Review Miel Bon Bons - Carrboro

Lovely store in Durham. Blew me away with the quality, the display and the atmosphere. And everything is made fresh by the owner. Super impressed. Great chocolates and macarons. Must visit, folks.

10/10 would recommend over and over again!!! Sweet quaint little cafe! Coffee was delicious, the crème brûlée cake had the perfect balance of richness but not overly sweet, and the Bon Bons were to die for. Shop Local and visit Miel!

If I was basing this review off first impressions, I'd give it 5 stars. Unfortunately, our experience didn't end as well as it began. When we arrived, we thought 'Oh, this is cute. It reminds us of the nice coffee shops in San Francisco.' We got inside, was impressed with the macaron selection, the chocolates and even the chocolate Millennium Falcon. The espresso selections were fairly basic but seemed reasonably priced compared to local competitors. So we ordered 3 macarons, 2 pieces of chocolate and a white chocolate mocha, which cost about $21 total. The macarons were tasty, with our favorite being the rose, much to our surprise. The chocolates were okay. The key lime was mostly caramel filling with a sudden burst of key lime. The caramel itself was tasty though, but we weren't expecting any caramel in a chocolate labeled key lime. The ginger chocolate had no hint of ginger unless it was the mild spice I would get every few bites, which was disappointing. The mocha espresso was great, so much so, we went back in and ordered a 2nd one to take with us on our drive around town. This is where things went bad and what led to only 3 stars. I don't know what happened, but our 2nd drink was pretty much just an *expensive* white chocolate milk. There was no hint of espresso at all. Even looking at it later, I guess I should have noticed right away that it was a very pale light beige color, much lighter than our first drink (pictured). We couldn't even drink it because of how sweet it was and ended up tossing it. It almost tasted like it had caramel in it too, not at all what we asked for. Unfortunately, we didn't discover this until we were miles away and it was too late to return then. I don't know if the worker (who was at least very kind) was distracted because of another customer waiting or what, I just know there was no espresso added the 2nd time. So that was another $5 wasted on an undrinkable coffee. I may give them another chance, but the end of our visit definitey left a bad taste, pun intended, in our mouth.

Hands down the best macaron I've had in US.. My kind of macarons.. where are the filling is just as amazing as the crust.. Also enjoyed the yuzu drink.. refreshing for a sunny afternoon And loved the freshly baked spinach and artichoke danish and sticky bun for breakfast

Went looking for desserts and found this bakery. The owner was amazing and the dessert even better. They have chocolates, cakes, pies, and pastries. The also have Vegan options as well. If your looking for something sweet try this place out it won't disappoint.

This has been one of the best-kept secrets in Durham until recently. World-class chocolates and other treats. Some of them are so artistic, you don't want to eat them. But you should. Because they're delicious. All of them.

While the place was cozy and the desserts looked nice, we ended up having the hazelnut biscotti ice cream that was priced at roughly $4.50 for a single scoop. I understand these are fine chocolates, but at $2.85 per piece, they are way overpriced. The hazelnut flavored ice cream was not creamy and felt like frozen ferrero rocher with a poor texture.

Me and my fiancee stopped here on our way through town. Had the bourbon pecan pie and the elderberry yuzu passion fruit cake. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
