L’Appartement 4F — Restaurant in New York

I visited on a Saturday morning and unsurprisingly, there was a line. It moved pretty quickly though, so I only stood in line for about 10-15 mins. When you get to the front, it’s just a window for you to place your order. Very cute vibes! I ordered the raspberry croissant, pistachio rose croissant, and the tahini cookie. The raspberry croissant was my favorite. The sourness of the raspberry pairs really well with the buttery croissant. However, the other items were way too sweet. There wasn’t much of that nutty flavor I was looking for in the pistachio croissant. The cookie was just super sweet and not worth the hype. The most disappointing part, however, was how they just threw everything into a single paper bag. All the pastries ended up just getting smushed together, which doesn’t make for a pleasant consumer experience. I would’ve appreciated if they separated the pastries with mini paper bags or even with the parchment paper they pick it up. But for me, it looked like it was just haphazardly thrown inside. I paid ~$20 for 3 pastries so it’s obviously not cheap, and I stood in line and waited. So I was expecting a little more care and...

Must try bakery in the West Village, known for their croissants. Try the raspberry.

Arrived just before 11am on a Saturday and they had most items available. Recommend getting there before Noon as items start to sell out.

Raspberry had an intense raspberry flavor with a hint of sourness. I loved the flavor. But it was a little sweet and could do without the marzipan which complements but a little restraint would make it better.

Chocolate almond croissant was a close second but also too sweet. Would have preferred chunks of chocolate with more intense chocolate flavor instead of the cream with the marzipan.

Order comes in a bag unless you request a box. It was fine but items could get smashed if you aren’t careful. I had it with a Cappuccino👍

Overall, it’s a great operation and a must try for the area. I hope they iterate on less...

I visited on a weekday afternoon after seeing this place recommended on social media as one of the best croissant spots in the city. I wanted to try both the raspberry almond and pistachio croissants, but when I arrived just after 1pm, the raspberry was already sold out. I ended up getting a pistachio croissant and a cold brew.

The shop is strictly takeout, so you order from the window outside. The weather was nice, so I could enjoy my food outdoors, but I imagine it might be tough on a bad weather or cold day. The pistachio croissant was pretty tasty—slightly soft in the center, but still flavorful. It was a bit small for $8, but it made me even more curious to come back and try the raspberry...
