Wasn't a croissant fan I tried THIS almond croissant. Didn't expect the pressed technique, but I love it. I totally understand the hype and recommendations now. The rest of the pastry items look fresh and tasty as well--I want to go back and try other items for sure.
It was a choice on a whim! Croissant was really flaky. Chocolate croissant was good. The bacon spinach quiche was out of this world. Apricot tart was very tasty. Lastly, you have to get the eclair mango passion fruit, we all had a taste and we should have went back in to get another one to get more than one bite. We stumbled across Schweppes soda too! The inside of the place is a legit French market. We were helped right on the spot and it was made as it was ordered. The place has a limited coffee selection, the latte and the vanilla latte went well with what was ordered.
I took a late-night flight into town and the next morning my friend had coffee and breakfast waiting. He told me I had to try the croissant because it was from a local bakery, and it was voted the #1 croissant in New York by the NY Daily News. I took a bite, and he was right! My oh my, it was one of the best I've tasted. Layers of buttery, flaky pastry. Perfectly crisp on the edges and fluffy inside. I happened to pass by the shop the next day during my morning run, so I stopped to check it out. The case was loaded with freshly baked goods and other delicious treats. Owner/Chef Laurent is from France, so you are getting authentic French pastries. They also sell a variety of cheeses & other gourmet items.
I love this bakery spot! Their croissants are simply the best and their cookies as well as cakes are pretty decent. They also have bread is fresh and baked on the premises!
There's a wide variety of baked goods here and everything looks super fresh. My go-to is the spinach and feta croissant. The croissant layers and texture are amazing! I also tried the mini apple turnover, but the filling is lacking. I also highly recommend the quiches here. Bring them home and reheat for enhanced taste. The next item I would come back to try is the almond croissant and tart.
Ok a bit too ballsy to claim best croissants in the city, but truthfully they were not bad. It's a good neighborhood spot. My favorite was the fact that after scouring all sorts of specialty French grocers in the city I finally found my long sought Mirabelle jams here. They also have traditional baguettes and love that they make a distinction. There are seats outside, perfect little bench for people watching, while ripping apart a loaf and dipping in jam.
The baguette and classic croissants are delicious and affordable! The other baked items I bought were hit or miss I came on a Sunday and there was a little line that went pretty quickly- always a good sign Here's what I've tried so far: -traditional baguette- this is a bit more expensive than their other baguette. The cashier told me it was chewier and I was pleased with my choice -classic croissant- flaky and messy to eat, as a croissant should be. My boyfriend found it a little salty but I thought it was awesome -chocolate cupcake (called something like explosion or secret?)- filled with an oozing chocolatey center- very good -red velvet cupcake- fine, but nothing special. No special flavor and the cake itself was a bit dry -rainbow cookie- SO disappointing. It was rock hard and just tasted old. We ate it the same day we bought it. Other friends told me it's been good when they bought it in the past I'll definitely come back for French bakery basics or to pick up elements for a charcuterie board like nice cheeses!
