Petite MarieBette

I probably couldn't rave enough about this place. The Honey and Salt latte was delicious, one of the better that I've had, which came with a petite canelé. The apple galette and hame and cheese croissant were light and flavorful, the atmosphere was amazing. Definitely visit here if in the area.

I had the tomotato quiche. It was soft but really missing salt and pepper and much needed snap that makes a great dish. It was fine.

One of my top spots to get breakfast and coffee in Charlottesville. I usually get a croissant with sausage, cheddar and egg along with a cappuccino. What's important to me in shop that sells coffee is consistency and their cappuccino is consistency good! The line gets long Saturday mornings due to its proximity to the City Market, so be aware that you may not find a seat inside. However, if you go weekday morning, I'm sure you'll find a table.

We had a great breakfast. the coffee was amazing and the service was fast.

Everything was amazing food wise. My experience inside the restaurant was a little disappointing. It was early and I had my 5 year old with me. We couldn’t find a table so I ordered to go. As I was waiting I noticed a young man staring at me. He didn’t have coffee or food, smelled, and looked to be homeless. Each time I looked over he was staring with an odd expression on his face like he was enjoying himself making me clearly uncomfortable. Part of me wanted to buy him a coffee but the other protective part told me there was something mentally wrong with him. I’m not sure why he was allowed to take up an entire table or how long he was there as we left asap but the experience was unsettling.

I love MarieBette’s baked goods and pastries, and all of their Hot Chocolate Month offerings have been amazing!

Perfect little European bakery and cafe. It's a very relaxing location near the Downtown Mall, they have wonderful pastries, make great coffee, and the employees are very friendly. Don't forget to also visit their amazing location on Rose Hill Dr.

This cafe has a great atmosphere :) I got the chocolate croissant and cortado with oat milk. My friend got the flourless chocolate cake and chai latte. We both loved what we ordered! The croissant had a great flakiness to it, and the coffee wasn’t too bitter or weak. The chai was comfort in a cup. :) if I didn’t live so far away I would come often!

Unfortunately, my experience yesterday was very disappointing. I ordered the North Garden sandwich to go. Wish I had taken a photo before I ate it.....in 3 about bites! The picture online looks like you can barely open your mouth wide enough to take the first bite. MY North Garden looked like a tiny, flat slider at best! I had made no modifications to the ingredients in the sandwich.
There was no aioli nor bleu cheese on the sandwich and the lettuce (a small 1/4 size torn piece of a romaine leaf) was translucent like it had been put on the sandwich while the portabella was still hot, so the lettuce had "melted" onto the mushroom and had no crunch. I work on the Downtown Mall and frequent Marie Bette often - never have I had such a sad looking dish! I would expect better for an almost $10 sandwich and will not order the North Garden again!

It has been amazing both times I've gone. The quality and consistency are top notch. The bread is perfectly crispy but not hard like most other places. The pastries are awesome and the staff is top tier. On top of all this you can actually get a cup of coffee that doesn't cost 8 dollars after tip. Definitely support these folks!
