Why locals recommend it

Chantal Guillon has the best macarons I've ever tasted in my life. Each macaron is perfect, and they offer an endless variety of flavors. I'm a huge fan of their passion fruit, lavender and blackcurrant, and Italian pistachio (which they handpick and source from Italy). Each season offers new limited and fun flavors you can't get anywhere else. In addition to their macarons, the cute and elegant store also offers French fare and pastries. Their croissant al jambon is fantastic—buttery and oozing with melted cheese.

Perhaps the best macarons in the country. Try their vanilla and almond.

A little bit of Paris in Hayes Valley. Visually stunning and delectable tasting array of French macarons and teas by Mariage Feres. The colors alone will inspire you.
