Press
Some of you have told us raving reviews of our desserts! One person spent last summer France eating incredible macarons practically on a daily basis and found us the "best macarons I've found since coming back to the US!" Another thought that we are "even better than the ones I had at Laduree in London. And you get extra points because yours are enormous." It's so nice to be loved and we love you guys! But you aren't the only ones. Check out what the press and blogs are saying about us too!
* Please note our new name Sugar Philly, officially in use since February 2010.
