The Story – The year was 1886 when Fauchon's first store opened its doors to sell Parisians some of the same delicacies you'll still find there today. More cosmopolitan than ever, the New York branch of the now worldwide chain links to the lobby of the Swissotel New York, the Drake. – – Who's Buying – Classic "my-wife-is-French"-"my-husband-is-rich" couples. Guests creating house-gift baskets worthy of at least a full week's stay. Anyone longing for a simple Parisian breakfast in bed. – – What to Buy – One of everything--if you can afford…

Not there any more

Pros and cons are irrelevant; the Park Avenue shop closed years ago.

Avoid for tea service
by cylonmag at Citysearch
This was one of the worst teaing places I've been too. I can't believe they call themselves french. They served domino sugar with their coffee and had pastries that were mediocre at best. For an "upscale" and pricey place I would of expect nothing less than cube sugars. As for service they were even worse, we had to flag a waiter down to get seated and while they were serving us they were constantly reaching over me.
- Pros: cute store front
- Cons: expensive and horrible tea sandwiches and pastries

C'est si bon:)

Fauchon's chocolates and pastries are delicious. The price is a little steep but well worth it. Service is a little slow..so be sure that if you go, you are not in a hurry.

Cutest Tea Salon
by golightly9 at Citysearch
Forget the shop, the best reason to come to Fauchon is to have high tea, and there is no cuter place in the city to do it! The salon is a delicate pink and gold jewelbox, and the treat are outstanding. If you love chocolate with hazelnut, you won't want to miss the Papilotte. Coffee lovers will adore the Opera pastery. They also have divine croissants (well they are French after all!)
- Pros: Great pasteries, Cute environment, Wonderful Croissants
- Cons: Expensive

- Pros: Packaging, Presentation, Elegant
