Macaron Bar

Everything is gluten free!! Lots of unique flavors, a few of our favorites were lemon lavender (not overpowering, just enough), salted caramel and gingerbread. They had a holiday special: $25 gets you a 12 pack, t-shirt and a $5 coupon for your next visit.

Nice concept and the place looks great. It's clean and the colors of the macarons are great against the white background. We took the family and were looking for an experience. It's called the Macaron Bar, which to me implies you could stay a while. Not so. They have 5 seats in the whole place. That's okay because there was no-one there. They do have a great variety, I guess. There were I believe 14 different flavors. We paid $25 for 12 macarons. We ate them and liked a couple of the flavors, but didn't love any of them. My daughter planned on buying a dozen when we got there, but after trying them she just bought 6. She only did that because her husband can't eat gluten and I guess macarons are gluten free because they're made with almond milk. We didn't have a great experience. We pretty much left with the idea that it was nice, but no reason to go back. So, the macarons are expensive. I think that's just the way it is. So I'm not knocking them on price. However, we purchased to enjoy them there and they packaged them in their lovely box for us to take and leave. Not what we were looking for. They didn't seem to have much stock so I'm guessing they didn't expect many customers. I don't know how much a lease runs for Over the Rhine, but I don't think they're going to sell enough macarons at $2.25 each to cover it. For my $25 I could get like 5 dozen assorted donuts. I'm thinking they won't be in business long. Best of luck though.
