Macaron Sweeterie
Inspired by Meryl Streep’s bakery-owning character in It’s Complicated, former interior designer Sella Abalian looked to traditional French macarons to fuel a career change. Abalian, who calls the colorful almond powder confections “more of a delicacy than a cupcake,” offers at least a dozen flavors daily, as well as fresh gelato and ground-to-order espresso in her charming Lexington sweet shop.848 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, 781-863-0848, macaronsweeterie.com
