How to Order Macarons Online: A Step-by-Step Guide
Ordering macarons online is easier than it might seem — but there are a few things worth knowing before you place your first order. Here's the full rundown.
Step 1: Choose Your Pack Size
Start with how many macarons you need:
- 6 macarons: Personal treat or small gift
- 12 macarons: Gift or small gathering (our most popular)
- 24 macarons: Party, celebration, or generous gift
- 36+: Events, dessert tables, corporate orders
Step 2: Pick Your Flavors
At Antonio's Macarons, you build your pack from our full flavor menu. Mix and match as many flavors as you want. A few tips:
- Don't overthink it — start with 2–3 flavors you're confident about and fill the rest with things that sound interesting
- For gifts, Salted Caramel + Dark Chocolate + Pistachio + Vanilla Bean is the safest, most universally loved combination
- If you're getting 12+, add one adventurous flavor (Rose, Lavender) alongside the crowd-pleasers
Step 3: Add a Gift Message (Optional)
If this is a gift, add your personal message at checkout. We print it on a card and include it inside the box. You can write anything — a birthday message, a thank-you note, or just a simple "thinking of you."
Step 4: Choose Your Delivery Date
We ship Monday–Friday. Select a preferred delivery window at checkout. Keep in mind:
- We bake your order the day before it ships
- Standard shipping arrives in 2–3 business days
- For time-sensitive occasions, order at least 3 days before the target date
- We ship to all 50 states
Step 5: Check Out and Track
You'll receive a confirmation email when you order and a shipping notification with tracking when your box goes out. Most orders arrive within 2–3 business days of the ship date.
What to Do When They Arrive
Your macarons will arrive in insulated packaging with a cold pack. They're safe to eat immediately. For best results:
- Let them come to room temperature for 20–30 minutes before eating if they're cold from transit
- Store any you're not eating right away in an airtight container in the refrigerator
- They'll stay fresh for 5–7 days refrigerated
