We got a box of six for $21 ($19 plus tax): * raspberry - nice raspberry filling inside - lemon - could barely taste lemon, skip unless they increase the lemon flavor * orange ginger - no real ginger flavor but a nice subtle orange flavor * red velvet - not too sweet, it was pleasant * mint-white chocolate - nice mint flavor * pistachio - great pistachio flavor - get several if you love pistachio! There were a lot more wonderful flavors. We got coffee au laits to go with the macarons and sat several hours talking. We appreciate not being felt like we needed to hurry and leave, and the tables were clean. Bathroom for customers.

My favorite out of these flavors were definitely nutella and the snickerdoodle! The other flavors were also good for sure, just some of them were a little bit too sweet for me. There were two gentlemen manning the store when I stopped by, and they were really friendly and helpful when I was trying to figure out how many macarons to buy, and which flavors to get based on what is popular. They were very patient while I tried to figure out what I wanted to get because they have so many different flavors that sound so good. Overall, good service and amazing macarons! I will definitely be back again!

This is probably my 3rd time having macarons and I really just love it…read more The macarons are diverse with usually a variety of flavors and characters. I would say though, they look a bit grainy. Service is amazing, I like the idea of being able to pre-order ahead of time if you sign up for her newsletter. I'm usually at the pop-up's (Rockville) so lots of vendors to see as well. The line can get busy but moves quickly.

Picture this: it's a mid-May Sunday afternoon, I'm headed home after an absolutely elite adventure…read moreday, and my adventure buddy casually asks, "Hey, do you like macarons?" Excuse me? Of COURSE I like macarons. Don't be ridiculous. And just like that, an unexpected side quest to Sweet Velvet Macarons was born! I had absolutely no idea this place even existed. Tucked into a suite on the backside of a multi-story building, Sweet Velvet Macarons feels a little bit like finding a secret dessert portal hidden in plain sight. And let me tell you, it is WELL worth finding! Their Sunday hours until 5pm made it the perfect stop to squeeze one more sweet little adventure into the day before heading home. The moment we walked in, I was blown away. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen that many macarons in one place before in my life. The space itself was bright, cheerful, smelled like pure sugar happiness, and the staff were incredibly friendly and excited to help first-timers navigate the overwhelming amount of deliciousness. Now here's the detail that absolutely won me over immediately: every visit comes with a FREE sample macaron! This is both generous and emotionally dangerous because narrowing down one sample flavor when staring at that display case felt like being asked to pick a favorite child. They had classic flavors, rotating seasonal flavors, double-stuffed flavors...my brain nearly short-circuited trying to decide. Eventually, I settled on the Double-Stuffed Blueberry Maple Pancake macaron to officially pop my Sweet Velvet Macarons cherry. And OH. MY. GOD. This thing was incredible! The shell itself had that perfect macaron texture, slightly crisp and sticky on the outside while staying soft and airy inside. But the real star was the filling. Sweet Velvet does NOT play games with filling quantity and I deeply respect that! The double-stuffed center was creamy, rich, super flavorful, and honestly one of the best macaron fillings I've ever had. As someone who generally prefers frosting-to-cake ratios approaching complete imbalance, this absolutely spoke to my soul. Naturally, there was no way I was leaving empty-handed after that experience. I grabbed two more macarons to bring home and continue the flavor adventure later: the Lemon Bar and the NY Strawberry Cheesecake. They packaged them carefully into the cutest little transport box imaginable and the total came to only $5.50, which honestly felt super reasonable for specialty desserts this good. Both flavors were fantastic, though the Lemon Bar edged out the Strawberry Cheesecake slightly for me thanks to the powdered sugar coating that made it taste even more like an actual lemon bar in macaron form. Overall, this place was such a fun surprise! Amazing flavors, friendly staff, adorable presentation, and genuinely outstanding macarons. Now that I know Sweet Velvet Macarons exists, this little hidden sugar sanctuary has absolutely been added to my return list.

EXCELLENT MACARONS! The difference between an excellent macaron and an average macaron is huge,…read moreand unfortunately I've eaten way too many average macarons. The macarons from I Love Macarons are excellent!! I try to taste these delightful confections every chance I get. We are so fortunate in the WDC area to have access to the delightful confections from I Love Macarons. Not only are they beautiful, but these macarons are the freshest I've ever tasted. The fillings are smooth, fresh and light. The cookie is slightly chewy, easily giving way to the tender center. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! The company mail orders within the USA and are going to become my "go to" gift to send to my out of town friends and family. Don't hesitate to give them a try...they really are as good as it gets!

Just an updated review of Chiboo bakery!…read more Recently went to the Bethesda Farmer's Market to pick up my order of the Lunar Festival inspired macarons on Sunday. I'm so happy Chelsea partakes in this market because it's closer to me now that I live in Maryland. I love that all the macarons were character designed and all came with a unique Asian inspired flavor. I love the matcha flavors or any fruit flavors, those are my favorites. Looking forward to buying more of Chelsea's macarons this year!
