Welcome to Macaron, a charming café nestled in the heart of Manta, Ecuador. This delightful French bakery offers a cozy ambiance, making it a perfect spot for both locals and travelers alike to indulge in the rich flavors of authentic French pastries.

As you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere envelops you, beckoning you to explore the delightful selections that await. The café is renowned for its flaky pastries that truly celebrate the essence of French baking. Picture this: a fresh French baguette, golden-brown and crusty on the outside, soft and airy on the inside—perfect for a quick bite or to take home.

Don’t miss out on their exquisite macarons, a staple that draws raves from many patrons, though some find them on the pricier side at $1.25 each. Each macaron is a little piece of heaven, with a crisp shell that gives way to a luscious filling, making them an absolute must-try.

One of the reviewers, Alanna Petrusich, gleefully shouts from the rooftops about the fabulous French baguettes and the overall quality of the bakery: "Probably the best bread in Manta!" The café has recently opened a small cappuccino bar, transforming it into a delightful pit stop for coffee lovers. Try a creamy cappuccino alongside their fruit-filled empanadas or choose from savory options like chicken and shrimp empanadas for something heartier.

With its clean and stylish décor, Macaron stands out as a tranquil retreat where you can savor your treats while chatting with friends or diving into a good book. Stacie Wheeler highlights the remarkable flaky, delicious crust found in every pastry, making it hard to choose just one. It’s an experience that engages all your senses!

However, it’s worth noting that service improvements have been mentioned, as some customers—including Guillermo—have experienced minor bumps in their visits. But this is overshadowed by the enthusiasm of the loyal clientele who keep returning for that delicious bread, pastries, and ever-warming espresso.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy a quiet morning, catch up with friends, or simply treat yourself to a taste of France right in Ecuador, Macaron promises an experience brimming with flavors and heartfelt service that resonates long after you leave.

What an amazing little bakery here in Manta. My husband and I are here regularly for the fabulous French baguettes and the bread! Of course, we enjoy many of the pastries as well. We have never been disappointed. Probably the best bread in Manta ! Their little cappuccino bar is just opened and we are now enjoying it as well !

The macarons were good although @ $1.25 each, I think there somewhat expensive. Everything else was fine. The place has a nice warm ambient and service is good.
