{petite} maman

My mom & I had walked past this place our entire trip but never stopped but on our last day we decided to and it was so good! I got the Vanilla Honey Butter Latte & my mom got the Iced Apple cider & the cheddar scallion scone. The lady at the register, Maca was so nice & I loved talking with her!

A perfect rainy morning retreat just steps from Grand Central. This cafe offers a quiet charm amid the Midtown rush, wrapped in floral vines and a touch of French countryside fantasy. I ordered a cappuccino and a pistachio chocolate croissant. The cappuccino was smooth, creamy, and balanced—served in their signature patterned cup that somehow makes the drink feel more personal.

May be the worst “French bakery” I’ve tried all year. Charging artisanal bakery prices for Starbucks quality bakes. Private Equity really trying to turn this brand into the next Panera. The Kouign Amman was heavier than a hockey puck and filled with underbaked dough. Truly atrocious, would never come back.

The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, with just the right balance of indulgent and wholesome. Their baked goods are especially standout—clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, which made the experience even better.

Loved the varieties here! It was my first time trying out this cafe. We got the pecan chocolate croissant roll, pumpkin pie croissant cube (seasonal), egg and spinach quiche, egg salad croissant sandwich. Absolutely delicious and freshly baked. The best quiche I ever had. Would love to try other items on the menu.
