After being disappointed with the service and staff attitude many times, my friends finally convinced me to visit merci marcel again.
This palais outlet is walking distance from my place and opens early at 8. With not many breakfast options at that hour, this is a reliable place to get strong French coffee.

Anyway, not commenting on the arrogant and careless staff this time. I ordered the acai Bowl and was pleasantly surprised. They have made some changes to the temperature and now acai is easier to eat. You don't have to wait for it to melt first. The fruit choices blend perfectly and made for a very healthy breakfast choice. It is still expensive at $18, but now I can finally recommend you to try it.

The coffee is strong and fairly priced for Orchard location. If you are ready to spend around 80 for 2, and tired of same corporate style coffee shops, this can be a good classy choice.
