New Eatery Lands Mill Valley In French Pastry Heaven

MILL VALLEY, CA — An appreciation for the complexities of French culinary arts will likely help patrons navigating the newly opened Le Marais Bakery's menu for the first time.

But it’s not a requirement at this gourmet bakery, which officially opened its doors Wednesday at its Mill Valley location at 250 E. Blithedale as the state reopened from the pandemic.

The owners of the bakery bistro are quite confident their simpler offerings will leave customers in pastry heaven, even if that means they’ll be in dire need a few napkins to clean up afterward.

A case in point would be their plain croissant.

“The O.G.,” Le Marais wrote on its Facebook page announcing the opening of its Mill Valley location.

“The vanilla equivalent of croissants. Au beurre croissant. Sometimes it’s sweet, buttery simplicity is the best choice, especially when you pull it apart and get covered in crumbs.”

The Mill Valley location is the company’s fourth. The other three are in San Francisco.
