Barachou Upper West Side

I don't usually write reviews, but I have to give a shoutout to Barachou because I'm completely obsessed. I've always loved tiramisu, hands down my favorite dessert so when I found out they make a version called Tiramichou, I knew I had to try it. Honestly, it might be one of the best things I've tasted since I left Europe.

It has everything I love about tiramisu: the creamy layers, the rich mascarpone, the perfect coffee flavor but the twist is the choux puffs soaked in espresso. That's what makes it original and unforgettable.

The rest of the menu is just as good. Their signature cream puffs come in all kinds of flavors, and everything is so fresh and beautiful it's hard to choose. A box of three is always a great little treat on the go. I've also tried a couple of their tarts, they're incredible, like little bites of Paris.

Barachou is one of those places that just makes you happy the second you walk in. It's cozy, charming, and smells like heaven straight from the oven.

Coming from Switzerland, I really miss French pastries and the smell of fresh croissants in the morning, so thank you, Barachou, for bringing back those memories.🥐🩷

Terrible cream puffs. stale and frozen. take your money elsewhere.

Cozy place (limited seating) - authentic French bakery - love their stuff!

Excellent pastries

We had an assortment of cream puffs plus decaf coffees - lattes - cappuccinos. It was the perfect afternoon pick me up as we walked in this part of town. Everything was so good! Highly recommend. From a bakery guru. 😂

Review from my 8 year old daughter: Barachou’s puffs are sweet and tasty. They are all very different. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat another pastry not from barachou.
Review from daddy: Barachou will get you quality pastries. A break from the quantity of subpar options around the city. It’s cute. It’s good. It’s a delight.

This is a wee French bakery. But the selections were/are tasty. I would return for the cream puffs and macarons.

I was just walking this part of town and when I saw the sign, I thought this might be a fun afternoon treat. They are so good!!! We actually went back the next morning so we would have another fun little snack. Great service! Very friendly and very patient. We tried the tiramisu, whipped cream, crème brûlée, raspberry, and chocolate. All were great but our favorites were the whipped cream and the crème brûlée.

A cute cafe but pastries were expensive and sub par.

Lovely place to stop by for some treats. Friendly staff!

Flourless chocolate tart was rich for a day you want intense thing. Nice taste but was slightly dry.

Cappuccino was creamy. The beans that was used were on the bitter and strong side. I recommend pair with a dessert definitely!

If you are looking for the best croissant and/or baguette in NYC, this is your place. I’m going to go as far as saying, their croissants are better than all the croissants I ate in France (multiple regions).
Also passion fruit tart cake, which is on their pre-order menu, is a dessert you don’t want to miss!

The cream puffs were great! Large variety of flavors. Some were better then others. I recommend the passion fruit or tiramisu. The dark chocolate was was more like chocolate then a cream Puff. Small and expensive but a nice treat.
