Chez Marie Pâtisserie | Waxhaw

Description: A French pâtisserie and café in Waxhaw serving handcrafted pastries, viennoiseries, artisan sourdough breads, sandwiches on sourdough baguettes, crêpes, mousse desserts, macarons, espresso drinks, coffee, tea, and Afternoon Tea in a bright French-inspired setting. The café offers indoor and outdoor seating with a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying breakfast, lunch, coffee, or dessert, and also hosts private events and celebrations. The pastry case features classic French desserts alongside rotating seasonal creations, with everything made from scratch using locally and internationally sourced ingredients.

Comments: All of the seating here has padded backs. Comfortable. Clearly made with the intention of inviting people to stay awhile. And there's plenty of seating, inside but also outside on their spacious patio. Aesthetically, the space is posh. Refined. Classy. Upscale.

There's free Wi-Fi so this is a solid place to plop down and study or work remotely. I've seen a few others doing the same in the times I've gone. The pastries are the highlight here. There's some stuff I don't know the name of that I've never seen anywhere else. And it all looks pretty. There's also coffee, tea, and some light bite sandwiches. Its' all rather expensive though, so if you're on a budget, beware.
