Jessica de OliveiraDecember 8, 2015The macarons here are light as air and its an experience in itself biting into one of these babies. Definitely check out their downtown location as well as it is less crowded and has more dining space
Angela FemaleDecember 17, 2013In from Paris, this company is seen all over. And they taste just as delicious as they did when on the Eiffel Tower. And just as pricey. $2.75/PC. But well worth for a taste of the City of Lights.Upvoted Feb 16
New York HabitatDecember 12, 2011If you haven't been the the Maison Ladurée in Paris, this is a must. If you have been, this is still a must. At $2.75 per macaron, feel free to splurge. We recommend the salted caramel.
Ladurée has successfully made the jump to the US. Stores can be found all across the city, but this location is adorable and has incredible service. Try everything, but Ladurée thy name is macarons!
Social News NetworkNovember 5, 2013Best macaroons outside of Paris? YES! Try pistachio, coffee, rose but don't miss out on their seasonal flavors...just break down & get a box for a variety! It lives up to the hype & is worth the line.- Djaniella D.December 10, 2014Honestly, you can't go wrong here because Ladurée's macarons will keep you coming back for more! I'm slowly making my way through all the delicious flavors.
Delta WilliamsMarch 14, 2014Best Macaroons in NYC! Be prepared to spend some money though, they are about $2.25 each and you can't just get one! Also, the staff has the cutest uniforms!
Andres NovoaNovember 4, 2015Amazing macarons. I highly recommend the vanille, fruits rouge and the Marie Antoinette. The mille fuelle was very good as well!! Their tea is also amazing! I recommend the yellow one!
I love this place! Macaroons so light & fluffy they'll have you floating on cloud nine! Friendly staff and it's the perfect place to get your dessert fix! The true gem of Madison Avenue!- Natalia GorevaMay 28, 2013Rose petals and salted caramel macaroons are the best. Coffee ice-cream was really good too. Paris-themed displays are gorgeous! As to their no photo policy, we took a bunch of pics, they didn't mind!
Chris SteeleDecember 26, 2014Decisiveness pays in the (often interminable) line at this fine purveyor of macarons. When in doubt, go with your gut, or at least ask for a recommendation. There are few ways to go wrong here.
Tash ConcepcionAugust 17, 2014Don't be fooled by other imitators. This is THE place to get the best macarons! Period. Light, fluffy and melts in your mouth without being sickeningly sweet. A must try.
Kevin LuDecember 21, 2012The famous macarons certainly have no equal. But at nearly $3.00 apiece, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to indulge in these fine creations on a regular basis. However they do make a fantastic gift.
Elaine KwanNovember 29, 2013If you're unsure what to try first, cannot go wrong with pistachio. If you want to use it as gift, do the 8 macarons in their complimentary box for 22.40 (2.80/per macaron).
Casey DantonOctober 17, 2013I took one bite of the vanilla macaron and almost fell over it was so delicious. I'm not even engaged and am planning to have shelves of them at my wedding.
Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013Make sure there's a soft-hued pistachio macaron in your order; add on a vanilla speckled with what seems like a million vanilla beans; and a salty caramel that's bold on the salt.
Theres no salon de thé in this location. Good place to stop by and have some macarons while walking down the madison avenue.
Kenny KhuuAugust 6, 2018My travel ravaged macarons. Super crisp shell and a chewy center with good flavors. Would prefer a bit softer filling. $2.80 a pop hurts the value some.
Halstead PropertyNovember 11, 2011Worlds best macaron has landed right on Madison Ave, you would expect the rose petal ones to taste like potpourri but its actually one of the best flavors. Not too sweet and the filling is so light
The Corcoran GroupJune 21, 2013Celebrating the arrival of summer with a limited edition decadent gift box available for 8 or 18 Macaroons. Definitely include the new summer flavor Yuzu Ginger.
So happy that Ladurée finally opened a shop in the US! I love their fruit flavored macarons. You can't go wrong with the raspberry or lemon macarons.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014A wonderful place to go for brunch. I love the soft scrambled eggs with truffles. Finish on a sweet note with one of their famous macarons!
Citron, salted caramel, and vanilla macarons.... I got your make a wish order ready for you. And don't forget the plasir sucre cake! #noregrets
Katharine HardisonJuly 6, 2013This macaron place is straight from Paris and well worth the line. It's a great starting or end point for a stroll down Madison Ave (walk toward 60th St) to do some designer widow shopping.
Nicole McAfeeApril 6, 2016The raspberry and pistachio are AMAZING--you'll never be truly satisfied with any other macarons ever again.
ZenFoodsterNovember 3, 2011I'd lose a fortune & gain a ton if I lived any closer...The most heavenly, delicate macarons have arrived from Paris to NYC: orange blossom, rose & ginger, blackcurrant violet, & many more.
Maeve O'BrienJune 4, 2018It may seem ridiculous to spend $21 on a few macarons, but isn’t the best macaron you will have in your life priceless?
katherine chenJuly 24, 2013Very luxurious macarons in beautiful boxes but for a hefty price. $2.80 a macaron and boxes cost extra. Must be eaten immediately otherwise the cookies tend to go stale and hard fast.
MohamedNovember 10, 2015They don't serve French toast in both branch. But you can try pistachio and rose macaroons. Also rose or pistachio milkshake !!!! ✌🏼️
TeeAnje BrightAugust 11, 2014THE mother of all Macaron. if you want authentic Paris macaron, this is the place to be. Long lines, but worth the wait!!
Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017Oui oui. Madison Ave. Macarons. Upper East Side. Très Chic. (But seriously I like going here).
Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014They are most famous for the macaroons. The have a very intense European butter flavor... Which some people may care for and others may find too be too much.- SherylCTJuly 16, 2014A must go if you are in NYC & can't get to Paris! The Macarons here are yummy and my fave is the raspberry!
Jenn ZhangMay 10, 2013the Original inventors of the 'double-decker' style macarons; they're flown in from the shoppe in Paris. can't go wrong here, except on your wallet...
Ghazaal ParastooeiMarch 30, 2023Macarons are magic on earth! Also tried their pistachio cake, and it was the most exceptional cake taste ever!
Sarah F. ParsonsMarch 24, 2014A perfect Sea salt caramel Macaron is fantastic after a visit to the dentist. Even though it's forbidden! Especially because it's naughty!- Kavita ROctober 12, 2013If you want the best macaroon in NY then this is the place to visit. 8 macaroons in the complimentary box is only $22.80.
AnthonyDecember 21, 2011Yes, the macarons are the best. No, don't wait on line unless u have nowhere to be & high tolerance for pretension. Slow counter kids + insufferable Up.East Siders. Pick out 36, 1 by 1? Gimme a break!
Sarah AnnAugust 8, 2014Service is alright. I'm a BIG gossip girl fan & love macaroons. So if you like one or both this is the place!!
Deborah CardosoApril 21, 2012Beautiful packaging and according to my mom, the best macaroons in the world! Fresh daily batches, beats taking a plane to Paris. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Jess LeungMay 6, 2012There's no doubt as to why these are the original, and best, macarons in the world. Crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, one is just never enough.
SO THRILLED that Laduree has come to NY!!! :D :D Vanille and pistache are amaazing. Melon & fraise mentholée (the summer seasonal flavors) were amazing, but are no longer here.
Lydia BuckiusMay 25, 2015If your dying to try it just love macaroons Ladurée is perfect. Macaroons always fresh and oh so sweet.
Zizhen ZhangJanuary 7, 2016Beautiful store. The macaroons were fantastic. But several years ago, it sold key chains, notebooks and cups, now they are cancel. Regret!
Town and Country MagazineMay 17, 2012"Ladurée, the Parisian patisserie founded in 1862, is often envied for its double-decker macaroons, whose flavors shift with the seasons." As seen in Town & Country, September, 2011, page 58
Jen WDecember 7, 2013So they were on Gossip Girl, but who remembers that? Season flavors are a must to check out! Just don't hold up the line by being confused.
Breanne StoreyOctober 7, 2012Get the salted caramel macaroons, you will not be disappointed! They go perfectly with a cup of the Marie Antoinette tea :)
Best place to refuel after shopping! Most of the workers are French (thus, it's a great place to practice your Francais :) )
Khalil ibitefoodAugust 11, 2014Now the croissants and pastries are available in addition to the macarons
