Cafe Genevieve

I stopped by this adorable coffee shop after brunch to satisfy my sweet tooth, and I'm so glad I did! The place is incredibly cute, with a charming French-inspired theme that makes you feel like you've stepped into a little café in Paris.Their variety of macaron flavors immediately caught my eye--it was hard to choose just one! I finally settled on the vanilla lavender macaron, and it was nothing short of perfection. A perfect macaron is a little masterpiece: the shell should have a delicate, smooth crust that gives way to a chewy, almond-rich interior. The filling must strike the perfect balance of flavor--creamy, sweet, and not overpowering. This macaron delivered on all fronts. The vanilla lavender flavor was subtle yet distinct, blending floral notes with a creamy sweetness that lingered beautifully. Every bite was a little piece of heaven. I'll definitely be returning to try more flavors and soak in the charming ambiance. This shop is a little gem for anyone craving a taste of Paris!

One year exactly since the last time I've enjoyed these macarons (daughter's bridal shower last year; now at a convention at the neighboring Hilton The Main). I hopped over there on a break to bring a six-pack home with me to NC. :-)I selected Pistachio, Chocolate Espresso , Coconut, and Chocolate Birthday Cake today.Can't wait to get them home and NOT share hahahaha.The bar for superior Macarons is too high to meet anywhere else! And I mean ANYwhere. You MUST try Cafe Genevieve in Norfolk's waterside area!

Hot Chocolate Wars Hot Chocolate review!! Already one of my favorite places!! They have some of the best macarons!! They always have a great selection of seasonal flavors!! Sorry we're here for the hot chocolate the hot chocolate was very hot as it should be and had a great flavor they were one of my top 5 as far as the Hot Chocolate War goes!! The mini macaron on the top was the icing on the hot chocolate!! So good ! The team here is always so nice!! The cafe is decorated so nice for the holidays. I love the Christmas Tree it's themed perfectly for the cafe!!

Ordered 3 drinks 2 of them were not good. The coffees that's hould have been flavored were not. They have a "vie en rose" that's supposed to be strawberry and rose flavored it didn't have a hint of either just tasted like old coffee. The other flavor almond raspberry also not a hint of either flavor. The girl seems less than enthused to be helping us. The macarons were ok some had the flavor advertised some didn't really and the way it crumbled when you bit into it it had a strange texture. The chai tea was also ok.Note: I didn't say the coffee wasn't sweet enough i don't need sweet coffee. I said it was advertised as a flavor and it didn't have a hint of any flavor advertised just tasted like old coffee and the cup was also stained like the coffee was spilled not wiped messy presentation. I can understand a bad day. But please don't tell me that it was bad because I'm used to torani syrups that's disrespectful. If you advertise a flavor it should at least have a hint of the flavor it didn't.

Café Genevieve (CG) is a great addition to Selden Market (SM). They were one of the tenants who moved in last year and it's definitely one of my stops when I make my rounds in SM. - Sips -I've had so many different drinks, but my got-tos are iced mochas, hot mochas, and hot chocolates. They participated in the Cocoa Wars in Norfolk last year and they did a sipping chocolate inspired by a café in Paris called Angelina and it was soooooo good. Too bad they can't keep that on the daily, but I have had their regular hot chocolates and they don't cut corners. Made with real milk, just the way it should be. They also have other things to drink like lemonades sourced from France to keep on theme. - Noms -Macarons (only one "o") - they specialize in these little delightful sandwich cookies. I've tried almost all the flavors, my fave being the Nutella and red velvet. I know, I know, I just really love chocolate! So call me cocoa! Haha, see what I did there?! They've recently added other baked goods to their offerings like the pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) and other pastries. I've also had their Petit Pot (which is like a rich pudding).- TLC - The service here is always so welcoming and they truly hire the nicest people. It's like visiting friends rather than a business. They will always make sure to make it to your liking.You can find them at farmers markets on weekends, and they also provide their macarons to local businesses like Aux Delices (In Newport News) and Rich Port Coffee.Enjoy, Friends!

Such a cute spot located inside Selden Market. The attention to detail in the decor is impressive. French and pastels seemed to be the theme. They also have a little bit of seating inside and just slightly out of the entrance. The macarons tasted good. Not my absolute favorite, but pretty good. The size also seems to be bigger... no complaint. Or maybe my hands were smaller that day. The staff was so helpful. They were able to describe each flavor. I opted for the 757 deal they had going on in the month of November. I was able to get 6 macarons for $7.57. My husband also used his check in on Yelp to participate. So we were able to try all the flavors. The flay were kinda unique too. One was the chocolate covered strawberry. Overall a cute little place. Grab a bit to eat and head to get dessert from Cafe Genevieve.

I saw macaroons and had to stop. I didn't come for macaroons but i sure left with some. The lady behind the counter was very nice and answered all my questions. Its an adorable little restaurant with a French feel and decor... There are several flavors of macaroons, scones, puddings, cake, coffee and other things. They all looked delicious. I got a 6pk which was $15. I had pistachio, butter pecan, fruity pebbles, and vanilla bday... My mom had peach and lavender vanilla. They were all good the fruity pebbles was my fav. The butter pecan was my least fav. It had a weird after taste. I wasn't a fan at first, but once i refrigerated them i liked them better. My mom loved the peach one. It was very peachy... I'd try more flavors from there. The prices are reasonable and its a cute place!!! Check them out...

This place is so cute & a fun spot to chill in- like a little Paris (I imagine).I had a couple macarons during the summer. I enjoy this place, and I love it being inside Selden Market.

This is such a cool Café. The service was awesome,l with very pleasant and helpful staff. They have seating if you want to enjoy your macaroons and beverage right away. The decor definitely made me feel like I was at French Café - bon appetit!They have 4 macaroon flavors (pumpkin, chocolate, pistachio, and lavender vanilla) and a variety of coffees and teas. They also offer Pellegrino. I had the chai tea with oat milk, which was good. That pumpkin and pistachio have a flavor like none other! Try it out!!!

While walking through Selden Market to pick up complimentary treats from S'Mores Amore, my girlfriend and I walked to this new business that's new to the area. They serve homemade macarons along with cake, coffee and other treats. We both picked Lavender Vanilla (my girlfriend is a sucker for lavender) and Coffee macarons. I gotta say with each bite, you can definitely taste the flavor like they were described. Very tasty and as always, very airy. I definitely wanted more but with three bites for each, I can say we were pretty satisfied.Not bad for a first time considering I love going to small dessert spots. I can truly see this little place thriving after they just opened in Selden Market. The next time we stop by, we'll definitely head back for some more :)
