Apparently this place supposedly has the best macarons in Arizona, but I was not impressed. We ordered the 1/4-inch dozen pack, all of which were different flavors, and my friends and I agreed that the only one that was worth having again was the pumpkin-flavored macaron - which was DELICIOUS but not enough to make up for the mediocre rest. When I eat a macaron, I expect 200+ calories of sugar and tasty filling in a pretty, shiny package. The shells were sloppy and cracked, the fillings were either too mild or too sweet, and some of the flavors were just... odd.\n\nTake my review with a grain of salt. I've only been here once, and it was only for macarons, so I have very little experience with their full menu. It could just be my own tastes since I am by no means a macaron connoisseur.\n\nTheir lunch food is supposed to be good, but then again the macarons are highly rated by fellow Yelpers, so who knows if I'll venture into the savory side of Essence Bakery Cafe.
