Fresh pastries and the perfect chocolat chaud (sho) (Hot Chocolate)…read more La Boutique du Glacier in Marseille is such a cute and charming spot. We stopped in for a quick treat, and I'm so glad we did. I ordered a chocolate croissant and two chocolat chauds... both were fresh, delicious, and NOT overly sweet, which is a massive win for me. The croissant was perfectly flaky with just the right amount of chocolate inside. And that hot chocolate? Smooth, cozy, and so good without being heavy or sugary. You order at the counter and they bring everything to your table... super easy and relaxed. The inside is adorable with photos of the city and a warm local feel. Perfect place to chill, people watch, and enjoy a little sweet moment in Marseille. Definitely recommend if you want something tasty without the sugar overload!

Highly recommended by our tour guide La Boutique du Glacier. Serving a great selection of French…read morepastries, breads, and sandwiches. We stopped by to have a sandwich and a croissant . The freshly baked bread with a Pesto sauce, fresh ham, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, and hand sliced cheese was delicious. The croissant was perfect. Buttery layers of goodness. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Our servers were attentive and accommodating. They have inside and outside dining. Take out definitely available. We picked up some gifts to bring home. Palet Au Beurre, cookies, and fruit lollipops. Definitely a place we'll go back to when we return.

Nomnomnom! Tasty as nomnom!…read more The quiches are absolutely homemade and delicious, the coffee is fantastic, the service is quick (OK - there weren't many people here, so I can't judge how it must be on busy days), the place is small and super cute! Savoury lunch? CHECK! Can we now please discuss the most important aspect of Grumpy Cakes? The cakes and cookies! Sweets? CHECK! I have no words for it, except that you should transform yourself into Cookie Monster and stuff as many cookies, brownies, tartelettes in your mouth as possible! Tip from Flip: order the lunch 'combo' - you'll get savoury + lettuce + drink + cookie. You want it. Yes you do, yes you do!

Oh my goodness! A must in Marseille. A French twist to American-style cookies :)…read more The cookies are 2 Euros and they have some cakes for 3.50 Euros. They also have quiche and tons of little drinks for you to try! Go!!!

Ownership change and NAME change to MARROU. Not only has it retained delicious sweet pastries, but…read morenow offers a wonderful selection of perfectly aged cheeses (Mont d'Or my winter favorite) but now there is a choice of prepared deli items. 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!

Depending on timing, places like this can be a hit or a miss, but I fear this was a miss! Stopped…read morein for coffee and a sandwich, and we were drawn into the place by the artsy lighting and the foodie atmosphere. (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.

We happened across this shop while wandering the streets of Marseille. Biy wad I happy that we did!…read morePistacio Hulava (omg...brings back memories of my childhood), petite cookies. All delicious. Certainly stop in. Baklava and every flavor of Turkish Delight you could want!
