted caramel, passion fruit, and lemon lavender). I was very impressed with the quality. I’ve even head that will create custom colors, if you so desire. So, indulge your taste buds with a few of your favorites or some new ones and enjoy the cozy café setting.

Stop whatever you’re doing and go to the ICI Macarons & Cafe. Order the almond croissant and the Boston Cream cruffin. Then kindly drop it off at my house (kidding?). Seriously though, this place has some major “best pastry ever” contenders. I love visiting here on a Saturday morning; it feels like you’re vacationing in your own city with the “treat yourself” mindset.

I love this place, everything I tasted so far tasted great, a hidden gem ! Fyi they take cards

Best macarons, best croissants Ive had outside of Paris! A perfect treat to take to the pier or a nearby park, or to bring to a friend.

Cute little store, they have the register up by the door and the items available have labels at the window on the left so you can see what they have before you order unlike some bakeries in the city during this pandemic.We enjoyed the kouign amann and what I think was lemon meringue something pastry. Both were good and I will definitely return for the macarons soon.

Hands-down best macarons Ive ever had. Coffee is great, too. Wish you guys were open for sit-in dining though.

Exceptional macarons and pastry. Order ahead via the website for smooth pickup on weekends.

Ive been looking for good viennoiserie all over since moving to Philly and this place has them. Their variations are excellent too.

Great selections of Macarons! All of the Macarons are good for the mouth and decoration for all occasions!! Best peanut butter croissant!!

I love the Macaroons here.

Wow! There are so many macaroon options to choose from and they taste GREAT. The variety here is amazing there is really something for everyone. On top of their macaroon they have other sweet treats and drinks. It is definitely the best macaroon cafe in the area. I look forward to coming here more are trying all of their flavours

We were blown away by the pastries at this place! Just across the street from the Betsy Ross house. It’s a can’t miss! Didn’t try a macaron but did try four items from the top shelves and the lemon curd pastry was absolutely phenomenal as were the s’mores one and the others. Just happened to stop here waiting for the wife at the national coffee chain on the corner before we went into TBRH.

They spell love C-r-o-i-s-s-a-n-t 🥐

Excellent coffee, croissants, and pan au chocolat. Chai was really good too (they said its made in-house, not from a commercial pre-mix) although I found it very mild for my taste (I just personally prefer a stronger, spicier masala chai). The star was the Kouign Amann! Worth a try if youve never had one but youre a fan of Croissants.

Lemon and Cream Cheese Kouign Amann are a dream. Buy more than one because you won’t want to share!

Ill make it short...go there. Excellent coffee and French pastries. Service was fun and attentive. Thanks for the calories.

The macarons were incredible!

I called today to place my first order! I cannot wait to try the macaroons for a surprise birthday party I’m hosting. The main reason why I’m writing this review is because the costumer service was outstanding. Chris was very helpful. He had a lot of great knowledge about the flavors and what they had to offer. His genuine personality truly shined. Thanks again for all of your help today Chris. I’m looking forward to trying all of the wonderful flavors he helped me choose for this weekend!

Got an iced coffee and a savory croissant. Very good! Very clean!

Very delicious! They have a good system in place, so picking up some goodies during this pandemic is both easy and safe. Ordering online was also very simple.

Pricey but delicious

The best macarons Ive ever had and the matcha latte was very good

So delicious

This place is an A+ all around. If my eating goals allowed me, I would go everyday!

Great service, cute cafe and nice place to enjoy something sweet.

This place is SO good. Coffee is great, pastries are amazing. We got the Brie bacon stuffed croissant and I highly recommend. The baristas are super nice- everyone here needs a raise, including the bakers. 10/10 you guys!!

I had a reservation for two on a friday night, at 6PM. We got seated promptly and there is a QR code to scan for the menu. We ordered lobster croquettes, salsiccia pizza (wood-roasted fennel, san marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, house-made garlic sausage, basil, parmesan), and caciocavallo stuffed meatballs. I really enjoyed the lobster croquettes, as it was very creamy inside. The gnocchi was delicious as well, although I am not a huge pasta fan. I do wish the pizza was less burnt and more crispier on the bottom. I have read some reviews saying the exact same thing -- that would be my only critique. The meatballs were way bigger than expected but was very tasty and filling.In all, we left extremely full and the prices were very reasonable for dinner. The staff was also friendly and the food came out at a good pace. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very busy and lively, as it is right in the center of the city.

Got their honey and lavender, lemon and lavender, and mocha and hazelnutalways amazing therelove their Kouign Amann Apple

My favorite place to get macarons in Philly!

The Best Macarons!!! Even Better than from Paris. Yes I said it.

I found this cafe while on my way to another cafe. Although I do not remember the name of the pastry I ate, I do recall it was similar in size and shape of a muffin, had a caramelized exterior and an apple filling. I also had a cafe au lait, a la Americano, which was also quite good. No one can enter the establishment, at the time of this review, but one can either order at the window, or order ahead. All staff members were wearing face masks, and often sanitized their hands (yes, I lost count). There were outdoor tables, as well, which is an option for the next time I visit Philadelphia.

Beautiful and delicious macaroons with fantastic coffee

This Lovely coffee shop offers delicious drinks and pastries. It has probably one of my favorite croissants and macaroons in the area. The staff is also very friendly and the ambience is quiet. The place is excellent if you are looking for a spot to study or work while enjoying a nice cappuccino. I highly recommend this place as it is one of favorites spots in old city to visit. Never crowded and will always feel welcomed.

I adore this cafe. The best croissants Ive had in any major city in the United States. You might have to visit France to find better! The macarons are also excellent. Everything baked fresh on the premises daily (I believe by the owners). Ive been frequenting this place for about a year as a local, and I love coming here. The shop is always kept immaculate and super clean, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and all the baked items and drinks are excellent. Highly recommended.

Love the kouign Amman and the hot chocolate

Most amazing croissant ever.

Much more chill than that *other* coffee shop up the block. Dozens of french macaron flavours. Innovative french-style pastries. Coffee, espresso drinks, specialty drinks (lavender lemonade etc). Unisex restroom. Wifi. Intimate, but seating for about 20.

This place is GREAT!!! I went there for the first time. I use to go all the way to New York just to get them from Whoops. I’ve found a new home. Customer service is outstanding !!!

The pastries are amazing. The macaroons are heavenly.

Loved the customer service.

Best macarons in the city. Period! Selection is constantly rotating but the staples are always available. Good pastries and coffee as well. Staff have always been friendly and enthused to help. Definitely worth trying out.

Wow - macarons as good as when we first discovered them in Paris. The flavors are unique and yummy!!! Friendly service too. What a gem of a find.

I had the mocha latte. Great! I tried 3 macarons and all 3 were delicious! The best Ive found so far. I recommend trying the milk n honey, strawberry and almond praline. The latter is my new favorite treat.

Great ambience, beautiful and delicious macarons and pastries! Good coffee selection as well

Macarons with ☕️

Very delicious macaroons!!! Unlike others macaroons here in United States that are overly sweet. And the texture is also perfect. The best one I found in philadelphia.

The best macarons in Philly - if not in the whole US. My favorite is the lavender lemon but honestly I havent try one I didnt like. Their croissants and pastries are absolutely delightful. Everything is done in house. Owners and staff are great persons with high standards. Highly recommended.

Yummy 😋

Adore this place! The almond croissant is amazing. And I may have taken their macaroons with me to India upon request from an ex-Philly resident.

Stumbled across ICI by chance - we were delivering wedding flowers in the city and had lots of time to kill in between venues... Absolutely FABULOUS! As a foodie, I can appreciate a true macaron - but at these prices - its like theyre giving them away!! Incredible!! Beautiful and delicious!! The coffee and espresso are well made and the owner even waited on us!! Friendly, clean, perfectly presented - everything you could want from a quaint shop in the heart of Philadelphia. The ambiance is perfect, the macarons are wonderful... We left with almost one of each 26 flavors to go!! Cant wait to come back and try the croissants and other baked goods!!

Ive been meaning to try this place for the longest time and I finally did this past weekend. We ordered the lemon meringue pastry, the nutella pudding pastry and the boston cream cruffin. They were all AMAZING!!! Legit Amazing! This is going to be my new pastry spot in Old City. Cant believe it took me so long to try this place!

I only want to speak to the baked goods and non-coffee drinks. All are done to perfection. The on-site made peanut-butter and jelly croissant is delish, the macaroons superb, whatever they put in the baked goods case is amazing as is the atmosphere. Enjoy.

The macaroons are amazing...but expensive! $2.25 each no matter how many you purchase. They have a fantastic selection of unique flavors, however. I also recommend the matcha latte!

Delicious macaroons

Stopped at this place accidently while looking for coffee on a chilly day. Amazing macaroons and coffee. They have really unique flavours in macaroons like hibiscus, pistachio absolutely love it. And the coffee is so so good so rich. In other coffee shops I usually ask for double shot in capacino here I did not have to the staff told me they make all coffee with double shot so it was a big plus for me.

Great selection of macaroons. I just dont dig the location or the ambience. I think I would have liked it better if I had just grabbed a bag for the kiddos and left instead of sitting down.

They have a salted caramel macaron that made me melt into a puddle, and I havent even tried all the flavors yet. All their other macarons are flavorful and perfectly made. The cafe is small and intimate, perfect place for a quiet coffee and cake break. I havent tried all their pastries but its clear a lot of hard work and attention to detail goes into everything they do here. Ill be back again and again.

Amazing macarons! Fresh, flavorful and a lot of flavors options to choose from!

Absolutely delicious!!😘

My daughter and I walked in we were served right right away and we picked out 12 macaroons and now I wish we would have picked out 24 these macaroons are so good!!! The texture is very different than any dessert Ive ever had: I am definitely going back for more thats for sure !! YUMMMM

One of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had.

Such a nice little spot in old city! Best of luck to this place I will certainly patronize this place again! VERY DELICIOUS MACARONS (especially the dark chocolate ones!)

Was delicious. Just wish they could have heated the croissant up. Coffee and croissants were wonderful

Great little gem in Old City! The hot chocolate, tea, and service were all great. Definitely worth checking out if youre in the area.

Amazing pineapple filled shortbread cookie. Lavender lemonade was really good. Definitely worth a visit.

Philadelphia Parisian at its finest. Delectable croissants that, in taste and in structure, remind me of the patisseries of France. The macaroons are decadent with a rotating selection of inventive flavors.

Creative pastries. Get the PB and J croissant.

Loved it there. You have to try the cookies.

The most wonderful almond croissants. Cocoa is delicious.

Some of the most friendly and cordial baristas youll find anywhere. A great place to treat yo self and chill

Great macarons, very well displayed, and reasonable prices for coffee

Introduced to Mexican Hot Cocoa, very homey place to sit down and have a nice warm cup and something g good to eat

Great Kouign-Amann and cruffins, and a gigantic assortment of macarons

Nice place lay back cookies were great... Little pricy but worth it best cookies was the passion fruit and hazel chocolate.... Try it 😍only reason why its 4 stars was beacuse of the price....

Excellent kouign amans and macarons. Hot chocolate was superior. This small eatery is worth the trip to center city

So many flavors, so little time. I got rose and earl grey and they were perfect.

Very delicious macarons, lemon and coffee are my favorite so far. We will be back.

Absolutely authentic French croissants and macrons ... as good as any Ive had during my 20 trips to France. Please note that macarons are NOT macaroons. Sunday mornings we drive into Philly from our home in South Jersey just for their lattè and croissant.

Sorta a hidden gem. Love stopping in here to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee and some delicious macaroons.

Wonderful macarons, best Ive ever had.
