Café Tea Pastries Sandwiches Bakery

Review Summary

Overall Mamie Clafoutis earns praise for high quality baked goods, with standouts like the cinnamon roll, brioche and the ficelle sandwich, and the shop presentation is appealing, but prices are frequently noted as high and some items' sizes have shrunk, which some see as inflation. The dining experience leans takeout only, with no seating and the upstairs area not reopened since the pandemic, diminishing the atmosphere for those who enjoyed eating in. Service is described as helpful and pleasant, though warmth and consistency vary by visit. Some reviews compare unfavorably to other locations or feel the selection is limited near closing, while others remain drawn to the bread and prepared foods. Despite these caveats, the overall quality remains solid and Mamie Clafoutis remains a favorite for sandwiches and pastries, especially among fans of well-made bakery items.View restaurant profile
