Our friends recommended us the Marie Blachere location in Manhattan and we visited the Great Neck location on our way to Garden City. The decor is wide-spaced and cozy with a lot of indoor & outdoor seating. The environment and ambiance is perfect as a place for breakfast or afternoon tea.Their pastry & bread options were various and we had 4 different pastries: Almond Croissant, Sugar Brioche, Blueberry Scone & Cinnamon roll. The pastries were overall not memorable and the price was kind of high with its portion in our opinions. Our favorite was the Sugar Brioche, which is soft & puffy but the delicacy of its texture wasn’t comparable with our other go-to bakeries.

I visited this bakery for the first time today and had a positive visit—excellent customer service from the staff.I had a cherry yogurt turnover and a tart of some sort. I forgot the name. Both were very good with the right amount of sweetness. The apple tart was slightly caramelized at the bottom.I also had leek and Parmesan puff along with a tomato and olive, spinach, and feta puff. I waited until I got home because I knew they would taste better warmed up. I bit into the puff cold and knew right away I should wait.I am not sure if I could have it warmed up at the store, but I’m pretty sure I could. It would be nice if staff suggested that option.Overall, I had a great experience; all and items consumed were tasty and enjoyable.This location also offers catering services and a daily happy hour menu from 4 pm -6 pm.Rooftop seating available!!!

Place was nice, food was delicious. We were a party of 3 purchasing separately, but only one of us was asked if we would like our order warmed up, my friend got a warm spinach puff while I was not offered that option. The Asian employee serving me did not offer. The young lady behind the counter tending to my friend DID ask. Warm is better, so make sure to ask them if they dont offer. Cute paper bags, nice decor. We bought quite a few things so I wont list them all, but all tasted very good.

Delicious matcha latte with oat milk and other alt milk options! Woman that served me was really nice but theres a man thats kind of rude. Atmosphere is clean and friendly. Wish there were some gluten free options for food! Their baked goods look beautiful though.

We had MB Great Neck cater our son and DILs wedding brunch at our home. We were beyond pleased with the food...! Delicious, beautifully presented and easy to serve (and Covid safe too). We would wholeheartedly recommend MB for any event you have coming up. And in fact we are looking for an excuse to have another one--this time maybe just for us! Thank you MB Great Neck for excellent service and wonderful food!

Different breads, puffs, pastries. Not as many tarts this time. But had mini pizzas. Prices a little on the high side but good if you want to give yourself or someone a little treat.

Top quality baked bread and pastry. Half price for everything half an hour before closing.

Did not know Marie Blachere opened this store in Long Island, pretty clean and spacious. All the croissants, turnovers, danishes are calling my names and asked me to take them all home. The fruit tarts is unbelievable delicious, especially the crust and worth to go back too. Forgot to mention, they run a special on the whole tart, about 10 inches tart for $10... where else could you go and get a full size fresh fruit tart with $10 in Great Neck?!

I had such a bad experience! They open at 7am and I came there at 7:30am and half of their pastries/bake goods were not yet ready! I work in the same environment so i know that when you open you should have everything ready for the customers. I decided to just buy large hot chocolate and it was awful! It taste nothing like a hot chocolate. You cant even taste the chocolate itself, only milk! And took freaking almost 15 mins for that when they werent busy. I was so excited to come to this place knowing they serve a lot baked goods. Such a dissapoinment!

Welcome to Great Neck! Been wanting a good bakery for years!!Baguettes are usually fresh at 8 am. Most of the other pastries and bread is already out by 6 am. If they publish a schedule of when they bread is hot out of the oven I would love this.I like how they do half baked options because you can buy them and freeze then bake it later in the morning to have something amazingly fresh in the morning. (Baguettes to make from scratch takes like a whole day!)They also have a 50% off bin for old bread, which is good for cooking (meatballs, banana bread, etc)

Great place!! Fresh and delicious bake goods. 30 minutes before they close everything goes on sale for 50% off to ensure they have fresh goods the next day. Employees are nice and helpful .

This is a French Bakery Chain, but actually the first store of the Brand in the USA. Great pastries, various fruit tortes and a variety of sandwiches. All of which are worth a try! They have a good choice of cafe and cafe drinks, worth a visit!

This place the bomb. Pastries are too legit for Great Neck - I don’t know what we did to deserve this place in our town. Also, super nice. It has a rooftop.

Poorly prepared and hastily thrown together sandwich served by an indifferent staff. Good bread but if you want a nice lunch, why bother with this place?

Came at 10:30 AM; I was the only one in the bakery!!! Asked for a baguette sandwich (about fifty baguettes were available). Answer... “we do not make sandwiches now”.. Not sure why I give it two stars, maybe I am in a good mood..

Pastries are delicious, definitely try their brownies. Place is clean and there is plenty of sitting area if you want to eat in.

I heard the rumors and heard to sr for myself.... yes, they are true!!!OMG....I made my first visit yesterday ro check out Marie Blachere and as soon add I stepped through the all glass front door, my senses were wowed by the smell of baking breads and looking st all the tasty treats. And best of yet, I think that their prices are amazing as well!After walking around and taking it all in, I decided to try their pizza, which was delicious, even though I expected the crust to have more of that crunch texture.... not enough to take away a star however. What I really wanted to dig into were the breads that just looked out of this world amazing with a crusty top that you can just die for. The Croissants looked amazing as well. Many of the items are buy 3 get 1 free.The tarts looked amazing as well and their sandwiches are tremendous and a great deal at $7.Now my problem is... how many troops will it take for me to try everything!!!@ Yum Yum!

2020.01 great bakery. Fruit pie is plain strawberry, raspberry,pear, or peach. Taste delicious, not super sweet. 20 per pie regular or half price after 730pm. I also tried croissant is a bit expensive, 4.90 for a almond Chico.

Great food, lazy, rude and incompetent service .8:05 Monday morning. Empty store . Empty sandwich counter . I asked the counter boy to fix me a quick salmon/croissant sandwich . He said I had to wait one hour . A manager, rude French lady refused to prepare a sandwich. she said that she was too busy to help me.I have been buying there, three- four times a week, since the place opened. Thanks to todays great customer experience, and a complete lack of management skills, there will be no customary 15% tip added to the bill. :((((

Went for a breakfast date. Absolutely loved our pastries. Very quick and efficient service. The servers were very helpful in explaining what types of bread and dessert there was.Great COVID standards. Everything was spaced out for seating indoors. Incredibly clean!Def recommend for a quick pick me up dessert.

Decent,but unfortunately they really increased their prices.

Excellent boulangerie. Baguettes fresh and very reasonably priced - 4 for 6.60. No two look alike, and three levels of hard/soft. Also, very good clafouti - just $12 for a whole pie.

Great vanilla and chocolate gelato and mix berry sorbetto

Love this place. Their breads are delicious. Viking is the King. Another great food is their sandwiches served on delicious freshly baked croissants - egg salad and tomato, smoked salmon and avocado, turkey and cheese. I love them all. Added bonus - roof terrace. Really nice and relaxing.

Great French bakery 👌 and they serve Joes Coffee. Definitely going back.

Twice now the employee has been Soooo rude and unprofessional! Went last week with my husband and was told No coffee! This is late afternoon ?? But she made us Lattes?? Ok! This location in Great Neck has a roof top garden, my husband and I wanted to go up, worker said No, its closed, again like 6pm at night, sign and website says open till 8pm?? She gave no reason? Ok, we leave with our food, the only positive experience we had was the food.

The Lemon Tart is my fav!

The desserts are delicious, but they are not at all observing sanitary and protective measures for the COVID crisis .

Saw the reviews and wanted to try out the place. Got chocolate croissants & apple turnovers. Nothing special. Apple turnever was filled mostly with apple sauce as another reviewer mentioned & not much of it. Chocolate croissant wasnt very good. Not flaky at all & chewy. Agree with employees not being too friendly. Not worth the drive.

No one in the store, plastic barrier in between us, refused to serve me without a mask, as a result they lost a loyal customer, will not buy there again

Best bakery but the teenagers who work there never smile and aren’t friendly- even though I’m in there all the time. It’s weird.

Fresh breads 🍞every day

Below zero customer service

Cozy place. But no heating outdoor

Great stuff. Quick in and out

Best French bakery on Long Island. The food is the same as Paris bakeries

Their breads and pastries are fresh, crusty, glutinous, buttery and most of all...delicious!

Fresh everything. fantastic bakery

The food is very average. The pastries look beautiful but our server manhandled and mangled them when putting it into the bag without a second thought. Was even more disappointed when I bit into the scarred apple turnover to discover it was filled with apple sauce. The pastry dough itself is nice but the fillings seem very cheap. Feels overpriced because of how unremarkable the pastries tasted.

Fresh, delicious pastries. Amazing baguettes. Their apple turnovers are the best!

Heading back Thursday with my wife... She is picking up some goodies for her co workers at the hospital where she works.. Im coming along to get some authentic French Bread and pastries for us too! We have a home in France and Marie Blachere is up to par with our local bakeries in the Loire Valley ....So glad they are open for walk in customers now. But the online ordering was a great experience during Covid. Great Job Erica is doing with her team there!

Croissants are amazing, sandwiches are too but the service is horrible. Every employee looks like they hate their job or is lost. I try to come in quickly to grab some lunch and it takes over 10 minutes to purchase a pre-made sandwich from the fridge. Leaving this review because its happened more than once.

Came with my husband and 3 kids excited to try the place and was surprised at how disgusting the bathrooms were. It Looked like it hasn’t been clean in weeks. A total turn off!!! If I could post pictures I would but too disgusting to post. The space was pretty and the staff was nice. Needs more variety. 2 prepackaged sandwiches???? A 10oz water bottle or a can of soda $2.50??? juice $5.00 seriously!!It claims to be a sandwicherie with no sandwich. More creativity needed as far a food. Bread very delicious and cookies hard as rock. The coffee is not tasty and the pictures shown above are very deceiving. Not what I saw at the place. Wonder if it’s from somewhere else. Will not visit again.

Excellent quality and big variety French baked goods, at a very reasonable price (they even have a50% of section,and 50% off the last 30 minutes theyre open). It has a very cool modern vibe. I will definitely be back.

Tasteful baked goods 👍 Enjoyed their Chicken Alfredo Pizza soft crust bread. Comfortable seating at the rooftop of their establishment.

Love everything about marie blancherie

Awful coffee. I ordered large sized iced latte. Generally 3shots for large sized but only 2shots in here. It tastes like coffee milk not latte.Tart is good though.

Its a 10 all around. I had a sandwich and we took a few baked goods home. Felt heavenly biting into the sandwich and the baked items. This got to be the best bakery on LI.

I am addicted to Marie Blachere and I’m usually not a big bake goods person. The almond croissants are amazing. We also love the peach tart and bread. This has become a weekly run for us – which is not good for my diet.

Best boulangerie on Long Island that I know of. Get your croissants, escargots, baguettes, etc. here you wont be disappointed. Its just expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Love the chicken salad sandwich, the cookies and brownies.

Walked into store and was blown away by the incredible assortment of bread and pastry . I was unsure how or what to order, no one was waiting on line besides myself and I was completely ignored by the 20 people working there, I walked out and quiet enjoyed the smell of croissant during exit. Look forward to sharing my experience with my coworkers . Thank you

This place is nothing but amazing and incredibly delicious. The plain and chocolate croissants are heavenly!!!!!! The other items look incredible as well. Not only that, the staff is extremely sweet & accommodating, which is extremely important. Will definitely be returning!

Just paid $2.20 for a rock hard baguette..why?definently not made fresh everyday, only a few items probably.

The desserts are delicious, but they are not at all observing sanitary and protective measures for the COVID crisis . I walked In today and the girl at the cash register who also handles the food had no mask on. I called the .6th precinct and the officer said he would send someone to speak to them. I left the store in a hurry and called and spoke to a manager who maintained the girl was changing her mask. But then how could she be handling food and taking money. Lame excuse I am a retired Great Neck teacher and 47 year resident of this community. This was a blatant Threat to mine and other patrons health. The irony is there is a sign outside the store stating, “Patrons should wear masks”

I like their breads, pie tarts and quiches. My daughter loves their brownies. I hope this place stays as all the good bakeries from the past are gone. I like that their pie crust taste like they contain real butter as many bakery goods taste like they hardly use butter. Tge staff are all nice.

I love this place! Great foods, pastries, and breads! One thing i find weird is that there’s no cheesecake! I would’ve thought any bakery would have that considering people in great neck are always craving a good cheese cake. I don’t know why, maybe its that the bakers are not experienced enough. Other than that, great place! Would reccomend

Surprisingly large bakery off Middle Neck Road. Recommend the almond croissants highly. Grab a fresh baguette or loaf while there.

A happy and needed addition to Great Neck.The pastries, sandwiches and other baked goods are wholesome, delicious and offer an authentic taste of France--all for very affordable prices.The French staff is courteous, skilled and committed--very professional. The local hires are friendly and hard working.Marie Blachere is now my favorite and happiest place in Great Neck to grab a bite, get a coffee and meet friends.I cant wait until rooftop patio opens!Thank you for bringing such a gem to Great Neck!

I placed an order on line for pick up so that I would not have to wait indoors during a time when many like myself are still concerned about COVID. I received a call saying Linzers are out of stock so I asked the girl to double the beignets I ordered in place of the linzer. Upon picking up my order, I was charged for linzers on the receipt so I called the bakery to try to rectify this. The phone rings and rings without anyone picking up so I went inside the store where I explained to an employee what had happened. She spoke to the girl who handled my order and then told me I have to wait on line for everyone before me to be served before I could get refunded. I could not believe she told me that! Basic customer service!! If you make a mistake, you apologize and fix it right away. When its finally my turn, after she served 6 other customers in front of me, Isabelle, the cashier continues to disagree that she did anything wrong. No apology. I leave the bakery flustered but checked my refund receipt. Guess what??! Isabelle refunded me the wrong item on my receipt!! Complete incompetence. Managers, please train your employees about customer service! And if you find that your inventory is not matching up to your sales, you know exactly why.

In the interest of good spirited constructive criticism I offer these comments: 1) Get rid of the pastry, sandwich, salad counter and put more badly needed tables there. 2) Sell all food from the main counter and keep it stocked. The sandwich counter was out of all varieties the two time we went there and that separate counter wasnt staffed well. 3) Remove pizza from the menu as NY has too many better offerings in that area. With that I think youll do great and I wish you luck!

The BEST part, its NOT Parve, THANK YOU.We DONT need another kosher place in Great Neck.I went there today for the first time. The place looks amazing. The selection is great.I had the baguette with fresh mozzarella tomatoes which it was fresh and delicious. The croissants were wow.I will definitely be back in this place.

If you enjoy great bread and pastry, this is the best place to go to. Also the pies look terrific. Excellent sandwiches are also available. Easy to understand why this chain is so successful in France.

Visited today for the first time with a few friends. Very impressed with the selection of yummy breads, tarts, pies, croissants and dessert offerings. Unimpressed with pizza (looks stale) and the seperate counter with wraps & salad. Also unimpressed with the staff. They are not organized and a bit rude When asked for coffee larger then the small cup my friend had bought I was still given a small cup. The ordering process was a bit chaotic. A few mistakes were made. And the $7+ avocado /salmon wrap was mediocre. I agree with another reviewer. More tables on the first floor would be nice. I would visit more often if the staff was nicer. I would also visit more of there were healthier options on the menu. May find back and edit the review of I experience better service

Fantastic French bakery in Great Neck that most do not know about but should check out. Their daily fresh baked bread is out of this world and so is their brownies!

Ever since leaving Europe, Ive longed for a local place where I could get bread, pastries, sandwiches and dessert. Now its here! And I love it. Theres a fine variety of all items.

Wow this place is wonderful. I don’t care for sweets but they were very good. The bread is a revelation.The prices are nice to. Service was ok.

Love the pastries, the bread, and the rooftop.

Since I discovered this place, its my bakery to go for bread. Its so amazing! Love their baguettes and the Viking bread.

Was so good! 1st time!

Hope this stays in business. One of the greatest places in great neck

Great idea and taste! We were missing a place with great breads variety and pastries of this sort. Id come here more often if not for the long line...

This is an amazing please good food. HoweverMay i suggest to make your place either kosher or remove any kind of meat or animal oilOr shortening from your products. That certainly brings a big percentage of local people .

A truly continental outpost in the wilds of Great Neck. The pastry is dead on- croissants buttery and flaky, breads appropriately chewy with a nice crumb and baking chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate. Both kids and adults will leave more than satisfied.

Great bread and food

Amazing Boulangerie. Its like walking into a high end bakery in the outskirts of Paris. A feast for the eye as well as your palate. I tried the sourdough bread which was delicious. As well as a mozzarella and tomatoes sandwiche on a baguette; equally appetizing. Great Neck needed a breath of fresh air and they certainly deliver exactly that. The bar has been raised many many notches.

The best opening in Great Neck for many years. Excellent bread and pastries served in new and spacious surroundings. New opening in NYC to add to Maries 400European stores. Bon Chance Marie!

The best bakery in long island.

Bad service and unkind employees. the bread is good

The tastiest (not the sweetest) desserts and great staff. Try the pizza too!

I tried to come here twice and I just find it weird.It’s a humongous spot that offers a variety of food but it’s like a bakery and restaurant at the same damn time.Parking is shared with the bank, but you can’t in certain areas.The food smells good but the lines can be obnoxious.I walked off twice.

The best French boulangerie here in Long Island. Good baguettes and croissants

Their baguettes are perfectly crunchy. And their pastry is out of this world!

I tried one of the sandwiches which tasted like a rock and I also tried the pizza which I can make better in a lunchables packet

Wow! Authentic French bread and tarts. I was just in Paris and this place in Great Neck brought back happy memories. Great prices and specials too.

Commercial French bakery.Unfortunately has limited items and took at least 2 item off from their list.Could be more productive if had better management and didnt opened rooftop yet?!!!.As of last two weeks they keep burning breads( energetic bread) which clearly cause cholangiocarcinoma.

Fresh and delicious pastries.

Fantastic selection of French breads catering to the kosher community.

Three star because only 3 people, and there were over 15-people on line, the wait was over 30-mintues.

Wow wow wow wow ! Did I mention wow bestcroissant I have ever had. The almond tart is delicious. Great addition to Great Neck . Everything we had was delicious.

Excellent pastries and brownies!!

Hi quality, French style, baked breads and cakes. However, limited availability of small, individual French classic items such as eclair or Opera. Coffee is available only in paper cups and theres no sitting accommodations.

They have beautiful pies! And all the people was so nice and helpful.

Marie Blachere is awesome! Welcome to Great Neck! The food is out of this world and the atmosphere is terrific!

Delicious food, reasonable prices and above average customer service.

Excellent quality! My kids love the pastries and fresh bread.

They received only three stars because online they make it seem like they sell cakes, but they don’t (or not as of yet). But the croissants and such are phenomenal.

Top quality French bakery. Cant beat them.

Very good baguettes!

I have been here two times now and I really want to like this place, but I dont. The staff is nice, the bread and pastries great, but the process of queuing up, ordering and paying is chaotic and takes a really long time.
