Your money is better spent elsewhere. I was initially so excited to visit this new bakery after seeing all the great reviews. Upon walking in, the lady behind the counter was incredibly rude and didn’t even greet us politely despite our positive and polite greetings to her. Even still, we ordered a cake and a black and white cookie. The cake was a chocolate raspberry mousse and was overpriced at $45. We intentionally chose this bakery to try something new. However, we plan on sticking to our usual Patisserie in Westchester which gives larger, better cakes for a more affordable price. Additionally, the writing on the cake was so poorly done as seen in the photo. The black and white cookie was not a real black and white cookie. It was merely a shortbread cookie with frosting and also not worth the money. The money wouldn’t even matter if the service was better. We asked politely if we could throw out our water bottle in their indoor trash bin and the lady directed us to throw out our minimal trash outside the bakery. I could understand that rationale if it was right before closing but we were at the bakery two whole hours before their closing time. Furthermore, I wanted to take photos of the cute interior to give an honest review of the location but the lady rudely directed me not to take photos despite the many people who have previously taken photos at this facility. Please note that I have done many reviews in many different bakeries throughout NY and different states in the country, and never had an issue with taking photos. Most places, if not all, welcome taking photos without permission. Even if this bakery required permission, the lady could have informed us of the same rather than rudely telling us not to take photos. Additionally, there was no sign stating that you need permission for photos. Generally, I like to leave positive reviews for independent owned businesses and I initially planned on doing the same for this establishment. Considering that we ordered a cake and a cookie despite how poorly and unfairly we were treated throughout the entire interaction, any sweetness from the pastries/cake was soured. We would not recommend visiting this...
Read moreA very nice patisserie outside of Manhattan. I purchased macarons and a couple of pastries for a party.
Why did I take away one star? When I went to pay my credit card didn't work; long story short it was a security hold on the card that was later resolved.
The woman checking me out announced loudly that my card was declined. It was not only embarrassing but I was wondering why on earth my card wouldn't work. I used another card to pay but I don't think the whole store and its customers had to know that my card was not working.
Years ago I worked as a cashier in high school and whenever a customers card was declined I would let them know very quietly and or show them the receipt. I think it's the polite...
Read moreThis place is simply amazing. Probably the best French pastry in New York. I took lots of pictures of different pastries and sent them over to my wife’s cousin’s husband. He said that they definitely look much better than in France.
He’s from Marseille and I take his word for it.
Simply delicious will definitely come back once we move to Stamford, Connecticut.
Update* I showed all the pastries to my wife’s cousin’s husband’s best friend’s fiancé who lives in LA. She also said Oh Wow!! That looks delicious. She is part-owner of a taco place in...
