Springfield Macarons brings sweet treats downtown
Springfield’s Market Street outdoor pedestrian shopping plaza might not be the Champs-Elysees — it only goes from Harrison Street to Bruce Landon Way — but now it has macarons, those tiny almond flour cookies that somehow convey freshness in a single bite. This section of the city has some new joie de vivre now that baker Jennifer Cruz has moved her Springfield Macarons business to space that was once part of the much beloved Johnson’s Bookstore, at the rear of 1383 Main St.
