Le Marais Bakery — Restaurant in Mill Valley

Very rude service. We got handed hot coffee cups while being expected to order at the same time. It confused me and I obviously had to hold the line behind me to go drop coffees on my table before I could order. The lady at the register started acting very rude asking if I’m bothered by anything and while I as ordering items in English she made sure to ask those in French to show that I’m not naming them correctly.

And normally I treat a salad with passive interest but the perfect! Vinaigrette , mustard spice and pepper made me eat every bite of the greens and tomatoes. Service was professional and actually very friendly. About 44 for my meal not...
