First of all: TWO FOR ONE HAPPY HOUR from 4-7pm on coffee drinks!! Other perks include free wi-fi, comfy seating indoors and out, gelato, gift shop, and parking lot. I've been going to this place since it opened several years ago and it has been getting better and better! It is half shop and half cafe. The shop half has gifts and items for the home, including some furniture (mostly for the patio) and plants. There is a lot of variety and everything is really unique, so it's a great place to pick up a gift -- anything from a card or plant to a lamp or painting. The cafe is my favorite part because it also has a lot of options. Besides a full coffee menu (including flavored lattes and ice blended drinks), Marie et Cie also offers a wide selection of gelato, baked goods & pastries, and fresh deli items. Vegetable quiche, tofu caserole, lasagne, cucumber salad, marinated veggies, and stuffed grape leaves are some examples of the freshly prepared foods available. These are Whole Foods-type fare, only tastier and more reasonably priced! They also sell prepackaged sandwiches, wraps, health bars, and italian sodas. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside has plush sofas, chairs, and tables. Outside offers iron chairs and benches with floral cushions, umbrellas, and heat lamps. Everything about this place is inviting, from the humorous marquee messages on the corner (of Colfax and Riverside) to the warmth of the decor. There is a lot and also ample street parking on Colfax and nearby side streets. Marie et Cie has the same ambience and similar features to nearby Aroma cafe, only it is less crowded and more affordable. Try it today!
