Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t have a permanent storefront yet, but we operate on the northwest side of Chicago! Our weekly order pick-up spot is currently on Leland and Rockwell (just off the Rockwell Brown Line). For catering orders, we can arrange a spot for pick-up or drop-off within a 5-mile radius of Foster and Kedzie. We charge $4 per mile outside of that radius.

There are currently two ways to order macarons: Catering Menu orders and Flavor of the Week orders. 

Catering orders can be placed by submitting an inquiry via our Contact Us page. Please note that macaron catering orders have a minimum of 24 macarons per flavor requested.

Flavor of the Week orders allow for customers to buy macarons in smaller quantities (limited to whatever that week’s flavor is). Orders can be placed using the Flavor of the Week order form. 

Orders should be placed by 12 PM on Monday. If you missed this week’s deadline, come back on Friday to see next week’s flavor!

Here are some of the top reasons for why macarons are priced the way they are. Additionally, at Offbeat Macarons, we like to use a number of fun and interesting fillings and toppings, which typically adds to the cost of ingredients and the amount/time of labor.

It depends! What day is it? Flavor of the Week orders can be submitted up until the Monday before at 12 PM. Catering orders require a 2-week minimum notice.

Lots! We have a different Flavor of the Week each week. We also make lots of macaron flavors that aren’t listed on the Catering Menu. If you don’t see the flavor you want, send us a message to ask.

Short answer: No! 

We do, however, specialize in macarons, and our Flavor of the Week is currently limited to macarons.

We offer cupcakes, cakes, and pies on our Catering Menu. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to send us an inquiry .
