Kimberly P: Cronuts were def worth the wait - so good. Frozen s'mores were really good too.
💖✨Brigitte V.✨💖: By far, the DKA is better than the Cronut! It's actually the best DKA I've ever eaten in the US! Skip the Cronut line, by getting a Cronut Pass, or coming here outside of work days.
Divya Menon: DKA and freshly baked Madeleines my fav! Cookie shot is really cool and yum too. I am not a Cronut fan sorry!

Da Jung Chung: Don't miss the salted caramel and the pistachio macaroons. They really are a true bliss!
Natalia Goreva: Rose petals and salted caramel macaroons are the best. Coffee ice-cream was really good too. Paris-themed displays are gorgeous! As to their no photo policy, we took a bunch of pics, they didn't mind!
Lindsey Cohen: Best macarons anywhere! worth the line even in the cold!
Lily Fu: Brioche is amazing. Sugar is phenomenal but my favorite is the chocolate chip. It's sweet but not too sweet. I come here regularly 😊
Anne Marie Ward: One of the best French bakeries that I have been to in the city. The brioche is heavenly. So is the meringue.
Ahuva: French pastry galore, the brioche is fantastic and the daily fresh sandwiches (Brie, turkey, Swiss) are delicious and a great bargain at $4.50.

Joanne Pang: Cute cafe with a more extensive food, drink, and dessert menu. Try a rose, vanilla, or pistachio macaron -- or all three!
Kino: Skip the brunch items, and go with the Croissant, Pan au Chocolat, cakes, and macarons. The Mille Feuille Praline & Salted Caramel Macaron are delicious.

Alex Rainert: Amazing French pastries, breads and baked goods, great atmosphere and solid lunch/brunch options including this brisket burger w/ crispy fries. Prices aren't low but the experience lives up to them.

Angela Hum: The banana coconut chocolate croissant (from the bakery in the front) is my new favorite pastry!! If you're looking for a small treat, it's a must have!
