Jean Danet Pastry Shop and Caffe' — Restaurant in New York

Every place has something it's known for. I'm not sure what Jean Danet's specialty is but I can certainly tell you that they have more to offer than just pastries. If you're in the mood of some coffee, they make a mean Latte and Cappuccino, the small size offers just the right combo of espresso and milk. With that latte you MUST have their APPLE TURNOVER! I've tried picking them up in the afternoon and they were all gone, a common occurrence according to the staff. Should they be out of the turnover, get the APPLE Strudel (huge and not overly sweet like some), but baked to perfection. The next two recommendations I'm particularly proud of sharing because when I "discovered" them I felt I knew something few did. Their PIZZA! I've gone with the square margarita with fresh basil, by the pie because one slice is never enough! And if they don't have one ready, in 15 minutes it's ready for you fresh from their authentic wood burning stove. For desert, seasonally, they offer up Gelato. The real deal. I've tried most of their flavors, and must say their Hazelnut and strawberry flavors are simply awesome! Honorable mention; Butter pecan. The Strawberry Banana Chocolate cake is very tasty and I've heard the cheesecake is wonderful (not a fan of cheesecake so I've never tried). Oh, and let's not forget about their rainbow cookies chocolate croissants (full stop)! Sorry for the long review. Two years worth of tasting to fit into this...

This is a high quality pastry shop with the highest quality of ingredients at affordable prices. I favor their blueberry crumb pie, its been the same great way its always been, And believe it or not its still the same price as it was 20 years ago, but might have went up only a dollar in comparison for example to fine pizzerias to whereas the pizza pies went up about about 5 dollars or more compared to 20 years ago. Just an example, but almost everything else in this pastry shop as well is about the same affordable price, and ive always gotten very friendly customer service from the workers in my time of shopping there and all the cashier girls are always pleasant and sweet hearted. I was actually there yesterday to pick up some Irish soda bread and i needed 2 of them, and luckily, it just so happens i bought the last 2. So i could have happen to wind up waiting an hour or 2 for a new batch to come out the oven, so i recommend, as i have done in the past, is call first to see if they have and place some on hold for when you arrive to pick up, or if none of what you are looking for is available at the moment, you can place an order and they will have it ready for you for your scheduled pick up time. So place an order now, and stop by soon for a sweet...

I came in during the afternoon time. I ordered a coffee and it wasn’t made the way I asked for, I let it go thinking that they changed the taste. Later that evening I thought i’d give the pastry shop a try, but I had a worse experience. I came to place my order and there were two young lady’s behind the counter that were talking and the one with the glasses was extremely rude and unprofessional, she should not be working in the service industry. Her attitude was so bad. She was finding any way not be at the register and to not help me out, I come here often whenever I visit NYC and this is the third time. I let it go for the first two time and nothing has changed, I wouldn’t recommend this...
