After an early hospital visit, we decided to have breakfast at Marie Bette, where we hadn't eaten in ages. It was disappointing. The poached eggs came with a cracker-sized corner of bread. We we asked for more to put under the eggs. It took 20 minutes to arrive and the eggs were cold by then. The system of ordering at the cash register was new to us, and the server who brought the food was rude to us. Did I mention that we were charged $4.50 extra for bread? I am handicapped and walk with a cane with great difficulty. Had I been alone, I couldn't have managed the steep steps or ordering AND finding a table. The food is good, but the ambiance is not. My husband and I decided that this is not a restaurant for adults.

Every time i go in there, i find something new! I love the flourless chocolate cake, and they make the BEST iced dirty chais! Everyone there is so helpful and upbeat, and the shop itself is cozy, modern & welcoming. Love coming here for a cup of coffee :)

The cutest little coffee shop around. The food is super tasty and the staff is always nice. I make sure to visit them every time I'm in town.

Exceptional spot to get a pastry + coffee. Worth the wait. The menu has lots to offer and the breakfast sandwiches are divine!

I leave reviews for impactful sites; whether positive or negative.This place is definitely a must. Everything we had was delicious, baked to perfection, flavorful, and tasted BETTER than grandma’s best home cooked meal.The atmosphere is elegant and calm enough to enjoy that soothing freshly made coffee. The staff are kind well deserving of praise in their services(to include the peeps up front and in the back).Overall, I highly recommend coming here for a nice breakfast meal.

We absolutely adored this sweet little bakery & café one block from Charlottesville's bustling Downtown Mall. I had heard about their main location, but this one was right by our hotel, and it was the perfect place to enjoy the morning. There was a consistent line from the time we arrived (around 8:45am) until we left at 10. We were lucky to snag a table in the cozy nook area in the back with cute, colorful pillows - perfect place to read and eat! Every single pastry looked delicious - it was difficult to just pick a few (had to get some extras to bring home, of course) - we decided to split a bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich on their house-made baguette (breakfast perfection - even better with a little Cholula), then we shared the Brioche Feuilletée (filled with bananas foster cream and topped with sugar & caramel drizzle - WOW), a few petit canelés (tiny and tasty), a classic pan au chocolat and raspberry petit kouign amann (saved both for later). The drip coffee was good, but the espresso was even better - I'm glad we grabbed a few cortados on our way out. I will recommend all of MariaBette's locations to anyone going to Charlottesville - it was very memorable!!

Delicious! Staff at this location seem a bit more friendly.
Best coffee shop EVER!! I go multiple times every time I'm in town. Best flavored iced latte I've ever had and the hash is to die for!! Everyone who works there radiates kindness and I've never gotten something I don't love!! You won't regret going, I promise.

a cute cafe in charlottesville. their service was super smiley, friendly and was pleasant. the food and drinks is what puts it over the top. i ordered an iced latte, seasonal honey & sea salt latte, the twin peaks sandwich, and a lorraine quiche. the twin peaks is actually the best tuna salad sandwich ive ever had. the seasonal latte was also perfectly balanced. this place is a must visit in charlottesville

I could survive off petite marie bette alone if I had to. A little dramatic but I frequent often. Lattes are incredible, food is good, and the people are nice. They know what they are doing.

So good. Had the avocado toast with the butternut squash hummus, delicious! The French pastry, perfectly done. Had the Petite cannelé, financier and an amazing Kouign Amann. Everything really tasty and fresh.

Cozy space. Delicious. Yes indeed. Get ready because you have to choose between so many flavors.
