I went to go see Chiboo Bakery at the Bethesda Market yesterday. The weather was beautiful and Chelsea was offering the cutest characters (Kirby, hello kitty, dinosaurs and no face from spirited away) I shared some at work as well and my co-workers loved it. I think my favorite is and will always be the fruity pebbles. I wish I could have stayed longer but I had to go to work. Would happily continue to return! read more

Chiboo Bakery - Macarons Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Chiboo Bakery in Reston is such a cute hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with that warm, sweet bakery smell that instantly puts you in a good mood. Their macs are super fresh, not overly sweet, and have that perfect soft-but-chewy texture that makes you want to try everything in the display case. I especially love how beautifully presented everything is -- you can tell they put a lot of care into each item. Whether you're grabbing a quick treat or taking goodies home to share, everything tastes just as good as it looks. The staff is friendly and patient, even when the shop gets busy. They're always happy to recommend something new, and honestly, you can't really go wrong here.

I've always loved finding Chiboo at farmers markets and food festivals. Today I stumbled across them in Reston unexpectedly! Their store front is so cute and welcoming. Their macarons are so tasty, I haven't tried one I don't like. I also love the character macarons, so cute! read more

My favorite macaron place! Chelsea is so creative and puts so much love into her treats. Not only are they tasty, but they are seriously adorable too. I love that she uses the freshest ingredients, including fresh fruit from local farmers markets. I recently had an event where I got to share her macarons with clients and friends, and everyone loved them. We had the lemon curd and strawberry flavors, and they were absolutely delicious. They came in the cutest favor boxes, tied with a bow, which made them even more special. You need these in your life! Chelsea's smile and giggle are infectious, and you can truly feel her passion for what she does. read more

Super cute bakery that sells cute macarons in Lake Anne! I didn't know they had a spot in Lake Anne, it is a small shop hidden away on the left side of Nordic-Knot. They had a bunch of different flavors of standard macarons to choose from. They also have cute macarons with different shapes and characters. I got a box of half dozen and I asked for help picking out the best flavors. The flavors I got were wonderful! The macarons were some of the best I have had. They were crunchy and soft. Would recommend checking them out. read more

Congratulations Chelsea on your new location! Chiboo Bakery is tucked in next to Nordic Knot at the Lake Anne Plaza, which is super convenient when youre grabbing a bite to eat. There's free parking, chill vibes, and kind staff here. Each week she posts her macaron flavors of the week, and there are also special characters too! This week was Labubu, so I figured hey what the heck... I don't like the real ones so might as well get these tasty treats! They're flavorful and affordable (for what macarons are worth), and she's soooo nice! Her staff are super sweet as well. Don't be fooled by the signage, it can get confusing! Just look for Nordic Knot and you'll find her storefront. I'll be back soon! read more

My family tried an assortment of macarons and they were way too sweet or had too much filling. I would consider the sweetness level over the top. I am not sure I would come back. read more

I reached out to Chiboo with a last minute ask for several dozen macarons for a birthday - not only were so they so quick to respond, they were so thoughtful in replying to my questions, detailed in how to find their shop and packaged everything up wonderfully with care. The shop is in Reston, and smells delicious as soon as you walk in. The owner came out to deliver the macarons herself and to top it off - the macarons were delicious! Will definitely reach out again for custom orders - thank you again!!! read more

I've been enjoying Chelsea's macarons for years - from her own kitchen, farmers markets and now her own brick n mortar! She's the absolute sweetest and will always make time to talk to her customers. The flavors are amazing. Not too sweet, just enough chew - PERFECTION. Give me all the lychee strawberry, fruity pebbles, and salted caramel!! Those are my absolute favorites. We have to get doubles because my husband loves them just as much. Don't sleep on the jams either, the pandan is chefs kiss on toast or crackers. read more

Cutest and tastiest macarons ever! To think I needed to cross the continent to find it. Chelsea, baker and owner has her shop in Reston VA. Her website is https://chiboobakery.com and that will be the easiest way to reach her. I had the pleasure of tasting her sweets thanks to my dear friend who lives out in VA. I wondered why my friend kept asking me questions... color... favorite flavor.... favorite... favorite... favorite! and I got a box of macarons which a few were painted and looked like cats (I am a cat lover), a few in the shape of a horse (I am born year of the Horse) and the rest were just a box of sweet pleasures! Thank you to my friend who ordered these treats for me and thank you to Chelsea for baking the delicious sweet delights! read more

I tried the black sesame passionfruit and Thai tea macarons as part of a pop-up event in DC (for reference on ambiance). I appreciate the availability of these flavors in the DMV area. In fact, appreciate is an understatement. I should say desperate, because only that can explain why I didn't take a step back and think carefully before ordering. Black sesame passionfruit - it's an uncommon combination. And for good reason. Unfortunately, the tartness of the passion fruit overpowered and frankly just didn't complement the black sesame in any way whatsoever. The Thai tea one was okay to try once. For service, the staff at the event maintained a smile and displayed a polite, bright demeanor throughout my interaction with them. Having said that, during check out, I noticed the staff first put my treats in a box. As I was confirming my order, the staff started taking the treats out of the box and putting them into a thin plastic baggie. I noted to the staff that I preferred the box if possible, and the staff replied that it will get squished in the box. I then said that I will be traveling on the train. She added a cardboard tray as a substitute, like the ones that hold hot dogs at a baseball game (see photo). The customer before me ordered six macarons and the order was in the same type of box. I wondered whether that order was any less likely to get squished than the two I ordered. I wasn't going to ask again, but I could not make sense of the staff's response. At $3 per macaron, I was surprised that a box was not a reasonable request. My guess is that they were being economical given it was a pop-up event. Perhaps it would be a better customer experience if it was clearer that boxes would be provided for orders with a certain number of items instead of doing an impromptu switch-a-roo. Upon closer inspection, forget the concern about smushing it - the black sesame passionfruit was never aligned anyway (see photo). Given the presentation, flavor combination and the customer experience, I am not likely to order again. read more

Cute/small store front that Chelsea operates Chiboo Bakery from. The macaroons are absolutely delicious. They're flavorful, moist and a little chewy which is just the way I like my macaroons!

I tried this bakery at an Asian festival and the macaroons were so delicious! The cashier was friendly and was helpful when I was deciding what to get. I still need to try all the flavors, but my favorite one so far is the salted caramel. The macaroons weren't too sweet and had a perfect amount of hardness, tasting fresh. They also had ube or taro cookies that were yummy. The Thai cookie was okay, I am not sure if it's the tea bitterness, but I wouldn't get that again. read more

I've purchased treats from Chelsea since before she was "Chiboo Bakery". In the beginning I was hopeful since some of the treats were tasty and the flavor combinations had promise. After multiple purchases, I made the hard decision to stop placing orders. I wanted to support a small, woman-owned business and I know she works hard! But I am not a fan of the method she uses for macarons. They are shatteringly crisp when bitten into, with no real chewy center, almost like an egg shell. The cookies I ordered at new years previously were very dry as well. I debated posting this review, but I think that honest feedback is necessary. There are good macarons in DC, but I haven't found a small business that can match Ladurée or Olivia Macaron (or bakeries in NYC or CA). I will continue looking! read more

Inventive flavors and great service from a local business in a cute space - I love everything about it :) I find myself going every other weekend or so just for a snack.

I have been following this business for a while now and finally got to order from them and I am totally blown away! The macarons were very fresh and tasty! We got the passion fruit, cookie butter and brownie batter- we ate it all in one seating lol. The other order is for a friend who just had a baby and the bears are super cute! It was a last minute order and Chelsea was so nice and very accommodating. Big plus too that this is a WOC owned small business! We will definitely order again! 15/10 for sure!!!!! read more

Service has always been great since before Chiboo bakery was Chiboo Bakery. The owner and baker always has unique flavors along with some other more mainstream flavors. Love her creativity and her vision on where she wants to go with her business. It's even been an inspiration watching her journeyed from baking from home to hopefully having her own bro l and mortar! Anyway, I digress. Love her macs! Always full of flavor and she's not afraid to take risks with her flavor combos! If you don't want to take those risks, then pick flavors you know you'll like! Her macs are always so well made and I so wish I lived closer to where she sells them so I could go all the time read more

Chelsea is a flavor and macaron wiz!! I have tried so many different macarons, including the locally famous Olivia macarons, but even those can be too sweet at times. Chelsea has hit the proverbial nail on the head and has perfectly balanced the sweetness. Each macaron has been fresh and tasty, making it incredibly challenging not to eat my full order in one sitting. My most recent order was the Lunar New Year set, which included 7 flavors: - Thai Tea - Hojicha - Pandan Kaya - Salted Egg Yolk - Mandarin Orange - Miso Caramel - Li Hing Mui Lemon Hojicha and Miso Caramel were my favorite, but they were all delicious, many in flavors I have never tried. It was a delight to sample them all! 100% will be ordering again, and soon :) read more

These macarons are almost too cute to eat, but I ate them anyway! I am pretty picky about my macarons and these are perfect. The character macarons are adorable and the flavors are spot on!

I don't even know where to begin! I had needed a last minute addition to a charcuterie spread I was making for a friends wedding. And I was a member of the bridal party; so it had to be perfect! I was having difficult finding a bakery that specialized in macaroons, specifically, that was local to me. Enter Chiboo and Chelsea! She is an absolute dream, and made every single idea and vision I had come to life. Her prices are reasonable, and she communicated effectively and consistently during the entire process. She offered thoughtful insight on what she thought would be great for color coordinating. And she didn't disappoint! The macaroons were delicious, delicate, and FRESH. I can't emphasize this enough. I picked them up on Friday and they weren't eaten until Saturday afternoon. You would have thought that I had made them myself that morning! Even the pickiest of eaters loved them ALL. I cannot wait to use CHIBOO and work with Chelsea again. She is truly gifted and such a gem of a person. Thank you again for everything! read more

World's best macaroons here! Chelsea is so sweet and knowledgable and happy to help you pick out macaroons. I've been following her on social media for a while and finally got a chance to try the treats at the Fairfax Main Street Asian Festival. I got 6 macaroons only cause that's what was suggested for the box but it was so hard to pick which flavors! Ultimately, the taro macaroon is truly the best I've had. I LOVE taro and this tasted just like slurping up a delicious milk tea. So heavenly I wish I had gotten 6 of those alone. Y'all MUST go to Frontier Kitchen or the next farmer's market she's at and get as many as you can. read more

I love the macarons from Chiboo Bakery! The owner, Chelsea, is so sweet and is always coming up with new flavors. I ordered some Asian-inspired macarons for my wedding to celebrate my Asian heritage. The flavors were ube, pandan-kaya, matcha, thai tea, and sweet potato - they were all amazing! There were absolutely no macarons left which I was so happy about but at the same time I wanted leftovers for myself. Also, the planning process was a breeze since Chelsea was quick to communicate. Definitely recommend for any special event or if you just want to enjoy a bangin macaron:) read more
