La Boulangerie Marguerite

Recent adventures got me to stop into a spot I have driven by and thought I need to check them out many many times over the years. Delighted to find such a cute little sweet treat spot. @laboulangeriemarguerite of 📍St. Paul Was full of a French bakery vibe, beautiful treats and the kindest people. I ended up chatting with a few of the staff to hear about what items they enjoy here. Sometimes getting out and talking to strangers can be a great way to change your day around and maybe theirs. I ended up getting a sticky pecan roll and a traditional Bismarck donut. Both were lovely. I definitely will need to get back to try other items this summer!

When i walked in, the person working didn’t acknowledge me even though we were the only two people there. I walked in at 8:15 am and bought a chocolate croissant and a pistachio chocolate croissant. The pistachio croissant was rock hard! But the pistachio and chocolate was good. It was filled with a vanilla like cream and it was okay. It was only partially filled but I wasn’t able to finish it because it was so hard. I could even rip it apart and share with my friend. She had the chocolate croissant and said it was really dry and flaky. Would not go here again and would prefer to go to JS Bean factory down the street.

Walked in to get lemon bars and a raspbery bar. Both ladies working seemed disinterested to my patronage but that's okay. As long as food is good, no matter to me. Unfortunately the food was terrible. I ate one bite of the lemon bar and it was disgusting. Hard as a rock and honestly tasted days old. The plastic fork couldn't cut through it if that says anything. Had to use metal...Really sad they'd sell something like this. I threw the rest of it away. My friend who I bought the raspberry bar for said it also was stale tasting and tough to get through. They threw most of it away. Really terrible experience all around and I doubt this place will do anything to make it right. I'd say avoid this eatery at all costs.

If you get the chance to go to the Northeast location you will have a much better experience, particularly if you would like to sit and enjoy your croissant and coffee. *edited to add, since I am unable to reply: yes this space is small. They have 3 small tables that appear to be for patrons. 2 of the 3 were filled with either personal items from the staff or sleeves of paper cups, etc. The size of the store was not the only issue that took away from the experience. The person helping me seemed put out when I added a loaf of bread to my order (before I had paid), as I was waiting for my beverage, they completely ignored 2 other people who had come into the store (they were NOT making the drinks but rather chatting up the person making the drinks) and lastly my americano was not good. The baked goods are excellent tho.

A very sweet bakery store with lots of baked goods! This bakery does service ice and hot drinks, coffee and espresso with different types of flavors depending on the day. The donuts are very delicious and fresh. All of the bakery is fresh. The croissants were crunchy yet soft in the mouth. You can grab these to go or there are seats and tables outside. Parking is only accessible on the street. Going inside, it is a bit tight. Overall, an excellent place to stop for sweets if you're craving it.
