I remember when Cannelle started off in East Elmhurst as a bakery tucked away in a small shopping center. I'm glad to see that they had expanded to LIC since then my favorites here will always include their espresso cakes and gateau bretons. However, I decided to try something new the last time I stopped by this included a pistachio custard tart of some sort as well as the flan parisien. The former was absolutely delicious, with the pistachio custard, being fantastic and the shell of the tart being buttery and tasty. The flan parisien, however, paled in comparison. In addition to being so soggy, there was a weird apricot I believe jam on the bottom, which was offputting all in all, stick to the classics here but don't hesitate to try something that catches your eye. You might love it, but if not, you know not to try it again. read more

Nice bakery in the LIC area - I really enjoyed the pear tart, and would return to try some of their sandwiches as well. Note that they do allow laptops, which I appreciate. There aren't too many seats, but also isn't the busiest during the week. read more

4.5. Dropped in on Saturday around 6:30pm and picked up a couple pastries to go. The location is on a corner and walking into the store, what comes into view first is the counter with pastry displays and register. For pretty late in the day, I felt lucky there were still quite a few items left! Getting a cannelle was on my mind though these were sold out by the time I arrived, so a pain au chocolate $4.25 and an apple turnover $4.75 it was. For ease of transportation the staff member manning the cashier was able to provide an extra paper baggie for the croissant, though it's extra (I think $0.2?) for a larger bag with handles. Their quality is very consistent and delicious. Buttery, properly laminated and risen, I appreciated the dark chocolate in the pan au chocolate so it wasn't too sweet. The apple turnover was good as well, a little sweeter from the apple filling. So good, especially for the price! read more

Unfortunately they stopped offering pear tarts almost right after I wrote the first review. Instead they have peach tarts, which are not as good. Hopefully they will bring pear tarts back one day. read more

such a cute bakery! They had lots of good options but I went ahead and got the tiramisu and got an iced matcha. The tiramisu looked really good and was amazing! The matcha was good as well and were a good pair. read more

Decent bakery in LIC - not the best around, but you can grab a pastry or mini cake here along with a coffee to get some work done or catch up with a friend. The pastries and cakes are nothing particularly special, and were pretty standard. Not sure if I'd return. read more

this bakery has such a special place in my heart. we've been buying birthday cakes from this bakery for the past year and everything we got (the napoleon, chocolate mousse cake, black forest cake, espresso 31) was delicious! i think the standout is definitely the espresso 31 as it has so many different elements (almond chocolate cake, espresso creme brulee, chocolate mousse, and chocolate pearls). there are lots of different flavors and textures that worked well together. the cake is so good that i've requested it for my birthday again after having it for my last birthday. the rest of my family tried it this time and really liked it too. we've also gotten other goodies like the brownie, cheesecake (amazing), carrot cake, and a roasted chicken and sirarcha sandwich and they were all good! this place is such a gem and we will keep coming back for sure. read more

Delicious desserts. Had their croissants and palmier which were so yummy, flaky to perfection. Also go their sandwich with tuna but it was really hard bread. Tough to chew. There are a few tables and there is also a bathroom available. Their coffee is decent and so is their chai latte. I would go back if I ever in the area again. read more

I am always willing to make the over one-hour trek to Cannelle LIC because of their premium cake quality and reasonable price. ＊Galette des Rois $30 L size Freshly prepared right before I picked it up, the pastry was so buttery, puffy and flaky. A rich almond paste was encased between the golden pastry layers. Surprisingly, the sweetness level of their frangipane is the lowest (compared to Dominique Ansel and Frenchette). Also the mini ceramic they hid in the king's cake was so adorable. What a cute surprise. I enjoyed it both warm and at room temperature, but I do prefer having it reheated in oven before serving to gain back the crispiness. The L size costed only $30 with 8 servings. The most affordable galette des rois I've ever bought. It can be pre-ordered online 24 hours before the pick up date. I also spotted that they sell S size ($20) in store, which is perfect for a smaller household. read more

I've passed Cannelle a couple of times when I walked through Long Island City to the waterfront. On a nice, warm, Sunday morning, I had the chance to check it out and order a morning coffee and a baguette sandwich. The coffee was good and the sandwich was great (salami and cheese with mustard). Nice service and ample seating. Cannelle serves pastries as well, but the sandwiches looked too good to pass up. read more

Cannelle is IT. In a year that's spoiled me rotten with the likes of Kora and Masa Madre, Canelle stands at the top. Everything from the croissants to muffins to sandwiches to tarts... just outstanding. Definitely going to order a cake or full pecan tart at some point. read more

Great little bakery in LIC. I've been trying to go to the original one in Jackson Heights for a while, but they usually sell out of the primary French croissant items. Staff was very friendly. Area was clean. Nice music (not too loud). Not a ton of space. Would not recommend this location as one to bring a laptop and do work at. I ordered an almond croissant. It was excellent with a good amount of butter. They also had the cream on the inside. Will definitely go back. Very fair pricing read more

I've started to come here in the mornings I WFH, and their coffee definitely hits the spot. They have an assortment of bread and pastry options too, along with some seating in the cafe itself.

Not much more to say but... Everything tastes as LIGHT AS A CLOUD! Items I've had: - Almond Croissant: very large, surprisingly light & crispy, not-too-sweet - mini Black Forest cake: again CLOUD - The Cannelle: believe the hype! buttery, vanilla, hits of rum. Sponge cake meets crumpet with a crisp shell - Carrot Cake & Red Velvet cake at a party: sliced, it might be small but Big impact! Great ingredients & flavors, raisins & nuts in the Carrot Cake, you can taste the quality, the cake looks dense but is again - a CLOUD. - Small Molten Chocolate Cake: (from a box of 12 at a party) VERY gooey on the inside (maybe 70%). Would have liked it to be a bit more cooked. Again tasty and not-too-sweet, quality ingredients. Open until the evening, which is nice. The space is a welcoming minimal wood design. It might be possible to work or have meetings in there, but feel the traffic in and out, of the mostly rectangle space, might be distracting. Wouldn't mind trying some other sandwiches or quiche for lunch and just a plain croissant. Decent prices for this quality. About a 15-20 minute walk from the Courthouse Square subway, but worth it! A very gentrified, now family-friendly area- between industrial areas. I think the NYC ferry stop is very close by though. read more

Bought a vanilla panna cotta with passionfruit to go on a Monday night. Didn't end up eating it until maybe 2 days later, but it was still pretty good. The panna cotta itself wasn't too sweet, and there was a good vanilla flavor to it. It was very smooth and creamy. The passionfruit syrup on top was so good. It tasted fresh, the seeds provided a nice textural contrast, and the tartness complimented the panna cotta really well. The price for the panna cotta wasn't terrible either. $6.50 for the panna cotta in LIC, is pretty good pricing for the quality and taste of it. read more

Pretty cool french bakery in LIC. Impressed by the range of cakes and desserts. We got two cakes for my friend's bday. Coco fraise is filled with strawberry and coconut mousse, it was delicious and spongy with perfect amount of sugar. Though I wish they added more of real strawberries than the mousse. I'm conflicted about the Praline, it was a heavenly first bite but you can immediately feel the sugar rush hitting you. Too sweet for my taste. Nice bakery to drop by but only if you are in the neighborhood. I don't really think it's a lot different than any other average French bakery near you. read more

The salami/provolone & club sandwich are what dreams are made of. Like, seriously so good. Every pastry and macaroon I have purchased has also been delicious. Still keeping it at 5 stars since everything is so tasty, but only hurdle to mention: if you don't know what you want and want to browse and look at the case lines (bc everything is so pretty!) it is really hard to do so since the line is formed there. So if you can, look at pics online and have a general idea of what you want before. That is the only issue, especially since I always want to bring guests but that quick pace/no time to look way of ordering isn't for everyone. No one wants to eat their treats in a cloud of anxious energy ;) read more

I live nearby and it seemed packed every time I walked by so I wanted to try it! We got the ham, egg, and cheese croissant (ask to get it toasted). It was delicious and flavorful!!! I think it was def worth it! I would come back to try the sandwiches and other items. Food is fresh and great quality. Reasonable prices! Two croissants were about $11 Update: I went back the next morning to get one but they had sold out. Come early for the croissants (like before 9am)! read more

Dependable, friendly affordable French bakery that's a literal cornerstone in the area for baguettes.

Cannelle is a really nice French Bakery in LIC! Their pastries are absolutely delicious, with a wide variety to choose from. The croissants are flaky and buttery. The service is friendly and attentive, and they making you feel welcome. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that they didnt warm up my chocolate croissant causing the chocolate to not be melted. But if you're looking for a delightful treat, Cannelle is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!! read more

I have been to Cannelle a number of times, and I absolutely love it. It's located on a corner in LIC near the waterfront. They serve pastries, baked goods, sandwiches, and gelato. There is some seating in the space as well. Service is always prompt. I have tried a number of items from Cannelle, including pastries, bread, and the gelato. The gelato is pretty good for the area, but not the best that I've had -- definitely pretty good enough. Every pastry I've had from Cannelle has been excellent -- I've tried things that range from croissants to brownies to tarts. Seriously, all have been great. I've also had their baguettes, which are wonderful, and their sandwiches, which are also tasty. I really like Cannelle and am so happy to have this in the neighborhood. Would highly recommend! read more

We are extremely into French pastries recently and our friends who live in LIC recommended us to try Cannelle. We visited on a Sunday around 5pm and it was too late so there were not many options left. We only got a croissant and a chocolate croissant. Both croissants were delicious, the layer of puff pastries was crispy and soft inside. However, there wasn't a lot of chocolate filling inside, which was disappointing. We might give it a second try at an earlier time shortly. read more

Great pastries and mid coffee. Service is bad. All the workers seem to speak spanish and sometimes talk about the customers, which I'm surprised to see since Spanish isn't that uncommon for a lot of people to speak. Even when they are white. Still a great place. I just try and do a walk in and out and avoid the attitude. Ps. They will yell at you if your try to bring your dog in haha. read more

The canelle in Jackson Heights is better for sure. The selection here is smaller and the display case The salmon croissant was tadty and filling. The padtries here don't have the same freshness or look as the original branch. Wr got a slice of the french cake and it was dry and didn't taste fresh. The cheesecake we got was condensed and thick. Service was fine. The ambiance is nice. Seating us limited but they have space outside. read more

This bakery is amazing !! My mom got me a Coco-Fraise birthday cake from here - it's a Vanilla Sponge Cake with Strawberry & Coconut Mousse and Strawberry Syrup. I was so happy with what she bought. The cake was sooo delicious. It was very light and fluffy, wasn't overly sweetened, and tasted fresh ! The texture was also soft. I also happened to try their Oreo Cheesecake and Pear Tart pastries and both were really good. I was expecting to taste some Oreo inside of the cheesecake instead of only on the outside, but I still really enjoyed it. Prices were fair overall. Highly recommend getting a dessert from here if you have any occasion ! read more

One of my favorite coffee and bakeries in Long Island city. They have French pastries, baguette sandwiches and gelato. From my experience they have unique flavors for gelato and they have excellent service. There's plenty of seating to enjoy a book. Cheers read more

Glad to have this location since it's easier to get to now that I've moved. Needless to say, everything is as good as the original Jackson Hts location. However, they run out of things fast. Especially the Napoleon. I was there recently on a Saturday afternoon and no more Napoleon. Really sad about that. They really should increase inventory on that. Especially on the weekend. To be sold out by the afternoon when they can keep making more money. If you haven't tried this place, you really should. Fairly certain it's the best dessert option in the surrounding area. read more

My friend recommended this place and I had to try it out! This is a pretty spacious dessert place with various options. I really liked that these desserts are not overly sweet, but they would still be really well paired with an Americano! I paid about 20 dollars for 4 desserts, but they are a bit more filling than they look (very visually pleasing as well). Would love to go back and try their macarons and drinks in their indoor seating! read more

This review is way overdue, but I've tried most of the sweets, pastries, and breads, and I devoured every single one. My favorites are the apple turnover for pastries, and for cakes, the lemon tart, chocolate praline, and raspberry pistachio are absolute standouts. Their olive bread, sourdough, and cranberry walnut bread are also amazing. A few months ago, I needed a cake with no decorations. I reached out to the team, and they were super accommodating. Normally, I'm not a fan of red velvet because it's too heavy, but they make the best red velvet I've ever had--fluffy, perfectly sweet, and not too dense. Plus, they use beet for the red coloring, which is a great touch. The team went above and beyond to meet my request, and the cake was just as delicious as everything else. Highly recommend! read more

Their bread and pastries are really great but sometimes the service is not so good. I ordered bunch of breads while they had many of them (more than enough than I ordered), and, she was slow and didn't take all right after I ordered so meanwhile other customer took it. And, she goes they don't have it anymore lol. Without any apologies. And one more- she said the bread slicer is not working at the moment but I saw the other customer gets sliced bread, so when I asked again she did it. She asked to pay first so I did but if I knew all these happening, I didn't tipped her. Not so pleasure to experience and should be corrected. read more

How lucky of this neighborhood to have such a lil corner taste of heaven. Such a quaint ambiance with their inviting outdoor street seating staring at garbage trucks, construction and the park across the street. I can definitely vouch for everythaaaang they sell because their pastries and cakes are amazing. Don't sleep on their strawberry shortcake when they are in season, typically April-Sept. The service is fitting for the neighborhood. They definitely accommodate a range of interesting...'palates'. This bakery is a bit smaller than its original east elmhurst location. Nevertheless, it's still amazing to grab a quick bite and walk the waterfront. read more

Cannelle LIC is the 2nd location of the Jackson Heights' Cannelle Patisserie bakery. This location is easier to get to, located near Gantry Plaza and the 7 train. Nice clean location that isn't crowded. They offer delicious cakes and pastries just like the Jackson Heights location and also has gelato. Prices are higher here though. I tried their Midnight Passion dessert, which I believe is a new item as it is not listed on the website menu nor have I seen it at the other location. It was so decadent and delicious! The dessert is covered with chocolate syrup and the inside is so smooth and creamy with chocolate and passion fruit mousse (not sure if the terms are correct). It is topped with a piece of brownie and hard chocolate. This is my favorite dessert that they offer! Try this if you see it! read more
