“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“These macaroons were delicious definitely a must stop spot in the WARF. I had the cinnamon and the orange macaroons and they wer both delicious and tasty. Great place open areas sitting Inside or outside. The staff is very attentive and knows their macaroons. Definitely will go here again when I’m in DC.“

“Great place to get a coffee, great people working here and wide selection of deli/bakery items. Also right across the street from Lincoln Park, this place has been a staple for our house“

“I really wanted to love this cafe, but a few things threw me off. The prices seemed affordable at first, but after the unexpected 12% service charge and DC’s already high taxes, my total was a lot higher than I expected. That said, my scallion pancake sandwich was really good—the sauce added so much extra flavor! The drip coffee was also solid, and the location is great. I’d love to see them cut down on these extra fees, though, because the cafe itself is gorgeous inside. I can definitely spend an afternoon here reading“

“The dark chocolate is rich, decadent, thick, indulgent. I paired it with their butter croissant - it’s buttery, not the classic French-kind, it’s thick- but this texture goes really well with the dark chocolate. I just kept shaking my head after each sip and bite in disbelief- amazing. Will be back for sure. And the Christmas lights on the ceiling make this place that much more magical. Thank you to the amazing baristas- they’re super nice and make this place even more magical ✨👏🏻“

“Lucky enough to live right by this location. These cupcakes are perfect! Just the right amount of frosting to cake. Flavors are always changing to keep it interesting - but, at the same time, there are core flavors you can count on. The staff is incredibly kind. Everything is baked fresh right on premises every single day - not brought in from some other location. Prices are reasonable. If you are on their mailing list they often have promotions :) The mini cupcakes are beyond adorable. And, I have a neighbor that tells me his dog is totally addicted to the pup cakes. It’s a 10/10!“

“The cake looked and tasted amazing! He made it exactly how I wanted it and everyone loved it. I would highly recommend. I will be getting all my cakes from here from now on.“

“Food was very good and wonderful servers.“

“I first learned of Ladurée decades ago when I made a trip to London. A colleague of mine asked me to bring back macarons from their first store outside of France at Harrods of London. I obliged and was introduced to macarons.

Prior to the Ladurée opening in Bethesda, I would need to get my macaron fix in New York, but now I can simply walk a few blocks as opposed to travel hundreds of miles to the City.

How is the macaron in London, the same in New York, and most importantly, the same in Bethesda? In order for Ladurée to maintain their consistency worldwide, all macarons sold outside of France are made in a factory in Switzerland, put in a hibernation state, and shipped to each store. The quality of a product is more important than the allure of something made "fresh daily" and I have yet to find a better macaron than those from Ladurée.“
