French Macarons in Los Angeles
Delicate almond shells and silky ganache in a rainbow of flavors, made fresh by hand — for gift boxes, wedding towers, and every occasion worth celebrating.
A Rainbow, Made to Order
Two dozen flavors rotate through the case — here's how you'll want to take them home.
A Little Atelier, an Obsessive Craft
Bonbon Atelier began with two years in a Paris pâtisserie and one stubborn conviction: that a macaron is either perfect or it isn't, and 'close' doesn't count. Eight years on West 3rd later, we're still chasing that perfect shell — smooth top, ruffled foot, a bite that shatters and then goes chewy.
Everything is made by hand, in small batches, fresh every day. We age our egg whites, pipe every shell, and fill each macaron with ganache we make in-house — real fruit, real chocolate, real pistachio, never a shortcut or an artificial anything. It's a fussy, temperamental little cookie, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Twenty-four flavors, a rainbow of colors, and not one of them sweetened past the point of elegance. That's the whole atelier.
- ✓Trained in Paris, made in LA

Almost Too Pretty to Eat
Almost. A little macaron appreciation for your afternoon.
The Fussiest Cookie There Is
A macaron is all technique. Here's the part we obsess over.
01Age & Whip
We age our egg whites and whip a glossy meringue — the finicky first step that decides whether a shell rises smooth.
02Pipe & Rest
Every shell is piped by hand and rested until it forms a skin, so it bakes with that signature smooth top and ruffled foot.
03Fill & Mature
We fill each with house-made ganache and let them mature a day, so the flavor melds and the texture turns perfect.

Los Angeles Is Obsessed
Bonbon Atelier makes the best macarons in Los Angeles, and I have made it my personal mission to verify this repeatedly. The shells shatter perfectly, the pistachio is impossibly good, and every box looks like jewelry. I bring them to every party and take full credit. Flawless.
They built a macaron tower for my wedding in our exact colors and it stopped the entire room. Beyond beautiful, and every guest said it was the best thing they ate all night. The team was a dream to work with. Genuine artistry — I still think about that tower.
We order custom-branded macarons for client gifts and they are always a showstopper — our logo colors, perfect little boxes, and they taste as good as they look. Bonbon makes us look incredibly thoughtful with zero effort. Our not-so-secret weapon. Everyone asks where they're from.
A box of the rose and lychee macarons with a cup of tea in their pretty little café is my favorite hour in LA. Every flavor is balanced and elegant, nothing too sweet. It feels like a tiny trip to Paris on West 3rd. I'm there far more often than I'll admit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make custom colors and branding?
It's one of our specialties. We match custom shades to your wedding palette, brand, or event exactly, and can print or emboss your logo on shells and boxes. Tell us your colors and vision, and we'll create macarons that are precisely, beautifully yours. Reach out early for custom work, especially towers and large orders.
How far ahead should I order a tower?
For macaron towers and large event orders, we recommend two to four weeks, and more for peak wedding season. Gift boxes and smaller orders often need only a few days. The sooner you reach out, the more we can design for you — and the beautiful dates book up fast.
How long do the macarons keep?
Our macarons are at their best within about five days, kept refrigerated and brought to room temperature before eating. They actually improve a day after filling as the ganache matures. They also freeze beautifully for up to a month, so a box is never wasted.
Do you cater weddings and events?
We love it — towers, displays, favor boxes, and custom assortments for weddings, showers, launches, and corporate events of any size, all made fresh in your colors for your date. Share your headcount, palette, and vision and we'll design something unforgettable.
Are your macarons gluten-free?
Macarons are naturally made with almond flour, so they contain no wheat — but our kitchen also handles other pastries with gluten, so we can't guarantee a fully gluten-free environment for those with celiac. We're always happy to talk through what we can safely do for you.
Where are you, and do you have a café?
We're on West 3rd Street in Beverly Grove, with a pretty little café where you can enjoy a box of macarons with a proper tea or espresso. Come see us Tuesday through Sunday — it's the closest thing to Paris you'll find on the block.
