Marais Tea Company - Tea House & Café: Authentic French Pastries, Loose Leaf Teas & Cozy Chilliwack Spot

Not sure if the bakery is separate or not, but I stopped in to grab a croissant, and then saw some other gems to grab. If I didn't grab the pain au chocolat I would have been in the doghouse. "Happy wife, happy life" or something like that. The first bite of my French cheese pastry that I can't pronounce was phenomenal. My mouth sang for joy as bread and cheese done to perfection was savoured. If only I could eat there every morning. Definitely a must go place in Chilliwack

Stopped by twice over the same week in December. The first time to purchase tea for Christmas gifts. The staff we chatted with was super knowledgeable and helpful, and made some excellent recommendations. The second time I came in for a hot drink and some chocolate mousse. The mousse was delicious - light and fluffy as it should be. I saw signs for crepes - which I will definitely come back for. Their cold iced teas are delicious. The space is calm and spacious - I’ll definitely be back!

Found this place quite by accident wandering around Chilliwack. Fantastic selection of teas and excellent crepes. Prices are amazing and teas are served beautifully. Will definitely recommend. Great place for an afternoon tea or coffee with a Parisien vibe. Don't forget to check out the collectible shop attached. Some lovely French themed items

I’ve been waiting to try this place since it opened up on Mill St. Originating from a European country, I have been resorting to visiting a bakery in Vancouver to get my fix of authentic French baked items! Marais Tea is very nicely fitted out inside and I appreciated the tables on the sidewalk outside so that we could have our dog with us. I enjoyed a London Fog Latte and an almond croissant. I’m happy to report that the croissant was how an authentic croissant should be (which is not to be taken for granted certainly in lower mainland BC)! My wife had the chausson aux pommes, though this had been made with a healthy dose of cinnamon, which is less French and more North American. It was nicely made, but perhaps more for North American tastes rather than authentic French. For us, the prices are on the side of this cafe being more of a “once in a while” treat rather than a frequent destination for us, but I think the price pretty much matches the quality of the offering and the decor. I’m sure we’ll be back and I definitely recommend this place to others! Next time I’d like to check out the range of loose leaf teas in the other side of the shop. Update: Marais Tea Company now serves authentic freshly cooked crepes. As soon as I saw them on instragram I knew I would need to pay a visit asap. Today was the day and the crepe (cinnamon and sugar) was so delicious. The best crepe since visiting France many years ago. It’s definitely going to be something I visit for whenever I’m in Chilliwack. Try the crepes: you won’t regret it! I would post a photo but I’m afraid I was too busy enjoying it!

Came in on a Saturday morning to do some computer work and have breakfast. Great atmosphere and so nice and quiet. My computer died,but most of my work was done. I spotted some plugs in the back of the room, which I may ask to use in the future.

Custom mixed teas are Cafe Marais speciality. Named after a district in Paris, Ethan, the cafe owner and tea leaf mixer, brings teas from all over the world to mix into wonderful blends. Serving hot or iced teas, a French bakery, baguettes, indoor/outdoor seating, and french music...a nice place to chill and catch up...bon Appétit

Great place on a rainy day. It was pouring non stop but hey put on a hat and explore. Found this little store and cafe. The palette was so calming and the aroma of tea was soothing. I ordered the Assam & Silk and boy was it aromatic. I will definitely recommend visiting again

This is a pleasant oasis in the heart of downtown. The carefully curated gift store is Parisienne and beautiful. The café is spacious and inviting. There is a generous variety of tea for everyone. But, my own interest is coffee. The espresso is full, balanced, and well roasted in the French tradition. It is a welcome alternative to the more acidic offerings of some of the surrounding establishments. This is actually a delightful space. During the summer, there is an open terrace in the back. It's another world. One does not feel one is in Chilliwack. The tables on the front sidewalk complete the vibe. Actually, no. I haven't mentioned the food. Why? Because, it looks amazing, but I have yet to partake. I look forward to doing so.
