In homage to the Girl Scout cookie - a Samoa Cronut that has all the buttery layers of a croissant with the springy chewiness of a donut, coated in tiny flecks of coconut adhered with delicate fresh-made caramel and a chocolate drizzle. It's divine! Also extraordinary: a classic cinnamon roll covered in a generous layer of buttery cream cheese frosting, every bit as satisfying as homemade, without the hassle. For here or there, a Brown Butter Cookie with chocolate chips the consistency of s'more's and a healthy sprinkle of sea salt that's crunchy and surprising in the best way. The space is minimal without feeling cold, with indoor workspace opening to a large landscaped patio. Don't forget the coffee - full circle, it's very good here.

I CANNOT BRAG ON THIS ENOUGH! There is a touch of balsamic that brightens the strawberry. The sprig of thyme is beautiful as well as tasty. I thought this might be a sweet pastry, but it's actually savory, in the very best way. The pastry is so flaky and crisp. My dreams will be full of this for years to come. Now let me get to the latte. It was SO RICH AND SMOOTH!!!! I got a sugar-free-vanilla latte--expecting nothing special. It was the best cup of joe I've had in a long time! I love to drink the foam so I removed the lid and was surprised to see the adorable art. This place is TASTY! If I'm ever back in Topeka, I can't wait to come back.

I love it when a coffee shop serves their cortado in the proper short glass. It was perfection. [Review 794 of 2026 - 134 in Kansas - 25975 overall]

This is a well lit, big windows, open spaces vibe coffee house. The noise level wasn't loud or close to it. There is a bar, coffee and tea, and sandwiches. I ordered an Everything began and Garden Vegetable Cream cheese bagel with added lettuce. There wasn't a line so I decided to take it up a notch. I was shocked with about 5 different cream cheeses to choose from. Check out the lights, windows, and the high ceiling look. I was wanting to chill solo today so I went to the back room. This is where I took the pics. They support small artists and businesses; fun to see what will be displayed in this back room. There is a coffee roaster here too! Marais des Cygnes has cool merchandise to sell besides beans. Clean restrooms and the tables/chairs are well maintained. Back room can be reserved as well. Great for solo, catching up with small groups, or possibly cramming for exams. Not like cozy fall asleep comfy but open well lit feeling. Parking on Main St but better to park on the side (courthouse side). 2 entrances. Another plus is the cashier didn't try to push for a tip (kinda makes me feel uncomfortable when a place asks). Instead I found the nice old fashioned tip jar. Downside: food can take a really long time to arrive (that was my past experience here but that was 8 mo. ago). Today's experience was 10/10 perfect.
