Only stopped by for a quick cold brew on a hot summer day! Went with the cappucino with caramel syrup. It was delicious. They have a ton of sandwiches, pastries and macaroons. The were well staffed and the line moved fast. Plenty of indoor seating or outdoors in their cute shack!!
Great place to stop by for a quick happy hour or coffee if you’re in the Oculus. My friend and I came here for a few drinks while shopping in the area and we had a pleasant experience.
We sat at the bar, which I personally feel has a better atmosphere due to the softer lighting than in their outer seating area. We ordered the espresso martini (subtle coffee taste and not too sweet) the lemon ginger pop (tasted more gin-based than vodka), and a Malbec. The wine had a bit too much of a sour taste for my liking.
Service could have been more cordial, which is the reason for knocking off a star.
All in all, I recommend this spot for drinks if you are in the area.
I just got a small coffee and everyone loved the coffee. It is a great place and will go again when I go back to nyc!!! Everyone should try it when you go to nyc!!
stopped in 3 days in a row for jambon buerre. great sandwich and we were in and out in just a few minutes each time.
exactly what I was looking for.
Good quality food and customer service
Highly recommend their food. The Cobb salad has no business being this good for a salad.
Recommend the Cubano. Can’t go wrong grilled cheese either.
Almond croissant is fantastic.
Items in my pictures are the Nicoise Tuna Salad, Cubano Sandwich, almond croissant, Pain Au chocolat, Chicken Cobb salad, grilled cheese and a chocolate pastry.
For me, the perfect pair is Cobb salad with a cubano.
🥐GET THEIR CROISSANT! I gave the review 4 overall but their croissant deserves 5. It was flaky outside the edge, soft inside but strong enough with chewy texture for you to “pull” when you take a bite. The orange flourless dessert is a little bit dull. Smooth mousse with soggy biscuit which lost the texture. Rich chocolate taste with a hint of orange without surprises..
If I were rich, this would be a regular hangout for me. This is a great place for a casual bite. They got little of everything. Oysters, pate, great breads, lovely pastries, great coffee drinks, fantastic wines by the glass. It is a bit expensive so more if a special treat while you wait for your show across the street. Unless, $40 for a small sandwich, a tiny pastry, and a glass of wine is not a stretch for your budget. But if you’re visiting from Oklahoma and you wanna know what good pate on crunchy baguette tastes like, this is way cheaper than going to Paris.
The place has outdoor seating with heaters. It was pretty comfortable to sit to enjoy a small pastry and a coffee. The uniqueness of the cannelet and every pastry added to the view and location make it bearable to handle the cold especially with the various heaters available outdoor. Totally recommend
If you like charcuterie boards, or meat and cheese and bread in general, this is your place.
We stopped in here a VERY cold January morning after visiting Central Park to warm up with coffee and fill our hungry stomachs.
We both got sandwiches - I got the Vermonter which has apple, turkey, and brie, and my friend got the jambon beurre. Super filling, we only ate half and saved the rest for a snack.
Fabulous service too. Personable, kind, and speedy.
I tried it because it was 1 of 15 best bakeries in NYC at Eater or some website. Yes, indeed it was Great croissants. The service is normal. It could be slow.
I have tried sandwich and it was ok. I have not tried the oyster bar. Looking forward to it.
Amazing pain au chocolat! Really enjoyed it and think it’s one of the best I’ve tried here in NYC. We also ordered their vegetable sandwich which was great too. Cold brew was okay! Great location to people watch. The staff was kind too.
Great spot for a quick bite. They have a variety of salads, sandwiches, deserts, and fine canned goods. I had a sandwich, which was tasty. I do find most items overpriced though.
The almond croissant has a huge quantity of almond frangipane inside.
It is the best-tasting almond croissant that I have ever had.
I drove all the way out from Eastern Long Island to eat it, this past Sunday when it was easy to find free street parking.
This is one of the few places in America where I can order a Niçoise Salade. It is not nearly as good as the one that I ate in Nice, France, where the salad originates, but it will do. The Lavazza coffee here is spectacular for its potency and smoothness. The pâté selections here are enormous. The liver is my favorite. Épicerie Boulud is the closest to French Café culture that I have seen anywhere in the USA. Well done, Mr. Boulud, well done.
Good customer service. clean restaurant.
Some of choices for vegetarian.
I like the Butternut squash soup (its vegetarian)
And the grilled vegetable panini sandwich which is fine.
