I went here with a group of friends for a much needed get-together. We had been catching up both…read morevirtually and over the phone but it had been a while since we saw each other in person. We were able to use the back room in the cafe that had a large table and provided a cozy setting with lots of natural light coming through the windows and cute macaroon-shaped pillows on the chairs. We had hibiscus tea and peach tea for the table to share. The peach tea was everyone's favorite, it didn't even need any added sugar. It was served in cute pastel teapots, though one of the teapots had a chip at the spout which made me a little nervous. We also had macaroons made in-house for the table. I can't remember if I asked the staff if any of the macaroons were dairy free, but I asked my friends at the table and was told there was dairy in them. I later asked the staff if there was any food they offered that was dairy-free and they showed me their pastry counter but ultimately determined that everything offered had dairy, so all I had while at the café was the tea. The ladies I was with loved the macaroons. I wish I could have had some. I recommend at least 1-2 food options be added in the café for folks who have a dairy allergy. Café Genevieve provides a nice atmosphere for tea with a unique setting -- in a 1734 house that is decked out with Parisian decor. It's not the most private setting -- it got pretty noisy during our time there and there were a few interruptions to our conversation. We should have asked if we could have closed the door, because that definitely would have helped with noise and privacy. Overall, the customer service was great and the tea was really good! If you want to meet here for a private event, conversation, or just want some peace and quiet, that back room with the door closed could provide it. It's a nice café to check out.

It's a pretty small bakery but definitely overflowing with breads and desserts.

Hidden Gem for Sweet Tooths & Pup Parents!…read more We visited House of Marmalade as part of the Hampton Roads Passport Series, and I am so glad we did -- I don't think I would've discovered this little gem otherwise! The shop is small and cozy with no indoor seating, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm and incredible sweets. The bakery case was absolutely stunning -- full of beautifully made cookies, macarons, and more. We tried three macarons (espresso, almond, and salted caramel), and every single one was perfection -- fresh, flavorful, and just the right size and sweetness. We also grabbed a shortbread cookie, which was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And let's not forget our pup! Lexi got a pumpkin cupcake with peanut butter icing, topped with a tiny bone-shaped treat -- not only adorable, but she devoured it. Definitely pup-approved! The staff was fantastic -- super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You can tell they care about their craft and their customers. Whether you're doing the Passport Tour or just looking for a place to grab something sweet, House of Marmalade is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back!

The owner was always there when I stopped by and was always very sweet to me and always recommended something amazing for a quick lunch break! Fast forward today : (about 4 years since I've been in) I was planning on taking my 5 yr old daughter on an afternoon tea date and another cute little tea house I found only to find out that they were closed for a private event. My daughter was obviously disappointed and I felt pretty terrible for not making a reservation. Panicking to come up with a solution for my disappointed little one I remembered that my favorite little macaron place served tea! I called and asked if there was anyway we could do a last minute high tea. The man on the phone (who turned out to be the owners husband) explained to me they usually ask for the high teas to be reserved ahead of time to ensure the items are prepared fresh for the tea. However, he did tell me to come on in and there were other pastries and macarons readily available! I told him that was perfectly fine and we were on our way. *sigh of relief* We get there and my daughter was overjoyed to see all of the goodies! He promptly offered us a selection of teas and prepared it for us. I asked if there was a set menu for the food, he explained to me since they weren't prepared for us they didn't have the lunch items usually served with the tea ready and that we were more than welcome to make selections from the counter and he would serve us. My daughter was very excited to make her selections from the counter. I asked for a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and he happily prepared one for us! Long story short I just wanted to say thank you so much to the owner's husband for saving our tea date! He was beyond accommodating and sweet. And yes the food is still amazing!

Unfortunately, the taste didn't match the presentation for me. The pastries didn't seem very fresh, the crust was overly thick, and the texture was a bit off. I also tried the pot pie, which wasn't enjoyable -- the onion smell was overpowering and took away from the flavor. This may just be my personal experience and my own palette, but I was disappointed given how promising everything looked.

For lunch, they have good sandwiches, but they're generally made ready to go, so you can't customize them. That doesn't bother me at all but something you should know.

It was a long wait in line. Towards the end of their limited hours, I was pleased that they still had a pretty good selection. They sold out of some things, but I found a robust selection of pastries and a loaf of bread as well, albeit one too big for their slices. With macarons and chocolate on sale as well, they had a lot worth coming for. The cake slices were as rich and smooth as one hopes for a French bakery, but several other pastries met with aplomb as well. I struggled to locate a high-end bakery in this geographic area, but did not regret having come to this one at all.
