I go here 2-3x a week. Today there was inappropriate music blaring. F-bomb and N-bomb every third word. I watched two different moms with kids, leave. Big guy helped me at the counter. I said “odd choice of music” and he started singing along with it. I asked who chooses the music and he pointed at himself while he kept singing. I asked who the manager was and he did the same. I left. 3 new bakeries have opened within about 1 block. Guess I’ll be trying a new place.

a great place for a delicious sweet or savory pastry treat or meal. Many self-serve. Donuts, tarts, croissants, breads, etc. All looking truly spectacular. You could build a nice lunch with savory items available. We were here for a dessert after lunch and it was quite the dilemma to choose. After much deliberation we chose two items-a Raspberry Fruit Bite which is basically a square croissant filled with pastry cream and topped with a few fresh raspberries and a seasonal treat, the Croissant Donut filled with Nutella. It’s 100% accurate to say both of these were world class. The pastry layers were perfectly baked, berries fresh, cream creamy, and the Nutella was the perfect amount and match to the flaky dough. I am fortunate enough to have a location coming to my area and will be looking to visit day one and often after that. There are around 100 locations in the US and Canada so if you are near one and love a good bakery, search this out.

I've heard so much about them and hence wanted to give them a try. Since I got here just after lunch and with a coffee in hand, I could only try out their Ganache Cream Cake Slice. It wasnt life changing but was pretty yummy.
In case you are looking for a place to hang out while getting dessert or a coffee, this is the place to be!They have a large enough seating. They have an extensive bakery and dessert menu accompanied by a large coffee selection.

Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I tried the hot chocolate and it tasted watered down. I also got the chocolate croissant and it was delicious. Other than that service was great & no other complaints.

The place has a great spread of everything you could enjoy like pastries (Korean and non Korean) and breads, coffees, drinks, sandwiches, and cakes. The location on Lexington Avenue between 85th and 86th is perfect bc the subway runs right to 86th street and Lexington avenue. You have tables to sit and enjoy and people watch. The bakery has so much good stuff you will want to try everything. And they are light and fluffy and not too sweet. The only thing I was very disappointed with is that there is no designated handicapped table so someone in a wheelchair would have to sit without a table to eat on despite their limited use of hands and body. No one was offering a piece of their table either to share. It was sad to see. Prices are reasonable despite it being in manhattan.

Great place to get desserts. I've come to this particular location and bought their cream puffes and their hot chocolate. The only issue I have is I found a piece of plastic inside one of the cream puffs I bought. As i was biting into one I sense something hard and ended taking out the piece of plastic (decent size, too) in the picture. The staff might want to double-check so this doesn't happen again, I've shared them with family and would hate to think they might have also had plastic in theirs as well.

Their tiramisu king donut is my favorite pastry there. The others that I liked there are their two cream (chocolate and coconut) filled pastries. Their tiramisu dessert in a cup was enjoyable. They also have a cream cheese pastry (pictured), which one might call a cheese danish, that I liked a lot, the cheese has a delicious, yet uncommon cheese flavor. Many other places offer a cheese pastry that has cheese in it that has melted into the pastry during the baking process. At Paris Baguette the cheese is not melted into the dough and is very good.They have what they call a Pistachio King Cream Donut (pictured) which I felt was a bit too sweet. I cannot recommend their fruit (berry and mango) topped summer pastries. I did not care for their Ganache Cream Slice (pictured here with a chocolate cookie on the top) which I felt lacked enough sweetness. Their other pastries that I tried did not live up to my high expectations. Their chocolate macaroon (found within a mixed box of them) was the only one that I have tried, and it was delicious.
