Without further ado, we go over the best macarons in Singapore that excel in flavour, craftsmanship and creativity, ensuring that every bite is a memorable one.

Roughly 1 billion of different types of tea available! I wish I had ordered one of the cakes, they looked amazing. I did try the macarons, so good.

? Bought macarons at TWG. They were delicious as usual. The service at TWG Ion was top notch. ✔️The moment I entered at entrance, the staff already greeted me and led me in. The team here is cheerful and friendly.

Belle Oh
We had a pretty unsatisfactory dinner at a Japanese restaurant at ION but we were grateful that we walked into TWG thereafter to have some delicious desserts to appease my family and I. Service, ambience, the tea and the desserts were fantastic! Bought our favourite TWG macarons home too! Thank you for making our day!

Got them at the pop up store at Tampines! Really nice and delicious macaroons that are just right amount of sweetness! Went back 3 times to check out if they had restocked any new flavours!

Nicholas Yeo
Absolutely adorable and delicious! ? The macaroons here aren’t just tasty they’re little works of art. Each one is crafted with so much detail and personality that it feels almost too cute to eat (almost!). Flavours are spot-on, not overly sweet, and have that perfect chewy texture inside. The stall owners are friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. If you want a treat that will make you smile before you even take a bite, Sugarsmith is the place to go.

Rye Bee
Had their banana pudding matcha, sandwiches, mochi bento cake, cookies and cream fatcaron, it was all delicious. Craving for it again!

Maggie Chui
Love their desserts especially their seasonal ones. I’ve tried their fatcaroons, mochi cakes, banana pudding and toasties. Desserts are not very sweet and just nice for me. LBN is also a very nice friendly lady ?

Samantha Wang
Aesthetically pleasing decor. Delicious tall macarons with rich buttery filling and creamy durian cake with textured durian fibres in every mouthful. Service was great although very understaffed, poor lone girl was running the cashier and floor on her own but she made sure to respond to every request. Food was on the pricier side but I’ll definitely be back again.

Customer Reviews:

Julius Tan
Not a big fan of macarons but Pierre Herme’s macarons are divine. They were as good as I remembered when I first had them in Paris. That’s when I realised I didn’t dislike macarons; I just disliked bad ones. As we did not secure a reservation for the cafe, we could not dine in on the upper floor. We bought a box of 8 which we picked our favourite familiar flavours. I surprisingly liked the apricot macaron. The peanut butter Singapore exclusive and Plaisir Sucré cakes we ordered were both delicious and expertly crafted. The first-floor interior exuded a classy vibe, accentuated by the vibrant and colourful macarons displayed attractively.

Louisiana Espadrilles
They just opened this year but I have brought family members and friends visiting Singapore multiple times. I’m impressed by Isabel’s service. Her service is top notch. She is welcoming and always smiling. Can tell she’s well versed with the menu as she introduces new macaron flavours whenever I drop by. Onuard also served us and he was really focused on providing an excellent service. The food is yums and tye macarons are the best!!!

David Lim
Tried Pierre Hermé Paris at Resorts World Sentosa — their macarons, cakes, ice cream, coffee and chocolates were exquisite in both taste and presentation. The interior is sleek and contemporary, setting the perfect mood to indulge. The service staff were attentive and warm, making the experience even more enjoyable. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for such premium quality. It’s also a wonderful spot to pick up elegant gifts for family and friends — the packaging and flavors never fail to impress. Will definitely be back for more! ?

The macarons and chocolate-covered strawberries were absolutely delicious — honestly the best I’ve had after trying so many different shops. They even gave me a free tier tray to serve the macarons on, which was such a lovely touch. If you love macarons, you definitely have to try this shop!

I ordered from Catherine’s Macarons Dessert and had a wonderful experience! The macarons were fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor — crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The packaging was gorgeous, with delicate pastel colors that made it feel like receiving a special gift. The staff were cheerful and helpful, adding to the overall great experience. Highly recommended and absolutely delightful!

Kevin Gerard
Collected macarons and strawberries from Catherine’s Macarons Happy Desserts and had an extremely positive experience. From my initial enquiry to purchase everything was super quick smooth and efficient. Catherine is very friendly approachable and professional and her recommendations were helpful which made the decision easy. Collection was seamless and the macarons and strawberries were packaged neatly and with care. Even without tasting yet the service presentation and overall experience already stood out. Based on the smooth ordering process alone this is easily one of the best dessert ordering experiences and I would confidently recommend her!

The M Plot Cafe is small, cozy café with a calm, almost tucked-away feel, popular with people looking for a relaxed brunch or a quiet coffee break rather than a noisy café scene. Pleasant atmosphere, good quality of the coffee (especially iced lattes), and the macarons. Seating is limited, but super cozy

Jun wen

1. If You Want Elegant, Tea-Infused Macarons

What sets them apart is their use of signature tea blends infused directly into silky ganache fillings, such as Napoleon Tea & Caramel or Earl Grey & Chocolate.
