Prior to our visit to San Francisco I made a list of patisseries and bakeries that carried macarons. As of late macarons have been my go-to snack and favorite indulgence, and I was ready to taste the treats available in the City. We had visited a few shops and purchased a lot of yummy macs, but my favorites came from Chantal Guillon.
Nestled in SF's Hayes Valley, this wonderful shop is so chic and welcoming.
I love that the shop is solely dedicated to macarons and teas. They do what they love and they do it very well.
Super cute business cards!
My box of deliciousness: green tea, pistachio, hazelnut, salted caramel, orange, and bourbon vanilla. They are both airy and dense, and chewy with just enough sweetness. I'm actually rationing them out to last me the entire week ;)
Nummers! I'm favorite macaron place is Laduree, although I've never been there, a couple people have brought me mararons back from trips to France. Locally there is a French cafe near my office. My favorite flavor it rose. I could eat those everyday :)
