Yum - Paulette macarons are so delicious and gorgeous! We got some macarons from Vanilla Bake Shop in Santa Monica. I think they were around the same price as Paulette, though since VBS is smaller, perhaps it's worth asking whether they'd be willing to give you a volume discount?
Haven't tried this place yet, but it has great reviews on yelp, I will eventually though since it sounds pretty good. It's Euro Pane Bakery in Pasadena.
Hands down, the best macarons EVER were at Boule. Long story - we nearly served them at our wedding. Boule shut down, but if you call Sona catering, they can still make them (if they are willing - they were wiling to for us, but we ended up not serving them after all.) Price wise, they may be more expensive though than what you are looking for. But they are THE BEST!
Not to be super ghetto but have you tried the macarons at Trader Joe's? They're $5 for a dozen and they aren't quite as delicious as Paulette but they are surprisingly good. They come frozen though, so I'm not sure how long they can be kept out but it might be worth checking out.
There is a pastry chef from France named Stephane who makes his macaroons locally in LA. He sells them at Whole Foods and also at a restaurant called Cafe du Village on Larchmont. He uses all natural ingredients (no additional sugar or flavoring) and these are the best I've had right next to Vanilla Bake Shop. I am not sure how much Stephane's macaroons cost but he might be able to give you a deal. In order to get in touch with him, I would call Cafe du Village and let them know you would like to place an order (phone number (323) 466-3996). Stephane also sells his macaroons on Larchmont on Sundays right outside the restaurant so you could stop by for a taste test and meet him yourself!
Ooh, try your local Trader Joe's. Mine has them 12/$4.99 or something like that... that's pretty cheap! And they are delicious, not quite bakery good but are still very good!
Not sure if you're aware, but Paulette offers a discount when you order in quantity! I emailed a while back and can't remember just how much, I think it was around 10%!
Mmmmm. Macarons! Yummers
Porto's bakery has huge macaroons for .80 cents each.
They're on Brand Blvd in Glendale, just south of the 134, or there's another location in Burbank.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I would like to give french macarons as wedding favors and am hunting for a los angeles area bakery that does them well and at a reasonable price. I would like to keep it around 1-1.50 apiece and would need about 560-580 macarons. I saw that Paulette did them for about 1.50 a piece, but if anybody can suggest a bakery that does them just as well and for a little less, please let me know!
Oh, and I will be packaging them myself so I'm not planning on paying the bakery for that...
Thanks, hive!!!
