Discovering J’aime les Macarons at Commercial Bay, Auckland

What started as a simple lunch plan at Commercial Bay somehow ended with a small red box that instantly lifted my mood. While walking through the mall earlier, I noticed J’aime les Macarons. Bright colours. Elegant display. Completely impossible to ignore.

After lunch, we came back and appropriately committed. Six macarons. No regrets.

Crème Brûlée Macaron:

The first bite set the tone. A crisp shell followed by that unmistakable crack, then a soft custardy centre that tasted exactly like a proper crème brûlée. For a brief moment, I genuinely forgot where I was. This one alone is worth the visit.

Tropical Mango and Pineapple Macaron:

Bright, juicy and refreshing. Mango and pineapple work together perfectly, like sunshine in macaron form. Light, vibrant and dangerously easy to eat.

Salted Butter Caramel Macaron:

Sweet, salty and rich. This is the kind of flavour that quietly slows you down without you realising. Comforting, indulgent and very hard to stop at one bite.

Lemon Macaron:

Sharp, clean and refreshing. The perfect reset after the more decadent flavours. Balanced acidity with a smooth finish that keeps everything feeling light.

Scorched Almond Macaron:

Deep, nutty and slightly chocolatey. This one made me pause—bold flavour, grown up and complex, and easily one of the most interesting in the box.

Pistachio Macaron:

Delicate and beautifully made. Soft and gooey inside with a crisp shell that melts as soon as you bite. It had tough competition after the earlier flavours, but it still held its own.

Why J’aime les Macarons Is One of the Best Dessert Stops in Auckland?

Every macaron had the perfect balance. Crisp shell. Soft interior. Clean flavours that never felt artificial or overly sweet. These are carefully made, refined and genuinely memorable.

Honestly, these might be the best macarons I have had anywhere.

If you are visiting Auckland, do not skip J’aime les Macarons at Commercial Bay. And if you have already tried them, tell me honestly, which flavour wins for you?
