Best bread available anywhere around Princeton NJ. Some of the nicest people you can find are owners of this business. I highly recommend Mamie Colette. read more

Mamie Colette is an incredible bakery. I haven't taken photos during my visits because I eat the pastries too fast! The Pain au Chocolate & croissants are outstanding! As close to the ones you'll have in France as you can find in the states. The sourdough bread is also very good. It's a must when you're in the mood for a pastry! read more

I visited Mamie Colette right as they unlocked the doors at 6:30AM on a Wednesday (the door said closed Mondays and Tuesdays) and was greeted with the wonderful aroma of baked goods and bright smiles from the staff. I asked what I was in for and was immediately schooled on all of the offerings by the owner..... she described every item with great detail, pride and passion. I ended up buying some items for my wife's work and something for myself. The prices seemed high, but believe me you're getting what you pay for. I ended up with two Croissants - Buttery, flaky French-style croissant, one Pain au Chocolat - Our classic croissant filled with two bittersweet chocolate batons, one Nutella croissant - Our classic croissant filled with delicious Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread, one Fruit Jam croissant - our classic croissant filled with delicious fruit jam and a Almond Chocolate croissant - Our classic almond croissant filled with two bittersweet chocolate batons. For myself, I took another customers advice and went with a savory Ham and cheese croissant - our classic croissant filled with bechamel (creamy white sauce), ham and cheese. The shiny sheen of buttery baked goodness was the first thing you'll notice before you taste that flaky brown crust. Every bite was a clean crisp break and boy did all the flavors of ham and cheese combine to make a fantastic breakfast. My bill was $40 combined for all seven items. (I believe the ham and cheese croissant itself was about $6 and change) The croissants my wife brought to work were a hit. One of the her co-workers lived in France for several years and was complaining she couldn't find a comparable croissant on this side of the pond. She was beyond impressed and commented they are better than most she remembered. Mission accomplished, she'll be paying her first visit and I'll be returning to try some sweet options next time! Small location, but a mighty and beautiful product made with love at Mamie Colette! read more

I was giving my friend from out of town a little tour of Newtown and no tour would be complete without visiting your amazing bakery. The aroma of the shop from the moment I walk in always delights me. I live the smell of the freshly baked treats you make! I tried the ham and cheese croissant OMG! I had no idea they came out warm and the cheese was sooo good. It really hit the spot with our tour. We also picked up chocolate croissants which we had this morning warmed in the oven and they are so crisp and buttery. I love these yummy tarts you've been making! They're so delicious! Thank you for all you do! read more

Mamie Colette - Smells as good as it looks! The bite was crisp, buttery yummy! - Bakeries Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

I came in with a gift card that had been given to me as a gift and was told I couldn't use it at this location. The cashier couldn't have been more apologetic and even said we ran out of our gift cards at one point and stated using the other locations for a time. My gift card even had the required stamp but the owner came out and told me I couldn't use it. It doesn't make sense because the person who bought the gift card for me lives in Newtown and she and I have been to this bakery together- neither one of us has even been to the Titusville location- therefore she did not buy it from there. I'm shocked how rudely I was treated. I bought the pastries anyway and honestly the croissants were good but everything else was pretty meh. read more

My husband goes almost every Saturday morning. There are so many good options. I have to be very careful what I eat and I am able to eat so many of these options. Thanks for all your help. read more

Mamie Colette is such a great bakery! The employees are friendly and give great customer service! Now let us talk about the food. I have bought a spinach croissant twice and both times they were so good! It was flaky, crispy, cheesy and a good amount of spinach. I also made a breakfast sandwich with the regular croissant and it was so good and the croissant helped upgrade the taste! I will definitely be back to get their croissants and try their danishes in the near future! You definitely need to check out Mamie Colette if you haven't done it already! read more

Wanted to pick up some pastries for my mom in law's chemo nurses and googled bakeries near the hospital. It's a newer bakery so not too many yelp reviews yet but guys if you love French pastries, go! These are some of the best croissants I have ever had. I have been twice now. Service is great, prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for. I've tried many of their items and have enjoyed all of them so far. I'm writing this now and plan on going again after this next appointment lol. read more

Based solely on the written review of Yelp Legend Gerald S, we made our first visit to Mamie Colette this morning. We purchased a smorgasbord of croissants to sample, and they compared favorably with those we had enjoyed in Paris and exceed the most excellent quality of croissants from the J'aime and Jean George's bakeries (both of which also are managed by French ex-pats) in Philadelphia. Sadly, I have no compelling photos to upload because all that remains is crumbs from our little excursion. BYW, the opportunity to inhale butter-perfumed air is reason enough to stop in. Distinguishing a Mamie C croissant from 99% of others is the beautifully laminated exterior overlaying gorgeous, separately identifiable, buttery layers. Unlike most croissants, Mamie C's don't collapse into a pancake when you bite into them. They bounce back, as they should. read more

I was gifted 2 heavenly croissants (Nutella and chocolate) from Mamie Colette's and they were definitely what they were described to be like ... buttery, rich, fluffy, just the right amount of softness inside and flaky buttery goodness on the outside with enough Nutella and chocolate to add to each savory bite. A joy and reminder of eating croissants in France because Mamies is the real French deal. You should not miss this place if you are in town. read more

I always see the sign saying "croissants this way" when I am in Newtown, and I finally made a stop, and I am so glad I did. This may be the best croissant I have ever had! I got the butter croissant as well as the pain au chocolate, and they were both lovely. This is a great addition to my Thursday routine before heading to the Calm Waters Coffee shop to do some work. read more

Happened to make the trek to this place from New Jersey. Had a plain and a pain o chocolat. The plain was the winner. Had a nice crunch, buttery flavor and yet flaky inside. The chocolate one was good. Chocolate was melted while the not hot or even warm. So, nice trick there. The outer shell could be a bit more crisp to get a nice crunch. The place is a little pricy side comparably but probably due to recent popularity. 4 bucks for a plan and 5 for the chocolate. Service was nice and attentive but not pushy. The ambiance was modern and inviting. Seating outside. People didn't seem to be getting the coffee there. read more

I was on the hunt for an almond croissant and stumbled upon a review for this place on a F/B Foodie Group! I went the next day and was charmed by the shop! I got a Choc and an Almond and they were everything I was looking for! read more

What everyone is saying about Mamie Colette is true. It is the closest patisserie for incredible croissants this side of the 16th arrondissement en Paris. Buttery, flaky, beautifully browned, soft within a delicate firm shell, these troubadours of apex French gourmandise are truly exceptional. Even the long queue early in the morning is reminiscent of the shops along any residential street in a French village. The space is a little hard to find in the rear of the building that also houses the new state store (booze house) just off South State Street in Newtown Borough and about 200 feet from my office (lucky me!) But, it is worth the effort to locate and soak in the lovely quasi-continental atmosphere. This is a work of passion for the women owners. They are well trained and want to share their love of French baking with the world. They are very friendly and look to engage warmly with all customers. Prices reflect the new post Covid economic realities and are not cheap at $4 for a plain croissant and more for ham, spinach or chocolate filling. We can all hope that they have a large following that keeps them in business for many years, and permits them the opportunity to expand their offerings to more creativity and marketable wares. I would love to buy baguettes for sandwiches and sliced Demis for dinner accompaniment. Those classics aren't yet available at Mamie C's, but word around the oven is that they are coming. Now, if they also make those sandwiches with quality meats and cheeses, I will be walking over for lunch almost every day. Bon chance, mes soeurs! read more

Mamie Colette just opened up in newtown a few days ago! I just found out yesterday and had to stop by ASAP to check it out. Upon entrance, there was a pretty long line and you could smell the delectable goodies. There was an abundance of croissants.. ranging from your classic croissant to Nutella, ham and cheese, and even almond croissants. We picked up a few different options! Nutella, ham and cheese, almond, and spinach and cheese. The outside was flakey and sweet, while the inside was soft and melted in your mouth. I highly recommend putting the savory ones in the air fryer for a few minutes and enjoying it warm. Extremely delicious and highly recommend to stop by at least once! They're a little pricier (~$5-6 per croissant) but they definitely are delicious :) read more

Last Sunday I thought I was sitting in the spring sunshine outside a cafe in Paris ! The butter croissant and cafe au lait were just as I remember in France. The crisp outside crust and the pillow soft interior of the perfect butter croissant which needed no other enhancement ! It was just hard not to tuck into the ones I bought to take home. On a previous visit tried the pain au cranberry- the tart cranberry against the buttery pastry was also wonderful. The staff were friendly and accommodating. It will be hard not to make this a weekly Sunday Treat. Just time it carefully as they may sell out. read more

Mamie Colette - Bakeries Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

I'm not sure why I waited so long to drop a review for this hidden gem in Bucks County! Hands down the best croissants I have ever had. The chef behind the glass wall actually studied from France, and you can physically see the amount of love she puts into making the pastries. The place itself is kind of small, they have some seats outside, and a typical coffee shop display shelf with all of their pastries to choose from. The employees are all so friendly and knowledgeable. I have come here several times and never had a bad experience. If you want to check this place out then try to come earlier in the day. They run out fast! My go to is the chocolate almond croissant. It's flaky from the outside and soft from the middle, and pairs so nicely with a latte. The close runner up is the Nutella croissant! Please do your taste buds a favor and check this place out :) read more

These are the absolute best ! It's Newtown's best kept secret ( that's not a secret) . They're so good . Someone said they have an " annoying " policy that you can only get 6 , well I'm glad they do because they're all small batch homemade and this way someone can't come in and buy them all . You can preorder if you need a bunch for an occasion . Just be warned , they're addictive. read more

Mamie Colette - a croissant on a cutting board - Bakeries Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

First... who are the Yelps that gave this place less than a 5 ? #GetYourTasteBidsChecked This place is amazing! The butter infused pastry beeeze that surrounds the outside of the building is just a preview of the delights that you're in for with these croissants! If you're anywhere on the East Coast of the US, you owe it to your stomach to visit. read more

I came across this place when I was looking for more unique bakeries in the Bucks County area. I'd definitely call myself a croissant enthusiast; there are few croissants that catch my attention amongst the many I've tried. Most customers speak highly of there croissants here, which seem to be the main craft of this bakery. I stopped in on a weekend afternoon around 1PM. There weren't a ton of croissants left, but you can't expect any differently if you come after the weekend morning rush. I wasn't too worried, as the bakery markets itself more about quality than variety quantity. I noticed that the bakery also had a good-sized beverage menu as well as some nice seating in the cafe. The employee behind the counter was very friendly and offered help as soon as I came in. She answered a few questions I had regarding croissant flavors. After taking a minute to look, I decided to go for the Pain Au Choclat (chocolate croissant) and Fruit Jam Croissant, which contained apple filling. The type of fruit jam varies depending on the day. The employee rang up my order, which came to about $5 per pastry. I thought this was a bit pricey, even for a small business. However, I anticipated the price point would account for the high quality of these pastries. I tried both croissants shortly after purchasing them. For reference, an ideal croissant has enough flakiness, that it doesn't require roasting. The quality was good, but honestly not the best I've had. They definitely tasted fresh, but the flaky layers weren't anything special to me. I ended up roasting them to get the texture of my liking. Overall, I really like the idea and story of this place. I also enjoy the simplicity of the menu that markets quality over quantity of flavor varieties. I'm more than willing to pay a higher price to support smaller businesses, but the product didn't quite justify the cost for me. I'd say this spot is a good option for people not wanting to go far from Bucks County area, since it's really the only one of its type. read more

Le plus delicieux patisserie. L'ambience est tres pleasant et les chefs sont excellent. Je sera retour avec mon Mari et mes amis.

Amazing pastries. Possibly the best croissant outside of France. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely worth the drive from the city out to Newtown. My fiancé, who is the expert on eating things made with gluten in our household, has declared Mamie Colette to have the best most buttery and flakey croissants he has ever tasted. The pain au chocolat has the perfect amount of chocolate, just like in France, and it's not too sweet. The cafe is bright and sunny and has nice seating indoors and outdoors. The entrance is on the rear side of the building, and there is plenty of parking. read more

I'm sad to give this cute bakery, with very tasty croissants, a sad 2 stars, but I can't get over the fact that they pop a Nespresso pod in the machine and call that a cappuccino and charge $4.15 for that. C'mon...you're a bakery creating amazing pastries...and what goes hand in hand w amazing pastries...a delicious coffee drink, that should be made from scratch, not from a Nespresso pod. That ruined my experience. The coffee drink was so bad tasting, and should have cost $1. Furthermore, they can only use whatever milk (powder?) is in the machine, so if you want almond or oat, it's not happening. I guess you can take your croissant and walk down the street to Calm Waters ‍ read more

Simply AMAZING! The Best, fresh, made before your eyes, beautiful, delicious, elegant, croissants EVER!!!! Unlike other businesses in newtown that simply sell food items made by other bakeries out of state, Mamie Colette puts her love into each and every croissant made. read more

On a recommendation I drove to Newtown to check out the newer bakery. Its space is largely dedicated to baking, making the dining lobby on the smaller side, with a counter for those who wish to eat on the spot. I went for the main show, croissant, and wound up taking home a large assortment of baked goodies. The owner, a woman who named the bakery in honor of her Grandmother, Colette, came out and warmly greeted everyone in the shop, knowing several by name. The helpers at the counter were very helpful and polite ("yes, ma'm"... haven't heard that in an age!) Pastries were very nice. So nice that I didn't actually get the chance to take a photo because my family absolutely demolished them! read more

Too good!! Délicieux en fait. Honestly, without hyperbole, Mamie Colette's croissants are as good if not better than I've had in Paris. So buttery yet light, delectable. Absolutely delicious. The pain au chocolat are exceptional, too, if you want to sate your chocolate craving. Speaking of satiating, they have some savory options, too, croissants with spinach for vegetarians or ham for the omnivores among us. Finally, I'm a coffee aficionado, and absolutely loved their café. They have an impressive coffee press. The women who work here are super kind and the owner has such a charming, warm welcoming smile! They're both French, too! read more

The real deal. Fantastic, on site baked top notch European pastries like Pain au Chocolat and croissants. I am over the top thrilled to have this kind of quality right here in very close proximity to Washington Crossing area!! read more

Finally a place to get the real deal! Slowly making my way through them all. Plain, almond, apricot, cheese, and chocolat are all phenomenal. Flaky, buttery, decadent without being overly sweet. The staff are all so nice and the owner will come out to chat with guests when you don't see her baking, which makes it really feel like you are in Europe. Get there early!! My first trip on a Thursday at 9am they already sold out of the almond! read more

Even though the croissants were flaky, delicious and beautiful (I got one of each of the sweet) I was disappointed there wasn't more Nutella and chocolate inside. Very very skimpy. I'm hoping I just got an off batch. Please consider filling more if you're reading this Magali! Thank you! read more

Some things are worth flying/driving/hitchhiking to. This is one of them. Singular focus on making the area's BEST croissants. That's it.

So happy to have finally found somewhere to get real croissant and true sourdough. Today we got plain croissant, ham and cheese croissant, cheese and berry danish and bread. 10 out of 10 for everything! Will absolutely go back and recommend! read more

These croissants are amazing. Tried a few and all were great. If you can't make it to Paris for a croissant; you can come here(early because they sell out fast) to get one. Can't wait to try more. A welcome patisserie to Newtown!! read more

We came to try their croissants.It is definitely expensive but delicious. The croissants were label incorrectly behind the case. The cranberry and chocolate were mislabeled which I ordered more chocolate and got more cranberry instead. We wanted to try the ham and cheese and they were sold at when we arrived at 8:30am. Wow. We will go back to try that soon and will definitely check to make sure we receive the correct items. read more

Unbelievable. I have never been to Paris but I am guessing this is the closest I will get. So much pride in their craftsmanship. Absolutely the best. read more
