I saw this voucher on Spreets - $12 for a dozen macaroons from Crouton Cafe! I had never heard of this cafe before but $1 for a macaroon is super cheap no matter how good/bad they are =P

They pre-pack the dozen of macaroons for you so you can't choose the flavours - they have the boxes in the fridge. I didn't know macaroons need to be refrigerated - they never do at Lindt cafe or any of the other places?

The owner made sure he got us a box of unbroken macaroons =)

Mmmm looks delicious!

Flavours were - strawberry, lemon lime, honeycomb, cookies & cream, dark chocolate x2, passionfruit x2, coconut x2, pistachio and blueberry =)

They were all really tasty! Crunchy meringue cookie with delicious flavoured filling =)

Dark chocolate, passionfruit, blueberry

I really liked the passionfruit one - P didn't like it much but that's 'cause he doesn't like the seeds in passionfruit =P Blueberry was yummy too but tasted like blueberry syrup - which it probably is =P Dark chocolate was really good too but the filling was a bit too thick so felt like we were eating a praline.

Pistachio, strawberry, dark chocolate, cookies & cream

Pistachio was super tasty too as well as the cookies & cream <3 strawberry tasted like syrup again but I guess that's expected - can't put real berries in macaroons =P

honeycomb, passionfruit, coconut, lemon lime

The honeycomb and passionfruit look exactly the same! The owner actually told us they were mango but none of the yellow ones were mango =P Honeycomb was our favourite one! Tasted just like a crunchy <3 wish we had more than one of that! I really liked the lemon lime one too but P thought it was a strange combination. It's like the new mixed flavour ones at Lindt (like apple & cinnamon) which I haven't tried yet since they are so expensive now! (up to $2.90 now!)

The macaroons are $2 each normal price - definitely worth it and definitely worth the trek here! (this cafe is a bit out of nowhere and definitely would not "stumble"across it =P)

Food~
8/10 - the macaroons here are delicious, interesting flavours and definitely not overpriced like the other ones!

Service/Atmosphere~
3/5 - the owner was very polite and explained what the flavours were etc. The cafe looked really nice, wouldn't mind trying the other stuff on offer here! :)
