Finally stopped in after walking by this place so many times on our way to other restaurants in the area, and I'm glad we did! It has that old-building charm with decorative ceiling moldings, a few larger communal tables, a window bar, and a handful of small bistro tables outside. They also have a great pastry selection, breakfast and lunch menus, coffee, grab-and-go drinks, plus beer and wine. We usually street park in this area and have never had much trouble finding a spot. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're eating there, they give you a number to bring to your table. We managed to snag the last outdoor table for two. I ordered the classic breakfast sandwich and my partner got an iced chai. The chai easily made our top three, and the sandwich was just the right size on a light, flaky croissant without feeling overly heavy. Such a nice spot for a simple breakfast or light lunch. Afterward, we took about a 15-minute walk through the neighborhood to the park along the river, which made for a perfect little morning. Definitely recommend, and we'll be back! read more

I've been hear probably a dozen times for bread (the loaves are wonderful). Yesterday I went for lunch and dined in, and I enjoyed the caprese salad and seasonal soup (carrot ginger sweet potato). The ambiance is cute, as they're clearly trying to go for a Parisian cafe vibe. There aren't a ton of seats inside, but they have outdoor seating as well for any overflow. I haven't been as impressed with their pastries (especially the donuts which seemed on par with what I could get elsewhere for 1/3 the price), but I recommend their loaves. read more

I'm in town visiting and found this adorable cafe to work from tucked in a quiet neighborhood. The pastries are incredible and I loved the toasted california sandwich I ordered. My cappuccino came with a cute little foam bear on top and the entire staff has been so kind. A must visit if you're nearby :) read more

I had a really good chai tea latte with oat milk along with a ham and cheese croissant. The croissant actually reminded me of one I had in Florence, Italy, and I've been on the hunt for something comparable here in Minnesota, so that was a pleasant surprise. The staff were very nice and I really enjoyed chatting with them. They all seemed like they genuinely loved working there, which always makes the experience even better. It was pretty busy when we went on a Saturday morning around 10:00 am, so seating was a bit limited, but that's to be expected for a popular spot. Overall, the vibe was modern and fun, and I will definitely be back. read more

This is such a cute cafe in NE! They have some really fun drink options. I tried their orange juice matcha as I have never seen that combination before, and it was really good. The color was very vibrant green but the orange juice flavor took over so much I could hardly taste the matcha. It would be perfect for people trying to get into matcha who aren't sold on the flavor yet. I also had the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich, which was good but super greasy and kind of pricy for the size. I did appreciate the berries that came on the side. Overall it's a nice place to catch up with friends and I liked both the inside and outside seating areas. We ate on the patio and it was really peaceful as it's not by any busy streets. read more

Café Marguerite - Breakfast sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Stopped by Cafe Marguerite for breakfast and was really impressed. I ordered a coffee and the croissant sandwich, which came with a side of fresh berries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The croissant was flaky, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the berries were a nice touch that tied everything together. The cafe has a cozy atmosphere, but it can get pretty busy and seating is somewhat limited, so you may have to wait a bit during peak hours. Even with that, the food and coffee were well worth it, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Now that I am retired, I was able to make some time to actually eat something on the premises. I even thought I might do the patio, but we have had our first frost , so I picked a spot by the big window. The house across the street still had living wildflowers, so that was nice to look at. My order arrived very quickly. It was the quiche I was curious to try, but the salad was a standout with baby greens and colorful additions. The quiche had a silky texture for the filling, and the crust was not soggy- I have made enough quiches myself to know that takes some attention to detail! read more

Great cafe located in the heart of NE Minneapolis in the Arts District. It's not every day that you can find a freshly made (flaky, wonderfully buttery) croissant or other pastries in coffee shops surrounding the area. These were amazing! I got the classic ham and cheese croissant egg sandwich, which came with fresh fruit. The food was delicious and the cafe was buzzing with activity but not overly crowded (easy to find a seat); people were happy to stick around and chat for a while. Very welcoming and clearly a favorite neighborhood joint for the area. Looking forward to returning to try some of the lunch offerings! read more

The food is still delicious and the service is fine. What's disappointing is the jump in cost for breakfast sandwiches and the removal of the a la carte option. Picking up a breakfast sandwich to go used to be a little expensive at $9, but now it's $17 before tax ($18.53 after tax) because the side salad or berries are no longer optional. This option has also increased from $14.50 before tax. The economic challenges are real right now, but it seems that these changes make Café Marguerite less accessible. read more

Best Croissants in Minnesota! Really tasty sandwiches, the breakfast sandwich on a croissant is my favorite. Great pastries too, their blueberry danish was amazing. My go-to drink has been the iced Vanilla Lavender Latte with oat milk. The staff is so friendly, personable, and welcoming. Best hidden gem of the Northeast. Do not sleep on this place! read more

I had such a great experience at this café! The pastries were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care--the croissant was perfectly flaky, and the sweetness of the desserts wasn't overwhelming, just right. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. What stood out just as much as the food was the customer service. The staff were warm, patient, and genuinely welcoming, creating a comfortable atmosphere from the moment I walked in. They were happy to answer questions and even gave helpful recommendations. Overall, this café is a perfect spot if you're looking for delicious pastries and kind, attentive service. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Overall: Been here twice, both times thought "I would definitely come back!" Food + Drink: My husband got a mocha and I have gotten 2 different iced lattes when coming in. I've enjoyed both! I think they use Dogwood coffee, so I'm not sure if it's a reflection of La Boulangerie or the coffee they use. Either way, yum! We've also enjoyed their chocolate croissants. Is it the best ever? No. Is it top 5 what we've had locally? I think so!! Busyness: So inconsistent. Came in around 9a on a Saturday, stood in line, but tables open - a lot of people get pasties to go. A few minutes pass...a rush of people: almost on a schedule, ha! Vibe: Cute for a meet up, a work from home, to bring a game, or a date. Just lots of people in and out. Service: This was probably my biggest peeve... They just seemed...scatter brained. I saw several staff take orders to wrong tables, one worker spilled my drink because she dropped it so hard on my table, and we got our pastries heated up and our drinks for "here" and he put them in a to go bag ???? Just felt like they could have been a little more considerate of their customers who paid $25 for 2 drinks and 2 croissants. Anyways, it's close to where we live and a nice treat. Just not my favorite experience. read more

Nice to have a patisserie on this side of town. I've visited twice in one week. First visit 8am on Monday, not very busy. Second, Mid- morning on a Friday very busy. Thankfully the line moves along well. Here's what I've tried. Chai latte... tasty not overly sweetened, and light on the spices. Ham and Cheese Croissant... flaky, buttery and can be heated upon request. Friand au Boef... can also be heated. Contains ground beef, carmalized onions and mushrooms (at least it tastes like it). Lemon poppy seed scone... light on the lemon flavor, and not too sweet. It's very crumbly so probably best eaten with a fork. Overall, great place to grab a bite, a drink, meet with friends, have a date, or get some work done. read more

I had high hopes for this beautiful french-style bakery with its lovely interior decor and pastry options. Sadly, the pastry and drink we tried were both very underwhelming. The danish lacked all the light, airy, flakiness I'd expect and instead was incredibly dense. The chaider tasted like a basic cider that was barely warmed up - the drink arrived at our table lukewarm although the mug it was in was quite hot. It was an incredibly busy Sunday morning when I visited, so perhaps that contributed to the experience. Service was curt - not a dealbreaker for me. Street parking was easy enough to find! Overall, I can't say I'd recommend going out of your way to visit, but it might be fine if you're in the area. read more

I was waiting for the Anchor to open and thought I'd grab dessert for later. I'm very familiar with their original bakery in my outer hood. I picked up a brownie in front for Basil which he loved. I settled for the apple danish which was one of the best ever. Filling in every bite and huge. At the last minute I spotted a 4 pack of hot cross buns which I have to get every lent. They were good as well with a generous amount of frosting on top. Such a handy place. Many have come and gone here and I hope they're here to stay. read more

To have a bakery in the Northeast neighborhood is pretty great! Usually on weekend mornings it can be packed, so my suggestion would be taking the pastry to go. The manager was very courteous and would personally participate in bringing food to guests, and was proactive in checking in about the food as well. Overall I thought the savory dishes were as good as I would expect from a bakery. It was not exuberant but was sufficient in making me enjoy a good experience. As for the viennoiseries, they were very good! Whether one orders a chocolate croissant, a sticky bun-caramel nut, a cinnamon chocolate croissant twist, or a Marguerite danish, they were all hits. I enjoyed their pastry everytime I visited. I wouldn't call them outstanding, but they were satisfying for the local population and definitely worth revisiting! read more

I went on their opening weekend and was super impressed by how well they were first handling their line out the door but second the quality of the pastries and also the quality of the coffee. Understandably they were working out some kinks and were out of oat milk but I had a great almond milk latte and apple danish. Will be back! read more

When a vegetarian quiche takes on a "scrambled" egg appearance inside the crust, it is typically the result of overcooking or an incorrect egg-to-dairy ratio. A proper quiche should have a smooth, silky custard texture rather than the chunky, porous look of scrambled eggs.The center should have a slight, gelatin-like jiggle. Quiche with a "scrambled" texture in a crust is essentially a rustic, chunky, or slightly overcooked custard-based quiche. This DEFINITELY was not the vegetarian quiche I've ordered in the past!!!!!! read more

Finally an amazing French bakery in Northeast Minneapolis! Welcome to the neighborhood, Marguerite! I visited today for their "soft open" launch and was blown away by the variety of pastries, fresh breakfast/lunch, and drinks. They also have a cooler of to go items like soups and salads which is great for a quick work lunch. The inside gave me some great "Paris cafe" vibes with the tiled floors and the mural of Paris on the wall. I got a vanilla donut and a blueberry muffin and both were fantastic. The muffin was super crumbly and the donut was sweet and fresh. We also ordered a cinnamon roll which unfortunately was forgotten from our bag. We had to go back and get it- not a big deal since we live in the neighborhood and it was their first day open. My boyfriend loved the cinnamon roll and said it was "a 5 star roll." I want to come back and try the chocolate croissants- they were sold out of them for the day already! We will definitely be coming back in the morning time to try them. read more

I got the chai latte with almond milk and it was pretty good - not too sweet. I also grabbed an almond croissant (my favorite) which had a bit of sweetness in the middle and I couldn't tell what it was, a cinnamon morning bun which had the most lovely texture and chocolate cake donut which was okay. There's plenty of parking space around and there's plenty of seating options inside - I did grab and go. The staff at the front both didn't say much to anybody as there were plenty of people around and ahead of me when I arrived: no gestures, no 'hellos', but I assumed they had other things on their minds. Overall, I do like the place. read more

Met an old coworker here for breakfast on day 2 of opening and you'd never know this was new -- everything was seamless and it was buzzing with people! I found parking right out front on the street. I ordered an americano, avocado toast, and açaí bowl. The avocado toast was definitely my favorite -- it's not open faced, it's more like a sandwich and it had a bit of kick to it -- which I loved! read more

I've visited Marguerite's twice now, once in the mid-afternoon and again this morning and have been happy with both experiences. The space is beautiful and a nice refresh to the existing Maeve's building. French music is playing, the back drop is black white and gold and feels warm and cozy without being over cluttered. I love the Paris mural on the back wall too. You order at the counter and they have your typical espresso offerings and a large assortment of delicious French pastries. Their additional food menu is pretty limited currently with 6 options for breakfast and 6 for lunch. I haven't tried more than the almond croissant which is perfect but I do wish they'd warm it for a few seconds in a toaster oven to really make it decadent. My only other suggestion to offer outside of warming the pastries would be adding a decaf coffee option as they don't have their regular coffee nor espresso in decaf. read more

NE Mpls corner neighborhood bakery vibe but did not wow in their offerings. While ambiance was very French bistro chic, the food/pastries were just fine. Came in later in the day so pastry options were limited. Ordered the soup of the day with half baguette and 12oz latte all for $16. The tomato basil soup fine but had large chunks of tomatoes and small portion. The baguette was a huge disappointment like eating a large supermarket bread. The latte was flavorless. Street parking and outdoor patio available. read more

Great neighborhood gem!!! It's so nice to grab a crusty loaf of bread or invite a newcomer to NE Mpls for a fantastic coffee and pastry!

Stopped in on a rainy Friday to get some pastries to go. The interior was so cute! I can't wait to come back and eat in. I was delighted to see the variety of baked goods! The gentleman at the counter was very kind and gave me great recommendations. I left with a chocolate croissant, ham and cheese croissant, and a baguette. The croissants were delicious, buttery and perfect! I wish they had baguettes that were crunchy and flaky, but the flavor was great and you can't beat fresh bread! read more

What isn't there to say about La Boulangerie Marguerite? A new, quaint bakery in NE that recently opened. Excellent coffee but even better pastries.

Wonderful selection of food. Quiche was excellent. Soup of day was awesome. Enjoyed the caprese panini as well.

Well, this was a huge disappointment. Their baked goods are tasty but the staff is downright rude. Walked in and the people at the counter didn't even acknowledge our existence, for a moment I thought maybe I had died and my soul wanted baked goods before crossing over. The person at the front looked bothered when I asked if I could order. When I ordered there was little conversation at all, I asked what was popular or recommended and she looked at me like I was a monster, aghast that I was bothering her. Regardless I pressed on, made my purchase and then....the hilarity, the audacity to point at the tip option. Not even say thank you or have a good day. Dudette if you want a tip, put in work. read more
