14 years.
We opened Macaron Parlour on a whim in March 2010 as part of a whirlwind romance between an unlikely couple. I was in pastry school and hoped to work in restaurants, Simon was trying to find his footing again during the Great Recession. Somehow, in the midst of chaos, nothing felt more secure than having our own business. We would be working for ourselves and that felt so exciting and appealing.
We never expected that adventure to continue for as long as it has. In the time since, we got married, opened a storefront, and somehow found ourselves on multiple adventures. Our current location is our 3rd and it's time for us to say our goodbye. This weekend will be our last as a cafe.
This summer, we'll be taking some time off from the retail side of running a business. Our kitchen team is still intact while we test out new products and perhaps you'll be able to join us for a baking class. You'll still be able to find our macarons online or at . We'll see you on Bastille Day with our ice cream sandwiches and character macarons. We'll be at a variety of pop ups around the city. If we're so lucky, we hope to see you again at the Union Square Holiday Market. Our cookies and tea cakes will be at the cafe. You might bump into Simon at the opening of a brand new restaurant and maybe you'll see me on another cat adventure in the neighborhood. So we'll be around, it'll just be different.
Thank you for being part of our family for the past 14 years and we're sure to see you again soon. ❤️
