No greeting as I walk in. No smile as I order, no suggestions from staff when asked.Received an undercooked pain au chocolat, and a crustless sourdough round. At first I thought I might have received a different style of bread, nope, just dry, low quality sourdough.

Fabulous pastries and croissants. Love their morning rolls and chocolate croissants especially.

This bakery has amazing pastries, we tried the cinnamon bun and the apple fritter which were wonderful. I can't wait to come back and try more items. Their coffee was great too and prices very reasonable.

We come to this bakery often and always have a good experience (their apple fritters are to die for!) and today when I stopped by, they said they had to close early due to events outside of their control, but handed me a box full of 2 dozen croissants and donuts for my trouble. Total day maker! I didn’t get my apple fritter today, but I’ll certainly be back :) Excellent local business with A+ food and service!

Drove 20 mins to try this place in which they were just closed for no reason. Hours on google nor the website were changed to reflect this. Waste of time.

Good things first, nice atmosphere, nice menu, nice location and vibe.For bad things, I just went in for a second time in a row to find that the açaí bowl is sold out AFTER I already pay for my order.It's the one thing in the menu I really want and drive over in the snow to get. At least put a sign up to show it's sold out so I can walk in and walk right out again.Instead I had to swap out for a food I didn't even want rather than deal with a charge back. Now I have a half eaten panini I am throwing out as all I was hungry for is some vitamins and fruit. At a minimum, just have a "sold out" notice in the wall menu, that's all I ask for.

Delicious croissant savory. Wide baked goods assortment and coffee bar. Nowhere to sit. No decaf espresso options. Reasonable prices.

I love this new little spot! They have a large variety of sweet and savory pastries that rotate, along with breakfast standards and soups too. They’re always friendly, not pretentious and quick. Also as someone with some sensory things going on I appreciate that it’s never super loud or over crowded.

What a disappointing experience we had here! This is the new NE location we decided to try out. Long-time NE residents, we decided to check out the new French bakery. My husband is also an amateur baker& has made his own starter from scratch& his bread is really good! His rounds come out with a nice crust, lots of air pockets & a very springy interior. But sometimes, keeping a starter going is a pain, so he was interested in maybe getting a starter from a bakery. We called a NE bakery& they said they would sell him some, but he thought he might see if Marguerite’s might have some for sale. So we walked in, checked out their bread& pastries in the case, they looked good! We were planning on buying a round& maybe a pastry, so we asked the counter person if we could get some starter. He was confused& said “I have no idea,” and I suggested he ask someone. One of the owners was sitting at a table& I smiled& waved& he walked over to her& asked& she said no. That’s all cool, because I can understand if bakery’s don’t want to sell starter, it is their business after all, tho we buy plenty of artisan bread from different places, Eastside Co-op being one. Then their “marketing manager” came over to the counter to help the counter person deal with us I guess, tho we were very pleasant& had already picked out a round of bread & a scone to buy. We asked her about the starter & she was very cool about the whole thing, not friendly at all& so we left with the bread& the scone. The counter person wasn’t very good at customer service either, not giving us a smile or enthusiastic greeting on arrival& being very lackluster after our transaction. They also have the tip option on check-out& I tipped 15%, which was more than they deserved. Overall, not a friendly place at all! Then the bread: no wonder they don’t sell starter, because their bread didn’t have any natural leavening &wasn’t very good at all! It was “sourdough” and it tasted like sourdough, but the interior was dry& dense& there was no springiness. A little crust but that didn’t help this bread. The scone was decent, but you can get those anywhere-Sarah Janes bakery NE, makes a better one. The round of bread was 6.75, so save your money& go to the Co-op, and get good artisan bread for cheaper! Could almost overlook the mediocre bread, and come in again& try something else, but with the horrible customer service, we won’t be back! I can’t see this place succeeding.
It was just ok. Not the best croissant nor the bread. I had butter croissant and olive loaf.

Fantastic. Like any true bakery the selection dwindles as the day goes on, so get there early and bask in the full range of options. Delicious chocolate croissants. Also had one with ham in it (!?) and was unexpectedly yum. Friendly staff. Good coffee. Outdoor seating when weather allows. Highly recommend.

So great for LBM to cross the river! Delicious pastries, new menu offerings, and grab and go items paired with their breads perfect for a picnic!!

I unfortunately had a really terrible experience here recently. I ordered four dozen items, five days in advance, to have for a post-wedding brunch. I confirmed several times over the phone when I ordered what I wanted and also paid in advance (a substantial amount). When I went to pick up the order as scheduled, nothing was ready. There was confusion amongst the staff when I arrived, I was asked my name several times for them to go back-and-forth to look for the order, and nothing could be found. I waited several minutes. They showed me an invoice they had for my order, which was incorrect, but despite even having the invoice at their shop nothing at all could be found for me. Staff called their manager, and I had to leave because I was short on time, had people arriving at my home and expected my order to be ready as scheduled. I get a call forty minutes after I was supposed to pick up my original order and was told that they were going to throw something together for me. Since it was last minute, I did not get specific items that I had ordered five days prior and had to settle with items they had in stock that morning.Then comes the terrible customer service with the whole ordeal. I spoke with the manager, Deb, earlier the next week about my issue and experience. After explaining the situation and how frustrating it was, I was told she could offer me a $15 gift card for my partner and I to "come in for a couple pastries and a coffee." I said that wasn't a very good resolution given the circumstances and the huge error that was made. Deb told me she would contact me "in a couple days" to let me know what they could do, as she had to talk to her manager about it. I told Deb via text later that day I thought a refund of some sort would be more appropriate. Three, four and five days go by. Finally, after nearly a week, I reached back out to Deb asking for an update, since I hadn't heard anything from her, and that I would like to resolve this issue. Again, I was told they could do nothing more than offer a $15 gift card or $15 refund on the order.The lack of basic customer service was extremely aggravating for us. We used to go to La Boulangerie Marguerite often and were planning on making future orders with them; however, the utter lack of importance they put into my issue and the bare minimum resolution to try to keep us customers after their significant error has caused them to lose our business. I guarantee they have lost out much more than $15 of our future business, and they would have been able to keep us as continued customers if they made us feel a little more valued given their mistake, especially when none of it was our fault.I would be HIGHLY cautious in placing orders with this business.

We went around 10am and they had almost nothing left. The almond croissants were pretty dry too.
