Quick answer: For a box of macarons that makes an impression, look to TWG Tea for tea-infused elegance, The Dark Gallery for deep chocolate notes, and AnnaBella Patisserie if halal certification matters. When only a local-flavoured twist will do, Bonheur Patisserie’s Pandan Gula Melaka is the one to beat.
Macarons can be a luxury that’s over too soon, but the best ones in Singapore make you feel smug about your choices. These are the spots where bigger shells sell out, filling steals the show, and a little planning saves you from paying posh prices for something that’s gone in one polite nibble. It’s macaron enjoyment, clever style.

The M Plot
A quiet corner at King Albert Park, The M Plot feels like a reward for making the trip. The macarons here are noticeably bigger than what you find elsewhere, built for two careful bites rather than one, and the fillings lean bold—Raspberry Rose Lychee gets its lift from real fruit, while the salted egg yolk curry number is the sort of thing you order once out of curiosity and then again because you cannot stop thinking about it. A box of six goes for $20, and the café pulls a decent espresso to go with it.
If your idea of a good macaron involves a generous shell and fillings that pack a punch, this is your spot. The pairings lean adventurous—salted egg yolk curry is a conversation starter you’ll want to order for the table. Make the trip on a sleepy weekday, when the King Albert Park corner is especially peaceful.

Hours: Monday, Wednesday to Friday 9 AM – 6 PM; Saturday & Sunday 8 AM – 6 PM; closed Tuesday
About $3.30 a piece in a box. Visit The M Plot
If you are kitting out a party table, the generous size means fewer pieces fill a tray nicely. The wilder flavours are a good conversation starter too.
The Dark Gallery
Chocolate macarons that actually taste of cocoa, not just sugar. The Dark Gallery, tucked into Millenia Walk, takes the same single-origin focus they bring to their desserts and shrinks it into a petite shell. Flavours like 66% Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline hit with a grown-up bitterness that makes the salted caramel one sing even louder. From $3 a piece, or arranged in gift boxes that feel weighty in the hand.
The chocolate lover who wants cocoa, not just sugar, will find their match here. The single-origin focus means each macaron tastes distinct—the 66% Dark Chocolate is almost savoury in its intensity. Pick up a mixed box when you’re invited to a dinner party; it lands like a thoughtful gift without the fanfare, and you’ll probably get to try one yourself.

The kind of place you drop by after a long week, grab a seat, and let a plate of macarons and a cold brew reset your mood. No one bought a spot on this list. If we have overlooked you, say so and we will consider it next time round.
AnnaBella Patisserie
Halal-certified, Japanese-French crossover macarons from a workshop in Bukit Batok. The lightness is the first thing you notice—the Japanese cream filling keeps things airy, so even after three you do not feel the usual sugar crash. Flavours like Cotton Candy and Creme Brulee sit alongside a Butterbeer that is moreish without being gimmicky. Custom designs, unicorns and sushi shapes included, make them a go-to for wedding favours and corporate door gifts. Pieces start at $2.80.
When you’re hosting a mixed crowd, the halal certification here is quietly reassuring. The Japanese-style cream fillings keep things airy, so you can pop a few without feeling weighed down. Order directly from their Bukit Batok workshop for custom shapes—unicorns and sushi are a sure win for birthday tables—and you’ll often get better value than retail.

Great when you need a gift that works for everyone at a mixed gathering, and the customisation means you can put a logo or a name on them without it feeling forced.
TWG Tea
You already know TWG for the tea. Their macarons, sold at the Raffles City boutique and across their salons, thread the same leaves right into the ganache. Silver Moon Tea & Strawberry and Matcha are the ones people reach for first; Napoleon Tea & Caramel brings a toffee warmth that stays on the tongue. Sold in boxes of 24, perfect for an afternoon tea spread that actually feels atas rather than just priced that way.
You already trust their tea, so their macarons are a natural step—each one carries the flavour of a proper brew. The Napoleon Tea & Caramel is a warm, toffee-like number that pairs brilliantly with a shared pot of something floral. Grab a box when you’re planning a simple afternoon tea at home; it instantly lifts the occasion without much effort.

Antoinette
Antoinette on Penhas Road channels a Parisian salon without the self-consciousness. The macarons have that firm shell and soft interior you want from a well-made meringue, and the signature Antoinette—milk chocolate and Earl Grey—manages to taste both familiar and a little surprising. Brittany Caramel and Praline round out the lineup. The shop also runs a proper tea service, so you can sit down and make an afternoon of it.
When you want more than just a macaron in a box, this is the spot to linger. The shop’s tucked away on Penhas Road, so it feels like a secret you were let in on. Order the Antoinette with a pot of tea and suddenly a simple afternoon turns into a mini escape. The firm shells hold up beautifully, so no messy fingers.

PAUL
PAUL at Takashimaya does exactly what you expect from a 130-year-old French name: classic macarons with crisp shells and clean flavours. Vanilla, Chocolate, Raspberry, Pistachio, Lemon—the sort you picture when someone says the word macaron. At $2.90 a piece, they are easy to pick up by the half-dozen, and the packaging is smart enough for last-minute gifts.

When you are already on Orchard Road and need a dependable box of something sweet, this is the straightest line from craving to checkout.
Bonheur Patisserie
Bonheur Patisserie in Tessensohn Road is for the friend who thinks a macaron should taste like home. Pandan Gula Melaka and Salted Egg Yolk sit right alongside Lychee Rose and Chocolate Ganache, all handmade and starting at $2.50 a piece. The shop takes orders for custom gift boxes and caters to events, though you will need to plan around the weekday-only opening hours.
If your palate is homesick, these macarons taste like the flavours you grew up with. The pandan gula melaka is fragrant and not too sweet, and the salted egg yolk is a must if you’re already a fan of the savoury-sweet combo. Just remember, they’re only open on weekdays, so a little planning goes a long way—your lunch break just found a purpose.
Address: 1 Tessensohn Rd, #01-13, Singapore 217701

Die die must try the Pandan Gula Melaka if you are sending a box to someone who has been overseas too long—it is nostalgia in two bites.
How to choose
Start with who is eating. If there are dietary requirements, AnnaBella Patisserie is the only one on this list that is halal-certified, so it clears that hurdle right away. For a crowd that skews older or more traditional, the tea-infused numbers at TWG Tea or the straight-ahead classics at PAUL land better than salted egg yolk experiments.
Think about the occasion. A bespoke wedding favour calls for AnnaBella’s custom designs or Bonheur’s local-flavoured boxes—something that feels personal. A drop-in gift for a dinner party works well with The Dark Gallery’s chocolate-focused boxes or The M Plot’s bolder flavours, which show you put thought into the choice. TWG’s boxed assortments are a safe bet for corporate gifting; the brand carries a certain quiet weight.
Price per piece runs from $2.50 (Bonheur) to around $3.30 (The M Plot, when bought in a box), with most hovering at $2.80 to $3.00. Delivery and customisation usually add to the bill, so budget a bit more for big orders. The Dark Gallery and TWG Tea have multiple outlets, making same-day pickup easier; Bonheur and AnnaBella are single-location operations that reward a little advance planning.
