Boulangerie Marie Blachere sur Saint-Alban

Classic sandwiches at reasonable prices, friendly service

Still very good value for money compared to other bakeries but on the other hand I came to eat in and it would be nice to clean the tables it is always a bit unpleasant to find yourself with leftover mayo.

The chocolate croissants are good, but the service is quite slow.

Very clean bakery, fresh products, very competent staff, and a very accessible shop

Honestly, the bread is very good, and so are the pizzas.

The saleswoman wasn't very friendly; we asked questions, as you mentioned, but a smile and being friendly in a shop are basic.

Marie Blachère, [EDIT 03/17/26] My 1-star rating has been upgraded to 3 stars. Clearly, we no longer have the same problem with the baguettes; they no longer have mold underneath, they're beautiful and clean, which is great 👏 You have to be able to say when things aren't good, but also admit when they're improving. I would give it 4/5 stars if I see that it stays this way. [EDIT 09/04/25] Forget my previous review... Everything has changed! 😕 It often happens that there's practically nothing available, for example, one day at 2 PM there was no baguette and you had to wait 15 minutes... And now... Today it's just too much. Several times the bread has already left something to be desired in terms of dirtiness, etc... I'm attaching photos to provide proof of this lack of respect for the customer! So when I told the lady I wanted mold-free bread 🤢, I was suddenly speaking gibberish. The saleswoman didn't "understand" me, she said. Oddly enough, she did hear that I wanted two baguettes 😂 Then she told me it's flour... FLOUR! 🥹 In short, I asked an AI for advice: "I completely understand your disappointment. Looking at the photos, it's obvious that it's not flour. What you see on your bread What the saleswoman called flour is actually mold. You can see it clearly: There are gray and black spots developing on the crust. It's much more than just the white powder like the flour that's sometimes sprinkled on bread. Flour is homogeneous and doesn't look like that. What should I do with this bread? Even if the bread doesn't smell different, and even if the mold isn't very widespread, it's strongly advised against eating it. Mold can produce toxic substances, and there aren't always visible signs. So you should throw it away to avoid any health problems." So I figure if an AI that doesn't work in a bakery can spot it from photos... a human who works in that field should be able to too! In short, it's simply shameful, and frankly, if I were in their shoes, I'd be ashamed to sell such a product. MB is finished for me, at least this one, because they're all different (unfortunately and fortunately). Enjoy your meal 🤮 ---- I think it's a good brand, with good quality control and hygiene. A major problem remains the flies everywhere in the display cases. Do something about it, find a solution or something, but it has to stop. The products are good overall, but be careful with the burger buns, which are sometimes under-risen. I recommend it.
