Chateau de Chantilly Cafe

WOW!!! ✨☕️🥐🥮🎂🍰🧁 This adorable bakery cafe was perfect! The ambiance in there was so calm and inviting. We booked a paint and sip event that was held in the cafe and we had a great time. The dessert selection was crazy! So many items that all looked so beautifully done. The white mochas were perfect 🤩 and looked so beautiful too. The prices were a little high for a lot of the pastries, but we still wanted to sample a few of them to see if it was worth the price. We really liked everything we got. My only complaint is the lack of seating on nights that there are events in the back area. We struggled to find somewhere to sit when we ordered a coffee and some pastries.

I went to this Korean-French Cafe today after dinner and got an iced caramel macchiato and some tasty bakery breads along with it. The atmosphere was nice and calming with my siblings and my mom. UPDATE (Second Day) I went back here again after dinner and ordered a grapefruit iced tea drink with a slice of fresh cream fruit cake. 🍰 😋

1/4/26 We visited Chateau de Chantilly Cafe on my birthday, and it was actually my first time there. The place was quite busy, which speaks to its popularity. We ordered a chocolate truffle cake along with a variety of iced and hot coffees. The ambiance and overall vibes were really nice—warm, lively, and a great spot to sit and relax. However, the hot beverages were not hot enough. Both the hot chocolate and chai latte were lukewarm, and we had to specifically request them to be made hotter, which took away a bit from the experience. Overall, it’s a pleasant place and we’d likely return for the atmosphere and desserts, but the temperature of hot drinks definitely needs improvement.

Went here based on a friend’s suggestion and ended up trying their Halloween special small cakes. We got the Chocolate Halloween Cake, Mango Mousse, and a slice of Basque Cheesecake. The Mango Mousse was a bit disappointing, but the other two were absolutely divine. The place itself is really impressive — super cool seating, great ambiance, and a wide variety of desserts and drinks to choose from. There’s definitely something for everyone… as long as you pick the right ones 😅 Overall, a lovely spot for dessert lovers with plenty of options to explore!

Château de Chantilly is a hidden gem that pairs an eclectic, high-ceilinged atmosphere with truly inventive baking. This isn’t your typical pastry shop; it’s a bright and clean space where every visit feels like a small adventure, offering cozy multi-level seating and a lovely outdoor area. The variety of sweet and savory treats is exceptional, with quality that rivals top-tier bakeries in NYC. While their menu is full of creative surprises, the chocolate croissants and amande croissants are absolute standouts. Pair them with one of their handcrafted coffees—which are as delicious as they are beautiful, often featuring detailed foam art. Whether you're dining in or grabbing to-go, this creative cafe is a must-visit for anyone seeking high-quality pastries and a wonderful atmosphere.

I ordered a custom cake for my boyfriend’s birthday, I sent them a reference photo and ITS PERFECT!! My boyfriend loves carrot cake and he said it was the best carrot cake he’s ever had.!!! The frosting was delicious, overall 10/10!! Price wasn’t bad either for this custom cake. THANK YOU!!!

I am not a Coffee drinker but this place is Awesome! It felt so alive and the selection of food to pair with your hot or cold beverage was plenty! It appeared to be a coffee/wine bar. You could eat down stairs or upstairs. There was a book study and area in the back, It was more quiet back there and the amount of books to choose from and read was amazing! You could also purchase wine from this location. Very fresh desserts, croissants, gluten friendly options. I would definitely return!

Great spot for studying or casual meetings! I stopped by this coffee shop recently and was really impressed. The interior design is beautiful, modern, and super comfortable. There are plenty of tables, good lighting, and lots of outlets, which makes it perfect for studying or meeting up with friends or coworkers. I ordered a mocha and a cappuccino, and both were excellent. The mocha was rich and perfectly balanced (not too sweet!), and the cappuccino had that smooth, velvety foam that’s hard to find. You can tell they take their coffee seriously here. It’s definitely one of those places where you can stay for hours; great coffee, chill atmosphere, and a space that actually makes you feel inspired to get things done. Highly recommend!

Came here for a mid-morning coffee. No vegan pastries (bummer), but everything looked yummy. Got a cafe latte with an extra shot and oat milk. It was delicious, with a nice creaminess. There was a steady stream of customers, but they had our drinks (four total) out in under 10 minutes. I loved the ambiance--there are 3 distinct "spaces" within the coffee shop. A front part, near the bakery, which feels like a kind of eclectic coffee shop (lots of couches and comfy chairs!). Then there's the library room, in the back of the first floor. This had much dimmer lighting, dark wood bookshelves on all walls, and piano in the middle. It was a cozy, slightly crowded feel. Then there's the upstairs, which is a nice, wide, well lit space with bigger tables. Seems like a great space for larger groups, board games, and so on. I came right after Christmas, and they had a very festive vibe going!! Overall, highly recommend. Unique aesthetic & good coffee--the only thing I wish is that they had some vegan baked goods!

Made the drive while I was in Arlington, and it was worth it. Chantilly cake in chantilly Virginia? I had to. Tasted really similar to the chantilly cake from Whole Foods, if I'm being honest. Also got the dubai chocolate croissant AND YES. Flaky, and that pistachio filling was so creamy and lovely.

It's a cute space inside to be sure And there are plenty of options But the quality of the food leaves something to be desired. They tend to be dry, lack flavor, and overall underwhelming. For example, I'm a big fan of the Disneyland raspberry macaron, they have a version of this- the raspberry look old, the cream is only in the center instead of throughout, and it tastes like cheap whip as opposed to flavorful delicate cream. If they had better quality, I'd be here every day. As it is, with the often rude and impatient service, I'll take myself elsewhere

This is not just a bakery, it has a ton of seating downstairs and upstairs hidden away so that it still feels like a small bakery when you walk in. They have such a wide variety of fun pastries and cakes. You can pick some of your own pastries or ask the stuff behind the counter to pull something from the case and it's a pretty seamless process. Would recommend getting a pastry and funding a place to sit and enjoy it, but I had a great experience just grabbing in going

I'm here a lot I like it here for remote work especially when they opened the top floor! Great space but expensive pastries

Drinks and cake were very mediocre. $8+ for a small piece of cake, overtaken by a large dollop of cream. The "real dark chocolate" neither tastes real nor is it actually dark chocolate. Not worth the price. On a positive note, staff was very pleasant.

Located in the Metrotech Shopping Center, towards the Centreville Rd entrance, sits Chateau De Chantilly Cafe. The home of the best cronut in Northern Virginia. Flaky, buttery, perfectly filled, and not too sweet. The pastry selection is huge, and everything looks (and tastes) incredible. The cafe also offer cakes that are light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The cafe does get busy at times, but it's 100% worth it a visit.

Food is baked daily. Bakery is exquisite with a huge selection of savory and sweet selections. The service is swift and friendly. The baristas definitely knew their craft. Ambience is very European Farmhouse. My favorite coffee house/bakery in Virginia thus far!!!!

We came pretty late in the evening so the bakery items weren't available. They had a few that we snatched up. We also had a matcha and a chai latte as well as one of the ice cream in a can. Service was mediocre. Not friendly but not rude. The cafe is nice with a beautiful room full of books.

Whenever I'm in the area, I always try and stop by Chateau de Chantilly for their iced pistachio latte (+almond milk and espresso shot) - never disappoints! I've also tried other lattes, but this is by far my favorite. I also have enjoyed their croissant pastries. Definitely don't come here eye hungry!

As others have said, the desserts are overly sweet. I didn't detect artificial flavors in my two items, but I was not expecting them to be so sickeningly sweet. So if you love things overly sweet, this is the place for you. Everything in the cases looked beautiful and tasted fine, just too sweet for me personally. My drink was fine. I will try again and see if I can find something more savory to try.

This is such a cute spot for chatting with friends over drinks/snacks or working. The cozy bookshelf alcove area and the skylights on the second floor seating gave almost a homey atelier vibe. I picked up the pastries and ordered the black tea boba. The service was polite and friendly, and my drink came out pretty quickly. The pastries were really tasty, and the tea had a lot of flavor, which I appreciated since a lot ot boba places overwhelm the tea flavor with the milk. The boba was slightly squishier than I'd personally like, but again, the tea was really good. I also really like that they host events like live music and sip-and-paint. Definitely planning on going to one sometime soon!

A perfect spot if you've got a sweet tooth and want something to wash it down with. There's a wide variety of drink options, from coffee to fruity refreshers, and a generous selection of pastries--you're bound to find something you'll enjoy. Despite how busy it gets, the customer service is usually pretty solid. The lighting is just right--not too harsh, not too dim. There's plenty of seating, but thanks to the place's popularity, it's often packed. *** It shares a parking lot with a few other businesses, so parking is limited--but there is street parking nearby, or you can park at the At Home shopping center if you don't mind a short walk. I tried the crème brulee macaroons and they were an absolute hit! Probably one of my favorite treats to get from there.

I saw some really aesthetic croissants from this place so I had to try when I was in the area. I got a couple different croissants that looked good and a quiche for my savory tooth. The quiche was great - super fluffy middle that was loaded with cheese and ham. The croissants, on the other hand, were just alright. A bit too sweet for my preferences but they were nice a flakey. Not bad by any means, but they definitely looked better than they tasted. Pastries: Pistachio Croissant, Oreo Croissant, Creme Brûlée Croissant, Ham and Cheese Quiche

Chateau Bakery & Café is one of those rare finds that you almost don't want to share because it feels so special. The variety and quality of baked goods here is incredible--everything from delicate sweet and savory pastries to decadent desserts, all clearly made with care and creativity. The space itself is just as impressive as the menu. It's warm, inviting, and full of character, with cozy corners for reading, larger tables for visiting with friends, and even private spaces indoors and out. Books line the walls, creating the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy, and there's even a piano that hosts live concerts, adding to the charm. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee, treating yourself to dessert, or settling in with a book for the afternoon, Chateau strikes the perfect balance between café comfort and bakery indulgence. A true hidden gem that's absolutely worth a visit.

A bakery where you grab your own tray and serve whatever bread you want sounds insane doesn't it? For all you bread lovers this place is a must go! The ambiance is really cute (although I really wish they could have done slightly better in the upkeep in terms of decor / sheets on sofas). The servers are patient and friendly! Don't miss out on the crème brûlée coffee! I had to order twice, so good!

After seeing Chateau de Chantilly quite a few times on Instagram, I had to try it. We visited on a Saturday morning and it was decently busy. The cafe itself is beautiful and has a cozy atmosphere. There is also plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. Parking is a bit sparse, so you might have to look a bit of park across the street. When you walk in, they have cases of pastries that you can choose from. You are able to grab the pastries from the cases yourself. I ended up with 4 pastries. I really enjoyed the bacon and cheese bread pastry that I got, it was tasty. I tried the strawberry croissant roll which was okay, it was crispy but lacking flavor. The cinnamon roll was disappointing, I prefer my cinnamon rolls to be soft over crispy. Also the almond croissant was okay, it didn't have a lot of flavor. I also got the dirty chai latte, which I didn't like. It had so much cinnamon, I had a hard time drinking it. They even put a large cinnamon stick in the drink. Overall, the cafe is super cute, but the drink and pastries were disappointing.

My daughter found this place, and the whole family is glad she did! The ambiance is like a bookshop, coffee shop, bakery, and poetry reading hub. There are tables upstairs and down. One of the display cases is in the center of the room and I swear I circled it like a shark. It is one of the few places I've seen that feature many of the dessert pastry and cake challenges from The Great British Baking Show. Our party had multiple coffees and desserts. We shared and gushed about how tasty it all was. The Biscoff Tiramisu was a hands down favorite ! You order and pay at the counter, then find a seat.

I really wanted to like Chateau de Chantilly on the vibes alone but sadly my order just wasn't it. Maybe their other drinks are good but I wouldn't recommend the "black tea boba" which is heavy on the brown sugar syrup even though it's not marketed as a brown sugar drink. The boba was also off, less chewy and more on the blobby side. Which is unfortunate because it really is a cool looking spot with a ton of different pastries and other drinks options if you're a coffee fan.

OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. My friend took me here as I'm visiting from out of town and she said it's her favorite bakery and I am on that boat with her. We walk in and it is the most whimsical interior. We came on a Saturday and it definitely was busy but the line moved quick and there was plenty of pastry items to choose from. I ended up getting a strawberry matcha with my pastries. These pastries were delicious I got what I thought was a waffle with whipped cream, strawberries, and custard and to my surprise it was a waffle but it was a croissant pressed into a waffle and it was fabulous. I can't wait to come back.

Just wanted to say that this spot was fantastic! Great atmosphere with great customer service and the ambiance was relaxing and quiet. Plenty of books to read and cozy spots to sit. So if your ever in the mood from some great tranquility with a book and some coffee.. Chateau De Chantilly Cafe is the place to try.. Thank you again!

I love this place so much! I have been back here a couple of times since my first visit, and it is always a great experience. The staff is very friendly, and the drink orders come out fairly quick too. Highly recommend Mei An's paint and sip events! I went to the La La Land and Mamma Mia events, they were so fun, and the live music was amazing!! She has wine and macarons included in the price (as well as the painting supplies). Will be back again soon!

I have been here a few times for coffee. Today was the first time we decided to pick up a few croissants to try to celebrate the new year. We are suppose to be eating healthy but they looked too good to pass up! The service is great here. There were no pistachio croissants out so I asked the cashiers and baristas if there were anymore. A very friendly staff member went to the kitchen and grabbed two for me. Thank you!! I'm so glad we got to try the pistachio croissants because although they are probably a million calories and expensive, they are so delicious! Yummmmmm Stuffed with pistachio cream and powdered with sugar and chopped pistachio, your first bite into this warmed pastry (make sure to warm up before eating) is pure ecstasy! We look forward to coming back here again and enjoying our order next time in the library. If you didn't already know, there is a library in the back of the cafe where you can sit and enjoy your time here. There is also an upstairs section in the cafe!

I was so excited when I got to Chateau de Chantilly. It's not every day that I'm in this part of NoVA so I convinced all my friends to stop by on our way out of town. One thing is for sure: the decor is so cute and I bet the work atmosphere on a day over the week would be all you need to enjoy a cute little coffee while you work in a lot too loud cafe. It's the kind of coffee shop you'd imagine in the movies with lots of sweet pastries & an abundance of latte flavors. While this is true, almost all our friends picked the s'more lattes, and for the price, our minds weren't necessarily mind blown. By the time I got home, the matcha crinkles I got were super hard (almost impossible to eat), and the only thing I was really able to eat was the red velvet cake that I did not regret one bit (though - if I did have one piece of advice, it would be to switch to cream cheese frosting). It was still good with lots of space but super pricey. Would come again but probably wouldn't be in a rush just yet.

Great food and drinks! Only con is that it's so busy it's hard to find a spot. Otherwise so many great options and great service

Overall: 4.5 stars One of the better local coffee/cafe shops in the Chantilly area. Very pretty interior and space to do work or have small get-togethers. Pastries and coffee/drinks are good (not very different from other local cafes/chains, such as Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours). Parking is relatively limited directly in front/side of the cafe but there are more spots toward the back (short walk). Highly recommend this local cafe/coffee shop. Food Quality: 4 stars Pastry/drink selections are relatively similar to Paris Baguette and Tous Les Jours (not a bad thing as I do like pastries/drinks from there as well). Just to say, nothing particularly 'unique' but still good and a safe choice. Prices are fairly comparable as well. Service/Experience: 4.5 stars Very pretty/unique interior with friendly/welcoming staff. Prompt service. Limited parking in front/side of the cafe but plenty of parking spots toward the back of the cafe (short walk - not very far). Limited seating on the first floor with more seating on the second floor. Can accommodate small gatherings/get-togethers.

There are a lot of Asian bakeries in NoVA - Tour Le Jours, Shilla, Paris Baguette, Jireh, etc. What sets Chateau apart? THE FREAKING LIGHTS! Eh, wait, I think the pastries are more important. Well, no, let's get into the décor first. The presentation of this bakery is in a class of its own. As soon as you enter, you forget you're in a random building in front of a Lotte. The tens to hundreds of hanging lights with their unique charm just welcome you in if you're looking up, and if you can tune out the crowd and the line for a brief moment. You could tell the interior designer probably went bananas with the design budget. Check out the back room with the bookshelves! The high ceiling, the lights, the glass cupboards with hardwood doors for the pastries, the different kinds of seating arrangements, and everything else about this place is amazing. Don't forget to check out the upstairs! Okay, the place itself is quite charming and sets itself apart from other bakeries. How are the pastries themselves? Now, this is hard because the place itself could be playing a psychological trick on me. I feel like Chateau is at least 10% better than any other place. If you asked me which place I wanted to go hang out and have a quick bite and drink, I'd always pick Chateau. If I'm getting a birthday cake, I'm going to Tour le Jours. Otherwise, I'd be here. I also never had any unpleasant experiences with the staff here. Of course, they got to recoup some of those costs of the designs, the place itself, and the high-quality pastries, so the prices here reflect that. That's the only thing preventing me from coming back as often as I'd like. That's not a problem for Chateau though. The place is always crowded and the food is always sold. They have found a good balance. If you've never been, is Chateau a must-go? 100% YES!

This spot is amazing--I'm so glad that I found it. The space itself is incredible--there is so much room, tons of different kinds of seating, TWO floors, and various areas to do work. I love the warm lighting and homey/antique vibe. I came here for a few hours to do work and was comfortable the whole time. I liked the setup where you could browse at the items and then order at the counter. I had the onion bun and an iced chai. The onion bun was real good. The iced chai was VERY good, coming from someone who has several iced chais a week. I went back and ordered a second! They came out very fast too. I definitely recommend this place.

I go to Chateau De Chantilly Cafe a lot for a little pick me up. It's a cute little place with a cozy, elegant vibe. The interior is bright and has a nice book/academia aesthetic for pictures. It's perfect for a chill coffee date or going out for a little treat moment. They usually have a seasonal drink menu and I tend to try it once. If it's not a seasonal drink, I usually get the cafe saigon. It was well made, It's sweet with the contrasting punch of the strong coffee. The pastries are the main thing. My favorite savory item is the spinach croissant. The filling is delicious and the puff pastry has a nice bite. I've gotten a few cakes there for birthdays as well. I've gotten fresh cream with fruit, mango, and red velvet. Honestly, I really enjoy the cakes. Personally one of my favorite treats. I'm glad they also sell by the slice. They're not overly sweet. Service was friendly and try to get people checked out as fast as possible. Friday evenings and weekends are always busy. They would get really long lines those days. I went a few times Friday morning. I really love getting time to sit around and enjoy my coffee and treat. Overall, it's a lovely cafe to unwind, catch up with a friend. It's one of my favorite bakeries from the amount of options of foods and drinks.

This place is the hottest spot in Chantilly for ambience, coffee and having a good time. Go any time of the day, it is always packed with people of all generations. It's hard to find spots like these in burbs. Coffee and other drink options are good. Lots of options for unlimited carbs and sugar cravings. A melting pot for different cultures!

It's one of my favorite pastries and cafe in the DMV area! They have an amazing selection of bread and coffee. The vibe is very homey!. The service is great, even though they have a lot of customers they are finished my order in a timely manners! This place is a must visit!

Highly anticipated visit. Ive been waiting to visit this place for a while now so it was hard to contain my excitement. There are so many pastries. I wanted to limit my self to only two which was a difficult task. I spent about 5mins just looking at all of the options in terms of pastries. I was very pleased with the options I ended up with (Cookies and Cream Cruffle & Chocolate Chateau Croll). I could go back and visit this place 20 times and still have a variety of pastries to choose between. I've only been once but it seems as though they rotate between their pastries. I tried their chocolate chip cookies and they weren't that bad either. I definitely plan on making a couple more stops within the next few months.

Ambiance: 5/5 Quality of food: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Came with a group of 8 to this cute cafe! The aesthetics are 10/10. They have an assortment of Asian-inspired breads, cakes, and pastries. Each of the items are beautifully made and very picture worthy. I got the Mont Blanc. I was a little hesitant at first because it was very expensive (everything is pretty expensive here), but it was delicious! I'm giving 4/5 for food and price because I don't think I'd pay that amount for it again. However, if you're trying to splurge for a night and take pictures for friends, it's a great place!

The aesthetic of this cafe is wonderfully delightful. The whimsical decor echos a hipster sense of home with two stories of casual coach and comfy chair seating arrangements. There is strong WiFi for remote workers, and the staff are very friendly. The bakery's goods are delicious, and the drinks are equally lovely. I will be returning.

Another hotspot my friend took me took me to when I had a trip back to NOVA. This bakery is huge! I'm surprised one existed in Chantilly; apparently it opened right about the time when I moved away so I'd missed it. But there's two whole floors, so plently of seats for everyone. I really like decor and design they had going on, with all the books-- something about it just made it really pleasing to the eye. I had ordered the lychee mango frape, which was refreshing, sweet, and something different than my usual. I really needed a switchup anyways. But it was like a blended smoothie with bits of lychee in there. Overall not bad. My friend and and I got the blueberry croll to share and while the concept is great, the pastry itself was super hard. We had a rough time trying to cut it up and eat it. Perhaps if it was freshly baked in the morning it'd been a lot better. I have to mention, there were two lines simultaneously. One was surrounding the pastries and one was for the register. The cashier then gave us a pager so we had to wait some more for our drinks to be made. So there were a bit of a wait in total here-- fair warning for those impatient folks out there!

I saw Chateau featured on an instagram reel and beelined it over to Chantilly to check it out. The front is very unassuming but once inside it's MAGICAL! There's many areas full of eclectic decor (and an upper floor) to hang out in. Seating was ample, and people are very nice and will share tables if there isn't enough room, which I liked. The pastries are beautiful! My latte was top notch and came out fast. Their service is great, the staff are super sweet. There were a lot of people working and even some meetups going on. Really loved the vibes at Chateau, it's busy but also very tranquil and relaxing.

I had an amazing experience at Chateau de Chantilly Cafe. The decor and design of the place is breathtaking and magical. I love love the library area in the back. They have a variety of baked goods that look absolutely stunning and they are delicious. I saw Dubai chocolate pastries, savory pastries , cakes , parfaits, etc. I had the chocolate cake and a Nutella filled powdered donut. It was sooo delicious! The cherry blossom latte was on point too. Staff was nice. I can't wait to go back!

Stopped here on a rainy day after visiting the Air and Space museum. It's located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. When you walk in you are greeted with a cozy ambiance of plants and tons of pastries. I didn't try any but admired them all. There was no line so I walked up right away, we ordered a latte and cappuccino. Both were good, not the best I've ever had but not bad. Service was friendly and there are plenty of places to sit, I enjoyed the back room with all of the book shelves. I wouldn't go out of my way to return but I'd go back if I was in the area to try the pastries!

This is a coffee shop paradise. It's so beautiful There's so much seating, it closes at 11 pm, cute desserts & pastries , great for coffee dates, doggos allowed on the patio , and they even serve wine Drinks: Lychee Mango Frappe, Grapefruit Ade (my favorite) Pastries: Ham & Cheese Croissant & Quiche, Chateau Croll Strawberry & blueberry (my favorite) Desserts: Ispahan & Peach Blueberry Tart (my favs) It was pretty quick. Took about 10 mins. This is a great for coffee date

The coolest thing about this cafe is that they have two stories with lots of seatings, cute furnitures and decorations. I ordered cappuccino and it was on point. My partner really loved the hot chocolate. They have so many kinds of fresh pastries from sweet to savory, cakes and drink menus to choose from. Will definitely be coming back!

I keep trying and trying to give this place another shot cause everything on their social media page and menu just look so darn delightful! Unfortunately that will be my last time stopping in. Not only are the workers absolutely unpleasant, but their pastries are always so hard and their cakes? Not worth the high price tag at all. This last time around i got the dalgona latte and at first the sips were just milky so i mixed it so the expresso would settle. And omg when i got to the top portion where the dalgona chips were i was dying! It went from level 1 sugar to level 100. I was legit coughing and spitting from how sweet it was...but just look how pretty the drink appeared...I always eat with my eyes as much people do so i don't know why this place just doesn't please me. It's crazy cause they have a big spot and it stays consistent. The spot is located next to a kbqq, korean restaurant, and mexican in the back. Parking is a headache since they are fighting with other businesses. I am just not a fan. After my 5th here, i will have to retire from giving my money to this place.

I have been coming to this cafe for upwards four years now and I have never found another spot like chateau de chantilly. The seating is PLENTIFULLLLL so you will find a place to sit! There is lots of parking close to the cafe and if it's full there is a parking lot not even a 30 second walk away from the cafe. Service is quick and the workers have always been kind with drink accommodations and questions. The pastries are a hit every time I order. I am so glad to be apart of the community that chateau de chantilly serves and hopes for continued success and business!

First, the pastries were good-- this wasn't the problem. We got three cronuts (chocolate, pistachio and strawberry). If you've been looking for this pastry and can't get your hands on it, this is a great place to try them. Also got a vanilla cruffin-- the pastry is nice and flaky, but the vanilla cream is just slightly sweet. My friend also got the flat pistachio and white chocolate croissant which he said was good but super messy! In total for six things it was around $30. Each pastry averages around $4.50-$6. There's seating upstairs and downstairs, and some outside, but if you come on a crowded day you'll probably do better to take your treats to go. Parking right in front is also limited, but there's a little lot in the back. The inside of the bakery is cute, but again, limited space at times. What's really frustrating and will be the reason we won't likely return is how long it took to pay. I usually never have a problem standing in line and waiting but there was a line basically to the back of the bakery and we didn't move for 30 minutes. Why? At one point no one was ringing anyone up and just making coffees. I am not exaggerating when I say it didn't move for 30 minutes-- we got in line at 11:45am and didn't start to get up to the register until a little after 12:15pm.

In theory...I really like this place and would love to try more of their pastries and coffees, but it is so so so crowded to a point where sometimes I don't have the energy to be there. I'm waiting 15 minutes to order a drink, and even longer to get my drink...stressing out about finding a spot (have never been able to get a table upstairs) and am usually waiting for a table to clear up: Great for them! That they are so busy- but unless I'm in the area with no other places to go, I usually choose or recommend an alternative if I'm meeting a group. I've tried lattes and caramel macchiato-- and it's average. Their croissants are interesting. I did enjoy their ice cream- kind of custardy, but very sweet- wasn't able to finish it with a friend. Seating upstairs, downstairs, and outside but still hard to find a seat- very loud.

First impression was that the place was gorgeous! Definitely gives Georgetown vibes and is a cute spot for college aged people to hangout. First when you walk in, the pastries are self served and you grab a tray. You then pay at the cash register where you can also order drinks or cakes. They have free water and two levels to eat or study on. Nutella donut: super fluffy and chocolatey! I highly recommend if you're craving chocolate Strawberry Croffle: tastes just like a strawberry pocky's and is crunchy on the outside. There's a perfect amount of filling inside. The prices are pretty fair with the self serve desserts being about $5-8 each while that cakes range from $8-12 a slice. I definitely want to come back again to try more flavors. The unfortunate part is you have to eat the desserts right when you buy them or they go stale or soggy pretty fast.

Still as delightful as I remember! They have tons of beautifully made classic and trendy desserts. We got their pistachio croll and ham and cheese quiche, toasted them up at home, and they were scrumptious. One of the tastiest quiches I've ever had! The croll (croissant roll) was beautifully flaky, crispy and fluffy, and filled with a sweet pistachio custard. It was delicious! I don't think they would've been good if I ate them at room temp (as displayed in the store). We also got their nitro cold brew, which was great! Service was nice and quick. I will continue to come back and still recommend this outstanding cafe.

I would recommend this place for sweets and good pastries. I'm not sure how their coffee is, but I will just say this to anybody who enjoys a strongly spiced or even remotely decent chai. This is not the place to get one at they use a very mild syrup I had to request for a pretty large extra side of syrup, and even then I felt like this chai taste was very minimal. It tasted very watered down and initially upon receiving the latte it tasted just like milk, but besides that I will say that their pastries are pretty good. My favorite is probably the chocolate croissant. The café itself is pretty cute. There's ample seating. I'm not really sure if there is enough outlets available where I was sat. There was not an outlet available and it didn't seem like anyone around me had access to an outlet. The service is hit or miss the two times that I've gone the cashier who took my order for the chai was a bit dry in lackluster, but the other two people that helped me were very friendly so I don't really have complaints on service. This is not too far from my house so I will probably return for a sweet treat and a place to study.

Freckled limeade? I like. Today was a little sweet but it's definitely a refresher! Service great Ambiance beautiful as always

This has got to be the most aesthetic cafe ever! They just opened up their top floor for more seating , but it's always packed whenever I go, no matter the time of day. Their baked goods are made fresh and have the best presentation and taste! It's truly a gem in chantilly!
