    Croque Madame
    Jess B.

    Came here specifically to try the grand croissant, but was told it has to be ordered three days in advance, which was pretty disappointing. We decided to stay and make the most of it, so I ordered the croque madame. The setup is casual. We seated ourselves and ordered at the counter. The server was nice, but the food did take a bit of time to come out. Overall, it was just okay for the price and nothing particularly memorable. That said, the interior is beautifully decorated. The location is convenient too, since it's in a plaza with other shops and restaurants nearby. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but a bit underwhelming. Probably wouldn't go back.

    Turkey Club with frites

    I have seen this restaurant as I've dined at others at the Marin Country Mart. For whatever reason, I've never taken the time to stop in Buvette. I do enjoy crêpes and croissants - so recently I stopped by for lunch. The atmosphere is pleasant inside, you order at the counter and are provided a number - they bring the food to your table. There is some counter seating available, some tables and comfortable chairs, with an additional option of outdoor patio seating as well. Wine by the glass and bottle is available, I chose Cremant Brüt Rosé. I ordered a turkey club sandwich, which came with frites. I felt like the wait for my food was a little longer than I would have expected for not being very busy at the time I visited. But, I was not in a hurry. Service was competent, not overly delightful, perhaps lacking a tiny bit of warmth. I definitely would have liked to have felt a little more welcome. My fries were just as I liked them, and the sandwich was made with what seemed like quality ingredients. I would have enjoyed a little bit more flavor, but all in all I would order this again. I didn't feel like the prices were out of line. I spent about $38 for my lunch, including the sandwich, the wine and even a tip with tax. I have read some of the reviews, and although I am not going to give five stars, this place more than earns four. I will be returning and have added this restaurant to my lunchtime repertoire when I work. I would like to try the crêpes next time as well as maybe pastries.

    Except for the occasional scenic hike, you don't find me in Marin County much. Nothing personal. Just not my jam, at least in recent years. An exception was when Jamie W and I met up with longtime friends who live in Mill Valley for a much rescheduled holiday brunch. They recommended this spot in Larkspur Landing, and it was fairly crowded once we all arrived. It's an extension of Le Marais Bakery, which has two locations in San Francisco, both of which I've tried. I have to admit I was lukewarm about both places, and this spot didn't change my mind. There were five of us, so we had to wait a while for the counter to open up since they didn't accept reservations. When we secured our seats, we then had to take turns getting up to order our meals at the register. Jamie tried the $21 Soft Scrambled Eggs, which were mixed with chunks of smoked trout and chopped dill, and accompanied by mixed greens (Photo 9). He pronounced it "decent", and from the morsel I had, I agreed. I ordered the $17 Omelette Florentine made with spinach, crimini mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese. It came with the same mixed greens (Photo 8). I thought it was marginally better than the scrambled eggs but not outstanding. The $5 Cafe au Lait provided some relief since the weather was quite chilly outside (Photo 10). So was the service. Take me back to the real Le Marais in Paris. FOOD - 3 stars...middling for French country fare AMBIANCE - 3 stars...looks like a Le Marais Bakery SERVICE - 2.5 stars..clipped TOTAL - 3 stars...not full of warm memories here RELATED - Exploring north of San Francisco?

    Chicken Cobb Salad is very good here at Buvette.
    Tracey A.

    There was a time when I half jokingly said that Marin County specialized in ethnic restaurants from developed nations. Specifically, France and Italy. Then some of the French places closed and I stopped repeating the gag but with the arrival, first, of Mill Valley's Le Marais Bakery, and now their sister outpost, Buvette, I might add it back to my repertoire. Though the space seems smaller than sister spot, Le Marais, the Larkspur Landing (aka Marin Country Mart) location expands on the offerings. Here, the full menu includes the Breton crepes that are also sold at their SF Ferry Building location. I skipped both the baked goods and the crepes, opting instead for a Chicken Cobb Salad that was rife with fresh and tasty ingredients. It was a satisfying lunch offering enjoyed in the charming French bistro setting that Buvette's founders seem to have mastered. Souvla, with it's perpetual long line, is at the other end of this outdoor, upscale shopping center, about as far from Buvette as one can get here. As much as I've always enjoyed Souvla's salads I'm happy to report: Buvette's are equally good.

    Nice spot for a cup of fancy Joe and pastry.

    May 18. 2025 3.5 Stars Stopped by on a Sunday. They close at 3PM so if you're visiting from out of town, please don't dilly-dally getting there. One time my wife tried to buy a to-go croissant at 3PM. The place had open doors and diners yet she was figuratively thrown out on her ear. "WE'RE CLOSED!". Four stars for the taste of the food. We shared a Banana Flambe with chocolate sauce and a Forestiere which is a savory shitaki mushroom and grilled onion dark thin pancake delight. We also had a tiny bottled cola and a regular cup of coffee. We took a croissant home. These with tip- $50. 3 stars for the experience. You order and pay at the counter. Then take a number and the food is brought out to you. We sat outside. When the food was brought out with one fork for two diners at the table, any wait person worth their salt would ask if another fork was needed. Didn't happen. I got terribly thirsty and wondered why everyone has a water caraffe at their table but us. Oh. Water is self service. Go back inside the cafe. This place is Dog Fiendly. This means Out Of Luck if you don't want to eat with fur baby dander dogs. Only God and their owners know what is on their paws and mouth and the last time they were washed. The owner of a large lab graciously apologized when her hound brushed up against my bare leg. Five minutes later I see a waitress is bent to the ground to fondle someone's lap dog. Dirty. So happy my wife with cynophobia didn't see and experience this. We would never be able to come back. Someone with a small broom should walk around to clean up napkins, sugar packets and bits of trash and stirring sticks left around tables. Another napkins flys to the breeze swep floor. Nice enough place but didn't quite live up to the $$ this time..

    Buvette du Marais is such a cute neighborhood find! They have a location in Mill Valley so I wanted to try this location at the Marin Country Mart. We went on a cold rainy day and it was so cute and cozy inside. Food was excellent!! I got an omelette which was delicious and had a side salad. My partner got a croque madame, which was honestly to die for. It was rich, flavorful, and a perfect texture. I'll be dreaming of it for a while. We tried a pain au chocolate which also did not disappoint. You order when you walk in and seat yourself- so if you're looking for full service, this isn't it. It is a more casual bistro vibe. I only gave 4 stars out of 5 because I wish there was more seating inside. We'll be back soon!

    Pretty new French bakery at Lakspur. We came here for the giant croissant. It was busy when we arrived. You order at the cashier and get number. The place is notvthat large. It has indoor and outdoor seating. We order latte, mocha, cappuccino, the big croissant, almond chocolate croissant, ceuf broullies and jambon come. The big croissant is interesting and good but not all fluffy. I wish itvis like regular croissant. The crepe is ok. The ceuf brouilles is yummy. My latte is abit bitter but ok. Overall it is nice visit. .

    Spicy Crab Benedict
    Jennifer E.

    We have been looking forward to trying this place as they have a gigantic croissant. So when we finally got a date down, we immediately visited Buvette with my brunch girls. There were not so many options of croissants/pastries left and to our disappointment the giant croissant is already out of stock (we went at around 11:45am). My good friend recommended the spicy crab Benedicts so I did because I love crab! And i got a chocolate croissant and chai latte. The crab Benedict was amazing! Its on a bed of croissant and not English muffins. Its not as spicy as it claims to be which is great for me bec I can't handle super spicy! Its light and airy and it doesn't make you feel bloated after eating it. The latte is smooth and silky and the pastry is amazing! A bit crumby but a good mess! The place is so nice and well decorated. Pretty wallpaper, love the color of the mugs and the pastry boxes. Downside, they don't accept reservations but plenty of seats outdoors and inside. We ended up eating at the bar which is not bad! The service is great! The lady in the counter is so friendly and cheerful! They recognized my friend who visited a few weeks ago and to me that is amazing! The other lady also noticed that my other friend has a birthday present and asked if we are celebrating a birthday. We said yes and she gave our friend a pastry on the house! Also, everyone in the counter spoke french! So cool! The line can get very long and not much space to line up so plan ahead! Ended up buying a chocolate chip cookie and raisin pastry to bring home and they were both delicious. My husband commented on the cookie and said "if anything, i'd say its perfect!" Will definitely recommend!

    I'm a big fan of Le Marais and was so excited to see this open! My friend and I went on a Saturday and it was very busy. The indoor area is cute but very small, so most seating is outside. The staff seemed to struggle, maybe because it is so new, but the manager was very sweet and helpful when we needed her. Our sweet crepe was soft and yummy, but we thought the savory crepe was dry and lacking flavor. I plan to return to try more sweet crepes and pastries!

    We stumbled upon this French bakery on a Sunday morning. There weren't many breakfast options in the area and we chose this spot based on the possibility of gluten-free options. I found the man working at the register to be slightly curt. Not much warmth, curiosity, or patience. Like maybe I was inconveniencing him in some way. I survived, don't worry. We tried one of the gluten-free buckwheat crepes and an omelette. We added meat to everything because, protein. I enjoyed both plates and my decaf latte (and my liver was excited to see the arugula, iykyk) and I probably wouldn't go back unless it was just for a warm bevy.

    Croissant. Savory Pain Swiss. Omelette with pesto and vegetable. And side salad.
    Lianni C.

    A French style cafe that delivers true FRENCH eats!? SAY LESS! They also have a GIANT CROISSANT. And a variety of delicious fresh made pastries that not only taste delicious but look gorgeous! The brunch offerings are awesome. I have yet to go for dinner but I was impressed with the omelet and salad that I had. The only complaint I had is about the salad dressing - it was heavy on the mustard flavor. Definitely a flavor explosion but the bite and mustard flavor was a little strong for me. That will not keep me away though! The ambiance feels so Parisian Cafe! I love it! So glad that this place opened and I look forward to visiting more!

    Chocolate cream things, cherry tomatoes  crepe, berry scone, blueberry  & lemon  crepe-baton at the lower edge

    Trying this other location because I love le Marais in mill valley and my daughter wanted to try this location which has crêpes in the Larkspur Landing mall and over where Tutu school used to be (or Busy Little Hands for you long ago folks) So there's plenty of parking. It's a spacious interior but not so much for seating and exterior yes- lots of little tables. I suppose it's mainly outdoor seating but if it's nice weather to be sitting in some shade.. Typical LeMarais with ridiculously delicious looking baked goods that will be difficult to choose just one -this visit. I had to choose three different things. I had the Kougiaman baton, 5/5 a chocolate and cream, sort of flaky -not flaky croissant 2/5, and then the berry scone, 5/5 which was probably my favorite. ~it was very good. My daughter ended up getting two crêpes one sweet, one savory a blueberry lemon, which she loved and a Cherry tomato with mozzarella and basil. She commented that their crêpes are a bit more like pancakes than traditional crêpes for those who might care about that detail. They did not have cold brew, which is necessary for me, but other than that, I will definitely return again to have something like an omelette which I know is always so good by them. The setting is walk up order and get a number and sit and a server will bring you your items that need to be cooked.

The Castro location is beautiful with its clean, ocean-blue French decor and relaxing, cozy vibe. It is always busy on the weekend, but the quality makes it worth the wait.

As I waited inside I admired their beautiful decor (especially that green wall!), and peeped all the equally-beautiful pastries on display. Oh la la! It took all my post-Thanksgiving self-control to resist a sweet treat (next time!). I satisfied my craving with a hot latte. I ordered and paid at the counter/register and was greeted with a lovely French accent. I assumed that my order would take awhile given the bustling crowd inside and outside. But it was ready within minutes - a hot, smooth latte hit the spot and powered me for the remaining drive north. Le Marais is easy to find at the far end of the Marin Country Mart - abundant parking is all around. Before I got back in the car, I took a quick walk through the shopping center. A must-stop if you're in the area, whether you need to shop, to eat, or to simply grab a drink. So charming and can't wait to return!
