Bien Mérité Bakery and Restaurant

I ordered a macaron tower from Bein Meirte for $150, expecting a beautiful display for a baby shower. What I received was a 12-inch styrofoam tower held together with toothpicks, with only 33 macarons. The cookies kept falling off, and considering their macarons are about $3 each in-store, I could have bought nearly five dozen and arranged them myself for the same price. I thought the tower would be a good deal, but I was completely wrong—it was an absolute disappointment. To make matters worse, I couldn’t even get in touch with someone who could address the issue properly. After much frustration, I eventually received a 50% refund. While their food is delicious, I cannot recommend their macaron tower—it was a complete waste of money. Buyer beware! If I could post pictures, I would.

I want to start by saying the front of house staff (hosts and servers) were absolutely amazing. Our server, Zee, deserves a full five stars. She was great. The food here is awesome. It’s a gorgeous restaurant. My bad review comes from trying to plan my baby shower here. I would NOT try to plan any sort of large event at this establishment. This took place on 2/8/25. We booked the party room for my baby shower back in January. Sent out invites. Had people coming in from out of town. One week before the shower, the event planner called me (at 8 months pregnant) to tell me the party room had been double booked and we could no longer have it as the other group had booked first. She essentially blamed it on the previous event planner, who had recently quit. I said it was fine, and asked if we could just be put at a reserved table in the party room with the understanding that other people would be in there. She said it was not possible and the entire party room was closed off on the weekends. (This was not true. There were people in the party room when we arrived.) our reservation was for noon. When we got there, the host informed us that a party who had a reservation beginning at 10 was still sitting at our table. We had to wait 30 minutes to be seated, and were not placed at the table that was promised to us (with photos) by the event planner. We were crammed into a small table at the middle of the restaurant which made it very difficult to open gifts. We had a good time and the food was great. At the end of the meal we asked to speak with the event planner to make sure we were not charged for the reserved table since we had to wait 30 minutes to be sat. We were told that the event planner is NOT, in fact, there on the weekends. We were directed to a manager instead. She was very kind and apologetic about the issue. We were not charged for reserving a table. We went and sat back down, only for the manager to come up to us five minutes later and inform us that another party had arrived for their reservation and we were sitting at their table. She said she wasn’t rushing us but that the other party asked if we could hurry up. I was on the fence about writing a review at all and was planning on letting the whole thing go because all the restaurant employees were so apologetic, but that pushed me over the edge. If we had been sat when our reservation started at noon, we would have been done with more than enough time for the table to be cleared and the other party sat. In my experience and opinion the manager could have politely told the other party that things were backed up through the fault of the restaurant. Being asked to, essentially, hurry up and leave after our party room was double booked and then our reservation not honored was extremely frustrating.

Dined in for my birthday- I tried the cinnamon roll latte and not only did it taste AMAZING, it LOOKED adorable! PLUS they give every table a free beignet! If I didn’t have plans afterwards I would have gotten some pastries to go. Definitely going to go back!

Phenomenal food and service!

The place was cute and the food was so delish. We went for lunch and when we walked in, there was a line for the bakery. It was then that we decided to share a meal so we could save room for dessert. Alexus was our server and she did a fantastic job. We ordered the Chef Divanni’s Jalapeno Burger. It was perfectly cooked and amazing. I will make it a point to never share this burger again. ?The pink lemonade was refreshing and not too sweet.
For dessert, we ordered a Abuelita flavored croissant. It was beautifully decorated and delicious. I would highly recommend Bien Merite Bakery and Restaurant.
