Alejandro RicoNovember 15, 2013This place is excellent, a bit pricey but you can't really expect anything else of that quality to be cheaper in Manhattan, especially not in that area. Get the croque madame, it's stunning!
Manal SaedanOctober 5, 2016Great please as usual I loved it in Riyadh and loved it more in NYC food is always great and don't miss the coffee ☕️ 👌🏻
This is my favorite breakfast spot in the city. Get the asperges & Oeufs Broullés or the Saumon Fumé. For dessert or starter haha the white chocolate viennoise
Natalie KMay 17, 2017Real French cakes here! Perfect for celebrating special occasions (or just because..). Favorite was mango mousse and maman cake
Alejandro WMMarch 28, 2015Extraordinary , good Brunch and lunch menu .. If they could have wine 1/2 garraf (1/2 bottle ) or wine by glass would be great!
CRUZiiiEMarch 13, 2018Most would stop in for a croissant or pastry, but their pre-made sandwiches are very tasty (using freshly baked bread from the premises) and it’s a quick to-go option.
Lisa DiepDecember 9, 2013Get the plie au chocolate with bittersweet chocolate & crispy, flaky layers, I had two today. Brioche is divine. French onion soup is topped with ooey gooey gruyere. Best baguette So far.
Lucy H.December 1, 2017My neighborhood go-to for a good pastry to go, or for a sit-down brunch! A croissant or the smoked salmon tartine is always a good choice.
Harumi UMay 4, 2014May be known for its bakery quality (I myself love baguette. When I eat it, that's all I need) but brunch is lovely also. Free caffe Americano refill
Hans Andreas AebiJuly 17, 2016The best Croissants in NYC with a fntastic Cafe Latte. Our favorite breakfast place in NY!
Leah SchwartzSeptember 3, 2014Terrific, authentic Parisian bakery and cafe. Avoid the drip coffee though (weak), and go for their espresso drinks instead (strong and delicious).
Tania PlateroAugust 28, 2017Awesome macchiato and desserts sold! Must come back for a full menu meal 😊
JoelNovember 16, 2013A real Parisian Bakery in NY the pastries are all wonderful in the restaurant soups and tartines that is the way to go.
Terecille Basa-OngFebruary 29, 2016Seems a bit cramped, both seating-wise and the checkout counters-wise. Had iced coffee and a Rosette sandwich to go - both were delicious!!!
Chocolate almond croissant and adagio desserts are the best. Also good tea selection and baguettes.
Olivia FabbroJuly 15, 2015was missing Paris, so I went for a croque Monsieur! It was delish and just the the maison kayser I went to in Paris!
Wayne BennettDecember 3, 2014Had a delicious white tuna (no mayo) on a sesame baguette that had all the toppings that made it taste like an Italian hero. It was yummy.
M23May 5, 2015Generally good bakery items. Very nice space to sit down inside as well as outside. Friendly and helpful staff!
WyngspanJanuary 23, 2014Julia child once said, "How can a nation be great if its bread tastes like Kleenex?" Not here. The baguettes could be the best source of carbs on this side of the Atlantic.
Alex RichardsJuly 30, 2015Treat yourself to a slice of chocolate cake and an iced coffee, this place is nearly as good as Lady M and boast a huge array of pastries.- Just opened! try their Raspberry pastries, they are divine. Moist muffin/cheesecake/soft center deliciousness. I'm addicted
- Wayne BennettJanuary 5, 2018Their mini French sandwiches with French mustard are delicious. The French breads great too.
Dona HFebruary 18, 2015I wish I could have all of them. Tried the St Honore tart. Absolutely lovely.
Elizabeth OtaolaFebruary 15, 2015Everything is simply amazing. This place is a MUST. Favorite thing: the pistachio financier
Constance YJanuary 8, 2019Must try their seasonal onion bread! My go to place for baguette and their olive bread
- Camille LJune 20, 2015Delicious tartlets and pastries! Perfect for a relaxing Saturday afternoon of shopping ;)
- Solène MaîtreNovember 22, 2014Pain au Chocolat and Brioche are as good as those from Kayser in Paris. The baguette is not French-approved.
Judy CariMarch 30, 2015Brunch on weekends, come early. This location is smaller than UES and Flatiron, but just as good!
Great selection of pastries and breads, tasty egg dishes. Solid service
Mason Interactive | New. Media. Marketing.January 16, 2014This authentic Parisian outpost dresses it's staff in Saint James marinières. They make a perfect café au lait
Fantastic pastries and coffee to go, plus full dinner menu. A welcome addition to Columbus Circle.
Sung HwangFebruary 14, 2016Go to place in my hood for my sweet tooth or any special occasion to pick up desserts or the pain au chocolat!
Ana CaiadoAugust 30, 2015Avocado toast and egs, it was so great I came back on the next day to repeat ;)
Emma FeketeMarch 27, 2014Best lunch date spot, excellent French food and some of the best desserts in New York City.
Michael H.October 15, 2013Right off of the circle and close proximity to Central Park. Great staff and management.
The pain au chocolat, almond croissant and chocolate almond croissant are must trys here
White chocolate brioche. Get it even if you don't like white chocolate. Trust me.
