Macarons by Sani

So good!! Perfect crumble with moist gooey center. Favorites of our family were raspberry, cotton candy, orange, almond, and tiramisu!! Very friendly and cute shop. We will definitely go back :)

I have been here twice now. The service is warm and friendly, the shop is adorable. That's for the two stars.

To preface this, I used to make macarons daily as a pastry cook in Manhattan.

The macarons here are simply not good. I have had 14 different macarons from this place from the two visits. The first time 3 of the 4 macarons were crunchy with no softness whatsoever! The softer one had a filling with more moisture and I'm guessing that's why it was softer. It was during their soft opening so I was hoping it was a fluke.

The second time I bought ten macarons, each one a different flavor. All but three were crunchy and hard! If they were not hard they were somehow dry. I was so disappointed. The box was supposed to be shared between myself, two kids and my husband. We would take a small bite from each. I tried each one hoping for a properly textured macaron. We ended up tossing out half of them. I make macarons frequently so my kids are spoiled with them but didn't want these macarons.

The fillings (minus the coffee one) are veeerrry sweet and reminiscent of canned frosting, which I do like but not for an already sweet cookie. The flavors themselves were very good though and therefore the third star. I could taste the food coloring in some cookies but I have a strong taste for that, it always taste bitter to me.

I don't know where the good reviews come from, I don't know if they've never had a proper macaron and just don't know any better. The business this was bought from (Ooh La La Macarons) made very good macarons that were soft and chewy and I'm not sure when the ball dropped but these just aren't good. I hope it changes bc it would be a lovely addition to Waterloo, so long as they turn out proper, soft/chewy/slightly crispy macarons, not hard and crunchy cookies. They should be delicate little chewy clouds. Not hard or crunchy, ever.

Very friendly people and good customer service! Whoever made these macarons, compliments to you, fantastic job! Will definitely come back when visiting Waterloo.

THE BEST MACARONS ANYWHERE!! A place like no where else in town, a place you can come and hang out with your girlfriend, have coffee, something sweet to eat, and one of the best hostesses. I just love coming here ❤️

Fantastic macarons! I enjoyed the rose flavored one, but my husband said the blueberry was amazing also. Cute shop too.

This place is my favorite guilty pleasure. Never had macaroon but I get the wafers (❤️ my wafers)and other desserts. The spinach thing is omg good.

Delightful macarons. Adorable French Cafe vibe in the bakery. A MUST stop in the Waterloo area.

I ordered 2 Birthday Cakes they were created with an artistic touch, absolutely beautiful and delicious too!

Very good! Soft chewy cookie with a light crisp/crunch. Excellent customer service. Will definitely be back when in town again. Thank you.

Clean, cute dessert place! :) Sweet owner and delicious treats! Perfect to enjoy with coffee or tea.
