Great variety in pastries and handmade gelato, natural flavors are the biggest characteristic for the gelato offered, Macaron or Macaroon are exceptionally in texture, color, softness, flavor and smell.Store was clean, staff very nice but sometimes can be very busy with orders on the phone.Unfortunately I have a non desired surprise in my gelato but for sure I will be recommending this place on the west coast.

Ever since I moved to LA I’ve been having a hard time finding a good coffee place. I decided to check this place out and it’s safe to say - this is the one!The quality and preparation of coffee is just perfect! The staff is very friendly and helpful for everything you may not know. Their macaroons are always on point and they always have a variety of fun flavors!I love their pastries and don’t even get me started on gelato!After your purchase is done they have a beautiful patio outside with a few options for sitting. If you like a shaded area - you got it but you can also sit on the pavement or the little grassy area under a tree, it’s beautiful!All in all, I love coming here and I always have a great experience and if Google had a 10 star rating I would definitely be giving it toLe Macaron!

Espresso here is exceptional. Theres a wide variety of macaroon flavours to choose from. Macaroons are delicious as are the truffles. Friendly service and on a warm sunny day you can enjoy the treats on the patio.

Im staying around Montana for about a month now, My favorite thing to do every day morning is to get a dry cappuccino. Its always very hot, nice and strong, great quality coffee. I have been to all coffee shops on Montana this place so far is my favorite, most places are unable to make a good cappuccino on the dry side while keeping it very hot.

Disappointing Macarons! Had to get La Durée ones to make it up. Please look for another wholesale Bakery for your Pastries (The competition around has better ones). I just really want to give you guys another shot....

The americano is good, shame we couldnt get the drip coffee. The ricotta cranberry croissant was delish. The macarons didnt make the cut, they were not as good as they appear.The service and atmosphere is perfect for a little soirée.

Tasty and not too sweet! The owner Vincet is very friendly. He tells you a story of where the chocolate comes from by showing you a map, which is on the wall. Self parking on the streets and there is no bathroom.

I went to several famous bakeries in the area over the course of a few days, and this was my favorite. I got the almond croissant which was very filling. The texture and flavors were perfect.I would recommend getting here early in the mornings; there was a line out the door when I got there around 9. But its worth the wait!

Missed notification of a cancelled appointment worked out in my favor. An hour with nothing to do and I ended up at Le Macaron. An almond milk mocha, a baguette, an apple turnover and almond pastry later (to go! I did not eat them all in one sitting 😁), Im hooked. The flakiness of the turnover pastry is exactly how I remember it from home. Absolutely delicious. And the mocha was perfect.Its probably a good thing Im not in the neighborhood too often, or Id be there every day😬. But Ill definitely be back.

The service is darling and authentically French; the coffee, drinks, macarons, chocolates, pastries and drinks are fresh and delicious, and I adore the seating area inside and out. I watched the World Cup here because the community is fantastic. My favorite spot on Montana! xoxo

Best coffee in the city, delicious pastries and more, charming outdoor seating with ocean air and great service! This is an easy recommendation to make for anyone, whether you live in town or just visiting.

Review №35

This place had the worst customer service Ive ever experienced. I ordered a vanilla iced latte with easy ice and what they gave me tasted exactly like a cup of milk. Because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and I had just spent upwards of $5 on this drink, I went in and politely requested that they either remake the drink or remedy it in some way. To this request, I received an eye roll and a statement that I will have to pay $3 extra for them to add more coffee. My other option was to repurchase the drink for another $5 and hope that they make the drink correctly the second time. Furthermore, both women working repeatedly told me that the drink tasted like this because I asked for less ice. In my eyes, a request for less ice is not a request for more milk. This was a terrible purchase and experience. The poorly made drink coupled with the rude customer service has ensured that I will not be returning. I have nothing positive to say about this business.

I love everything about this place! My husband and me visited the LA Macaron Cafe recently and we already know we will be back very, very soon! Awesome Strawberry Rhubarb cake deserves a special attention and lots of great variations of macarons! Plus excellent customer service, beautiful decor and very unique, nice location on Montana.I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves cakes as much as I do! :)

The Macarons are made from scratch daily, with a variety of natural flavors. They are so fresh, they melt in your mouth! Dont forget to try the Calissons, the traditional French fruit and almond paste candies that remind you of marzipan candies.

This is exactly how a bakery and cafe should be! I love coming to Le Macaron on Montana because the owners, Vincent and Sixtine are so welcoming and make me feel right at home. It is Paris meets Santa Monica in a tasty little macaron.They offer a selection of gluten free and vegan pastries, as well as their signature technicolored macarons. The coffee is delicious. I’ve spent a few hours doing work here and it’s such a relaxing place to get things done!Highly recommend spending an hour lingering over coffee and treats on their outdoor patio. Can’t be missed! If you’re a local, you’ll become a regular.

I recently moved to LA from France, Paris, and it is a pleasure to find such delicious pastries here. I especially loved the macaroons (delicious, and so many flavors to choose from) and the pain au chocolat ! Will definitely come back !

Review №53

Lets be clear about what this is here - Le Macaron is a franchise with locations all over the US. They do not make anything in house and their chocolates are made by a certain b2b (business to business) company called Mokau chocolates out of Miami, Florida. The shopkeeper said something about how the person who makes the chocolates is a MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France - a distinguished culinary honor), which is simply not true and that they get the chocolates from downtown.I think its fine to run a franchise, all the more power to you, but you should be more honest about your business practices and where you are sourcing your products.I guess I just wish someone around Santa Monica actually made their own pastries and chocolates.
