Ladurée

The food is so good here. High quality and very delicious. Laduree is known for their macaroons, however they have many pastries that are excellent. I also highly recommend their breakfast menu as well. So delicious!

I love this place! We had brunch here for the first time today and it was delicious. The service was impeccable and the food was wonderful. It made my day. Definitely recommend!

I’ve had macarons from all over the United States (unfortunately not in Europe yet) and these are hands down the best ones I have ever tried. I also got a delicious hazelnut type cake. It was unbelievable! I cannot wait to come back!

As you know Laduree is originally from Paris, France. They have multiple locations in the US too. This branch in Bethesda is really small. Well decorated and cozy but compare to Paris or new york locations is lacking so much! Still delicious which you will enjoy their pastries.

We were so excited to finally visit this new Laduree location since the one in Georgetown has always been the closest to us and our go to! Everything was absolutely fantastic, the staff was friendly, and we found a few pastries and macarons we had never seen at other Laduree locations so that was also a fun surprise. T 11/10 reccomemd the Iced Rose lattes!

Stopped in with friends from out of town yesterday afternoon, and the shop was enchanting. The person behind the counter offered my young daughter a free pink macaron (she’ll be a customer for life ;)) and the 6 macarons we bought for $25 were delicious. We all had different favorites, but I think black currant and passion fruit were the most popular. I noticed they also serve afternoon tea, so I’ll have to try it sometime. Definitely expensive — a special occasion place — but it’s fun to have somewhere to go that’s so beautifully done.

Delicious as expected! As Bethesdan residents, we had been walking past the “open soon” sign for months and it finally is. The chocolate eclair is to die for with delicate creams and the passion fruit tart was a delight. House blend iced tea is perfect to quench your thirst on a scorching afternoon. Lovely little afternoon tea place in a gorgeous town.

This recently opened store in downtown Bethesda is part of the La Durée French pâtisserie with branches in Georgetown and DC. La Durée origins go back to mid 19th C. Paris, but in the last 10-15 years it has expanded throughout the world. The store specializes in macarons, but it also has many other exquisite pastry confections, which can be had to go, or consumed in premise, at its dainty marble tables. The employees are friendly and warm, and there is always someone with whom you can practice your French. The store is small, but it does no feel that way due to its pastel decor and colorful murals.
