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 🍦“

“Ordered a Basque Lava cake- original, which is essentially a cheesecake with a softer center and a more caramelized shell- it was delicious. (I also tried a regular cheesecake from Veniero’s the same night- it was a night of pastry tasting- and I def preferred this basque lava cake from ANDO. Really lovely- highly recommend for something a little different!“

“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.“

“I've been here a few times and everytime I leave I always think it's a top 5 bakery in the city. already planning my next visit. The pastries are insane.

The chocolate chip cookie is hockey puck-sized and somehow gooey all the way through. The bottom is crisp

The seasonal mango passionfruit bun was incredible. I like my pastries really sweet and this hit the spot in so many ways. I might have liked it more than the cinnamon bun which is wild since I LOVE cinnamon.

The peach melba had super fluffy laminated dough layers with cream cheese and a poached pear. I'm not 100% certain why it had raspberry jam as well but it still worked.

Zachary the owner was friendly with everyone who came in and I ended up talking to him for 20 minutes when we realized his family is from the same part of Queens as my in-laws. Kirsten at the counter was also super welcoming. Really lovely place to walk into.“

“Absolutely loved my experience at La Farine. We came in for lunch and ended up staying for hours because the atmosphere was so warm and inviting. By the time it started getting darker and the candles came out, the whole place felt incredibly cozy.

I tried the tuna sandwich, chocolate tart, raspberry cake, and apple tart, and everything was genuinely delicious. The tuna sandwich was fresh and so satisfying, and the chocolate tart was probably one of my favorites rich, indulgent, and seriously hard to stop eating. The raspberry cake was beautifully balanced, and the apple tart was just as good. The drinks were amazing too.

This has quickly become one of those places I keep recommending to everyone. The food, service, and atmosphere all make you want to stay a little longer. I already can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Such a gem. 🤍“

“Lovely food, a great horchata latte (one of the best I’ve had), and truly magical atmosphere. This cafe appears plain at first, but they’ve got an extensive menu and good food, solid fare for a runner at the end of a long jog, and attentive and warm staff. The regulars were friendly and Duaa herself was present when I went. She’s the six-year-old daughter of the owners and was fluttering between patrons. A great start to my day.“

“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.“

“We visited this Milk Bar location for the 2nd time last night. This time we tried their fall desserts, the apple cider donut truffles & the apple pie gooey bar. Both were so good. I was so glad to find a place that offers apple flavored fall treats instead of pumpkin! Reuben was so kind and helpful. He really went above & beyond.“

“It was my first time coming here and I had a great experience.
I asked for recommendations because I have a dairy sensitivity, she told me about the vegan muffins and I said okay I'll take one.. I should have said I'll take a dozen because OMG So good!
And the iced coffee I had them add vanilla and I sprinkled a little sugar, I also love their straws too they're so much better for the environment.
I loved the vibe here too it's nice to grab breakfast in this crazy city.“

“Paris Baguette is a really nice place! The food looks amazing and everything looks fresh. The store is also really clean and has a nice atmosphere. The staff is friendly and easy to talk to, which makes the experience even better. There are lots of pastries and desserts to choose from, and everything looks really good. I’d definitely come back again!“

“Service is phenomenal especially Pablo he is a sweet, Charming young man his service is a 10/10 will definitely go back. If anything help needed ask for Pablo he knows what he is doing.

It’s clean and staff are all kind“

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

“I stopped here 3x in one week so am I obsessed? Yes 😊
Everything I tried at AnnTremet was so good. I had the cream filled croissant and was delicious. I was a little skeptical but this surprised me. It’s not overly sweet, just the right amount of sugar and the croissant itself is perfection. Then I had the mini mousse which was very good. My most recent time there I had the black sesame mini cake and this is my favorite dessert ever. For me was the thyme on top of the cake, it made the whole cake even better.

I highly recommend this spot 💗“

“Deliciously bad😀 and a sure treat!“

“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.“

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

“Super polite and timely responses from the owner. She is very kind and has made quite a few cakes for me. No one would ever believe they were vegan. I will continue to order from her and will continue to hope they will open a storefront, because sometimes I just want to drop in and grab a cupcake to try :)“

“Elegant, excellent, and be sure to savor a sample before ordering!“

“This is an amazing location and great standard ! Amazing management and staff . Harmann served me and was EXCEPTIONAL!!

“Just the perfect spot for distance working shen in NYC ❤️💜💙“

“wowie!!! stopped in this morning to try the Vietnamese coffee and salt bread, service was quick and friendly the long haired gentleman with the piercings was quick and informative. the coffee was sooooo good, perfectly sweet and creamy, but the bagel was such a star, I'll definitely be back soon!!!!!“

“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.“

“I absolutely love the coffee here! If you get the chance, you have to try the iced Korean milk coffee—it’s incredible. The service is always amazing, and Luis makes the best coffee. He’s so welcoming and always has a smile on his face. I’ve been coming to this location for over a year now, and they truly treat you like family. 10/10 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.“

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

“Just the perfect spot for distance working shen in NYC ❤️💜💙“

“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 spent the day exploring Hudson Yards and the surrounding area.
On my way home, I walked up 6th Ave looking for a place to get a simple lunch. Using Google Maps, I found this Paris Baguette at the corner of 6th Ave and west 37th street. When you enter, pastries, food and drinks are on the right, service area in the middle and tables on the left and all the way back on West 37th street.
Service was very quick and friendly.
My chicken sandwich was delicious.

Nice area to sit at the front by the windows.“

“Nice team, nice pasties and atmosphere.“

“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!“

“clean and great atmosphere“

“Awesome place to sit down and enjoy a moment of your day or if you’re just grabbing to go. They have sweet pastries, or if you prefer something lighter. I suggest their fruit cups or a cookie. They have sandwiches or salads for something more filling. Over all great place to visit.
Especially this location that has awesome service. I stopped by before an exam and their employee, Bertie(I think Sanchez), helped pick out a snack. They worked swiftly and very patient with my many questions. I was really nervous; so thank you to the whole team for making the place so welcoming.“

“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.“

“elegant restaurant nice French food interesting wine list professional and kind service“
