10/10. Coffee was Excellent. Pastries phenomenal. Seating a little tight, but pleasant and comfy with good, friendly, vibes. Would go back and go out of way to do so.

When I come to Charlottesville I always need to stop by MarieBette. Love this little cafe with its wonderful array of desserts. I must admit their canneles are my weakness. Their quiches are delicious. I always leave with baguette, croissants, and a few other viennoiseries. Being French I can’t resist:) The atmosphere is great and the people working there are always helpful and kind. A must visit.

I live in richmond but love to drive every few months to get a box of pastries. There is a little bit of a wait but it is so worth it. The pastries here are out of this world! The staff is always super helpful and friendly. The caneles are my absolute favorite. I wish they would open in richmond! Keep up the great work making these delicious treats!

The cupcakes are sooo good! Cake part is delicious and moist and the icing is to die for! Fresh and tasty with the perfect ratio of cupcake to icing!

Very charming french bakery styled cafe with plenty of drink and food options. Their atmosphere is very relaxing even during their busy hours, which is unexpected but pleasantly refreshing. Their staff are very kind and understanding and we were welcomed with smiles and cheery attitude even though it was hectic. I highly recommend anyone in the area come and try this location for good food and relaxing experiences.

Stopped for breakfast at this bakery because of the reviews and enjoyed everything we got! We arrived around 10 on a Friday. There are a few areas for outdoor seating and a small area inside for seating, as such, they were full and there was an hour wait for seating. We had time so we waited and it went much faster than expected. You order at the counter and get a number for your table. It is self-seating and no reservations. There's a separate nearby station which has silverware, condiments, and self-serve water. We ordered a London Fog, Latte, Almond Croissant, Parfait, Sharondale, and "Madame" (with an egg) Croquet Monsieur. Will definitely visit again if in Charlottesville! Pics via @nokesidefoodie

Everything from here is fantastic. I've visited many times. This time I tasted both my go-to everything bagel seasoned pastry pretzel and a seasonal king cake. The king cake had an almond that was so light and balanced and wasn't overly sweet. It was perfect. Highly recommend!

Such an adorable gem in the heart of Charlottesville! This place was heavily recommended by seemingly every UVA student / alum on earth, so I just had to make a pit stop when I drove through town on my way to a week-long hiking trip. I came by on a late Sunday morning just after 11 AM; their brunch service was in full swing so there wasn't a ton of open seating, and they had already run through most of their most popular selections. However, I managed to snag a gorgeous five-grain batard loaf for a week of sandwiches and, at the barista's recommendation, a peach financier to fuel me through the next leg of my road trip. The financier was delightful -- slightly crumbly, but also rich and buttery, with a wonderful peachy flavor. It was the perfect late afternoon pick-me-up and a great pair to my almond milk latte. The slightly tart peach was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of summer flavors, and it helped to balance out the sugar in the rest of the pastry. I didn't enjoy the batard loaf immediately, but it was the perfect hearty, flavorsome bread to build my sandwiches on throughout the week after long days of hiking and climbing. It had a slightly nutty bite from all the seeds, and it kept up surprisingly well throughout the week. I only really noticed it starting to get a smidge stale around day 3 -- if you aren't wandering around the wilderness, I'm sure freezing it would be a great way to preserve its day-one freshness. Beyond the delightful food, the servers / baristas were all super friendly! They offered a remarkably warm welcome, were super helpful in choosing the best pastries / sandwich loafs, and generally helped to craft a lovely atmosphere. I can't wait to stop by MarieBette again on my next road trip!
