Somehow it ended up costing over 65 Euros! The sales associate said ours was by far the heaviest she had encountered! We have enough cookies to last us for quite a while! It's not cheap, but it's worth every bite!

This is definitely a must stop when visiting Marseille. The SAs are very friendly and constantly offering whole samples of cookies, chocolates, and candies. Delicious! I think I gained a pound just trying everything! Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. The packaging is equally colorful, whimsical, and oh so French. Plus if you prefer, they wrap each item as a gift. Score! I really enjoyed their variety of nougat, cookies, and marzipan candies. It was tough deciding which flavors to get since they were all so yummy! Apparently the store is doing well and is expanding in the U.S. They currently have a store in NYC, and have plans for SF.

Baguette was warm fresh at 11 pm. France is more expensive than Spain but the prices are reasonable. Wherever you are staying in Marseille search for "Carrefour City" on Google Maps. You will probably find one within walking distance.

Going in here really reminded me Disneyland... it's very old France feeling on the inside. Super…read morecute with half cafe and half chocolatier. I bought some sour not chocolates and then grabbed my morning cafe. They didn't speak much English, but we were able to get by with little French and English. Coffee which was more double espresso was amazing! And wow! Gotta get the grapefruit juice freshly squeezed! Sooooooo good! One more thing! Great service!

You cannot come to France and miss a chance to experience the coffee culture. I don't even drink…read morethe stuff yet I knew I needed to visit a cafe. We chose this place at random but we hit gold! The grandiose store front does leave an impression on you. The rich smell of roasting coffee beans is enough to wake anyone up. This place has an easy to understand setup. Long counter on the left for the cafe and a long counter on the right for the store. As we were not purchasing any beans to take home the store with it's seemingly endless selection of different coffee blends didn't get much attention from us. The wife ordered a coffee and I a hot chocolate. I don't remember seeing any tables, just one long counter that snaked it's way around the edge of the store with stool after stool lined up. The wife gave her cappuccino a 10 out of 10. This is coming from a woman who's highest score at any Australian cafe has been 3! She is absolutely the pickiest person when it comes to coffee. I've tasted very good hot chocolates, but this one... this one... I've never had my breath taken away by a hot chocolate before. It was so silky smooth and rich in chocolate taste that I was considering marrying it. The finest blend of chocolate and hot fresh milk. The waitress seemed very happy with our praise. The prices were reasonable and the service was fast. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again.

The tourist office workers suggested I go here and order a "rose." I was a little skeptical as the reviews were just alright but decided to give it a try. There is seating both indoors and outdoors. There was a bit of a line but it went by fast. I saw pictures of the "rose" and thought it was such a cute idea! I ordered passionfruit and strawberry sorbets. The lady crafted them both so delicately into a rose. Such a fun dessert to try. The prices were not bad either and the service was fantastic! They let you try different flavors and also give out suggestions. Their coffee is supposedly great too but I didn't get a chance to try it.
