FAQ

What is a macaron?

A macaron is a pastry that has a meringue shell made with almond flour that "sandwiches" a flavorful filling or ganache.
Are your macarons gluten-free?

Yes, all of our macarons are made with almond flour! Some fillings may contain wheat - currently, the two flavors that do are Chocolate Pretzel and Tiramisu.
How long do your macarons maintain fresh?

For best results, consume immediately or refrigerate upon arrival and consume within 5-7 days of delivery. They can alternately be frozen upon arrival for up to 4 weeks. If you will be storing them in a refrigerator, please leave them out for approximately 10 minutes until they reach reach room temperature or 30 minutes if coming from the freezer. The fillings are softer at room temperature and make the bite that much more enjoyable!

Unfortunately, all of our macarons contain dairy. We're working on some non-dairy/dairy alternative recipes. Please stay tuned for updates!
