Really love MarieBette Cafe (both locations)! Everything I’ve had from there has been great - breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and coffees/teas/hot chocolates. Finally getting around to reviewing them after ordering a cake a couple of weeks ago. It 100% met my wishes! I asked for the lemon cake with pink or white peonies and white lily of the valley flowers (to represent May), and I was amazed when I saw the cake! It was spot on for what I wanted in looks and taste!
Great bakery. Many unique and delicious breads. The sourdough has an image of a historical person, nice touch to celebrate history. I would not recommend the tea, as it’s $3.25 for a large tea with only one bag of tea powder not actual tea leaves. Starbucks gives you actual tea leaves for delicious tea for $3. This is diluted tea flavored hot water, and one bag is not enough for the large tea to even remind you it’s supposed to be tea, haha on me! I threw it away. Spend your $ on juice if you’re not a coffee drinker.
Pastries are really good. Outside seating is limited, so if you can, avoid busy hours or at least have another place in mind to take your pastries. Coffee is okay for a bakery. Would happily go back
Wonderful local bakery with friendly employees and tasty treats. Each time we visit Charlottesville we get the pecan buns. We also tried the apple pie this trip, so good!
The 5 stars is for the pastries. The Pastries are delicious, the coffee is lackluster.
There are 2 locations, and this is the better one in my opinion. Definitely try their canalés, their palmiers, and their kouign amann if they have it. Their pastries change all the time so if you blink you might miss it.
Their canalés are delicious. Crispy on the outside and fluffy and creamy on the inside. I’ve never had one before but now I’m hooked and I can’t get enough. The Kouign amann tastes similar to an apple turnover, but it’s much richer, crispier, and has a crunchy buttery crust.
I got a mocha latte ($4.50) and it didn’t impress me, so I wouldn’t go back for that, but the pastries are good and worth stopping by for. It’s a pretty popular place but the service is usually pretty quick despite the line.
Lovely little bakery with delicious pastries as well as coffee! Stopped in for the first time today and had a wonderful brunch date!
Arrived seventh in line before opening. But it was totally worth it! Along with the warmth of the bake house the delicious smells slap you in the face when you step in, and everything looks delicious... so come hungry. Sticky buns, pan a chocolate, and other tasty items made their way onto my bill, but somehow didn't last the full drive home! Keep up the great work team at MarieBette!
