“Our family has always had a shared love of macarons,” says Gina Passerman, owner/operator of Le Macaron Bethlehem. “We’ve taken macaron baking classes together, tried making them at home and love trying macarons wherever we go.” In 2021, after almost a year at home amidst the pandemic, Passerman decided she wanted to do something that would bring joy to people once the world reopened, and her husband suggested opening a Le Macaron French Pastries® shop. “We really enjoyed Le Macaron French Pastries® macarons as well as their gelato, pastries, chocolates and other authentic French offerings. With Le Macaron’s goal of inviting guests to ‘slow down and experience the best of France in just a few bites’ it began to feel like the perfect fit!” she says. The macarons are made with the highest quality of natural ingredients, free of preservatives and artificial flavors, by a Lenôtre School of Culinary Arts trained pastry chef. Le Macaron Bethlehem promises more than 20 flavors of macarons as well as seasonal flavors, European and American coffees, teas, sodas and specialty hot chocolate, handmade gelato, confiseries, meringues, fine chocolates, madeleines, eclairs, napoleons, fresh baked croissants and many more French indulgences.
