One companion raved about her French onion soup and affogato for desert. Another companion enjoyed the thick French toast and fruit. Another raved about the Croque Monsieur-that it was the best he's ever had! It's a sandwich of ham, aged comté cheese, gruyère, and béchamel. We dined outside, which was lovely. The atmosphere was calm. Service was attentive and pleasant. Everyone commented that we'd go again to try other things. 9/2/26: I again enjoyed the same dish of salmon in buckwheat crepes. My companion loved the ice cream so much that she ordered two servings! This time, they must have been short-staffed, as we were there when workers were taking their meal break. I merely went inside to order, then ask the location of the bathroom (to the left of the restaurant and up the outdoor stairs), and then again to go inside to pay. This time, I noticed the lovely bouquets; see photos.

The place is clean, with plenty of seating both inside and outside, and there is a large selection of pastries, scones, breads, and grab-and-go items. My go-to has been the ham and cheese croissant, which was fresh both mornings. The coffee was also nice and hot, which I always appreciate. The staff is professional and efficient, though clearly busy, so do not expect a lot of chit-chat. I also picked up a box of Cheese Coins, which turned out to be dangerous because I loved them and ate the whole box. Good coffee, fresh pastries, easy seating, and enough tempting extras to make you buy more than you planned. I will probably stop by again tomorrow morning before leaving the area.

Came by on a Sunday around 11 for a quick bite and got the breakfast burrito. The burrito by itself…read morewas quite small, a bit bland, dry and overall just plain.

It took around half an hour for me and 4 of my friends to get our orders, which was frustrating because we were on the go. Definitely a very busy spot! The place is a grab-and-go establishment where you order at the cashier and grab your food once ready (or they'll bring it out to you if dining in). I loved the outdoor seating on a sunny day but all the tables were unfortunately taken when we were there. The inside also has a couple of seats and refreshing cucumber water was offered.

My latte was bitter, was given a dirty fork, and my crepe was like a pancake-- super thick and just was not the right consistency and texture for a crepe.

We stopped in right before closing as I'd been to their San Ramon location…read more Unfortunately while I enjoyed the candies, I got sticker shock when it turned out our three small bags of candy had an almost a $30 price tag. Yes they were delicious, but all the prices were blacked out on the bottom and after being run up the register suggested I leave an extremely high tip. I personally don't think telling customers they have one minute to buy something then telling other customers they can't come in because you're closed really warrants a 20%+ tip. The shop door could have simply been closed and the sign turned to let everyone finish browsing and let potential customers outside know you are closed in a polite and professional way, so this was our first and absolutely final visit to this location of Miette as we will not be coming back.

Authentic Croque Monsieur -- one of the best I've had in the States (just oversized!)…read more Stopped by Le Marais Bakery (Buvette du Marais) at Marin Country Mart in Larkspur for a sunny outdoor lunch. Ordered the Croque Monsieur with side salad and a Maison Perrier sparkling water. This is a proper French-style Croque Monsieur executed beautifully. House-made pain de mie toasted to golden perfection with crisp edges, quality ham, plenty of melted aged Comté and Gruyère, and a light touch of béchamel that binds everything without any heavy, saucy overload (I didn't even spot a thick layer in the cross-section, but the rich, nutty flavor came through perfectly). It arrived piping hot, which made all the difference -- gooey cheese and satisfying crunch throughout. Flavor-wise, it tasted more authentic than most versions I've tried elsewhere in the U.S.: balanced, comforting, and not greasy at all. The simple mixed greens salad on the side kept it fresh and prevented it from feeling too rich. Paired with the crisp sparkling water, it was an ideal light-but-satisfying lunch. The only non-authentic thing? The size -- I've never seen a Croque Monsieur this large! It's generous (in true California fashion), but everything held up well without getting soggy or overwhelming. The outdoor setting is pleasant -- brick pavement, dappled sunlight, relaxed vibe. Their bread and pastries clearly shine here, and this savory dish holds its own. Highly recommend if you're craving a genuine French bistro classic in Marin. I'll definitely be back -- probably for one of their famous croissants or a crêpe next time.

The good: The moules were excellent - tasty and in a well-flavored milky broth. My wife's branzino…read morewas very good - nicely cooked with crispy skin. The bad: A real galette is paper-thin and most of it is crispy. The Deux Saumones galette was thick enough to be spongy and it was only une saumone. The menu said "wild & smoked" salmon but it only had smoked, and a monochrome flavor. The only authentic French part was the waiter's attitude when I asked. He just said there was only smoked today, and of course no apology, let alone a warning when I ordered. The chocolate crepe likewise had no pretense of crispness, and the valrhona chocolate was wasted on it. It was excellent chocolate too, as we discovered only when we scraped it off and ate it separately. But on the crepe we couldn't tell.
