With the spiral croissant craze lately, I first heard of this place through Instagram and decided to snag some on my day off! As far as I know, I think Marvel Cake's the only place in the South Bay that offers these types of croissants. I arrived less than 10 minutes before opening on a Thursday, and there were probably 8 parties ahead of me already. They actually opened doors before 10am, which was nice. My first impressions of the place were that it smelled incredible with that butter and pastry aroma and the inside was clean and cute with a Parisian feel. The girl who helped me was cheery and polite. Like all the other people in line, I got one of each spiral croissant: pistachio, strawberry, chocolate, and hazelnut (just dropped last week). Priced at $7.50 each, these croissants are hefty! The inside was loaded with cream. I'd probably enjoy them more if there was more croissant and less cream because I could barely finish one with how rich it was. But the flavors were nice and don't taste artificial at all (one of my biggest fears especially with strawberry flavored things), and the crispy, flaky exterior held together when cut in half. It was worth it to try out the spiral croissants for me, but for next time, I'll try their gorgeous patisserie desserts, which look and are priced similar to Maison Alyzee or Alexander's Patisserie. With some seating inside and outside, this would be a good place to catch up with a friend over an afternoon treat. read more

Great place for amazing and beautiful desserts! The filled croissants are great! Try their rose latte good! Beautiful cakes too! Decorated very nice, we sat outside with our dog but next time I'll leave her home and sit inside. I went there 2 days in a row!! read more

It's my kind of place, especially around birthday seasons. I call it one of my favorite sweet spots. Great place to meet up with people. Their hot beverages and galettes are great. They make some of the best cakes and desserts around here. Huge selections. Lots of colorful and flowery decorations. I have tasted a little bit of everything over the past 3 years. All items are excellent. Don't look at pricing when everything else is perfect. Their birthday cakes are yummy and marvelous. I usually go for my favorite mango or lemon mousse fruit tarts. Pistachio tart was not bad either. Chocolate flavors are always just right. Not overly sweet. I always leave with a box of 6-12 dessert items or a birthday cake. It's a very passionate and welcoming place. 5-stars review: Excellent customer service, hardworking hustlers, attentive, friendly, clean, very organized, beautiful presentations, perfect/passionate pastries and desserts, and believe me, it's very colorful no matter how you look at it and feel just being here. Bonus points for having English tea time options in the beautiful room indoors. Comfortable seats. Bright lighting. Outdoor tables and seating area are convenient. Parking lot gets busy. Although it gets busy or crowded at times and lines forming can make it a long wait, the place itself really stands out because everything is absolutely delicious and beautiful. Definitely try to arrive early if possible. read more

The good: I definitely marveled over the gorgeous desserts here. The desserts here are works of art! Every dessert is so flawless and beautiful. They use mirror glaze on many of their tarts. Their packaging is also high end-looking and luxurious. I want to come back for some pastries and a tea service. I tried the mango passion fruit tart, pomegranate cheesecake tart, lemon tart (they said it was a staff favorite), pistachio tart, and a strawberry tart (with a pretty dried rose on top). They have other French pastries like macarons and eclairs. The bad: The jelly layers in the tarts were on the sweet side. I think a cake version or a cake slice of this would be too much sweetness so the small tartlet sizes were definitely more appropriate. Tarts are pricey at around $8-10 each. The cheesecake had just as much jelly layer as the cheesecake layer so it didn't taste too much like cheesecake. The strawberry tart is mostly mousse and jelly on top of a really thin tart/biscuit. I, personally, think it would be nicer with more tart. The interesting: They take custom orders for cakes but also have ready-to-pickup cakes. They also carry Marianne's ice cream. read more

From the day I came back from NYC, after timing it perfectly to snatch one of the NYC Swirly Crossaunts, I was told Marvel CAUGHT on. I got to say, we waited in line at Marvel for a good min. They aren't EXACTLY the same but it's close enough. The concept here is a mix between Crossaunt/ Cream Puff. They have a cute room in the back for the ones that want to enjoy tea time and pastries! Anyways, if y'all haven't already tried I definitely recommend having one in your life time! read more

This is one of the best bakeries I have ever been to in my life. The prices reflect that, but I have never complained about something on the basis of price alone. I literally was just looking for a snack after a big lunch so I found this place on Yelp. I was greeted before I even entered the open door and the girls were very polite and nice to me befitting a place of this stature. Once you're inside it's very nice, there is a ton of attention to making sure you know this is a high end place, and as you walk up to the counter everything is merchandised and displayed like they're selling high end watches. Fruit tart, pom cheesecake, croissant. The croissant is literally the most perfect expertly cooked and layered croissant you've ever eaten. If I told you it was a $5.50 croissant youd look at me like I was stupid but if I gave you 12 of them you would eat all 12 without looking up. The cheesecake is very pretty, its cheesecake which is already perfect Fruit tart is perfect. The marscapone isn't too sweet which is my problem with some of these blueberry frangipanes I get at Whole Foods. They have chilled wines in the shop for you to buy, I really think the next trip I'm just going to cook a solid $100 and be the absolute man at work. The boxes are the most beautiful boxes I've ever seen from a bakery there was a lot of thought and the gold gilded print feels extremely expensive. read more

This shop looks nice and clean, but had shockingly bad service. It was unfortunate that we were unable to try the spiral croissants because it was sold out. We stopped by on October 7th 2023 on Saturday around 1pm. The service was beyond disappointing, it was one of the worst experience I've ever had. The staff seemed like they did not want to be there and didn't even acknowledge our existence. Also, we were browsing for pasties but yet had to flag down the staff to even place an order, while other customers got service almost instantly. We got the Napoleon, a tiramisu tart, almond croissant, Mocha, matcha latte and an americano. The pastries were too sweet, but the drinks were prepared well. The almond croissant and napoleon had a a flaky interior met with a sweet filling. The cream in the napoleon was light but the sweetness was too overpowering. The mocha and matcha latte were both creamy and had a good consistency through out the drinking process with subtle hints of sweetness that was just enough to leave an espresso taste. I can't imagine ever coming back but wish them the best. read more

Needed to try out the hype around this place and I have to say I get it! We went for their popular Pistachio spiral croissant but they'd run out. Not surprised for a Saturday afternoon. So we got macarons and the pistachio mousse. The mousse was better than the macarons. But not the best we have had. The ambiance was really cute and cozy. Their staff was very friendly and patient. However, we couldn't leave with a croissant and although they didn't have the flavor we wanted to try, we got the pumpkin one to-go. And OMG! Beat ourselves up for only getting one. It was sooooo goood. Even better because we weren't expecting it to be so delicious. Definitely going back for croissants and 10/10 will order every single flavor! read more

The bakery itself is super nice and their products are good and pretty-looking. The thing that I have an issue with is their staff. Nobody seemed to like working when we got there. No smiles, not very accommodating. Not sure if they're tired (it was mid day) or if they're just having a bad day. But not one single smile from any of the staff. read more

Overrated bakery. We didn't get to try the famous spiral croissants but we tried hazelnut tart, Neapolitan, chocolate eclairs, cream brûlée tart, leek and parmesan pastry and plain croissant. Except the hazelnut tart all of the other pastries were totally underwhelming. Really nothing special and quite expensive. Leek and parm savory pastry had weird smell. Eclair was soggy. We were there on Sunday morning at 11.30 am, we had about 15 people ahead of us in line and the spiral croissants were sold out. It's a cute bakery, very nice decor and super friendly staff but the pastries are not that good. Expensive and underwhelming. P.S. Response to the Business owner's reply: You have every right to defend your business but my opinions are my opinions. What makes you think I am spreading false information? I have a critical opinion about your food so in return you accuse me of being a lier and a poor person as your prices are "over my budget". And see pictures for proof of purchase just in case. Good luck for your all your future endeavors. May you alway find people who have big budget. read more

Visited this bakery to try the rolled stuffed croissants. Disappointed when I found out if you are not here an hour from their opening they sell out. It has a very cute ambiance inside. They serve coffee and tea and you can dine inside and enjoy a pastry. Since I drove from SF I decided to try something else due to the croissants being sold out. I was immediately sticker shocked at their prices - $10.50 for a very small dainty pretty pastry. Ordered two of them and the girl serving me recommended the almond filled croissants. I paid $31 for 4 small pastries . I was excited and wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, it was a big fail for me. Over cooked dry croissants and ok tasting extremely overpriced pastry. Unfortunately - I won't be back. read more

The first time I came here was before the whole spiral croissant trend blew up. I got a pastry and a coffee with a friend. The drink was so cute and tasted really good. I forget the pastry name now but it was very flaky and had pistachio. The spiral croissants here are amazing. I am a big fan of pistachio and they nailed it. read more

The croissant was delicious.. buttery and crispy.. it is like your in Paris for the dessert but the line is much longer than expected. They are known for their spiral croissant that usually sold out for the first couple hours opening. I only recommend the croissant here as it is very delicious but not other dessert here such as macaroon as it is overpriced for a small piece! The croissant here is amazingly good especially in any filling you get. You will find this to be the best croissant in the Bay Area. I believed everything here is overpriced! read more

This cafe and its pastries are quite instagram/photo worthy c: I tried to arrive early on a Sunday morning, parked at 9:49am and saw there was already a bit of a line outside. Luckily, it seemed like they opened their doors around 9:52 so folks were being let in to get their pastries early. There were a lot of staff members there to help and the ordering process was pretty smooth - When you get up to the counter, a staff member will ask what you would like, then you pay at the end of the line. It was so hard to decide what I wanted - there were so many good-looking pastries! The price of the pastries averages around ~$7ish. Here's what I got to-go: * Spiral croissants: They limit you to 3 spiral donuts per customer, one of each flavor. Highly recommend airfrying or warming them up at home! They were flaky and the cream was decent, but my family and I can't say we were blown away. It was a fun experience trying them but I think they're a bit overhyped and I won't be waiting in line for them again. * Savory Pastries (Leek Parmesan & Spinach Feta): These were the highlight of my experience! Sooo good~ both flaky and very flavorful. I will absolutely be coming back for these. They're a must-get in my opinion! * Apricot Galette: Not too sweet and the apricot added the perfect amount of freshness * Napoleon: It was my first time having this and it was delicious! Very flaky and light. * Crepe cake: Also my first time trying a crepe cake~ it was not too sweet, pretty light, and surprisingly pretty good :) $12 for a small slice though, I will not be getting it again I will be back for their savory pastries and maybe for other ones I haven't yet tried :) read more

Decided to treat myself in a Thursday afternoon. Got to the location around 12:30 and there was no line and service was wonderful. The ambiance is super cute and can see my self brining my friends here to enjoy some pastries. I got 2 items, chocolate swirl and the spinach feta croissant. For drink, I asked what the recommended was and she suggest the lavender latte which did not disappoint. (Just note that all drinks a made with whole but can change to a non-dairy option) I decided to get my items To go. read more

Came Here on Friday afternoon, there is no line. There are plenty of parking in the plaza in Campbell. It looks so cute when you walk in, is like a jewelry store with cakes in display. I came here to try their popular spiral croissant but they are all out around 1pm. The service was courteous and efficient. Love the deco and seating area, make you feel like home. I got their tiramisu and napoleon to go and the red velvet mocha. It came out very fast and love the presentation. If you in the area, should definitely stop by. The napoleon is crispy and fluffy inside, both desserts are very yummy and not so sweet. read more

I was really excited to try Marvel Cake and had been wanting to get the croissant spiral I see all over Instagram. Unfortunately, it looked like they were pretty much sold out of items when I got there in the afternoon. I decided to still pick up a few things just to give it a try since I was already there. I got their croissant, the hazelnut chocolate tart, and 3 macaroons ($29 for everything, which is pretty overpriced for just a few things- the macaroons were $5.50 a piece, and they were tiny!). The macaroons did not hold up well since I got them for my mom who I saw the next day. She said they didn't taste fresh and were falling apart, which is disappointing considering they were really expensive. I also ate the croissant the next day and it was really dry and thick, not buttery or flakey even after re-toasting. The hazelnut tart, which was also very overpriced for a tiny little portion, was the only thing that tasted decent. It was a tad bit on the sweet side, but I will take it compared to all the other items. The service was also really lousy and unwelcoming. Unfortunately, not sure if I'd come back after this experience, and I didn't even get to try their famous croissant spirals. read more

Great place to have brunch. They have a nice selection of pastries. Plenty of indoor seating.

I'm really confused what the hype is. We got here at 9:30am on a Sunday and the line started to form around 9:40am. I think the spiral croissant was made famous on tiktok so it's definitely hyped with men and women all lining up for this! I will admit I'm attracted to lines! What is all the rage about these croissants? I had to know!! They opened the door around 9:55am and took orders quickly. I got several pastries and a latte including the opera cake (they recommended it), a pistachio mousse, an almond crisp thing for $3, a butter croissant, chocolate croissant, 6 spiral croissants (1 flavor per person, 3 flavors available, so if you have 2 people, you can order 6!). The spiral croissant was $7.50 each. The cakes were roughly $10-11 a slice. The almond little crisp thing for $3. Overall I spent around $90 and BOY WAS THAT way too much. I don't understand why people like the pastries. The butter croissant and chocolate croissant were hard as rocks the next day. Dry even when microwaved. The opera cake tasted normal, and the almond crisp thing I was so mad about because it didn't even have an almond taste to it. Now, the spiral croissants. There's a pistachio, strawberry and chocolate version. Inside if you cut it open, is like pudding cream filling in each croissant. The texture of the croissant is dense. It's an interesting concept. Reminds me of a cronut, but with a cream inside I guess! Is it worth it? Well, it's always fun to try something new. I think it would depend how far you're driving to get it. I wouldn't drive more than 20 mins for it. And set your expectations low. This wasn't mind blowing and I was so disappointed in all the pastries and cakes. There's definitely better places. Alexander's patisserie for example, and even fire bakery that wholesales to a lot of coffee shops has better croissants in my opinion. I personally wouldn't be back, but hey! Why not try it? It's the experience that's fun. I heard they make 300 spiral croissants of each flavor a day, so they do run out within an hr or so. Even on the weekday. So get there early! read more

Instagram inspired to visit. Wow what a gem hidden in Campbell. Thank you Camil for waited on us and she was patient and helpful in helping us make the best sections based on our liking. Staff was friendly and kept the line moving efficiently. They have a good selection of pastries cupcakes, tarts,croissants but yes they are pricy. Marvel Patisserie & Cafe is incredible! So happy to be inspired to finally visit. It was a little out of my way but totally worth the visit. This a pastry and Café gem to have in the Bay Area. From the moment I walked in to the the moment I walked to the counter I was in awe of their selections of pastries and lattes. The overall ambiance elegance of the cafe makes your experience even more memorable. The spiral croissant alert are always limited and sold out by mid day. I called marvel before Heading to the café and I was informed that they had a limited selection and couldn't hold. I just prayed that the pistachio croissant would not be sold out. Just to my luck me and my sister we're both able to purchase the three flavors of the spiral croissant. Chocolate strawberry, and pistachio. Yeahhhhh After making our purchase to go, we sat down and enjoyed our rose latte and pistachio latte with a Little treat. The berry cheesecake was amazing not to sweet just the right amount of sweet just to make it perfect! Definitely will be coming here again with my girls. read more

SO SO SO CUTE! This place is so cute and aesthetic. It's very clean and comfortable! I would love to comeback on a weekday to sit and enjoy the ambiance. The staff is so sweet and kind. Very good customer service. They also ask if everything is okay and do check ins with you. If you sit at the place then they bring the pastry to you on a little plate with a fork and napkin. I had a latte and it has a good, strong coffee flavor. The pastry I had was peach and it was light and flaky! I also got a cream puff (not pictured) and wow was it good! The whipped cream was fresh and delicious! I would get this and the pastry again. My mom got a savory pastry (I can't remember which), but it was so flavorful. I loved it! The cakes are so pretty and cute. My sister I think got a cherry one? (Correct me if I'm wrong) but it looks like you can't go wrong with any of them! The place got a little busy around noon and has a good constant flow of customers. This place is wonderful and definitely will return! So happy to come here! I noticed if you order tea then they'll serve it in a cute tea pot and I love that, so I'll comeback to try the tea for the teapot read more

Arrived 15 minutes before opening to finally try these spiral croissants that have been circulating the internet. About 5 min before opening I noticed one person beginning to walk up and get in line. I immediately jumped in line too and right after 15 other people got in line. I will say, based on the amount of customers in line, I wouldn't be shocked if they sold out within minutes. Arrive early guys there's only a limited amount and I hope you enjoy! They also specialize in custom cakes! These croissants are trending but they have so much more to offer besides just these croissants. Check them out! read more

They're known for their spiral croissants but you have to go early or else it'll be sold out. I got the strawberry tart since they ran out of the spiral croissants. The strawberry tart was pretty and has some strawberry/raspberry jam mousse in the inside but I don't think it was worth it for $10.50. I will revisit to try the spiral croissants. Since I can't give it a 3.5/5, I will round up and give it a 4/5. read more

If you love overpriced and expensive baked goods with a nice ambiance, then this is the place for you. I am sorry, but charging $5.5 for a single macaron and upwards of $14 for speciality tarts is ridiculous. Well known cafes and bakeries in the city don't even charge this much. Avoid. Overhyped bakery and expensive for the average quality you are getting. read more

Came here on mothers day at 10:20 am and there was a long line outside already. I think the wait lasted about 30 mins tho and they ran out of the strawberry spiral croissant. But i was able to get one of each of the other flavors: chocolate, matcha, pistachio. Also got a regular chocolate croissant. I didn't get to eat them right away cuz i had errands after and wanted to bring them to socal. Staff told me it wasn't recommended to refrigerate or freeze them but I didn't listen or have a choice if i wanted to take them socal. But glad I didn't because it made me appreciate the quality even more. FYI the spiral croissants are $7.50 a piece. The pastries were left in the car in the sun for about a couple hours and melted and i was devastated about that. Then I refrigerated them for a day then took them on a plane to socal the next day. Took them out 5 days later and air fried them and they came out so good! They tasted like they just came out the oven with the warm flaky croissant and warm oozy cream. I recommend eating w a fork and knife to avoid the mess. On top of that, they all tasted really good. My fav is pistacjio for the sweet and nutty flavor. Matcha was my next favorite. Airfry tip: 325 F for 5 mins :) Overall I would prob get this again esp after everything I put them thru. Hope a place opens in LA! I also want to try the strawberry one! ALSO YOU MUST GO BEFORE 10AM before the spiral croissants run out. read more

Amazing bakery! The croissants are good but the tarts really take the cake in this one! The spiral croissants were good but they were also more dense than fluffy and flakey. All of the tarts we got were absolutely amazing, so many contrasting textures and flavors, I would recommend all of them! In terms of the wait, we got there at 11am on a saturday and had to wait around 30 minutes. It's a very cute cafe very feels a bit crowded with all the people waiting in line. There aren't too many tables available but most people are taking their pastries to go so there were a couple tables open when we were leaving. read more

Will all the 4-5 star reviews and co-workers raving about the baked goods, finally checked it out this past weekend and the reviews did not disappoint! Tried 4 types of croissaints: Butter- fluffy and each bite was a butter goodness....Paris is now in Campbell. Almond - sweet, delectable bite of great almond flavor. Spinach- this was the weakest of the 4, as the spinach was underwhelming Leek & Cheese- so savory as there was plenty of leek flavor with each bite and the cheese was not very present but the overall taste was excellent. Very upscale vibe and super friendly staff! read more

Lagging on customer service big time for the price of pastries you pay for. No greeting or thank you upon purchasing. Pastries 4/5, it's good but nothing to rave about. $60 for 3 cupcakes and 4 pastries, just wanted to try this place out. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Had to try these trending spiral croissants without any further delay! A very cute, aesthetically pleasing cafe serving all things fancy! We were fortunate to not have long ques to get into the shop:) We ordered a Chocolate Croissants, Macaroon and a french Vanilla Pastry along with a hot cappuccino and butter croissant. All of them looked very inviting however everything was too sweet. How I wish they had some Puff pastry savory options to cut down on the sweetness of all the dessert options. read more

Bakery opened at 10:00AM. We were here at 9:45AM on Saturday but the line was long and many people were here Perhaps they came here at 9:00 AM ?? After a half hour waiting on line in the cold weather ..so I asked myself..is it worthy ? My ordered was number 86. Maybe 85 people before me? Finally my turn I ordered the spiral croissant strawberry and pistachio were good. It was crunchy and creamy . Strawberry tart and Rose chocolate mousse were delicious not too sweet . The Pink Rose latte and Mocha OK nothing special but I loved the way they made the art on the top of the coffee so cute. The service was slow and the waiting time to long. Maybe on the weekday better? Overall it's good to try but come back for the another day I don't know. read more

One of the best patisseries I've been to in a while. Their chocolate eclairs are just amazing, nice bitter sweet chocolate cream coupled with a slight crunchy outer shell pastry. It was delectable and had me wanting more. We also tried to viral spiral croissants that did not disappoint. Flavors were rich, pastries were fresh, crispy and flaky, not much more you can ask for. Feel a bit embarrassed to say, but we actually went the day before to try to get those croissants and missed it as it was sold out. One of the sweet lady there told us to come back at opening if we absolutely wanted them or at least make it there before 1pm before they are sold out. Everyone there are so nice and happy to give suggestions if you ask. It has a cafe section where you can sit and enjoy the pastries with a cup of tea or coffee. Ambiance was nice and calming and just over a nice sit down place if you wanted to. Nice music as well to make the experience that much more enjoyable. read more
