20/02/2026: Review February 19, 2026:
Back at this bakery that I'd been boycotting since April 2025, following some real disappointments with the bread and especially the clafoutis.
For regulars, yes… it's indeed "Monsieur Clafoutis" who's back—a nickname the manager gave me back then, since I was buying between 6 and 8 a week, not counting the bread every other day and the pastries.
While browsing their website, I noticed the clafoutis of the month. I saw peach clafoutis, and I thought: let's give it a try.
When I got there, it turned out to be… apricot. I bought two anyway.
And then, a pleasant surprise: there was apricot. I'm clarifying because, at one time, it was more like a flan than a clafoutis, with two apricots practically fighting each other… This isn't the case here; it's a proper clafoutis, filled as it should be. I, we, tasted it: it's good, it's a winner 😋
I took the opportunity to get some more bread: also good, even though we've gotten used to S.'s bread for almost a year now.
A special mention also goes to the saleswoman, a new customer for me: very pleasant and very smiley. 👍🏼
I had given it 1 star in April 2025, but I'm now upgrading to 4 stars, because it's important to acknowledge improvements, even if I missed… the peach 🍑.
I'll write another objective review in a while to see if the quality and, above all, the consistency are there. Otherwise, I'll simply go back to S…, where I've been satisfied.
Review April 2025: This bakery is past its prime. The service is almost unpleasant. Half the time the bread doesn't have the same texture.
As for the cakes, they're never the same quality.
When you complain, they don't even listen. I'm giving up on this bakery. There are better ones in the area. No loyalty card offered.
15/12/2025: Besides being excellent, Marie baguettes freeze beautifully and defrost at room temperature while retaining all their qualities.
