Leilalove Macarons - 12 Gourmet Macarons dozen flavors - box may vary in colors

I am very pleased with my order. The macaroons were very fresh. I will purchase this product again!!!

OMG! The best thing I have ever eaten! I grew up with coconut macaroons and didn’t know the difference from macarons. I have a mild reaction to coconut meat and couldn’t stand the idea of macaroons. Now I know the difference I am excited! MACARONS are the best! Addicted for life. Worth every penny.

Delicious. Gave one less star because it took 2 extra days to be delivered.

Yummy flavors though not a fan of the mint flavor.

I bought these as a gift for a friend. She thoroughly enjoyed them and said they were packaged nicely and had a wonderful note inside the box! She was thoroughly impressed!

I had really wanted to love these - but............. let me start with the packaging, it was cute - she did absolutely try to ensure they arrived unbroken and most did, there were 3 that were smashed - not sure how that happened, considering the care put into packaging, all were individually bagged and SOME had bubble wrap placed in between, but not each one. As for the flavor, I'm not a fan, there is a distinct "after taste" that is harsh, no idea what is is, but, it lingered long after. I also got a lot of what tasted like (and I could be wrong) almond extract - either way it was OVER powering. I also had a lot of coconut shavings in them, which I found not only texturally wrong, but the flavor was not good. The Macaron itself was hard, either cooked too long or not at all fresh - it was more of a hard cookie texture throughout rather than what an actual macaron should be - firm, but soft and chewy when you bite into it. These, unfortunately just were not what I was hoping for.

Our first package was delayed in the ice storm and some of the cookies were damaged in the process. The seller was super sweet and offered to send us another batch. This one arrived super quick! They are adorable and will be perfect for our Bridgerton themed shower!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I want to say the packaging was very well done. It comes with a card with all the flavors offered however you will only receive 12 of the 20 flavors featured. It comes with a note from the creator which I thought was a very nice touch. Comes packaged with wrapping all around the box and bubble wrap inside to avoid damage to the cookies. I will say I think this is more for people who like Intresting flavors. I was a fan of most of the basic flavors I received. The Mango, lemon Raspberry, Raspberry, Lavender, and Pistachio had a lot of flavor a little too much for my liking. Some of the cookies had little to no flavor for example the blueberry I didn’t taste any blueberry so I thought it was lavender until I had the lavender one and that hit me hard. The bag was mixed consistency wise. Some were hard, some melted. I think the little melted tastes better than the ones that were rock solid. Overall I don’t think it was worth the price it was listed for. I finished 6 out of the 12, I think it would be a better option if you could choose your own flavors. Not my first pick, but if the flavors were more balanced and not as overpowering than I might give it another try.
