Le Paris Dakar — Restaurant in New York

Highly Aggressive Female Owner!!!

I do not normally leave negative reviews, especially for small businesses, but I felt that future patrons of this establishment should be forewarned at how the female owner treats her regular customers.

I go into the bakery, smiling and greeting the employee, giving her my usual order. Within a couple of minutes of being in the shop, I'm assailed by the female owner who accuses me a leaving her business a negative review.

Then, it threatens me to never return to her establishment if I do not immediately delete the review.

As I'm writing this, I'm still in great shock. I go to both locations several times a week, chatting with both the owner and employees, even once complimenting the owner on how polite her son was.

What's mind-boggling is that the owner never stopped to ask herself if perhaps my Yelp account had been compromised. What sense would it make for me to leave a negative review, knowing that the owner will come across it and continue to go to the bakery on a regular basis.

It's a real shame to run a business in such a fashion. I will happily go elsewhere. You didn't just lose...

first of all: I paid 8 dollars for a smoothie that is just syrup and ice. Second: girl working the register was rude from the start, no greeting just "what do you want". When i asked questions she pointed at things as if i were stupid. third: They have a no computer work inside policy to save space for "customers eating on a time limit" which is quite absurd and ridiculous. I work from home on fridays and wanted to work outside of my house. Its a coffee shop I should be allowed to do my work there. Fourth: when i realized I couldnt do my work, i asked for a refund because the only reason i came was to do work and they told me they had already made my smoothie so they couldnt refund me. That was a lie. I watched them make my smoothie for the next 5 minutes. needless to say i am disappointed i wasted my money, time (and company time), and consideration on this place. The smoothie was...

very cute little spot on the corner of Nostrand and Macon. The servers did mention that they are opening up a new spot as well, a couple of blocks from this one, where they will be serving senegalese food. This spot is self service, you go to the counter and order and then grab a table. They have a couple of planks outdoors where you can sit and enjoy your coffee too.

They have coffee, tea, crepes and pastries. I did like the coffee here, I might make it my go to outdoor spot if its not crazy on the weekends. We also tried the crepes, the smoked salmon with behamel was delicious as was the ham and cheese. we got the cheesecake strawberry crepe for dessert, and while delicious, it wasnt very cheesecake-y.

the servers are good, very helpful and the place is light and airy. we spent about 30$ for 3 crepes and coffee....
