You can now visit the beach without needing a towel, suncream and battle plans for finding an unclaimed spot by the shoreline.

MakMak Macarons’ Pop-up Shop in Newtown evokes the surf with a store adorned with shells, floaties, beach balls (some mid-bounce), the occasional (fake) seagull and more than 100 kilograms of sand.

And, to go with the holiday-perfect theme, there’s iced tea (including the highly delicious Strawberry, Raspberry and Earl Grey for $3.50) and new summer-compatible macaron flavours (Pineapple and Lime Splice, Bounty, Passionfruit, Orange & Lemon Myrtle, Strawberry, Vincotto & Pink Peppercorn and Caramel Macchiato) alongside the classic MakMak picks (the eternally excellent Gianduja and Green Tea, to name a few). You can also pick up some home-made goods for your pantry, too, such as the MakMak Passionfruit Orange & Lemon Curd, Berry Cranberry Jelly and Vanilla Bean Custard.

The pop-up is open until January 15 (minus New Year’s Day and Jan 2), so pay a visit to the one Sydney beach spot you won’t find on Google Maps this summer and stock up on fine macarons and just-as-fine berry iced tea. And look out for a new theme when the store re-opens in February.

MakMak Macarons Pop Up shop, 601 King Street Newtown NSW (02) 8095 0045, makmak.com.au. Follow MakMak Macarons on Twitter and Facebook.

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
