Yummy! Ive been wanting to get here for a few months & finally made it. Gorgeous and so many wonderful flavors to choose from, theyre incredibly helpful & friendly. I cant wait to return. I adore the beautiful macaron tree.There are seasonal flavors that change and limited edition flavors in addition to the classic ones so be prepared to have a hard time narrowing your choices down.Such a treat!

Such a selection of macarons. In my opinion I have never had macarons as delicious as these. They were soft with the perfect crunch to them, and they tasted fantastic.

This cafe is absolutely gorgeous and the macarons are amazing! They have seasonal flavors. My favorite of all times is their creme brûlée macaron - so creative and sooooo delicious!

I received a half dozen as a gift from a good friend. They were delicious, light, & flavorful.

Huge selection of different flavors. These are French macarons and quite delicate. If you have a special event coming up, they can even customize some for you.

I can attest those are the real deal, just like in France, equivalent if not better in taste to top end Paris shops. Pleasantly surprised. Creative flavors too. Highly recommended!

I love these macarons. They are my favorite dessert. It was my only request for my 50th birthday. No cake just a macaron tower from Chantal Guillon. We froze about 4 dozen and finished the last few 2 weeks ago. Best gift ever.

Best chewy macarons ever =).

Their red velvet reminds me so much of my friends red velvet cupcake, like im eating it literally. Ended up buying 2 dozens. Definitely worth the drive from San Leandro to SF. 👍🏻

Yummy macarons, a touch overpriced though

The best macaroons. We bought the gold and silver coated ones that were exquisite. Perfect texture, sweet and full of flavor. This place has ruined all others for me.

This place is a tasty little gem. The store is brightly lit, showing off their treats in display counter. We came here and got a box of 12, they let you hand pick the flavors. I suggest buying only what you can eat in a couple of days and storing it in the frig. Allow them to come to room temperature before eating. I really like that they give you a flavor menu to go with your box. The people who run the store is super friendly. We cant wait to go back again.

Service was very friendly and helpful! Not a macaroon fan but my girlfriend loves them! The ice cream macaroon sandwich was delish!

Who knew there could be so many varieties of macaroons? I didnt! Easy to pick out a favorite few and enjoy on a walk along the street. Im not particularly a macaroon fan but I enjoyed the experience nevertheless. Great for a quick quick sating of a sweet tooth.

Absolutely the most delicious Macarons in all of San Francisco. Their unique flavors are not overwhelming, but are delicate and flavorful, such as the Persian Rose and Earl Grey, which are both a must buy. In addition their traditional flavors are all perfectly executed. You might not find a better Pistachio in all of California.

The Macarons at Chantal Guillon are out of this world. I purchased an assortment of eight flavors and it was worth every penny!

There are only a handful of places Ive had a better macaroon but for SF this place takes the cake. I know a lot of fans will say that Miette Patisserie makes the best but wait till you try Chantal Guillon.The bright colors alone should bring you in but the brighter flavors will keep you coming back for more. A bit pricey if youre on a budget but the quality is well worth it. Buy a box and savor the flavors for as long as you can hold out.

Best macaroons ever! I wish I can afford to eat these everyday! The colorful cookies just beckon to me to eat them! Light and sweet! About $2.25 each, its great! There are monthly flavors that are a nice surprise!

Went to the Howard St. store and must say I was very pleased with the quality and freshness of all the goods. We ordered six different kinds of macaroons, and a couple of their small lunch sandwiches. They were so fantastic we went back for more the next day. I hope other top classes businesses like this invest in the developing area/neighborhood.

The most EXPLOSIVE flavors Ive ever had! Highly recommend. Worth going out of your way for

I love coming here to find out what the limited edition or seasonal macaron that day is. In May, they have a Mothers Day edition which is strawberry and balsamic vinaigrette. It was not as refined and delicately flavored as I imagined it would be. I liked the lemon and poppy seed one. It was divine andgoes extremely well with an Ethiopian bean pour over coffee which enhances the blueberry notes of the Ethiopian coffee. You cant go wrong with passion fruit either.

I recently purchased 18 different flavors as a gift for my sister.  There is an option for them to wrap up the packages. The different flavors were fun to try especially using a blind test to figure out if we were able to guess correctly.  My sister’s favorite was the Salted Caramel while mine was the Persian Rose.

Ordered specific colors/flavors. Not only the delivery was all messed up, but the order too. This is definitely first and last time, no customer care whatsoever. Screwed up a babyshower gift, thanks guys!

So yummy you must try the salted caramel mmmm❤

Seasonal flavors and the classics. a a wonderful place to get a small snack

Always a great spot for some delicious French macarons. The space is impeccable and the staff friendly. Although its a bit pricey, its not exactly out of place in Hayes Valley and the macarons are pretty darn tasty. Treat yourself or someone you really like!

Amazing flavors, and their online ordering is a breeze.

The lady that works there is so nice! She is always smiling and gave me her honest opinion on which flavor of macarons to pick. I ordered the green tea, vanilla, lemon, almond, apricot, and orange passion. Everything was delicious but I think green tea was my favorite.

Second best macarons Ive ever had. The best are not available any where in CA, so this is a clear winner in the area. Get a box of twelve to try all the taste and choose your favourite on your own. There is no bad choice.

One of my favorite macaron places in SF: the flavors are rich, on point, and the texture is pretty good.Ive tried the jasmine green tea, red velvet, and I think coconut and all were good. The green tea had the nice roasted flavor but was also light and refreshing. The red velvet had a nice chocolatey creme that was not overpowering. Coconut also had a nice toasted flavor but was also smooth.Overall, their macarons are well balanced, not too sweet, and they have a good variety of flavors sure to please dessert lovers!

This place offers an amazing variety of mouth watering flavors! To top it off, the macarons are freshly prepared. I recommend the apple caramel and passion fruit flavors!

I wanted to try this place because its a place I can indulge my sweet-tooth on something gluten-free. This shop is small, but passersby cannot help but stop in after seeing their fun window display (or my friend and I gorging on macarons and sipping on tea in the seating area outside was just that convincing).Dont call them macaroons or youll be quickly corrected. Chantal Guillon has a wide variety of flavors to choose from in all different colors. They are light, creamy, and chewy in texture and so rich and full of flavor. Some may be too sweet for those who dont have much of a sweet tooth.Notables:1. Persian Rose - This was absolutely lovely. It almost verges on being too sweet, but isnt. My girlishness blossomed with this one.2. Almond Amaretto - So complex! It isnt just one flavor. From the moment it hits your tongue, the flavor just evolves and changes as it melts in your mouth. Absolutely delicious.3. Red Velvet - Tastes JUST like red velvet cake in a nice bite-size.4. Country Strawberry - Like having a bite of strawberry jam. And I love the little decoration touch of the green leaves to make it look like a strawberry. Very cute.

Some of the best macarons wed had! We ordered the Persian rose and pink earl grey. Loved the location too. Great neighborhood!

These are my favorite macarons. They have a great crisp shell with a chewy center, and the flavors are executed perfectly. I really love the salted caramel, red velvet, and hazelnut. They also have a seasonal champagne flavor that is really delicious.

Great shop with a wide variety of flavors. I had the tiramisu. It had great flavor and tasted incredibly fresh!

These are the best macarons in San Francisco. There are lots of classic and seasonal flavors, and all of them are delicious. The shop is very cute, and theres cute boxes to give these out as gifts.

By far, these are my favorite macrons. They are priced on the higher side of the macron price range, but its well worth the quality. Crisp delicate shells. Tasty fillings. Colorful and fun flavors. They have seasonal flavors and wonderful window displays.Chantal Guillon Macarons make for a great box gift for someone special (including yourself :) )There is also a location on University Ave, in Palo Alto, for those of us that live on the Peninsula or in the South Bay (like myself), and need a macron fix.Personal Favorites: Salted Caramel, Passion Fruit, Champagne Kir (seasonal)

Pretty, petite macaroons. Wide variety of pleasant flavors. Pricey.

The atmosphere is great and the actual store is very pretty. The macarons are some of the best Ive ever had! They are all tasty and the people who work there are very nice.

Super cute macaroon shop! They offer a variety of yummy flavors that will sure win over your taste buds. Grab a box and go to smitten for ice cream afterwards!

The best macaroons Ive ever had. Delicate and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and with unique and delicious flavors in the fillings.

Literally the best macarons in the world. The passion fruit flavour tastes like it was made by fairies in the underworld and if you eat it you cant leave hades.

Fancy pants! I cant quite believe that a store that sells pretty much exclusively fancy egg white desserts can be so successful, but, here it is. The macarons are exquisite, and they had 15 flavors when we went. I wanted to try them all, but the fairly steep price tag prevented that. It would be hard to resist going in walking by on an afternoon -- the store displays and interior are delightful. I like the lavender cassis, but Im also looking forward to returning and trying more flavors.

Glad to have it in the area, service is a little lacking. Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Would love more pastry selection and fewer macarons

Wonderful macarons. We were visiting from Texas when my wife mafe us go 12 blocks out of the way for these cookies. Worth it.

So good. The store is so cute and colorful. Their macarons are pricey but worth it. Highly recommend passion fruit!

The cashier was very helpful. Will be coming back.

Macarons arent a treat that Ive ever been partial to. However, I stopped in on a whim with a friend, and we both agreed that this place is absolutely amazing. They are more cakey than the macarons Ive had in the past, and the flavor & texture is phenomenal. I went back this week and grabbed a few to share with coworkers, who all agreed that it was one of the best macarons theyd ever had—one even decided to start using this as her go to gift for teacher appreciation celebrations.

The best macaron Ive ever had, better than Laduree. You got to try the Passion Fruit flavor, amazing!

If you are coming to the city of San Francisco and in the mood for some delicious macarons this small bakery is worth to drop in for some great sweets. Highly recommended !

Hands down the best macarons in SF. Quality, flavor and texture are pure perfection, with each bite being a moan-inducing experience. The gold-dusted salted caramel macaron will have you coming back for more.

Amazing place, the employees are so polite and wonderful, plus the macarons are out of this world.

Staff was friendly and willing to talk about what items they had. Kind of pricey, but not by much. Worth a stop in

Cozy and quiet place with tasty fresh macarons

Some of the best gluten free macaroons Ive had in a while.

These were absolutely delicious. The red velvet, persian rose and salted caramel were GRAND!!

Pretty macaronsAnd beautiful shopI love it 🙈Also taste was good too👍🏻👍🏻

If you havent tried macarons, you are missing out. If you have these are some of the best SF has to offer. Different rotating flavors. Pistachio and dark chocolate are my faves. They take paypal too. And did you know macarons are essentially gluten-free? SF as a whole city should be all over that!

Best wedding favors ever. If you dont think you like macarons then you havent been here.

Friendly truck inside mint plaza right in front of blue bottle coffee. got a small OG with added goji berries. A small now cost $10.50.the acai was not too sweet. topped with slices of bananas fanned out, granola, a few blueberries and dried goji berries. all drizzled with honey which added the sweetness. it tasted healthy and clean....and filling for just a small.great snack during the day!

Incredible. id fly across the country just to get one of the salted caramel.

Cute little french macaron bakery with interesting flavorspretty box--good for gifting :)our favorites are the salted caramel and the espressoseasonals: lemongrass//passionfruit//coconut lime..go now and try them!

My wife loves macarons and she says these are the best shes had outside of Paris

Interesting seasonal flavors. $2.50, though, for a macaron that you can finish in one bite.

Cute place... Delicious macarons.

A wonderland of macarons & tea! ♥️

Simply delicious! Perfectly soft and delictable.

Expensive but excellent macaroons with an expansive list of flavors - just like in Paris.

My favorite is the EARL GRAY🖤

My wife and I loved the macarons, they were bursting with fruitiness.

It was our first time trying these macarons and we love the texture, the unique flavors (raspberry rose lychee! coconut chocolate!) as well as the more traditional flavors such as green tea, red velvet, and almond vanilla.Our experience was immeasurably enhanced by the warmth of the staff, especially William and Jenny.William gave us a mini lesson, as to why and how their macarons excel in quality and taste from others, how their filling is a chocolate based, versus the more commonly used (less expensive) cream-based, that they use Varrhona chocolate (the same chocolate used by Tartine), and a host of other interesting tidbits that reflect their high standards.Jenny introduced us to their Howard stores state of the art kitchen, and to the various pastries available at that location.A big thank you to the owner Guillaume, and to William and Jenny for their warmth and hospitality on Sunday. We are forever your fans.

This particular Chantal Guillon is located on Hayes Street in a very nice and high-end neighborhood. The restaurants and stores nearby all look very upscale. Theres also a really nice park a block away, where when I went, featured a wooden structure made of popsicle sticks or something. Stepping into the macaron store, you can pretty much expect the macarons to be on the pricey side. Surrounded by four white walls with their signature Chantal Guillon sprawled in script on the wall, the macarons are the center of attention. There are a few tables and chairs located by the big window, but most people come in, buy their macarons, and are on their way within minutes. Obviously its not a hard choice, but for me - I have a difficult time figuring out whether or not I want a box or single macarons, and which flavors I should choose.I ended up getting a box of six ($12.50) and 3 more individual macarons ($2.15 each). Price point is okay; if you buy a box of six, each macaron is about $2.08.Seasonal flavors:Strawberry: I really liked this flavor - very fresh and I liked the brightness of the red shell that contrasted with the white flecks on the outside of the shell. It had a good solid flavor that didnt taste artificial.Lemon poppy seed: I thought having the poppy seed would make the macaron taste a bit different, but it was basically a lemon macaron with poppy seeds on the shell. This was a bit more sour than Bottega Louies lemon macaron, which is my favorite lemon one out of all the places Ive tried.Regular flavors:Salted Caramel: Super pretty with gold dusk sprinkled on top. This was one of my favorites! Classic salted caramel with good flavor. Youre able to taste the salted caramel, but it wasnt too sweet or salty. The macaron is chewier than the others due to the caramel filling, which wasnt too melty (like Lettes where it causes the filling to melt before its even eaten). I would absolutely recommend this flavor if youre a fan of caramel.Tahitian Vanilla: Classic vanilla. Not too unique. If youre a fan of vanilla, youd probably like this one.Almond Amaretto: Decent. It was pretty light. My favorite almond macaron is still from Lette. This one didnt have the sweetness that I craved and had a more nutty flavor.Jasmin Green Tea: This was recommended by the girl helping me. I expected it to taste more floral than sweet, but it was a lot sweeter. I probably wouldnt order this again. The one at Caffe Concerto is slightly better.Persian Rose: Had a very light floral rose taste, which I liked. This was one of my favorites as well. Not too overwhelming and was really refreshing.Passion Fruit: Had the perfect amount of passion fruit flavor to this macaron. If youre into the more tangy macaron flavors, this is perfect for you.Raspberry, Lychee & Rose: This was another really good one. I was intrigued by the lychee and rose in the macaron, and didnt know how all three would taste. I thought it was pretty good! Slightly more sour due to the raspberry and lychee than the Persian Rose. I would recommend this just because the flavors are more unique than other macaron flavors.Overall, I thought the macarons here were above average compared to the other macaron places Ive been to. It had the perfect crispy shell, but upon biting into it, provided a chewy bite. I ate a few macarons when they were fresh, and had the remaining ones a day later and they were still really good.tl;dr - Definitely a macaron place I would recommend if youre in the SF area. The price point is decent. Service was okay - I felt a bit pressured to hurry and order while I was still looking at the macarons (and taking pictures of them) because I was asked several times by the girl behind the counter if I was ready. She stood there staring at me, which inclined me to hurry and order. I would order the salted caramel, rose, strawberry, and raspberry lychee & rose again.

Pretty store, tasty treats, friendly staff.

I just came back from Paris and Lyon this past week, and I tried macarons at Pierre Herme, La Durree, and a shop in Les Halles de Lyon.I have to say, I still like Chantal Guillon Macarons the best.They have a wide variety of flavors and the perfect amount of chewiness. Its the real deal! The shop is very cute as well and located near lots of nice shops in Hayes Valley. A definite must if youre around Hayes and looking for a nice snack or dessert.

Greeted with pastel colors, white painted walls, and dainty looking-beautifully arragned--macarons inside a glass display case is exactly what youll find and more when inside this Hayes Valley macarons shop. Once inside, youll feel like youve been transported to some quaint pastry shop in Paris: the male server who helped me select my macarons had a heavy French accent and was kind in making flavor suggestions. I only ordered the Almond Amaretto and the Italian Pistacchio flavors; and, found that these macarons are cant be beat! They are the best tasting macarons. I loved, loved, loved the texture and taste of the Almond one and have declared it to be my favorite dessert thing to my husband. *hint *hint Oh, and, theres another SF location that will be opening up soon...I forgot where exactly...

If you are a fan of Mariage Freres wonderful teas, you know how difficult it is to find their teas either online or in stores; I make a trip to Dean & Deluca every time Im in New York to replenish my stock. Well, Chantal Guillon puts D&Ds selection to shame: Chantal shop carries atleast two dozen of Mariage Freres teas, in both the satchel and loose leaf tins. The prices are very in line with how much Mariage Freres goes elsewhere, about $20 a package.The shop was very helpful and clearly knowledgeable about the teas (and understandably proud of their selection.) I happily floated out of the store with a tin of Rouge Bourbon tea and four macarons in hand - I could have easily bought more of each!

Every time I eat a CG macaron, I feel like Im in heaven! The macarons are spot on and probably some of the best Ive EVER had. Mind you, Ive never been to Laduree or anything... Nonetheless, these small little things are dangerously delicious!Yes, a bit pricey as each macaron run about $1.75 for a small macaron, but totally worth it! Each macaron has bold flavors and right about of sweetness. CG perfects the contrast between the crispiness of the cookie shell, chewiness of the cookie, and creaminess of the ganache - such dynamic sensation! I really enjoyed the pistachio and salted caramel. But Im pretty sure that all their flavors will taste equally wonderful!Cant wait to try more! :)

Delightful. Creamy. Sweet. Heavenly.I had the privilege of attending an ice cream premiere where to my delight, I found that macarons were being served.Not just any macarons, but Parisian style.Madame Guillon was there herself, as were several of her patissières (female pastry chefs).Her head patissière, Erin, was on hand to tell us about the product and how they craft their sweet treats.Surrounded by macarons of all colors and flavors, it was time for my friend and I to gorge ourselves!!!!We tried each and every one of their flavors. Twice. Ah, I love premieres like this!Chocolate Truffle -- rich chocolatey goodnessEspresso Coffee -- strong espresso flavor that woke me upTahitian Vanilla -- light and deliciousSalted Caramel -- excellent pairing of sweet and saltyCountry Strawberry -- classic and fruityItalian Pistachio -- another classic well executedCoconut Saffron -- elegant and uniqueOrange Passion -- good pairing of fruitsLavender Poppy -- refined flavor (reminded me of Toulouse, the City of Lavendar)Persian Rose -- too smoky for my liking, but my friend really enjoyed itHazelnut Gianduja -- perfect nuttiness and another of my favortiesGreen Tea -- macha never tasted so goodPeach Bellini -- tastes just like its namesakeDark Chocolate -- deep, rich flavorApricot Marzipan -- Im crazy for marzipan, so this combo is one of my favoritesChestnut Glaze -- tastyPassion Fruit -- juicy and exoticAlmond Amaretto -- wonderful amaretto sweetnessOne our way out, they gave us their adorable boxes filled with 6 macrarons, which I shared with my loved ones at home. They also marveled at the rich yet light flavor, and concurred that Lavender Poppy, Hazelnut Gianduja, and Country Strawberry were quite palatable.I think that a visit to their Hayes Valley storefront to enjoy a macraron with tea will be in order next.

Best macarons weve ever tasted, will be back for more

Really good macarons with a decent price.

Best macarons Ive ever had.

Amazing and so yummy! Its fairly expensive but most defiantly worth the drive and price.

Love their macarons!

Fancy tasting macarons. Legit.

The best macaroons ever!

A taste of France in the heart of Hayes Valley

I literally can not eat Macarons anywhere else.......I first discovered Macarons here and since I live in Berkeley I try and find anything close to get my fix but havent found anywhere that comes close to the quality

Best macarons here!

Macarons look good emm

Mouthwatering when I think of it!

Expensive but very good

Destination delights

Amazing

Excellent Macarons

It is small, expensive but delicious. I also have gelato. I did not eat much because it was cold. I think its hard to eat more than five.

One of the best macarons Ive found in the city. The price is not exaggerated and they have a very interesting selection. I recommend Red Velvet.

My first macarron. The best.
