What's not to love? Everything here is fantastic. The service is great. It's busy on the weekends, but that's because the food is so good.

It's a must stop in Falmouth or in woods hole!! Everything is on point. I only wish I could eat more of their amazing baked goods.

I was in the area for a church retreat, and we stopped here today to pick up some pastries. Hands-down, these are the best French pastries I've had outside of Paris itself. Wish we had one of these in Boston!

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.

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!

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!

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).
