Walking through the door of this tiny café, I spotted their huge selection of macarons that they had on display - some your usual flavours, and the rest of them, unique with an Jap/Asian spin.
The Boyfriend and I selected four to share amongst the two of us, and we decided to go for the more unique flavours.
From L-R (clockwise): Thai milk tea, Dear Chris (chocolate hazelnut), yuzu, green tea!
I particularly like the Thai milk tea most, and so does the Boyfriend - tasted just like that Thai milk tea drink! If you like the drink, then you will definitely love this macaron.
The Dear Chris macaron tasted a fair bit like the Ferraro Rocher chocolate and being the chocolate lover, the Boyfriend appreciated the flavour more than I did.
The yuzu was very citrusy, but I find that it was a tad too tangy for my liking. Then again, I don't like anything that is tangy so you get the drift. :P
The green tea macaron had a very subtle flavour, I could barely taste any matcha-ness. I love my green tea so I definitely wish it was stronger.
I really like the texture of the macarons which were very consistent between all four of them - crisp on the surface, chewy when bitten in, with the perfect amount of filling.
I can't say for sure that they are the best macarons in Sydney as many have claimed, considering I have yet to try all the places, but I definitely prefer Cre Asion to Zumbarons, and perhaps I'd say that they are on par with La Renaissance.
The next time I am back in Sydney, I might or might not return to Cre Asion. I have a never ending list of places that I'd love to try, but if I were to live in Sydney, who knows, it might be a different story altogether. ;)
You know you want one! ;)

Mmm these look delicious! also on my "to-go-list" for sydney :) I'm actually going this week so been looking at your blog for places to eat =) I really want to go to Zumbo's balmain patisserie as i went last year but to the chain at The Star which didn't have as much variety!
thanks for all your reviews :)
Yeah, the Balmain branch has a lot more variety. But at The Star, you get to do the dessert train thingy.
Here are the places in Sydney which I have blogged about:

Apparently they were doing some renovation work... DISAPPOINTED.... but i did get to taste more of his yummy macarons and cake =D great breakfast!
also I went to Ms G's but they weren't open till later and I didnt have time :( so.. I guess its just another excuse for another syd trip =D
there's a lot of other places on ur top 10 that I didn't get to go to.. but can I suggest Gelato Messina (Darlinghurst)!GREAT ICECREAM! and fancy cakes as well! Also best Korean food is at Strathfield ^^
Hi BakingTray! So jealous to hear of your trip up to Sydney although it was such a bummer that the Zumbo's kitchen was under renovation. But y'know what, being able to taste his yummy sweets are what matters most! ;)
Hehe I've got Gelato Messino on my list too, but we've had way too much the previous trip - had to control that LIL bit.
Which Korean in Strathfield is good? Do you remember the restaurant name? :)
