Patis Bakery — Restaurant in Lyndhurst

First of all, I like their olive bread.

That’s why I’m giving two stars.

But the service here SUCKS.I’m assuming the workers aren’t getting paid enough?

Or the owners just don’t care because it will sell anyways?

Inside the bakery is extremely disorganized.Nobody knows where to wait, where to order.Awkwardness going all over the place.

Workers are literally ignoring you.Trying not to see you to not have to help out.You have to yell I need help buying something for them to even look at you.

It’s like they are the customers.You feel like you are begging to give your money to the bussiness “oh take my money pleaseee and give me bread” attitude.

Some wait by the register? Some wait by the breads while others are waiting in the middle.And the workers aren’t instructing the right way.So that makes it even more awkward everytime you go back.

They just take orders from here and there, wherever they see you.That’s extremely uncomfortable for every single person waiting inside.

PUT SOME SIGNS AND HELP PEOPLE KNOW WHERE TO WAIT FOR THEIR TURN.

On top of that,

Seating area is always dirty.If you find a clean table, chair will be nasty.If you find a clean chair, table will be dirty.

I come here at least once a week.This is my last visit until some things change.

I’m writing this review in hope for change.I believe in constructive criticism.

Thank you and hope you...

Patis stands now on the site of longtime Lyndhurst icon Mazurs Bakery. It's very difficult to replace an icon with a quality business of a similar nature, but Patis succeeds vastly in that mode. Granted, it is not a full fledged all everything bakery, but rather a specific type production, geared toward a more orthodox bakery consuming clientele. All items are baked under Orthodox supervision and have to be made under certain specifications. This is why one will notice all bakery goods are separated according to type. Separate cabinets are designated for dairy, non dairy, Parve, which means the items can be eaten with either milk or meat products (but not both simultaneously - that's a dietary no-no), and Chalav Yisrael, which means the milking of the cows is to a certain specification, (If you're interested in learning more about these specifications, you can look it up). Dietary laws are very specific, and many times in no uncertain terms, and Patis strives to observe them. Regardless, their bakery goods are very top notch, and their coffee is quite satisfactory. If you're concerned about wheelchair or mobility device access, Patis has automatic doors to help facilitate ingress and egress. The staff is also very good, and even though the prices may be a bit more, you're going to get a higher quality...

Thoroughly disappointing from start to finish - both from a service and taste perspective. Encountered horrific and bizarre (lack of basic customer) service when the counterwoman who was serving my family walked off for no apparent reason in middle of taking our order - my father, sister and I felt we were observing a very strange robotic meltdown. Then, after reappearing behind the counter after a significant absence to resume taking our order, she made no effort to explain or apologize for walking away in middle of taking our order???

The pizzas, pastries and macarons we purchased were widely panned by those who had the misfortune of consuming them. I only ate the macarons, which, although appearing on the outside to rival the technical execution perfection of Laduree’s, upon consumption quickly dispelled my Laduree delusions. Patis’ macarons were simply tasteless!

Patis attempts to create a veneer of quality and service - but, in my opinion, is mostly smoke and mirrors for a captive kosher...
