I'm extremely dissatisfied with this location. I purchased macarons, and two pieces contained foreign objects. It's crucial to address this issue promptly to avoid potential legal consequences.

I had a chance to try them for the first time, I got the passionfruit turkish delight. I thought it was pretty good, it is sweet and does have a fruity flavor which somewhat tastes like passionfruit. The pieces are somewhat small and are chewy but not to the point of unpleasantly sticking to your mouth or throat and covered by powdered sugar. I only wish there were more of them for the price, as I can eat through a small bag like this very quickly.

David and I randomly stopped here to look at the sweets.The friendly lady at the counter informed us that it was macaron cookie "happy hour" and all of the cookies were half priced. David and I ended up purchasing a variety of the macarons and they were all delicious!

Place that sells sweet things, especially macarons of different tastes, as you can see in the photos. They are gluten free, and after 4pm they reduce them to 50%! It's worth trying!

I was an event not far from the Port Building when I was looking for something tasty to eat before my ferry arrived there were quite a few options available but the lines were way to long . So I as I was passing though the corridor I saw the Miette Patisserie & Confiserie (Small Pastry & Sweets) shop. First off the display is very alluring and displays the items very well, the service I received was prompt and courteous. MP&C had many quality choices available made with high quality organic ingredients, so settling on the Double Chocolate and Carrot Cake was a great solution for my evening and afternoon dessert(s). The MP&C Double Chocolate Travel Cake is a rich a decadent delight and paired well with scoop of Van Leeuwen Vanilla Bean ice cream. MP&C definitely got my attention so much that I decided why not try the mail order service to indulge again. Today my items were delivered my only con was the cakes were melting due to the UPS delivery arriving at the end of the day after 7pm. I immediately placed them in the refrigerator to cool, which was a slight let down. MP&C did do an outstanding packaging presentation and the travel Cake was just as enjoyable as before. If the travel cakes would arrived in melted this would have easily been a 5 of 5 experience.

Very cute store.

The Scharffen belgium cake was decent, but in all fairness we didn't give it the 4 hour required rest time.

My favorite candy shop in all of San Francisco. A Miette bday cake Easter baskets, and Christmas yule log are all yearly traditions in our house. And I ship my in-laws their cakes every anniversary.

I ordered two cupcakes- one carrot and one vanilla. The carrot was pretty good. I enjoyed that the cream cheese frosting wasn’t overly sweet, and the texture and flavor of the cake was good. The vanilla wasn’t enjoyable. The buttercream frosting just tasted like butter with no noticeable flavor. The cake portion was ok. The staff was friendly enough.

One of my favorite patisserie ever! First off, their logo and vibe immediately attracts you to their store. I would frequent this location in the Ferry Building when I used to work in SF and get special treats for me and my family. I love their shortbreads and their Chocolate Strawberry Cupcake. It has been a while before my recent visit and I was looking for my favorite lavender and chocolate shortbreads where they normally at but couldn't find them in the beginning although they were right in front of me. I was looking for the usual clear packaging and honestly panicking on the inside until I saw they repackaged their shortbreads and have upped their flavors! Whew!Besides getting my usuals, I also got their limited edition box which has samples of other flavors including chocolate chip, walnut, peanut butter, lemon. All are delish as always but chocolate chip is now part of my fave list. I also got a chocolate cupcake - moist cake with an ever so light yet not too sweet icing.The store associate was so nice (apologies for not catching her/their name!) I cannot wait to visit their new location in San Ramon!
Lots of colorful sweets to lure you in while strolling down the Ferry Building. I stopped by due to my craving for macarons. Don't let the appearance fool you! These are yummy. The shell looks crispy with a gritty texture, so it's not a traditional smooth macaron. I recommend the Matcha and the Rose Geranium!

Worth visiting the Ferry Building just for Miette alone! They have baked goods and candies plus currently have Easter goodies out

I have been visiting this site at The Ferry Building for years and I must say, the quality and the service went down tremendously. Who owns this place? Young kids with no customer service skills are running the show. Today, I order few Pana Cota jar and the counter guy want me to take them with no lids on. So I asked for lids, he said it will be a charge for the lids, I said are u expecting me to take open jar without lids? I said ok I will pay for the lids, he put lids on then I asked to put them in a box as I used to get them in the past, then he said I will charge u for the small box, I said if I orders a slice of cake, you will be putting it in a box and no charge. He could not answer. I asked for a box and small bag. He said I need to pay for the lids, the box and the bag!!!!And you running a good business. Who in the owner? The place is horrible!!! Save your money and go to somewhere else.

Poor service and quality went down. Young people with no experience working behind the counter at The Ferry Building. They only serve cakes on the weekend and no slices during the week. Quality is no longer the same. serving me panna cotta in jars with no lids and expecting me to walk home with loose jars. They want to charge me for lids and a box and a bag!!!!!. Ridiculous!!!! I shop there every week. Now they lost me and my friends!!

Besides their bakery items, Miette offers packages of candies, cleverly marketed to be appealing and reasonably priced. I found it a bit worrisome that none of the packages included an ingredients list; this should have been enough to prevent me from trying any of them, but alas it was not. Once purchased and opened (with difficultly, due to poor package design) and tasted, I was left with a horrible artificial-flavor aftertaste. Oh and keep in mind that if you want to pick up any of the little candy packages to check for ingredients or price, they expect you to buy it. Never again.
