MarieBette Café and Bakery

This bakery is great! We got drinks and sandwiches. The vegetarian sandwich selection isn’t super diverse, unfortunately. They were very accommodating when I asked for turkey instead of ham on my sandwich. The coffee was also great! I didn’t purchase any pastries but they all looked delicious.

I can only speak for the bakery items, but this is truly the best bakery in town. Variety of items, all DELICIOUS. The quiche was amazing, even cold. Highly recommend, but expect to wait in line on weekends.

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!

First, I’ve never seen pastries as tasty as they are beautiful!
The sourdough bread was the best I’ve ever had in texture and taste.
The Jorgensen salmon sandwich was devoured within minutes in the car. It was so incredibly fresh, crunchy and light. No capers were necessary and would have overwhelmed the delicate and subtle flavors here.
We bought a chocolate almond croissant, a quiche and a ham, egg snd cheese sandwich. Each was better than the next.
The coffee was so balanced and not bitter.
This is excellence in action. I can’t wait to go back.

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.

Needed to grab some coffee while road tripping and tried MarieBette. When we came there was a bit of a line so it seems popular. They have a variety of baked goods and pastries available, and a smaller coffee menu. I did wish they had more drink options, but I got their iced mocha. I also tried their sticky pecan roll which luckily just got restocked and seemed to be fresh from the oven. It was really good! There's limited seating, so it seems like more of a grab n go style place. Staff is very friendly and there's some street parking outside.

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

So good! All of the pastries were good. My favorite was the pretzel croissant. I would definitely eat here again!

Love all the pastry offering found around town. Pecan sticky buns to die for.
But this was our first time visiting a MarieBette location. The $11 Croque Madame was weak. Bummed about the location itself, but will continue to buy pastries around town.

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!
