I just went to a cute little cafe downtown. I got a few macarons because I haven't tried them, and they're absolutely delicious. /ck/ told me they were bad, bland and only there to look good. why the lies?

they're not really that good, if you want dessert, get a crepe or a tiramisu, hell, even a brownie

It's more the culture around them that annoys me: around here they're every 30 year old nouveau riche woman's favorite delicacy. People are way too snobby about (and pay way too much for) something that amounts to sugar on top of sugar with a bit of sugar in the middle.
They're alright, although I find them too sweet, but they're just not something that should be treated or priced that way.

There is one of these in my city. Is only the paris one good?

This, Laduree is the only place where I have had excellent macarons in the US, the majority of them are crap. They aren't even expensive either, as compared to other macarons sold in other pastry shops, they're in the same general price range that macarons are usually sold for. Totally worth it.

finding good macarons is hard
they're expensive and difficult to make so it's easy to imagine plebs trying to cheap out on them and then being disappointed

/ck/ says these are bad? Huh.

I see them at most bakeries but I've only had them from one place where they were actually good. Oftentimes they're stale or otherwise shitty and basically garbage.
