She got their garlic bagel--the only type of bagel they offer - and it was generously stuffed with delicious, aromatic garlic. She enjoyed it! The café is decorated charmingly, with little Madeleine cookie designs stamped throughout the space. They have a small section with some gift items for sale. They also sell Madeleine cookies, of course, though we didn't get any. The service was given with genuine smiles. The prices were normal - not a deal but not over-the-top. We enjoyed our breakfast and will happily come back!

Really great, local café that I will absolutely be adding to my regular coffee shop + bakery…read morerotation. Plentiful parking out front. Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

I didn't know what to expect since this hidden gem is located on a church campus but such a great experience. It was a Saturday morning, I was anticipating a super crowded/busy place but the morning ended up being super sleepy. I brought a laptop to work on travel planning as my "craft." Super easy to park, connect to wifi and grab snacks and coffee from the wonderful barista. For a while, it was me, the barista, another gentleman (working solo) and two ladies catching up in one of the many tables to catch up at. When my friends arrived, we were able to push two tables together to have enough chairs and table space since people brought diamond paintings, cross stitch, and coloring workbooks to work on. It was a lovely time. A group of ladies did come in later and started playing mah jong. Toward the end of our meetup, folks were coming in with flowers, dresses, and tuxedos in preparation for a wedding happening later that day. Overall a great place to meetup. There's a nice group/conference room that looks like it could be reserved for larger parties, but most of the tables were for two people... three 4-tops and then a couple of other tables with more lounge chairs (for groups of 4). I have an older laptop so I'm stuck looking for power, there were a couple tables situated close to outlets and then a large wrap around bar in the center that I spied a few outlets but not all the seating had access to power.

There's ample seating, and on the Wednesday late morning that I stopped in, a smattering of folks were quietly working. The pastries are displayed along the counter, and there's also a chalkboard with their empanada offerings. I got a pineapple-stuffed pastry stick, pan de bono (cheese bread), and guava & cheese empanada to go with our iced brown sugar cinnamon latte & iced vanilla latte (both with oat milk). I love the tropical/Colombian touches to the food offerings, and they were all delish! I especially enjoyed the empanada since it was served hot with a flaky crust and perfect amount of filling. Highly recommend coming in if you're in the area and looking for a caffeine + sweet treat boost!

The sauces were great; however, I was not too happy with the empanadas. However, I would be back again and again for the coffee!

There are so many pastry options to choose from that it was honestly hard to decide -- everything looked fresh and beautifully prepared. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The pâtisserie has a comfortable, quiet, and very clean atmosphere, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee and pastry without feeling rushed. Its central location in Charlotte also makes it a convenient spot to stop by while exploring the area. We really enjoyed our visit and the relaxed atmosphere. The combination of great coffee, delicious pastries, welcoming staff, and a comfortable setting makes Chez Marie Pâtisserie a place we'll definitely return to!

The barista was welcoming. She was the only barista at the time I ordered; however, her partner was in line to order drinks (I assume she was on break). As the partner saw the line grow she jumped back in to help. We ordered the lavender haze latte and chai with vanilla. We ordered the 24oz which is automatically iced. Reading is fundamental because my husband wanted a hot drink and I wanted to surprise him with a large size which turned the drink iced (meh). Anyway, the flavors were there!!!!! The house made syrups were amazing as well. I deducted a star because my cup had way too much ice. Otherwise, I will return.

If you're unfamiliar with the area, as I was, it's hard to find, but it's definitely a hidden gem. It's located within a beautiful brick shopping area, surrounded by other places to eat & shop, but it's in a cove area which leads to a courtyard. Again, hidden gem. It's so cute & cozy. There are 2 tables inside, and a few outside, which would be perfect on a nice day. The service is great, seems to a family run business. Everything looks soooooo delicious, it was very hard to decide. I narrowed it down to a small Lobster Tail pastry, which is essentially a deliciously stuffed croissant with Italian sweet cream (my guess) with a strawberry on top. It was the best pastry I've had in a long time. I also ordered the carrot cake, which is a favorite of mine, and it was good, not the best ever, but it's ok, the Lobster Tail made everything ok. Lastly, I had the Biscoff Latte. As you know, you'll see either a Biscoff or a Cookie Butter Latte everywhere you go these days. This was my third go at a variation & maybe my favorite. They have tons of yummy pastries and a great selection of cakes. I'll definitely be back.

The space itself has a really cool industrial vibe and offers lots of seating both inside and outside, making it a great spot to hang out or get some work done.

The menu has plenty of options and the baked goods on display look very nice. The man who took our order was super sweet and greeted us as soon as we walked in. It was also wheelchair accessible! Little tight inside to navigate though. There was also only one gender-neutral bathroom which had a line for it when we were there. We got the Bulgogi beef bun, the pistachio latte w/tache and the brown sugar vanilla latte w/ salted cream. Everything was delicious!!! It was probably the first pistachio latte I've ever had that I could actually taste the pistachio. The brown sugar vanilla latte was very aesthetically appealing and tasty.

220C Banh Mi and Coffee is a cute and little local cafe that sells banh mi, drinks, and pastries!…read moreThe inside is not the largest, but it does have this somewhat peaceful and zen atmosphere (possibly due to the bamboo wallpaper) so it seems like it would be a great work or study space. In terms of the service, I thought it was good. I asked for two banh mis but was informed that there were only enough ingredients for one so I was refunded for the extra banh mi I had paid for! I ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I was worried there would be no Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi left because at other cafes that sell this option, it runs out FAST. Luckily, they had enough left to make one order for me. The banh mi was very flakey and crispy! I enjoyed the buttery mayo on the banh mi and the crispy pork belly was good, but I wish the pork belly was not cut in such small and thin pieces. I would love to feel the crunch of the crispy skin in my bites. But I know that I probably got the leftovers since it was near closing when I arrived. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was super strong! A bit too strong for my liking. Overall, I think that this is a solid spot for a quick bite or meal! I would like to come back earlier in the day to get a fresher batch of the crispy pork belly and to try their pastries.
