The croissant I had was amazing, but I wish I knew what was available before arriving. I saw photos of other things I wanted to try but when I stopped in I found out they only had butter and chocolate croissants to choose from. I wanted to go here to try some of their more unique items that they have on social media but the items I saw in their photos were only available for that day or weekend it was posted, which was not noted in the captions.Overall very disappointed since that’s not an area I go to often.

Desserts are fantastic. However the cardboard name placard should not be on the desserts at all, should be done in a edible medium like chocolate if insisted upon.Cronut was incredibly, incredibly oily. Ate only a small portion, unfortunately.The atmosphere is a bit small, but monitored well with doorstaff to direct the crowd. Not as much a sit and enjoy place as a pickup and go place in busier times.

This was my first visit to their new location. I had no trouble finding a parking spot on a side street and enjoyed chatting with people in line, since I arrived 10 minutes before they opened and was the 8th person in line. Both the staff person outside greeting people and explaining things and the person who waited on me and explained every dessert and baked good so I could decide what I wanted were gracious and pleasant. I was buying desserts to share at a 4 person dinner party and also some treats for breakfast. Everything was delicious. I have never been that into croissants and that’s because I have never had one as good as your chocolate croissant. The desserts were a big hit too. We enjoyed each one spaced out over the course of the evening and I can’t pick a favorite. They were all delicious.

My top favorite pastry place in Minnesota. Never fail to amazed me with tasty treat every time we go in there. The texture and flavour is top notch worth every drive and penny. If you are looking for a bday cake I highly recommend that you get one at Marc Hue. Visit them in the morning so you get more variety of pastries coz when we got there after lunch there are only a few options left for us.

I felt bad cause I was utilizing just a big box for a 1 item…but the experience was nice and the attendant who helped me was great! The product was just a little too dense for me.

This is such a special treat! I personally love the pull aparts which are luxury but a great value too. The flavors always change. A great place to show someone how special they are to you.

I think its great and their staff is great very nice people and I wouldnt take the bad reviews because of simple mistakes like mistakingly forgetting items too seriously its obviously a simple mistake and people just love being negative more than they like being positive the place is very busy people lined up down the block so if its not a matter of the quality of their food its probably not worth the rant the food they sell is amazing the packaging is very cute the coffee is good. They are extremely busy so we never really plan on dining in there just because its crazy busy there but always been very good to go . Id say there are employees who are probably newer so if definitely cut them some slack. Im in my 40s and make mistakes and forget to give people things all of the time. Especially if you have an order of 50 items. I have never had a bad experience here so ill continue visiting weekly as i always do. V

Before Marc Heu relocated to their new locatioon, I've purchased cakes and pastries for the past few years. They're usually exceptional quality and hit the mark. This review is specifically for a 9" Fraisier that I ordered mid-February for a family member's birthday a month ago. *I had received this cake for my birthday and was blown away by how moist, delicious, and balanced it was.* I wanted to share the same experience with family and surprised them with the cake during a dinner out. While I was serving everyone and anticipating for their reactions, I got, 'This cake has good flavor, but is really dry.' My heart sank as I bit into it and it was indeed dry to the bone. The cream didn't touch any of the cake whatsoever and as I continued eating, I noticed the inconsistencies with the stawberries inside - both in size and freshness. Some were slightly frozen, and it happened to be the bigger pieces. I emailed Marc Heu the next day and expected to hear back quickly, however I had to call to ask if they received my email a week or two later and was told by the employee they would contact their manager and get back to me. I had ordered the cake February 17th and didn't receive an email back until March 1st. At this point, I wasn't expecting any response at all, so I guess at least there's that...although I was told they go through 3 levels of quality control, they never use frozen products, and taste is subjective. While I agree with taste being subjective, I've now writing this review because I've been sharing this story with multiple friends and just found out a friend who had ordered this same cake for a family member's birthday in March had the same experience! I question this 3 levels of quality control and taste being subjective when 2 separate groups, one of which included 8+ people experienced the same thing. *So be aware if you plan to spend 75$ on the 9" Fraisier.*

Worth the wait - tried an assortment, everything was outstanding! Koign amon (sp?) was my favorite, but the chocolate crookie was definitely worth the 10 bucks!
If you are looking for a lovely Sunday morning at a bakery, this is not the place. The Patisserie has limited seating and even though it’s was only 10 am, the floors were dirty (chunks of food on the carpets), their available products were displayed directly on the counter (without even a little plate under) and if you wanted to sit down and enjoy a pastry, you have to eat it out of a box they give you. We placed an order for 5 items plus a coffee, received 2 boxes tied with a ribbon and left the store. When you place the order, you work one on one with the wait staff, who reads your order back to you. To our surprise, after driving back home for 40 minutes, we only had 4 items. The raisin croissant was dry; the plain croissant was acceptable but the 2 little ($10 each) desserts were fantastic. I called the store and received a sincere apology from one of the managers. Due to the fact that we were only charged for 4 products, there was no further discounts offered. So, if you live around the area and can swing by for a take out, make sure you open your box before you leave and check your order - otherwise, I would not make it a “destination” place for a French treat.

I tried Marc Heu Patisserie for the first time on 3/9/24 and I am blown away. I tried their March special Carrot Cake Donut, chocolate brown croissant, and passionfruit raspberry tart. Seriously, all 3 of them were delicious. I would go back and get those 3 again plus try a couple other items. The staff who greeted me for my pre-order was extremely courteous. Ordering through Instagram DM was extremely easy. Happy to support a local business too. 100% worth the 20 minute drive across town. Highly recommend.

First off this is 100% based on customer service. Their stuff is actually very good. So to set the stage I live in the Duluth area and was flying home and it was my mother in laws 70th birthday. So my wife order “a-lot” of stuff and I was supposed pick it up. It was pre-paid and went in and they gave me a bag and was off on my way. Now 10 miles on my way home my wife calls that they didn’t give me everything, but I also needed to “hurry” up as they were closing. So I know turn around and rush back and other than a small sorry gave me my stuff and walked out. The amount we spent I would have expect more.
