Super fast and efficient service. Also probably the best chocolate cake I’ve had in years, the Crunchy Cake is like a Ferrero Rocher chocolate lovers dream!

This is the go-to for eclairs in Midtown, and for sweets in the neighborhood.

Love this place and the quality they put out! Both food/drink and service to boot! All the staff are great and provide fantastic service, even when swamped with customers. I look forward to them opening back up and hope everyone's ok considering!

All their food and pastries are fresh and I constantly have to fight back the urge when I stop in to Not grab everything my eyes(and tummy) desire, becoming a complete fatfat😋😫

One of favorite places in neighbor hood to hang out. We always get coffee and almond croissant. For lunch the ham/cheese baguette is really nice.
Friendly owner and staff.
Back again for cafe americano and an almond croissant. Very good.
Bathroom is very clean.
Whole place is very clean.
Back again on Valentine’s Day. Today we
had a very good cup of coffee and a brownie which was delicious. Store was festive with Valentine decorations.
We stopped in again yesterday to have a delicious cup of coffee and a fantastic brownie. The best!
Also happy to see they now have a self serve water station which is great. Also we head from the manager and owner that they started a new brunch menu while we were away on vacation. Can’t wait to try it.
Back this weekend to try the brunch menu. I had the oatmeal with three kinds of fruit but oatmeal should have been hotter. My wife got the French toast which was really delicious.

Brief update in June. They are temporarily closed due to a fire. See sign on door and boarded up doors/windows.
Hope they are able to reopen soon as we miss going there.

Great spot to indulge in French treats! 🥧 They have a big assortment of eclairs and other desserts like caneles. I especially love almond and pistachio eclairs. They are perfect - not overly sweet and so flavorful! 🧁Now they also offer breakfast on the weekends. Overall, amazing food, reasonable prices, and nice atmosphere!

Their passion fruit eclairs are the best! And all of their croissants are really good.

Eclair is a cozy spot I revisited after several years.

The mini Nutella and strawberry donuts were a bit too soft and unremarkable, and the pistachio croissant tasted stale with overly sweet frosting overpowering the pistachio.

However, the spinach danish stole the show—crispy, fresh, and bursting with deep spinach flavor. The crunch was so satisfying my brother couldn’t resist trying it too.

Overall, a mixed experience but worth a visit for their standout savory pastries. I am still thinking about that spinach danish and I almost never do after the rare pastry treat!

Finally, I would have stayed, but I had my dog and they are not allowed (except maybe to get your order to go).

Pistachio eclair was very good - unique almost gummy texture on the frosting on top, soft and chewy shell, with a filling that’s not too sweet.

I didnt like the cancelle though. Nice crunchy exterior but the flavor was dull.

What a great neighborhood find! Popped in for some ham and cheese croissants and a latte and I was transported. Quiet, plenty of seating, lovely Parisian vibe. And the pastry chef is French so the croissants were straight fuego. So delicious! Merci beaucoup! We will be back!
