EXCELLENT croissants!

by curiousg6

BEST croissants in NYC! the coffee is also very good. This place tends to get very busy during rush hours in the mornings, but that usually depends on who they have working that day. If you're lucky you'll get my favorite pair and you'll be in and out with your delicious treats! If you're not so lucky, you'll either be waiting in line for a bit or get some rude service. Regardless, the smell of the place is always pleasant!

• Pros: delicious food, good coffee, good music, sometimes exceptionally friendly
• Cons: staff is always varied, sometimes too slow or rude service, small space

best croissants!

by bandtlc

A taste of paris....my french friends come here for the best croissants in NYC. My personal favorite is the pear william cake.

This place gets trashed regularly on city search for their service, however, I've never had problems. Totally worth the trip downtown.

• Pros: delicious
• Cons: gets very busy

Are they rude on purpose?

by joanaaaa

These employees are so rude, so rude, I can't help thinking it's a marketing strategy -something such as "enjoy the true Paris environment: arrogance and good croissants". It can only be!!!...they are SO rude its surreal. The pastry is nice and I don't want to stop consuming...please give me some ideas to fight back. being equally rude? laughing on their faces? Today's eg (at the counter):

me- I would like to have 2 plain croissants, please

waitress -Do you want a plastic bag?

m-No, thanks, yes...sorry, no, I have one.

w-Yeah! Why don't you change your mind again?

m-I'm sorry, what did you say?

w-Why don't you change your mind again?

... I don't reply back, I pay.

m- Bye

w-...no answer

m-Bye...

w-...no answer

m-Excuse me, what is your name?

Waitress looks at me and walks away.
