This place is very cute and is a great place to stop by for a sweet snack. The service was fast and the worker was very nice. The character macron was not too sweet with great attention to details. The tanghulu had a thick layer of sugar that I wasn't a fan of but I liked that it came with a wrapper to prevent sticky fingers. Will definitely come back to try more flavors and the dragon beard candy!

Sweet Box is a small but mighty little macaron (not to be confused with macaroon, two different things) takeout shop, located in the Source mall on the 1st floor. The Source is a heavily Korean-forward food and goods shopping center and Sweet Box does reflect that. I've only been gifted their macarons and can say they were good but wouldn't have much to compare them to seeing as I don't have macarons often (actually these might've been the only macarons I've had in the past few years). I will be honest I don't even like macarons in the first place. I had the little character macarons and they were your standard macaron with the addition of being in the shape of cute animals with little faces.As previous reviewers have mentioned, the shop is purely takeout and does not have seating. It's just a storefront containing the display of desserts and the cash register. But genuinely I don't see them needing seating anyways with what they sell. There is seating around the mall however if you're looking for it. Recently though I noticed they started selling Tanghulu, candied fruit on a stick hailing from China, and I can only assume it's been a hit because one could not walk more than 5 minutes around the mall without spotting passerby sporting a tanghulu stick. Curious about this new food edition to the mall, I walk up to said person asking where they might have acquired the candied fruit I had not seen there before. "Sweet Box!". Me having not tried it before I thought this would be the time. So after another 3 visits to the mall, I finally decided to stop by and make my own actual purchase here to try one. And let me tell you when I had my first bite my mind was blown. Where had this been all my life? Well to be fair I the entire time I was just ignoring all the tanghulu hype and even lazy to make my own seeing as it's not readily sold and hard to find in public. It's 5 dollars a stick and while I have my qualms about the pricing, I got the tangerine. It's crunchy, sweet with a delectable juiciness from the fruit. It's sold right out of the fridge so along with that, it's a nice cold and refreshing treat! Once you break the outer shell of sugar in your mouth, it is like a juicy burst of flavor in your mouth. Since the first time I had it, I've gone back to have it another 2 times since I've been at the source. all 3 times I had tangerine but plan to try the green grape next time per recommendation from the cashier. I could go into how I feel about the price but I've already had it 3 times and given them $15 of my wallet so who's really the one laughing. So while I can't say much about their macarons or even their dragons beard candy that they have, I do now have a newfound fondness for candied fruit and they might as well be my hookup. I will be back next time not just for another tanghulu but also possibly one of those very generously filled macarons that have piqued my interest. Sorry for no photos, I ate them all before I could've snapped a pic.

Here for Macaron and Tanghulu!For macarons, I got the boba and smiley face character. I think the boba is boba milk tea flavor. The smiley face is pandan flavor which I enjoy. I got the green grape tanghulu and it's tasty. The sugar coat is crunchy, but not too hard like other places. I'll definitely recommend the tanghulu even though it's pricey at $5.

I've been to Sweet Box only once before for a macaron so I was surprised to walk by and find out they were also selling tanghulu which is candied fruit. The grape was delicious but a little too hard to eat. I unexpectedly loved the mandarine one as it was a little softer on the teeth and the fruit complimented the clear sugar coating well. Highly recommend and hope I can try a different fruit next time!

The macarons here are so yummy but they have tanghulu now!! They might not show all fruit options on display so be sure to ask which flavors are available! Soooo good, thank you!

Just tried the macaron green tea ice cream, the ice cream was really yummy and the macarons are a great chewy texture. Macaron is a little sweet though but the ice cream was delicious!
Love these macaroons! They catered our wedding with 200 macaroons and did not overlook detail on a single one. They were all beautiful and delicious.

Really cute little macaron stand that's located on the first floor of The Source near the donut shop. The Source has plenty of free parking so it's super easy to access and There's only a store front and no seating so you'd have to sit outside in the common areas to eat the macarons. The staff there was pretty friendly and open to answering my questions about the different flavors. There are plenty of flavors plus really cute character macarons available. Their popular flavors are cookies & cream and salted caramel, but I decided to try a flavor I've never had which was the Injeolme (soy bean powder rice mochi / kinako). The flavor was really good and light and not too sweet which I enjoyed! It was very creamy and the powder can be a bit messy to eat but I enjoyed the flavor very much! Would love to try more flavors in the future.

We were at the Source getting coffee and decided to give this macaron shop a try! They have a lot of flavors. The cashier recommended cookies and cream and salted caramel as their most popular flavors. We ended up getting injeolmi (sweet rice cake with roasted soybean powder) as it's a flavor I usually don't see elsewhere. I enjoyed it as it wasn't too sweet!

So happy to find dragon beard! My favorite! Also, my husband is French and he really enjoyed his macaron - said it's the best he's ever had! Including the ones in France! We'll be back!
