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!

After visiting Mocatinas for dessert, my friends and I knew we had to try this place for our yearly…read morehigh tea/afternoon tea. This place is just stunning...the dining area, stairs with positive messages, the ordering/"shopping", even the bathroom! The service is just exceptional, above and beyond. It was a seameless process to make the reservation online and edit as needed. There were automatic emails and texts for the reservation confirmation and reminder. Each afternoon tea includes 2 pots of tea, 1 macaron/person, and additional bites (savory & sweet). Luckily, there were 2 of us, so we each ordered our own teas. I'm not sure how flexible they are if requesting additional tea pots for larger parties (max 8 people). The weekdays tea is $35/person, weekends $40/person (needs a reservation). There is an 18% gratuity to all the final bill regardless of the number of people in the party. I would highly recommend the Thai tea...I don't add any sugar or cream to my tea and it was still so tasty. I ordered the coconut macaron, which is the newest addition the the macaron family. Parking: there is parallel parking available in front of and around the establishment. There is also a parking garage roughly 1 block (walking distance), which is free on the weekends. If planning a visit on the weekdays, be sure to read the parking signs carefully. I would definitely return to try other items on their menu.

We stumbled upon this cute little store while walking in Leesburg…read more They have ice cream, macaroons and a few other sweets. The ice cream flavors were very unique which was a nice surprise. Towards the back of the store they have a lot of cute toys and accessories for kids. The store is very clean, pretty and well organized. The upstairs is reserved for birthday parties, there was one going on while we were there and it looked so fun! They kept bringing them the cutest trays of desserts and tea. Sitting inside is very limited, only a couple of tables but they also have a patio with more tables and chair and a play house for kids. The ice cream was very yummy and served very cute- with a purple cone and a macaroon! My girls thought this place was awesome.

Chiboo Bakery in Reston is such a cute hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with that…read morewarm, 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. If you're in Reston and craving a cute dessert spot with quality baked goods, Chiboo is definitely worth the stop! Bonus is that they are located by Lake Anne so you can also take a stroll on a nice day

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!

Pretty adorable coffee shop around the corner of the Walgreens. I only had 30 minutes for lunch but…read morewanted a pick me up. They have a wonderful selection of coffee/tea options but I prefer my standard chai or matcha. I tried their cranberry mocha and I wasn't a huge fan to be honest. I didn't taste any cranberry so to me it wasn't worth the $6 or $7. I also ordered their avocado toast but they didn't tell me they ran out of avocados until after I paid. So I ended up swapping to a caprese sandwich (which I'm glad I did) because I had a limited time. I actually think I would enjoy the sandwich more than the toast.

I liked the drink; I think I would opt to get some boba or toppings next time! They also have a wide selection of pastries and treats that I would be sure to try!
