In Short – An assembly line of staffers in this slender, well-lit storefront keep the cream puffs rolling into eager customers' hands. The puffs are made with two layers: The first is choux pastry, which is the pastry that's used in eclairs and profiteroles; the second layer is pie pastry. The puffs are filled to order with a whipped cream-custard mixture. The puffs are best when eaten straightaway, but they can be refrigerated and eaten later.

Best Cream Puffs in the Planet!
by Pconnors at Citysearch
Definitely the best cream puffs ever. The only downside is the wait on line and the price but overwise...they're the best.
My favorite use to be panade in the LES but this place beats them in favor and freshiness. Can't wait to go back!

mmm mmm good!
by boomoola at Citysearch
Bite down on the crisp outer shell and cool, sweet, rich, buttery vanilla cream spurts into your mouth and as it travels down your throat, its hard not to close your eyes and say mmm mmm good! Try the chocolate eclair - it's an outrageous treat for the tastebuds as well and at that price, it's a steal!
- Pros: best cream puff

Best dessert
by fushigisushi at Citysearch
The freshly baked puff pastry with rich cream inside is just perfect. The cream is just sweet enough. Along with the normal flavor, I highly recommend trying the green tea flavor as well as chocolate. Much more satisfying than your average donut.
- Pros: price, cream puffs, fresh ingredients
- Cons: not good after 1 day

Heaven
by nyc10 at Citysearch
They are little clouds of heaven. I served them at a dinner party...and wow, did they go. Even the green tea ones. Deceivingly light and fluffy.
- Pros: fast service, affordable, satisfying
- Cons: seating

Delicious
by sjw-eightytwo at Citysearch
Despite the somewhat off-putting aroma about this place, the cream puffs are GREAT! Very, very tasty food and you're certainly not going to break the bank here. The regular cream puff was delicious, the eclair, while nice, isn't quite as fresh. I didn't try the flavor of the day, I'll save that for next time. Very nice service, too.
- Pros: Delicious, Cheap, Friendly service
