Whenever friends visit and ask where to find the best pastries, we always point them to Délice Macarons on the Upper West Side. It's not just a café; it's a little slice of Paris right here in New York. Our personal favorites are... well, everything! What truly sets Délice Macarons apart is the care and passion that infuses every aspect of the shop. Whether it's the perfectly brewed lattes, delicious breakfast sandwiches, wonderfully flaky scones and croissants, or the heavenly desserts--they are all absolutely the best in the area! The moment you step in the door, the staff make you feel right at home, enhancing the whole experience. One important tip: go early, they sell out fast!

Love the pastries and cakes from this bakery. Top notch. Maybe better than dare I say anywhere else in NYC for croissants. Their cakes are gorgeous and they always try to accommodate. So happy it’s in this neighborhood, esp. for my cravings.
Yes. Okay. You get what you pay for here. It tastes the way it's supposed to taste. Or "the way it tastes in France" if you prefer but there's no reason the "taste of France" can't be replicated here. It's not like it's geographically-dependent. If it's a question of ingredients rather than savoir-faire then I suppose all non-perishable ingredients could technically be imported. Anyway. I digress. It tastes the way it's supposed to taste. Rich in butter. Flaky on outside and doughy on inside. Delicious. Bravo. Thank you. In consistency This is a French pain au raisin but with pistachio substituting the raisins and custard. The dough / consistency of American cinnamon roll is different. This pastry employs pâte feuilleté (here in the US they tend to call it by its Greek name Filo dough).Prices on par with other places so I'd say it's worthwhile in terms value for money.2 other locations in NJ. this is most recent one (?). A trend I've seen, successful chains from surrounding suburbs open their first nyc outpost.Much better than Épices bakery nearby.Head baker from Paris is based out of their nj bakeries.

This is my favorite bakery and it will probably be yours as well. Whether you are in the mood for a perfect croissant with delicious and delicate layers, a sweet dessert for yourself, or unforgettable cake and macarons for a group, I have tried almost everything Delice Macaron has ever made and loved every single bite!Since Delice opened, I have ordered with them more than one hundred times. Their treats are a perfect fit for offices, birthdays, out of town visitors, and every time the reaction is amazement. People with picky preferences are regularly blown away by the quality of the French baking.If you live in the neighborhood, this is perfect for a breakfast or afternoon treat or major celebrations. If you are visiting the UWS, Delice Macarons should be a can’t miss destination.The team here is incredible, extremely friendly, and can bet trusted with personalized orders. Thanks for raising the baking bar!Vegetarian options: It’s a bakery, most options are vegetarian.
Satisfy your baked goods addiction here: kouign amman, croissant, cookies are all excellent

This is my wife’s and my favorite place in our neighborhood. My wife, who has lived here her whole life and has loved croissants since she was a young girl, says it’s the best croissant in the city. Everything is amazing but a potential sleeper item is the breakfast sandwich, it’s so good!The truly special part is the woman who owns it and the people who work there. They are simply amazing people who care a lot about what they do. So thank you to them!
The friendliest staff/owners. Every single baked good is delicious, and the vibe is nice and cozy. If you find yourself on the Upper West Side, definitely make sure to visit Delice.
Délice Macarons is the best patisserie in the neighborhood. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the team there is incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Incredible desserts and pastries! My favourite almond croissant of all time. The owner is also incredibly kind and welcoming, such a pleasure to visit every time I’m in town.

I hate it when the people who are on the front line are kind of rude to you. But maybe they were having a bad day too so not sure. They give macaroons in a flimsy bag, i ordered four of them, didn't taste great. I also ordered the Chocolate croissant, wouldn't recommend. Not a great experience. Hope they improve. I think we need more places like this but with good attitude and good food. I thought the place is cute, of how it displays the food.

Got their macaron hazelnut chocolate mousse cake and it was fantastic. It was the perfect amount of sweet and the people working there were super nice. Though the cake was a bit expensive at 45$ for a small, I think it's definitely worth the price!
