We stopped by Barachou to satisfy our sweet tooth, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered a choux set with the lemon meringue, caramel, and crème brûlée flavors. Every one of them was delicious, with an incredibly light texture and perfectly crisp pastry. Our favorites were the caramel and the lemon meringue--the caramel was rich without being overly sweet, while the lemon had just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess. We also tried the almond pear tart, which was excellent. The crust was buttery and crisp, and the frangipane had a wonderful almond flavor that paired beautifully with the pears. It was a perfectly balanced dessert. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. We'll definitely be back to try more of the pastries! read more

5/5 ... pleasantly surprised! We visited Barachou's booth at the Bastille Day celebration in New York on Sunday, July 11, and it ended up being one of our favorite food stops of the day. We ordered the pear almond tart along with the set of three cream puff choux. Both were excellent, but the cream puffs were definitely the highlight. The choux shells were light and delicate, while the fillings were rich without being overly sweet. The salted caramel was my favorite--beautifully balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a subtle hint of salt. My partner especially loved the lemon meringue, which was bright, refreshing, and full of citrus flavor. The pear almond tart was equally memorable. The almond filling immediately reminded us of a galette des rois frangipane, making it comforting, buttery, and incredibly satisfying. Combined with the pears, it struck a wonderful balance of richness and fruitiness. Everything tasted thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients, and it's easy to see why Barachou has developed such a loyal following. We'll absolutely be back for another pear almond tart and the trio of cream puffs the next time we have the chance. Highly recommended! read more

Today, Monday, I picked up an order using the To Good To Go (TGTG) app, which helps reduce food waste in our communities. This is end of day food, or prior day's left-over food from stores and restaurants. The items were supposed to be a value of $15, but the items in the bag were not that value, nor were they in-house baked goods. They gave me 2 stale cut up baguettes, which they normally don't even sell, nor are they on their menu. According to the counter staff person, they order them from somewhere else so they can sell them on the weekends. (So they were baked Friday?) The counter staff person said her boss packed the TGTG bag and there was nothing she could do. I question these baguettes: which kitchen were they cooked in? Someone's home kitchen? I've never seen baguettes sold or baked in Reb's store, only desserts. In fact, this is what Barachou advertises: "Handcrafted choux à la crème, tarts, and viennoiseries -- all made fresh daily." Anyway, what I got were 2 stale baguettes which were cut in half so as to fit in the bag and one croissant (that's fine). The baguettes are inedible, and they can't be price verified because they are not even on their menu. If they're going to advertise on TGTG, then they need to honor the intent of the app, and provide the stated value of yesterday's leftover OR extra dessert items. This was bait and switch. Bait & switch means you advertise one deal (ie "$15 value") but replace it with a much cheaper deal. TGTG customers know they are getting day old or end of day items, valued as such. But they should not be shortchanged and given $5-$8 values that are advertised as $15 or $18. The bag should have had something like a cookie and 2 almond croissants or 3 specialized croissants. Even more disappointing as I have shopped here often especially when she was first starting out during the pandemic. Sorry Reb, but you lost me as a loyal customer. ***editing to respond to owner: I've never had a TGTG restaurant regift another restaurant's goods yet claim they are baked fresh in store. I've also never gotten baguettes that are already cut up for me. Do they do it that way in France? Also does Bread's bakery know that you probably buy their baguettes three for $5 special and then probably resell them at your store? Or do they deliver direct to you as one of their vendors? Just curious. read more

Barachou was pretty good but nothing special IMHO. First and foremost, the price of their cream puffs for that size is absolutely ridiculous. Just go to Bibble & Sip if you want reliable tasty cream puffs at a good price. My friend and I got their take on a tiramisu and the passionfruit tart. The tiramisu pudding(?) was good but nothing special. The passionfruit tart's cream was lovely but the outer shell/baked crust was so hard that it was basically inedible. I also got the unsweetened passionfruit tea which was fine but again, nothing special. All in all, Barachou didn't live up to its hype for me. read more

Barachou - Passionfruit Tart, Tiramisu(?), Passionfruit Tea - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I checked out Barachou for dessert since we were in the area. The shop is very small, and if they decide to expand, I hope they decide to offer more seating options. Right now, there's only room for one party to sit down, so you either need to bank on the fact that you're going at an off-time, or know you're grabbing and going. The displays are cute and cozy, and the presentation of the tarts, puffs, and pastries are beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised by these puffs, as I thought they would just be instagrammable and offer nothing else. We got the special of three puffs for $10. The puffs are tiny and bite-sized, which is the only reason I think they are overpriced. We got the passionfruit puffs and split the lemon meringue. If you like passionfruit, I highly recommend the passionfruit puff. The tangy flavor really came through and balanced nicely with the pastry, even with a generous amount of filling. I would have liked a stronger lemon flavor for the lemon meringue, but it may have been influenced by the power of passionfruit. These puffs would make a great gift for someone special who likes pastries, or a treat for yourself if you're treating yourself. I'm just a glutton who isn't a big fan on spending on something that is so tiny, but I cannot deny that it was a quality bite. read more

Try the mini croissants! Enough said! Also very friendly staff! Very quick service, usually in and out of this place within 5 minutes.

Delicious cream puffs! The service was fast and nice. The cream puffs were delicious and pretty. They even have a class for decorating choux. They also have a location in the East Village. Cute shop inside, and they pack the choux nicely. They have macarons and cake too. read more

I got the passionfruit meringue tart and three cream puffs- flavors: tiramisu, whipped cream, and dulce de leche. Passionfruit meringue tart: I was most amazed by this one. The crust was delightfully crunchy in a texturally very satisfying way that was a nice contrast with the creamy passionfruit filling and fluffy meringue. The passionfruit filling is flavor forward and was the right amount of sweetness and tartness. I know it's a meringue tart but I wish there was more of the passionfruit filling and less meringue tbh. If you like passionfruit, this is a must-try for sure. Even if you don't have a particular liking for passionfruit, I think you'd still find this so delicious. Dulce de leche cream puff: Out of the three flavors, this was for sure the best one. The pastry has a nice soft crunch and the puff was properly filled. The cream filling was light and fluffy, and the dulce de leche on top was very flavorful and added a delicious sweetness to each bite. Whipped cream cream puff: my favorite part of this one was the little pastry hat on top that was satisfying to just munch off. Other than that, it's good but in a mid way, just cuz it's literally just whipped cream inside the puff. Tiramisu cream puff: Ugh I was so excited for this one cuz I loveee tiramisu and everything tiramisu flavored but damn what a disappointment. The pastry had a dense, soggy, chewy texture as opposed to the cream puffs that had a nice bite to em. The inside was not properly filled at all, it was like one fat dot. Maybe I just got an unlucky unfortunate cream puff. The flavor itself was spot on tiramisu taste with an espresso filling and sweet mascarpone cream on top. You do wanna get all the components in one bite tho cuz the filling is surprisingly bitter but works when it's with the sweet top. read more

I would legitimately give them 100 stars if I could! The BEST little French cream puffs and tartes in the city! These are honestly my favorite treat. My personal favorites aside from the cream puffs are the passion fruit and seasonal apple tartes, but everything is delicious. You can taste the freshness in the ingredients and see how much love goes into making their desserts beautiful. We always order the larger size tartes for special occasions. I also really appreciate that it's a small business, female owned, and the staff is always lovely. It's a special shop and we are so lucky to have them in the neighborhood. read more

Barachou - Cream puffs - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

I stopped in on a whim and picked up 3 little cream puffs for $10. The crème brûlée was my favorite by far. The cream was smooth and sweet, and the caramelized sugar added a nice element of texture to it. The lemon meringue was delicious, but I wish it was more lemony and tangy. The mango was their special flavor, and I found the cream to be gritty. It tasted vaguely fruity, but I wouldn't say it was mango flavored. There is minimal seating on the inside and a small patio for outside seating. It's a great spot for a mid-day sweet treat given how small and light the cream puffs are. read more

YUM!!!!! Don't know if I haven't had legit cream puffs or if I have just not tried GOOD cream puffs in my life but these little pastries were amazing! Love that there's an option to a get a box to try multiple. Also the server was super friendly and offered recommendations to try. There's some inside and outside seating, not super big but on a Monday morning I had no problem finding a seat to enjoy these bites of heaven. 1. Classic: super light and sweet 2. Hazelnut: this is coated in chocolate and has a cream filling. If you sit outside, eat this fast so it doesn't melt 3. Raspberry (my personal fave): any time a non-chocolate dessert is better than a chocolate dessert for me , I know it's good. This was the perfect summer treat. Super fruity and sweet. Was very tempted to go back for a box for just these read more

A cute little shop in UWS specializing in French pastries, specifically pate a choux. We grabbed a box of three petite choux cream to try. All their flavors were very enticing but we ended up with Pistachio, Creme Bruleé, and Tiramisu. I enjoyed all of them. The fillings were all very creamy and flavorful. The choux itself was also nice with a crunchy craquelin top. My favorite was the Pistachio though. Would love to try all their flavors at some point. They have very few small bar seatings so I wouldn't bank on dining in. read more

Such a lovely treat! The cream puffs, while small, are more than enough and are absolutely stuffed with cream. My favorites were the lemon and caramel (on the ends). They're pretty pricey for their size but worth the hype in my opinion. They are just the right level of sweet and serve as a great gift as well. This location is pretty small and is just grab and go with small bar seating. read more

They were not filled more than 1cm, there was a huge hole in the bottom. The top was full of sugar and the cream puff itself was tasteless. The Crème Brûlée was terrible, I couldn't even finish it. The whipped cream was tasteless. All the others were unfilled and sad. Had cream puffs in Paris and these did not even come close, most went into the trash. Pricing also obscene. Will not be returning. Very disappointing. read more

I was on the UWS for a doctors appointment. I saw their sign outside for the puff pastries and thought I need to come back after the doctors appointment. One hour, a latte, croissant, and six macaroons later I was hooked to the point I texted my friend who lives on The Upper West Side that this needs to be a regular spot for her. Can't wait to go back for more macaroons that feel like you're in France yet you're only on the Upper West Side in New York City. read more

If we are craving for choux, Barachou is definitely one of our new to-go places in NYC. The decor is exquisite and adorable with dreamy pink colors. There are 8 different options of choux and we got 6 of them in a box. Our favorite flavors were the vanilla and the hazelnut. Their filling is delicate, light and not too sweet. The size is perfect for one or two bites so we can have more than 1 choux without guilt to have too much dessert. read more

There's def room for improvement here. I must preface by saying that I did not try the cream puffs which is basically their specialty. I was swayed by the other delicious looking pastries ~$14 later with vanilla flan pastry & chocolate chip cookie I was left somewhat underwhelmed. The chocolate chip cookie looked so delicious I pumped myself up convincing myself it be the best chocolate chip I tasted. Sadly it was not, it was just ok. Something about the taste was off, not even a top 5. The flan pastry was good. You can really taste the vanilla bean & they have perfected the texture. If you are not into custards, I don't know that you'll be a fan of this. The spot it's so cute I definitely will give it another go, perhaps trying the cream puffs next time. read more

I like that they're small, making them easy to enjoy in two or three bites versus some of the other gigantic cream puffs you can get in the city. I'll definitely be back here for more! read more

I am at a lost for words. I feel like fighting someone.. I also feel like running into the bosom of my mother crying. This pastry isn't just a good bite. It takes you out of this universe. It invoked emotion inside me. I want to dance, cry, sing, and fight. My day improved after I ate this. I just continue my day like nothing happened. But something happened, I felt something. I felt everything all at once. "Cream puff" What are you I haven't a clue I'll just take a bite Because that's what I do The outside like a donut The inside a custard I wanted to sing And then I just lost it Throwing punches at nothing While tears form in my eyes I begin to dance But I don't know why read more

I sooooo wanted to love this little shop. The person working in the store was sweet, professional and friendly (June 1, 2025 @4pm). Where did things go wrong? The cream puffs. Sadly they were grossly overpriced (we bought 3 tiny cream puffs for $11.50!!!) We took one bite of each and tossed them. Why? The cream puffs aren't filled to order; rather, they sit in a display case and get soggy from the moisture of the filling. Also they topping where cloyingly sweet. Sorry but product needs a better recipe and simply doesn't taste good. Beard Papa makes a far better, freshly filled cream puff that is not soggy. Honestly, if we could get a refund, I certainly appreciate it. read more

3.5 / 5.0 - This is such a cute little pastry shop! The staff are very friendly, too. These little cream puffs are the perfect size for trying different flavors. The whipped cream on top of the cream puffs is a little too much for me, but the cream inside is light and fluffy and they are perfect for cream-lovers. By the end of the day, many of the popular flavors are gone, so if there are specific flavors you want to try, I'd recommend going earlier in the day. read more
