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 on Valentine’s Day. Today we

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!

New discovery! We tried the Lemon Cake, Cheese Danish & Pistachio Eclair, everything taste delicious, fresh with great quality! They have a lot of options from Sandwiches, Cookies, Tarts, Cheesecakes, Macarons & Eclairs. Also, they have coffee hot or cold. This place is cute, super clean, well lit, with plenty indoor space & the bathroom is super clean too! Love the decor! If I’m back in the area I’ll definitely come back to try other things! Excellent service! The staff are helpful & super friendly!

Tried the mini six box eclairs with different flavors (I liked the passion fruit flavor the most), not the best but they were good to try.

Their pistachio éclair is so good, it keeps me traveling from Massachusetts regularly. Trust me—I’m from the land of pistachios. How is this not a phenomenon in NYC?!

We ordered three different eclairs, all delicious. Fair price, as expected for midtown Manhattan.
I recommend the dulce de leche or caramel eclair.

This place seems overrated. The coffee is watered down and service is poor. The staff are more interested in talking to each other than listening to customer orders.
