The old bookshop — Restaurant in Marmande

Sad to say that the service was terrible. The coffee owner didn't explain what the cakes were (only after asking she said one word without the detail of the flavour, quite harshly to be honest) when we said we spoke english she seemed to be angry or in a bad mood and the lemonade that I had was not real lemonade but more like 7up. I am not happy at all with my experience here. I don't know if it is because we are not french, because we came at 13:38 and only wanted dessert and a coffee (even though there were a couple other free tables), or who knows. In that case she could have just said they only serve lunch and we would have gone elsewhere. Regardless I am quite sad with the experience especially because she explained the items thoroughly to another group right after us and it made us feel quite disrespected. Even though the cakes were good, I won't be coming back. The experience was quite uncomfortable as we felt...

What a fantastic find this is! Beautiful small tea shop serving a good variety of cakes, pastries, snacks and lunches. Excellent surroundings, beautifully decorated and furnished to maintain the sense of the bookshop it once was, yet contemporary and light. We had the raspberry and ricotta tart which was fresh and utterly delicious! Service with a smile and explanation of products was very welcoming. Bathroom facilities very good and wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend anyone in the area to visit or make a detour if you’re...

We love this little cafe and have visited several times over our holiday. There is a limited but very delicious lunchtime menu - quiches, salads, sandwiches - and everything is very fresh and homemade. The cakes look scrumptious but we haven’t tried anything sweet as we are always too full from the savouries but have heard others murmuring appreciatively. Coffee and tea very good and the lady who runs the cafe is very smiley...
