Joy Macarons in the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth, Texas, is a delightful spot that never fails to impress. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a vibrant display of beautiful, colorful macarons that instantly lift your spirits. They serve both macarons and ice cream, making it tough to choose between the two. Thankfully, they offer creative options like ice cream with a macaron on the side and my personal favorite, macaron ice cream sandwiches.
The experience here is always pleasant, with friendly staff who often recognize me and start my order right away, thanks to my many visits. The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for a sweet treat.
One charming feature is the cutest bubble windows and a bubbled door entrance, which adds a whimsical touch to the place. Just a heads-up: pay attention to where the handle is, as I've seen several people wonder how to get in!
However, there’s one aspect that might be a bit off-putting – the payment terminal almost forces a tip. I’m a generous tipper, but I don’t appreciate feeling pressured into tipping. It might just be a personal pet peeve, but it’s something to be aware of.
Additionally, dine-in seating is extremely limited. There are only about six seats inside, and a few tables outside. While outdoor seating can be nice, the Texas heat can be a real challenge.
Despite these minor issues, the delicious treats more than make up for it. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and enjoy the fantastic macarons and ice cream at Joy Macarons. Highly recommended!
