Move over cupcakes of Georgetown, Olivia Macaron is offering up an incredible treat of their own. Located beside Dean and DeLuca on M Street, this store is a must stop for everyone.

We’ve noticed the photos Olivia Macaron has posted on both Twitter and Facebook, and have said on multiple occasions that next time we’re in Georgetown we need to stop in. After being asked earlier this week if we had tried their August flavors of the month, I decided it was time for a trip. For those who know me, you know I love sweets. I can say without hesitation that macarons are being added to the list of sweets I love.

After taking several photos of the giant mural inside the front door, I confessed to the employees I’d never had a macaron.  They quickly gave me a rundown of the various flavors offered and then let me sample the rose flavor as a test. Since Al was off enjoying a dinner event I decided this was my opportunity to indulge and purchase a case of 12. We both agree the chocolate is our favorite, though the peanut butter and jelly is a great option as well.

I’d recommend getting at least a couple different flavors, especially since there are so many from which to choose.  The staff is exceptional if you have any questions or are as clueless as I was a coup le days ago. Enjoy your purchases, we’ll be making a trip back soon.

Remember, just because Georgetown has so many great cupcake shops doesn’t mean there isn’t another dessert gem just around the corner.
