Boulangerie Marie Blachere sur Valence

Usually satisfied, and never buying pain au chocolat, I should have left it at that. However, I made that mistake this morning, and now I'm left with pastries that taste like they're from the day before, with a crust that's completely crumbling because they're so dry and frankly not fresh. It's just unacceptable. I'm not paying attention to anything that's already wrinkled and overcooked just by looking at it. I wasn't paying attention today. I find the quality is declining month by month, so I'm going there less and less. Anyway, the rest is okay, so I'll give it 4 stars, but still. If I may: pastries left behind a window in full sun for 12 hours are not appealing. They dry out, and it's almost unhygienic because I don't even want to imagine the temperature of pastries that are supposed to be kept clean.

2 wraps and 1 flavored water = €12. Still outrageous, but I had no choice but to go. The young man was very friendly and smiling.

Convenient and easy to access when heading south. A fill-up, a stop at Marie Blachère, and then it's back south ;)

A very friendly young man served me. His smile was pleasant.

Strategically located, it has several drawbacks: no shaded terrace during the heatwave, no parasols on the outdoor terrace, and no outdoor misting system. Customers don't stay to eat outside, which is a shame; the establishment should consider this to retain its loyal clientele.

Outstanding bread and cake shop, closecto Autovía.

So I stopped by yesterday with my family for a short break, and the saleswoman was very kind and helpful. We need more people like this young woman. Anyway, well done to her, keep it up! 😂

I went to pick up an anti-waste package.

Everything your heart desires. You can even sit outside when the weather is nice. But it's still just a bakery. Everything is very tidy and fresh. Too few seats for its size.

Bread too expensive, otherwise okay
