Service is described as warm and efficient, and the space is welcoming, with a small yet pleasant dining area and a strong sense of passion in the products. Reviewers highlight the bread as exceptional, sometimes the best in the area, and some call it a hidden gem or one of their favorite places, with mentions of a Granby expansion and trips from Cowansville.

Café Tea Pastries Sandwiches Bakery

Review Summary

Mamie Clafoutis is described as a beloved bakery and cafe for many, known for exceptional pastries, breads and croissants, with favorites like the Oh Mon Dieu croissant and a standout kouign amann, plus trusted pistachio tarts and chocolate filled treats. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm and charming, and the food quality remains high even after renovations, though several reviews mourn a shift away from a personal, neighborhood feel toward a self service model. The new concept emphasizes speed and convenience, with some customers noting an impersonal, supermarket like vibe, higher prices, and limited seating, while others appreciate the self serve option and the ability to warm or self-serve certain items. A coffee machine is often highlighted as a standout feature, adding a wow factor to the experience. Overall, pastries and breads are praised as top notch, and the place remains a go to for morning bites, but there is a clear desire for a middle ground that preserves warmth and human service while keeping the modern efficiency.View restaurant profile
