My son said his sandwich was perfect. This bakery was busy with both both tourists and locals. Service was friendly and I appreciated their patience while I decided what to get.

The salad was pretty good. The red onion, olives and feta cheese were particularly fresh compared to anything in the U.S. and the cheese bread was super soft. We are used to the chewy sourdough one from San Francisco, but this was solid in a different way. I know this store got only three stars on here but it's clearly a different bakery now. They appear to have won a bunch of awards, but I am not sure since I couldn't read the French on the certificates on the wall. We stayed right across the street so it was convenient for us. This will be our go-to bakery while staying here. I plan to try their mini pastries with chocolate chips next. They were perfectly laminated and the ideal size for a borderline diabetic. I wouldn't travel across town to eat here since there's so many bakeries in Marseilles, but if you're in the neighborhood, this is a good place to go.

Many Opera attendees come here for a quick bite to eat (order at the counter) before settling in their seats. Located on the plaza across from the Opera house and very convenient, I Highly recommend MARROU. I often stop in for a cafe and pastry late afternoons. Lovely interior and very comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. When my husband band travels I often pick up dinner for myself. Marinated shrimp, grilled veggies and stuffed egg plant among my favorites. Enjoy!

(And, it was that mid-afternoon time when it's difficult to find something to eat most places in France.) I'm reluctant to give the place two stars, as the staff was very kind and attentive, but the sandwich had been sitting in the case for a while, and I've gotta say, it was quite a lot LESS than delicious. We so seldom have food in France that doesn't pass the tasty test, but I'm afraid that's where we landed here. Maybe we chose the wrong sandwich! Maybe we should have had chocolate instead. But next time we're hungry in Marseille, we'll likely seek out another option.

Great, fresh pastry. Both the pain au chocolat and the croissants are excellent! Wish they would…read moreserve coffee.

We have lived about 2 years in France, mostly in the South, and experienced dozens of good…read morebakeries, but this one is the best. You have to love the concept of reverse migration at work here, with the Québécois (old French) coming to France (new French) and showing the supposed experts at bread (the French) a thing or two about flour and yeast. The breads are a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. They might be more expensive but they are still a good value because they are more substantial. What passes for a restaurant baguette, their "l'Olympique" is more like two restaurant baguettes and lasts longer. Their "nuages" (a square form of boule, deeply crusted) served extremely well on the dinner table as well as for toast at breakfast. The variety of breads is impressive, at times exotic, and the several that we have tried maintain the same high quality. We only wish we had time to try them all! The boulangerie is located immediately next to the largest site for the market in Aix and should not be missed. Formidable!

There are actually several Jacob bakeries/coffee shops spread out around Aix [I've counted 4, but I…read morecould be missing a few!] The formula works well: a variety of baked goods available to go or to eat in the back room of the coffeeshop. As with most French cafes, there's no pressure to eat and get out- patrons are welcome to stay as long as they want. Unfortunately the seating is not especially comfortable so I've never wanted to stay that long! The baked goods here are delicious- very crusty baguettes, buttery croissants and pain au chocolat. The coffee, on the other hand, is to be avoided. All in all, though, a decent place to camp out and get some work done.
