There’s nothing like a good macaron – lightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with a delicious burst of sweet flavor. It can be tough to come by a perfect example of this popular French dessert, but in Hamtramck, Michigan, there’s one little bakery that’s made a name for itself as one of the best and most creative macaron shops around.
Le Detroit Macaron, which opened in 2017, celebrates Detroit’s French history. The little Parisian shop features over 16 unique flavors of macarons daily, including a variety of vegan and gluten-free flavors.
Step inside this adorable patisserie and you’ll find rows and rows of colorful macarons, along with charming artwork on the walls.
With such a rainbow of flavors available, it’s hard to pick just a few! Some of Le Detroit Macaron’s classic tried-and-true flavors include almond, pistachio, vanilla bean, hazelnut, and lemon zest.
But the bakery also specializes in some truly unique macaron creations, like rose cardamom, fruity cereal, Cosmic Brownie, and even Pop Rocks! The hardworking staff at Le Detroit Macaron are always coming up with new and delicious flavors, so there’s always something new to try on the menu. For example, seasonal flavors for the holiday season have included Sugar Cookie Dough, Gingerbread Cheesecake, and Sugar Plum.
There’s even a cookie dough macaron, which replaces the classic French buttercream filling with irresistible chocolate chip cookie dough.
Looking for an extra special treat for a birthday party or other occasion? Le Detroit Macaron also makes Number Macarons, available in all different colors and flavors.
And macarons aren’t the only thing on the menu. The shop also sells decadent cinnamon rolls on a limited basis. They sell out fast, but they’re absolutely worth showing up early for.
