Maison Villatte

This pastry shop is amazing. The variety of pastries seems endless. They have savory and sweet. Prices are very reasonable and their shop is located in the cutest dwntwn area! I highly recommend.

Walking into this bakery felt like stepping into a charming café tucked away in the heart of France. The air was warm with the scent of buttery croissants and fresh espresso—instant happiness! I tried the almond croissant and a raspberry tart, and both were absolutely divine. Flaky, rich, and full of flavor in every bite. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has such a cheerful, cozy vibe. Whether you’re grabbing a quick treat or sitting down with a latte to soak in the atmosphere, this bakery is pure joy. Can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. A true gem!

I’m ashamed to say how many times we went back to this bakery during our short stay in Falmouth, but it was just that good. We had lattes, breakfast croissants, and macaroons. Everything was excellent. The macaroons are the best I’ve ever had, with the lemon macaroon being my favorite. There will be a line anytime you go. Wait in the line, you won’t be sorry.

How did I not know about this incredible bakery!!! I've been coming to Martha's Vineyard for most of my life and somehow missed that this gem for TWELVE YEARS until they opened the 2nd location in Woods Hole last summer. I feel in love. It's so delicious and I haven't had a single thing I didn't love there. It's easily the best French pastries I've had outside of France. I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes baked goods.

What a great place! Absolutely love it. Great selection and service, good value. We bought quiche, croissants and pastries. Everything was delicious. Thank you! Will be back.

Maison Villatte charmed us all! The staff were incredibly friendly and patient. It was pretty busy an hour before closing. My daughter declared it was “just like being in Disney” as she picked out her dessert. The variety of pastries and breads was impressive, from classic croissants to unique fruit tarts. Everything looked and tasted divine. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious treats made it a perfect family outing. Highly recommend for a little slice of Parisian magic!"

Beautiful display of pastries and sandwiches. The cream puff, strawberry tart and croque monsieur sandwich were delicious. The restroom was clean and handicapped accessible.

The pastries are so good it made me cry! The amount of effort that went into each and every one of these perfect delicacies is of the highest class. It is a destination that I have planned vacations around because to not go here would be the biggest opportunity wasted. If you are in the area and are looking for the most amazing desert of your life, make sure you go here. The staff are nice and knowledgeable, and can help you decide exactly what you are looking for. Thank you for being here!

Stopped in here quick on a little day trip to Falmouth.. They have a ton of options and boy, the Pistachio Almond Tarte is not one to miss. It's beautiful, and it's got such a nice flavor. It's not overly sweet, the pistachio flavor is able to shine through and it goes well with the slight sweetness and acidity of the apricots. The pasty itself is buttery, crisp, and very tasty. We also grabbed a chocolate chip cookie which was frankly more pretty than how it tasted. It was no doubt a solid cookie but it was more or less a plain ol' chocolate chip cookie. It did have a nice texture though. Crisp edges and the semi-sweet chocolate chunks irregularly sided and spread through the cookie are exactly how I like them. Plan on a line when you come in here, it moves quick as there are lots of folks behind the counter ready to help. It's currently November, so not sure if they adjust things for the winter but there isn't any seating inside. Just a long line that snakes around the store. There are some benches towards the library across the street though, plenty of places to grab a seat and enjoy your pastry and coffee.

The bread, Sandwiches and pastry are all delicious! This place gets very busy in summer so they now have another location in Woods Hole which is open 7 days a week.

We drowned in fine chocolate at Madison Villate. In a good way! The line was long but moved quickly enough. Standing in line gives you enough time to look through their display case and make decisions so that when you're up, you can order what you want quickly. We got three chocolatey goodies - the mousse with raspberry, the tart, and duo. All three were tasty! The chocolate was rich and indulgent. Each one felt like it was better than the previous. The tart was my favorite. Keep in mind that some of these (like the mousse) melt over time, so don't leave them out for too long. We also wanted coffee and paid for it. But it turned out that they would have to brew a fresh pot which takes some time. The lady who was serving us offered us a refund since we were in a hurry. I appreciated her quick thinking and customer-centric service!

Wow! Is all I can say! Foodie variety overload! From the sandwiches to the pastries to the coffee! You'll need a minute to decide what you want from all of this freshly made yumminess!

Another visit, more good eats! Right on Main Street of Falmouth.we always have some lunches and snacks. The seating is all outside and mostly in the park across the street. Casual and good for take out but beautiful French specialties.

Sometimes I visit a food establishment that makes me want to lower all of my other ratings by a star. Maison Villatte is one of those places. I'm a sucker for meat and cheese combined with excellent bread/pastries, and Maison Villatte has so many items that fit the bill and blow everything else I've had in the past out of the water. They have excellent pastries with excellent flavors. Falmouth has become a top road trip destination for me because of Maison Villatte alone. My favorite item that I had was the ham and cheese croissant -- it's huge with infinite buttery flaky layers, crispy cheese on the outside, and delicious ham and cheese inside. We were lucky to get a hot one, and finished it immediately. I heavily considered buying another one when we stopped by the Woods Hole location a couple of hours later (despite having multiple other meat+cheese items to finish). The Parisien baguette sandwich (ham, cheese, butter) was also excellent, and I really enjoyed the bacon and cheese fougasse as well (though the bacon we got had much more fat than meat). We also got the focaccia sandwich with prosciutto and tomato sauce, and the focaccia had very nice air bubbles. We also tried the pain au chocolat, which was unsurprisingly delicious, and the chocolate raspberry genoise, which was perfectly smooth and decadent. I have heard that their coffee is not the best. I tried a bit of the strawberry chocolate mocha, and while the coffee flavor is mostly masked by the sweet flavors, it is not the best I've had. I'm literally planning my next trip to Maison Villatte, and will be craving its delicious savory and sweet options for a while!

Thank you young man from Fields Gallery in Martha's Vineyard for this outstanding love affair with this place. There is a reason why there are almost always lines even during the week, and a reason why I wouldn't mind if this "Maison" was named after me instead! All vanity aside, the pictures here can do all the food talking. The lavender and the honey flavors did not come out on my drink and they even had lavender flakes on it. The rest and the main desserts and their quality blew me out of the water though. I am not sure how the macaroons are, but Philadelphia's tiny French neighborhood could only be so lucky to have this place there. Also, things that would be nice is an available bathroom like another reviewer said, and a sit down area too. I don't think there is a place to expand from where they are currently.

We did a carb/biking day in Falmouth - so after a massive lunch of lobster rolls, I insisted we check out Maison Villatte based on a glowing recommendation. It was the perfect way to top off the day. If I were to come back next time, I'd try the bread loaves, which looked stellar. Here's what we got: 1. The blueberry croissant. A+. The pastry edges were nicely golden and flaky but the center part with cream and blueberries - we were eating this in our car and I made absolutely sure I didn't drop a single crumb. 2. Oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies. Nine times out of ten, I'll go for the CCC over anything with raisins in it but actually, I preferred MV's oatmeal over the chocolate. The oatmeal cookie was beautifully fragrant with nutmeg and allspice and cinnamon, reminding me of the first hints of autumn. The CCC was too heavy on the butter (blotting through the bag after only a few minutes) and a little too rich for my taste. Whereas I could have eaten the oatmeal cookie in one go. My only complaint is the line to order right when you come in gets chaotic - you really have to depend on one of the staff making direct eye contact with you, otherwise we felt slightly ignored as the line surged around and behind us. We went in the late afternoon when it was still plenty busy, so weekend mornings must be absolute pandemonium. Prices were cheaper than expected! They have some seating inside but if it's beautiful out, there's the public library park with benches right across the street (as well as a nearby parking lot).

Everything is delicious breads are the best service is great would go everyday if possible and try a new pastry each time wish it was closer to home

Finally made it here for the first time. The apricot croissant is incredible! So good I went back the next day for the same thing.

Such a cute place with delicious baked goods. There may be a line but it moves fast. Everything is to go, but there is a park across the street with picnic tables. Do not miss a chance to taste this goodness!

(Last visited 5/6/2022.) Vacationing in Cape Cod and it's about time to head home, but before we do, we absolutely HAD to stop by this gorgeous French bakery right on Main Street since they close earlier in the day. So why not make a breakfast out of it?! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the main strip near the busy entryway of downtown is this gem. You can smell the fresh baked goods all the way down the street and once you're inside you're IMMERSED in the beauty of all of the hand-crafted goodies that are all made one by one! I LOVED this. Family-owned, created by hand and all baked with love. You don't get that a lot anymore. The decor was simple, straightforward and not too drastic. It really felt like I was back in Bordeaux hoping to find a fresh baguette to go with my wine! Service: Everything is counter-service here so you go up to the counter right near the front door to order. You can ask 1,000,000 questions and they'll keep their patience with you because honestly, there's just SO MUCH STUFF here to gawk at and drool over. Lol. You'll seriously want one or even 2 of everything. Food: During my visit I tried what I believe was a chocolate-filled eclair, a fruit tart and some sort if flatbread-cheesy-pretzel deliciousness. Lol. Everything was spectacular. I won't even get into the specifics, just know they can do no wrong here! Value: It's a French bakery, so you can get a lot for your money here, but it'll add up quickly. In conclusion, I loved this place and had I known it was here earlier in the week I would've tried to convince the wife to take a walk every morning to try something different each day!

Food was good and service prompt. Would have been rated higher if the seating was more spacious

Superb French pastry. Their Baguettes are to die for! Highly recommended ! Address is 261 Main Street Falmouth!

Just bought my third Yule log. I thought the first 2 years it was the best dessert I have ever had and had no complaints about the $50 price tag. This year I bought another and will be throwing away the remainder after cutting 2 pieces. It was dry white sponge cake lacking much of the fabulous chocolate mousse it contained in the past. The chocolate frosting was good but, without the thick mousse filling it was very dry. Sorry folks, no longer a bakery gem. Service was terrible too, clerk told me they didn't have what I wanted for breakfast, only for me to find them on display further down the case. No apologies for the mistake, just said she couldn't see them.

We have been here two times and both times everything we have tried has been outstanding. I wish we lived closer so we could go more often. The service is also so sweet and kind, really above and beyond what I would ever expect from a bakery. Everything I tried was delicious but I especially enjoyed the kouign amann which I have never had before and wish I could find something comparable closer to where we lived. They have set the bar way too high for me now.

Even if you arrive 15 minutes before opening, you're likely to see a line, as we did on our first visit. That'll definitely get the juices flowing, as well the signage and the impressive array of breads and pastries (boulangerie and patisserie, if you will) in the display cases. Anticipation ran so high that we ordered 9 different items. Chocolate Croissant: I've been on a chocolate croissant search that's taking me to the better places in Boston, the Boston neighboring cities and suburbs, and the more food-centric cities in Maine. I have my favorites and was expecting Maison Villatte to join them, but the croissants not only fell short but were downright disappointing. Room temperature, zero crackle, no fluffiness (texture pretty much identical to a Starbucks croissant), decent enough buttery flavor, and only a tease of chocolate. Brownie: Much like my family, large and round, with nuts included. Moist but not fudgy. More of a subtle, subdued chocolate flavor, better as an accompaniment to coffee than something a kid would enjoy. Coffee Eclair: Impressive presentation with the coffee colored frosting, the espresso bean as garnish, and individual box. Soft, fresh, and dark mocha filling inside. Nice surprise. Tarts: We tried four, and these were the highlight of the visit. Lemon merengue was sweet and heavy and light and refreshing all at the same time, with a nice buttery crust to the "cup." Caramel pear tart had unimpressive soggy pear slices all clumped together, but the caramel was tasty and the crust was darker and tastier than the lemon's. Mixed berry looked better than it tasted, but was nice. Chocolate had rich decadence that made up for the brownie, though a little reminiscent of Hershey's syrup. Had cold the next day it exhibited more body. Bread: "Cereale" Sourdough crusty outside, fluffy inside, and delicious everywhere. Pricing surprisingly reasonable for the quality/ambitiousness of the items. Overall, a fine bakery, better than average for sure, but for me not the elite everyone seems to think they are. I wonder if the ratings are inflated by tourists who are in a good mood and happy just to have these items with no benchmarks. If I could get in and out in 15 minutes I'd be back again in a heartbeat. But since the actual investment is going to be closer to an hour if not more (it was over an hour this time), the quality just isn't in line with the hassle.

Went in for coffee and snacks and purchased a sandwich, iced latte and chocolate chip cookie. All excellent.

This bakery can get busy but the line moves quickly. The individual helping us was very patient with us. The pastries are flaky and not too sweet (just how we like it)! 5/5.

The pastries here are incredible!!! I want 1 of everything! Pls do a better job of having the floral lattes you show on your signs. My daughter was disappointed 2 days in a row.

My family and I have vacationed at Cape Cod the past three summers, and every trip we make sure to stop by this bakery at least twice. The pastries are incredibly fresh and taste amazing. We always get a large array of things to try and share with one another. The assortments are very reasonably priced, especially taking into consideration how tasty they are. There is always a very long line, so be sure to get there early.

Happy with the items we got here! This place provides a collection of french pastries and baked goods and does a good job ensuring quality. Get the chocolate chip cookie. My only major critique goes to their coffee as it seems that the espresso is digitally operated and I've had better crafted cappuccinos - but doesn't stop me from enjoying their drinks anyway. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE** One of the stars of the show; this cookie has a GREAT crumb on the exterior, disintegrating into these satisfying bits and pieces that melt in your mouth and crumble for texture; the interior of the cookie is chewy and you get a healthy dose of chocolate throughout the cookie, which seems to be well-melted and integrated into the cookie as streaks, rather than being in discrete chips that you bite into. I prefer the way they do this. The texture differences also blend well into each other, and do not create an unpleasant contrast. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT (Chocolate Croissant) Airy more than flaky, and actually a bit lacking in chocolate interior - not sure I would get this again RASPBERRY CROISSANT BREAD This dense, layered bread is yummy and hearty, with eggy, bready flavors dominating the item with some flakiness, and then hints of raspberry throughout. I liked this overall; haven't had much things like this. DESSERTS CAFE ECLAIR Crumbly exterior with a well-glazed, smooth coffee glaze and a well-filled interior of coffee-flavored cream which is bold and strong with coffee flavor - well concentrated and thick! Not too sweet whatsoever and really pleasant in fragrant coffee flavor. LE TROPICAL Passionfruit coated cake - can't remember all the flavors in this, but it had coconut surrounding the bottom, and I really enjoyed this- it had that intense brightness and tartness of passionfruit without being overwhelmingly sweet which can be a challenge. LE ROYAL Chocolatey, hazelnutty flavors paired with a biscuit inside for that gentle crunch in the midst of gelatinous, creamy filling. Nutella lovers - you will love this!

Seriously delicious! Only a few gluten free options, hoping they'll have more in the future? The line wasn't too bad the afternoon we went (July 3), but my husband went back the next morning for breakfast and the line was out the door and down the block. (The book sale across the street prob didn't help lol). But worth the wait!

Delicious bakery!! There are savory options with breads and quiches. We got a quiche with spinach and goat cheese and it was delicious. Appreciate they warm in an oven and not a microwave. Also got a blueberry cream cheese danish which was amazing. Our server was a delight with good tips and a friendly demeanor. The store is extremely clean. The bakery area looked pristine. There are tables to stand and eat at, no chairs, but very convenient. Nice way to start our day.

I always love coming here whenever I am in Falmouth! Cute French bakery. Specializing in delicious croissants, breads, quiches, coffee, etc. Everything is delicious. The line starts early in the day, and unfortunately there is no seating offered (even though there is plenty of room). If the weather is good you can snag a table in the park across the street; otherwise come prepared to eat in your car.

I bought a flat breast with thinly sliced tomatoes and mozzarella. I had it heated and cut in half to split with my husband. Dam delish! Highly recommend. To top it off the lady behind the counter - for no reason at all - gave me a large sourdough loaf for no reason at all! It's not just that she gave me a free loaf, but the food was fantastic. I which I took a pic - sorry! I'll be heading back to try other food items.

Update to say: secretly the best thing here is the oatmeal cookie. Get an oatmeal cookie. But still, come with patience and be prepared to practice your calming breathing exercises. The customer service is always a little iffy and the employees seem equally as annoyed by the sort-of-a-line-but-still-chaos-system as I am.

I have been faithfully returning to Cape Cod for the chance to purchase all the baked goods at this excellent boulangerie patisserie worthy of the best places in France.

I can only give it 5 stars, so 5 stars it is. This place is amazing. I haven't had this quality French pastries since I was in Paris. 100% authentic, brilliant, French pastries. I wanted one of everything! We had blueberry crumble, some kind of apricot pie, and an almond genoise. Every bite was succulent, fantastic. If I lived near here I would definitely be a regular. They perfectly execute the full experience of a traditional French pastry shop. I loved it!

First off, cute little bakery. The service was very quick and attentive. The food....out of this world. The croissants...wow. Just wow. So buttery. And let's not forget. Super flaky. And the crunch? In LOVE. The Tarte Au Berries were so tasty. The espresso buche was so tasty. The only unfortunate issue is that I find it super small. I guess it's a sign to buy the bigger version next time, but other than that the smaller version is nice if you want a bite size taste. The pricing was good. I thought I'd go over board but I felt I got much bang for my buck. I come from New York City so this bakery was better than the ones in New York. Also not pictured in but I bought two strawberry mini jams. I've never been a jam type of girl but this bakery put me on!

Great bread and sandwiches. Kind of pricey though. Ordered ahead and the pickup was kind of weird maybe have a spot just for people who order ahead. Overall though the food makes up for any lacking areas.

Closed Monday, but came back Wednesday. AMAZING!! So many choices. Breakfast now. And taking to go lunch items. One of the best we've ever had. I hardly ever post on Yelp, but this one deserves a visit if you are on the Cape.

Amazing, so many selections. The location had bench seating outside across from a park. No inside seating available.

Ok. Can I give this place 6 stars??? Returned here twice in my four day visit and spent $100 on the second round to take stuff home because I can't pack this place in my car. Wonderful croissants. Flavorful sandwiches on chewy baguette Tasty fougaase with various savory toppings Good coffee. Patient servers who answer questions and don't rush you. Be prepared to wait in line, but it's worth it. Be prepared to deal with those customers who act like snooty poots.

Busy on a Friday morning, great selection of pastries and breads. Probably the least expensive breakfast we had on the Cape and the quality of the croissants and quiche is excellent.

Who knew that Falmouth was home to some of the best Parisian pastries in New England?! Nothing would have prepared me for the unbelievable variety of beautiful baked items at Maison Villatte. The line was long but thankfully the wait gave me ample time to decide what to order. I decided to split a savory fougasse and chocolate chip cookie with my friend. I also saved a chocolate almond croissant to have later in the day. We ordered a tomato fougasse but instead received one with bacon. Thankfully, neither of us are vegetarian! The fougasse was unlike anything I've had before. It was deliciously indulgent, topped with tons of cheddar cheese and fatty, crispy bacon. Although I didn't eat the chocolate almond croissant immediately, it was still buttery, soft, and flaky after an entire day of sitting around. The almond flavor was not overpowering and balanced perfectly with the rich chocolate. Ever since my quick weekend trip to Falmouth, I haven't stopped thinking about Maison Villatte and their incredible pastries. Given that Falmouth is only about an hour away from Providence, I will absolutely return with my parents so that they can have as holy of an experience as I did when biting into that savory fougasse.

The food is good although its over priced. The service is fair. I purchased a significant amount of gift certificates and it took them at least 10-15 minutes to process them. When one of the recipients went to use the gift certificates they didn't work. I have the credit card proof of purchase receipt. ??? Very disappointing.

Wow this place is amazing! This is one of the best almond croissants I've ever had. They use brown butter and you can really taste the complex flavors. It was crispy and not dried out. My wife and I also loved their apricot pistachio tart! Delicious with a perfect crust. I am 100% coming back here!

We love coming here for pastries and sandwiches. Favorites include the chocolate chip cookie, French brownie, and chocolate almond croissant. Never had a bad experience with either food or service. The cranberry brie turkey sandwich (le Cape) is also a favorite. My children love the fruit tarts which are literally loaded with fresh berries. Highly recommend a visit here if you're in the area. Got a birthday cake from here, filled with dark chocolate mousse. Very delicious with coffee. I would actually recommend a visit here even if you're not in the area.

Wow the pastries here are absolutely delicious. Definitely the best chocolate croissant I've had! My husband also enjoyed his eclair. Coffee was ok, but i wish i had ordered more pastries. Definitely will be coming back!

Fantastic bakery in the area. There is always a line but it is worth it! I had the chocolate cookie and almond croissant. It helps if you go with someone else so you can take a peek at what is available and have your selection ready when you get to order. Please be patient and mindful when waiting. There were many times that the staff would call to take someone's order but they weren't paying attention.

Absolutely amazing!! Chocolate Eclair was awesome!! Croissants fabulous! Coffee delicious... My only knock would be any place that serves food should have a bathroom...

The peach, pistachio tarte was beyond delicious!!!! The chocolate chip cookies were solid and the sandwiches were also yummy!! Highly recommend!!

I've lived in Normandy and Paris. Maison Villate transports me to my happy places and, thanks to them, i've been able to introduce my partner to REAL French baked breads and pastries! She's in awe!

Came back and everyone was gabbing back and forth. It was opening day and old friends were so happy to see one another after a cold winter. Oh yeah and EVERYTHING is so good, Financier, Baguette, Apricot Croissant. Simply amazing. Best of all: Would think dog owners would be "In the Know" No dogs.

Delicious tarts and pastries, breads, and sandwiches. The croissants are good but not outstanding. Same with the puff pastries and merengues. It's a real feast for the eyes and senses when you walk in, and that is half the joy of coming here. It's a fantastic place to get an indulgent baked treat.

What happened? Yes, the service is the worst - verrrrry slow help which creates unacceptably long lines. But the food used to be worth the wait. All four pastries today were below par. So disappointing.

The most delicious pastry I've had since I last visited France! The service was friendly and efficient. Not to be missed!

Great service, excellent bread. We had the bacon fqcatua and cranberry bread. Pastry had great flavor and was gorgeous.
