NAPERVILLE, IL — Le Macaron plans to bring its French pastries, chocolates, gelato, coffee and more to downtown Naperville. The pâtisserie is eyeing a spring 2025 opening at 23 W. Jefferson Ave., according to the Downtown Naperville Alliance.

Founded by the mother-daughter chef team of Rosalie Guillem and Audrey Guillem-Saba, Le Macaron aims to elevate the American experience of macarons, according to Le Macaron's website.

Each of the colorful macarons is made with gluten-free ingredients and available in more than a dozen inventive flavors, including birthday cake, basil white chocolate, cassis and orange Grand Marnier. Seasonal options pop up on the menu to accompany holidays, including a mon cheri flavor in February and a pumpkin flavor in November.
