    I went there with my wife for the Valentine's Day event that included six decadent little meals (salad, soup, finger sandwiches, scones, cake) paired with a delightful assortment of teas. It was wonderful, and so was the experience, which included a live violinist. Top notch!

    “Johnny the Troublemaker” gave us such a good afternoon hot chocolate experience! We were able to sample a lot of different hot chocolates and enjoyed the treat of the scones, MarieBelle specials, and tropezienne. We will definitely return for other visits!
