Petite MarieBette 105 East Water Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902

"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."

"Don't sleep on Petite MarieBette. The seasonal specials are great and often where I end up vs MarieBette--see the Pumpkin Spiced Latte and Pumpkin filled Brioche Feuilletée. Also featured is the fried green tomato open faced sammich. Savory and sweet are on point. The spot is easy to get to downtown, and offers order ahead for takeout, which is nice. Finding a seat can be a tougher play as it's a smaller space, but mighty nonetheless! Sidenote: I cannot emphasize enough that you can't go wrong at either location, Petite MarieBette or the original MarieBette. They place nicely together."

"This was a late lunch stop after touring Monticello for over 4 hours. The coffee was excellent. Our meals were good, but seemed a little *light* for what is charged. I'd go back again to give them a try for breakfast pastries. Per usual with these bakeries, there wasn't anything left to try but croissants when we arrived, so we passed on that."

"The coffee here is very good. If you order a large it comes with four shots of espresso. The flavor of the coffee is delicious and bold. The food here is also very good. We got the avocado toast which comes with feta cheese which makes it savory and delicious. We also got the fifeville hot sandwich which was delicious as well with avocado and bacon. The egg and cheese sandwich was okay. 2nd visit: Wow this place is absolutely cute! The food is so good and the pastry and coffee are all absolutely delicious. The coffee is bold and rich. They serve their coffee with a small piece of pastry called canales. They serve breakfast and lunch sandwiches here as well as freshly baked pastries and cookies. We like the avocado toast and the fifeville sandwich. It's a juicy smoked turkey sandwich with avocado bacon tomato, etc. Must I say more. My favorite is the Apple puff pastry. It is delicious and crunchy. I assume all other pastries are just as delicious here. You can't go wrong getting anything at this cute coffee shop. Service is good. If you are in Charlottesville, you should visit this place for great coffee and a quick bite"

"I cannot say enough good things about this awesome spot. It’s the go-to breakfast and lunch spot for our daughter who attends UVA. We eat here every time we visit and it is always perfection. Today we had the egg and cheese sandwich on a pretzel croissant (to die for!), the asparagus quiche (creamy with a flaky crust) a single egg (cooked perfectly) and a sticky bun with pecans (OMG so rich and good). We also had iced lattes (one with oat milk) and a double espresso. It’s a hopping place that is always busy. Don’t miss this gem when you are in Charlottesville!"
