    Popular, but with good reason. Went for breakfast and coffee multiple mornings while in town - and it was awesome. Friendly, prompt service despite the crowd. Delicious homemade sourdough bread we brought home to enjoy. Neat vibe. Price was right. Love it.

    We absolutely adored this sweet little bakery & café one block from Charlottesville's bustling Downtown Mall. I had heard about their main location, but this one was right by our hotel, and it was the perfect place to enjoy the morning. There was a consistent line from the time we arrived (around 8:45am) until we left at 10. We were lucky to snag a table in the cozy nook area in the back with cute, colorful pillows - perfect place to read and eat! Every single pastry looked delicious - it was difficult to just pick a few (had to get some extras to bring home, of course) - we decided to split a bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich on their house-made baguette (breakfast perfection - even better with a little Cholula), then we shared the Brioche Feuilletée (filled with bananas foster cream and topped with sugar & caramel drizzle - WOW), a few petit canelés (tiny and tasty), a classic pan au chocolat and raspberry petit kouign amann (saved both for later). The drip coffee was good, but the espresso was even better - I'm glad we grabbed a few cortados on our way out. I will recommend all of MariaBette's locations to anyone going to Charlottesville - it was very memorable!!

    Goodness. What a delicious experience. I ordered mine for pickup ahead of time, and when I arrived (the pickup counter is at the far end, btw) it was ready- with the exception of my drinks, which I SO appreciate them waiting on. I had expected to have lukewarm coffees, but because they were made last minute it totally exceeded my expectations. The pastries were phenomenal. I get picky about these things too- too much time in the case can mean a fridge-like taste, etc., but not here. These were great. We tried all the versions of the croissants, as well as the palmiers. Really were baked to perfection with just the right sweetness. I was so happy. We also tried the veggie quiche, but because I'm not a fan of Gruyère I couldn't get into it. But that doesn't discount anything they have going on, it's a great place and I'll definitely be stopping again if I come back to Charlottesville.

    The interior and music to this place was a very good touch to the wannabe main character esque vibe. The coffee and desserts however, are lackluster. The pain au chocolat was incredibly dry and did not have the hype that everyone else in other reviews were giving it. The coffee as well tasted incredibly bitter for an iced latte?? I usually savor and enjoy each sip but this one I was just looking to finish it to be able to get my moneys worth (which was about $6 which I think is pretty bananas for a small coffee). The employees working there seemed nice but the food and coffee honestly was not up to par.

    Petite MarieBette has some great pastries! Their breakfasts are also delightful and I love their hot chocolate month. They do have a much smaller menu than the other location so just keep that in mind when you head here. The spot is cozy and seats are usually open :)

    Found this cute cafe/bakery shop while looking for a spot for lunch on a super busy Sunday in the main area. So we headed a few blocks away and easily walked in, walked right up to order, and had our food within 15 minutes! They're a little stuffy and snobbish upon entry and weren't friendly really at all... but the food was great and the menu options were excellent. They are requiring masks for everyone inside unless you are eating which is fine by me, but it's so terribly small inside that it seems futile if you wear the mask to walk up and order and then step 4 feet away to sit and take it off to eat... but kudos for trying and I'm on board. We went with a few things - I chose a piece of the quiche for the day which was a mushroom, leak and thyme. It was great and fresh and a pretty large piece for sharing. I also got an iced soy latte (no syrup) which was very good. My friend got a chicken salad sandwich which was actually a fairly large portion and the chicken salad was delicious! The real winner for me was the yogurt parfait with plain yogurt, a strawberry compote and some delicious house-made granola. YUM! The inside is charming and well-laid out and there was a clean and well-kept bathroom. A solid visit and a place I'd come again for some French pastries and parfait.

    lorraine quiche, twin peaks sandwich

    a cute cafe in charlottesville. their service was super smiley, friendly and was pleasant. the food and drinks is what puts it over the top. i ordered an iced latte, seasonal honey & sea salt latte, the twin peaks sandwich, and a lorraine quiche. the twin peaks is actually the best tuna salad sandwich ive ever had. the seasonal latte was also perfectly balanced. this place is a must visit in charlottesville

    Solid 4 Would come again. Everything is overall fine. Nothing spectacular but a nice little coffee and pastry shop. Pretty busy but lines move quick.

    French bakery with a really good pastry and coffee. The place is crowded on weekends.

    Chocolate almond croissant
    John B.

    I found the mapping on various sites to be confusing. This is actually on Water Street next to Vu Noodles, which is not where google maps or Yelp make it look like. Anyway, it's a nice-looking cafe with a breakfast menu as well as baked goods. My chocolate almond croissant was flaky; I would have taken more almonds and less flakes but it was good. My chai was a subtle, vanilla-infused flavor, and it came out hot enough that it was still warm after I left it behind during my half-hour museum visit. I wasn't blown away by either item, but I would definitely come back for a more substantive breakfast if I were in the market.

    Such a cute little shop, right in the downtown area of Charlottesville. The food is good, fantastic service, and the coffee is well made. They have beautiful pastry's! Definitely a place to check out in Cville!

    Excellent,specialized cupcakes from a lovely at-home store owner. Consider using this home baker…read morefor small and large orders! The chocolate cupcake was fluffy, moist, and evenly filled with chocolate ganache. The peanut butter buttercream frosting was one of the best I've had; not overly sweet and was not at all gritty! The individual boxes that the cupcakes came in were a wonderful, unexpected touch. The process for ordering and picking up the cupcakes was effortless. Brenda, the store owner, was a sweet woman who took my phone call with excitement. She walked me through her flavor profiles and gave me an affordable rate for a half dozen cupcakes. I ordered approximately 5 days before I needed to pick them up with no issues. I even gave her an approximate time I would pick them up at and she made sure to have them ready by then. On pickup day, I drove out to her home which was minutes off Route 29 (behind the CVS on Moore Rd.) Her home, including her kitchen, were immaculate and very, very clean! Just a wonderful experience all around! Please consider giving your business to a local baker!

    From our first meeting with Brenda she was very interested in what my daughter wanted for her…read morewedding reception. Brenda took the time to listen to my daughter and son-n-law asking what they wanted and how she could help make their day perfect. Brenda delivered on service with perfection. The cake and cupcakes were amazing. Many of our guests commented asking who was our baker? Easy Street Bakery is and should be your only choice for cakes and cupcakes. Thank you to Brenda and Homer for being a huge part of making my daughter and son-n-laws wedding the best day ever!
