A New Yorker is rating this place. Ladurée have in NYC too! It was very relaxed vibes to stay and eat here. When I got here around 2:30pm, only / almond croissant left so if you like it, please go there early. Enough space for every customers to stay . There're 2 bathroom. Highly recommended!

As far as a beautiful place to get Macaroon's and hot chocolate, fantastic. Only drawback were the prices and selection. Previously I had seen in photos that they once had a much wider selection. It's all very delicious but I wanted more. The hot chocolate was good and the seating area is pleasant. Really a beautiful location.

Place is for sure average! Don't get me wrong. I love cutesy, overhyped places, but please sell me the fantasy on arrival! I found the servers very pretentious and rude. Despite this, we had tea and a few pastries.

While shopping in Georgetown, I found a beautiful, quant place for coffee, hot chocolate and delicious almond croissants! Laduree, the interior ambiance is much like a European, French place with the crown moldings, mirrors and crystal everywhere. The service is prompt and very polite. Space is somewhat cramped if looking for a table; be patient seats open up quickly and the staff is helpful in finding you a table. A bit on the pricy side, but well worth the experience!

From the first look even outside the window, this place makes me feel so fancy and like i was in France. The aesthetic of the place so different from many other place I usually go to. The service was exceptional. The staff that was checking us out and greeted us always smile and so helpful with her recommendations. We got the cutest box of macarons , cost about $28 without tax but it's so pretty I could use it to put gifts in later! We also got the cutest chocolate bar and the cutest chocolate piece. The chocolate "button" one was so delicious, the right amount of sweets and fragrance. I got different flavors of macarons and oh my goodness, they all tasted so soft still the next day and it's like they melt in my mouth. It is not too sweet and just made with perfection. Love the presentation, love the look, love the bag and box that came with the purchase. Overall, it was a bit expensive but it was worth it. I would definitely come back here for a girl date!

I liked this place for its pretty decorations and display. 1. Tea/coffee: 4 stars It is $6.50 to go and $7.70-$9 if you sit down. That's expensive yet it doesn't taste any special. 2. Cakes: 4 stars The looks are good and they have the afternoon tea, which is very popular. Macarons are delicious and good looking. 3. Service: 1 star Super slow, mean, impolite.

Laduree is well-known for their macarons, but did you know some of their locations offer afternoon tea like the one in Georgetown? Favorites during my afternoon tea jncluded: Club Laduree sandwich (creamy chicken salad sandwich) Plaisir Sucré (not too sweet pastry that's crunchy and filled with hazelnuts, praline, and milk chocolate) Pistachio and coffee macarons Thé Roi Soleil (green tea with hints of rhubarb and caramel) Pro tip: If you're really looking to indulge, add a mocktail to your afternoon tea order ($$)
