Voila! Macarons By Diana is not only one of Peoria’s most unique bakeries, it’s also a wonderful gift shop featuring the work of local artists, jewelers and merchants.
Last week Diana had a holiday gathering and pop-up shop featuring one of these local merchants and I stopped by and got some fun and festive photos of this third stop on our Xmas holiday tour of local Peoria shops!
Ho, ho and…ho!
Here we are at Voila! Macarons By Diana.
This fun shop is located in Windsor Square on University Street near Pioneer Park.
Let’s go in and start this happy holiday post!
Wow, there’s quite a crowd in here and Diana is busy with a customer at the front counter. Let’s take a few photos while things settle down in here.
There’s the centerpiece of the shop, the case that houses the beloved homemade French Macaron cookies.
These cookies are truly a uniquely delicious treat, they’re also wonderful works of art! I love the way each cookie has such a distinctive look and personality!
They’re beautiful!
And they’re all baked and created back here in the kitchen at Voila! Macarons by Diana.
Speaking of Diana…
Here she is, she got a moment from her loyal customers to pose for a photo and to say hi. She’s looking great and I love that smile!
Diana said business has been brisk and steady. She’s now in her second year and going strong here in the Peoria area.
Diana told me she’s proud to be a local Peoria merchant and is also happy to feature works from other local artists and makers located here and around the Peoria area.
This Saturday Diana is hosting author and podcast host MacKenzie Nelson. MacKenzie will be siging books and giving a live reading at the shop on this coming Small Business Saturday. Check out all the details by clicking here.

I let Diana get back to meeting with customers and I met…
Brittany Lavender who was having a pop-up sale of clothing here at the shop.
Brittany is the owner of Love + Lavender, an online clothing shopping store that you can check out by clicking here.
It was wonderful to meet and chat with Brittany!
Here’s just a sampling of the art, jewelry and unique gift items for sale in Voila! Macarons By Diana.
Most of these items are locally made so you’re really supporting the community by shopping here.
There’s two well-deserved awards presented to Diana and a feature article about Diana and the shop in the PJ Star.
There’s such a fun collection of unique gift items in here including signature Voila! candles!
Diana graciously gave me two macaron cookies for the road and here I am back at MBIP World Headquarters getting ready to enjoy them!
These cookies are an absolute decadent treat!
They’re crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. So sweet and tasty and they’re the perfect size too!
You won’t find anything like these delicious, homemade macarons anywhere but Voila! Macarons By Diana!
Stop by and get some macarons for your holiday parties and check out the unique gift selection featuring items from Peoria’s top artists and vendors.
