While exploring the vibrant Sistrunk Marketplace in Fort Lauderdale, we stumbled into a dessert paradise that was impossible to miss: Macamochi. Its warm pink aesthetic, playful branding, and rows of colorful desserts brought us into the shop. The warm greeting from the owner instantly made us feel like we belonged.
Macamochi is the brainchild of Irina, a talented Miami pastry chef whose passion for desserts is expressed through every macaron, mochi, and house-made dessert she offers. She even had the viral Dubai chocolate made in-house in either as a chocolate bar or as a topping. Under her brand “Macamochi,” Irina brings a creative twist to classic sweets, making each bite an adventure.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality. Irina kindly offered us samples so we could taste her creations before committing, which, in all honesty, was never actually needed since everything was so good anyway. Regardless, it was a gesture that made our visit feel extra special. After trying several options, we picked out our favorites, and she even treated us to a free macaron of our choice. Naturally, I chose mango — because if there’s a mango option, I’m taking it!
The desserts were everything you’d hope for: macarons that were crisp on the outside and chewy inside, mochi that was soft and pillowy, and chocolates so rich they practically melted in your mouth. Each treat was as beautiful as it was delicious, proving that Irina’s commitment to quality and creativity is second to none.
If you’re in Fort Lauderdale or planning a trip, make sure to swing by Macamochi inside Sistrunk Marketplace. Whether you’re looking for an afternoon pick-me-up or something sweet to share, you’ll find an unforgettable experience — and maybe even your new favorite dessert.
