Patisserie/Cake Shops in New York, NY

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“Great customer service! Loved the cereal milk soft serve the most 🍦“

“Came here for the lava seasame crepe roll and it did not disappoint. The crunchy flakes on top added texture to a creamy and most importantly, not to sweet, crepe roll. It’s so soft and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming here just for this. Will definitely be back to try every single one of these beautiful and unique treats.“

“Bread Story is a charming bakery that delivers fresh, well-made breads and pastries with a comforting, homemade feel. The selection is simple but thoughtfully done, with balanced flavors and quality ingredients. It’s a cozy spot to grab a quick bite or something to go, and the consistency makes it easy to come back again and again.“

“The BEC breakfast croissandwich exceeded my expectations! The croissant was SO buttery, the egg tender, and a great ratio of bacon and cheese. The dipping sauce also went perfectly with the sandwich. Was worried this was another overhyped nyc trap, but this is def one of the best BEC I’ve ever had!“

“If you want to transport to Paris without leaving NYC, La Farine is your spot. This cute Parisian bakery on the Upper West Side has the freshest, most delicious savory and sweet pastries I've had in the city.

I tried the scrambled egg in croissant, smoked salmon in challah roll, strawberry cardamom tart, dark chocolate eclair, and pain au chocolat — every single thing was outstanding. The coffee was delicious too, obviously.

The vibe is cozy, the quality is unmatched, and it's the kind of place you'll want to bring your friends just to see their reaction on the first bite.

Merci beaucoup, La Farine. I'll be back! 🥐🇫🇷“

“Absolutely authentic and glorious! Just wished there was cafe style seating outside. The chocolate croissant was PERFECT and the hot chocolate was divine. Muah! C’est ci bon!“

“This cafe has been a special staple in the neighborhood for many years. The brothers who work in the cafe are so kind and seem to know all their regulars orders. Grabbing a coffee and seeing them is the best way to start the day. The people really are what make Dua’s great!“

“Lovely spot lovely staff lovely food… rumor has it a new manager started recently and is not a fan of bartering.. I’d encourage them to think about and consider the world of barters they’re missing out on. Just food for thought.. or I suppose food for money would be more your speed…….“

“Uma experiência muito legal, comida boa e bom ambiente, todo num mesmo lugar! Amei… Pedacinho da França na Big Apple! ❤️❤️❤️“

“The service always is great. I called ahead and cake was waiting for us. A quick BD reminder and the cake was ready to go. Lilixxx was outstanding.“

“If you like strawberries you have to have their strawberry and cream croissant. I think I had four of them in 4 days. I'm also taking two of their raspberry and almond croissants home.
I think I visited three times to two locations and probably spent over $100. OMG, they know how to make croissants.“

“Paris Baguette is a convenient bakery spot with a wide selection of pastries, cakes, breads, and drinks that makes it easy to stop by for a quick snack or coffee break. The bakery has a clean, bright setup with plenty of options displayed up front, from sweet pastries to savory items, making it the kind of place where it’s hard not to find something that catches your eye.

The pastry selection is the main highlight, with everything from croissants and donuts to cakes, tarts, and cream-filled treats. The baked goods are consistently fresh and nicely presented. The mango brioche stood out with a good balance of sweetness and texture, while the cheesecake and other desserts make for easy grab-and-go treats. There are also plenty of coffee and drink options to pair with the pastries, though some drinks can lean sweeter depending on the order.

The service is generally friendly and efficient, and many locations have enough seating to make it a comfortable place to take a break. It works well whether you’re grabbing breakfast, picking up dessert, or just looking for a quiet spot to sit with a coffee.

Overall, Paris Baguette is a reliable bakery option with a huge variety of pastries and desserts. It may not have the same specialty focus as smaller bakeries, but the convenience, selection, and consistently appealing presentation make it an easy place to revisit.“

“Will come again for dessert, beautiful restaurant. Loved my sandwich too�“

“We had a great experience at Milk in New York! The most delicious item by far was the cereal ice cream—it’s absolutely amazing and definitely the highlight. We also tried the colorful birthday cake, but it wasn’t as good; it tasted a bit dry. On a positive note, the staff member who helped us was very kind and friendly. Overall, we highly recommend going, especially for the cereal ice cream!“

“Thank you so much. the service was excellent and the food was delicious. Thank you Alexandra and her staff for the wonderful service. It was a pre birthday celebration and they made me feel wonderful.“

“The mini fresh cream cake (strawberry shortcake) was SOOO good! Very fresh!Normally their cake orders require 2 days lead time but I called to ask if they’d be able to accomodate in a day and the baker did. Thank you for making my aunt’s birthday extra special with this beautiful and delicious mini cake.“

“Deliciously bad😀 and a sure treat!“

“June 2025, the BEST bakery cafe in all of Spanish Harlem.“

“My partner and I are getting married and having our cake made here. I'm vegan and gluten-free and this company made my 50th birthday cake. It was tremendous! And it was a no brainer that we'd select them for our wedding cake!
They were prompt with responses and detailed in their information sharing.“

“A lifesaver for late night sweet cravings! Stopped by well into the evening and was impressed by how much they still had on offer. The cheesecake was delicious, definitely hit the spot. Love that this place keeps late hours, it fills a real gap in the city. Highly recommend!“

“A cute cafe with beautiful pastries that taste just as good as they look. The pastries were both visually appealing and delicious.

The space inside isn’t very large, but there is seating available if you want to sit down and enjoy your coffee and dessert. A lovely spot to stop by for a sweet treat.“

“I haven’t visited this bakery since 2011 was told its ran by new people. only went there before for the 3 leches cake. Passed by today for one got home ate a lil and was mind blown 🤯 I’m surprised to see bad reviews 😵‍💫 once I googled to leave review. Barely do this. Lady was really welcoming and nice. Thank you.“

“Nice team, nice pasties and atmosphere.“

“Awesome pastries!!! Would definitely be back if ever in the area.“

“We came in just to get a little bit of an energy boost for our concert later and OMG, the setup is so cute, we were greeted coming to the counter and nicely informed us of the options available, we didn't have to wait too long to get the coffee. we even decided to drink them there and so worth it, the atmosphere is super fun and freeing compared to other coffee shop snobs. Thus feels refreshing and not a bad price for this delicious coffee. Thank you Hokkaido, we'll be back soon :)“

“I usually stop by here after work. The pastries are always really good, by the evening there’s not a huge selection left, but you can still find something tasty. The coffee is great too. I’m just a little sad they removed my favorite hazelnut coffee.“

“I often buy cakes from Paris Baguette, and they never disappoint! The cakes are always fresh, perfectly balanced in sweetness, and absolutely delicious. Their coffee is smooth and rich, and the pastries are always fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. It’s my go-to place whenever I need a treat or something special for the family. Highly recommend!“

“The food is absolutely delicious, and the coffee is excellent. The pricing, in my opinion, is incredibly fair for the quality you get. The staff at this branch, in particular, are so welcoming and friendly. It's near my language school, and I stop by for coffee almost every day. I love this place and highly recommend it. If you find yourself in the area, you must visit! It’s my favorite cafe. Special thanks to all the employees. ♥️“

“clean and great atmosphere“

“I had a great experience at paris Baguette while visiting New York. Everything I tried tasted really good the coffee, hot chocolate, and pastries were all delicious. The location is very convenient, especially since it’s so close to Penn Station.

The only downside was that the bathroom wasn’t very clean, but that’s understandable given how crowded the city is, especially during the Christmas season. Overall, I highly recommend this place for great coffee, hot chocolate, and tasty pastries.“
