    Corn croissant
    Anne F.

    I love bakeries with inventive flavors, so of course I ordered the corn croissant. The layers were flaky, and the center held together fluffy cream and a silky custard that were wonderfully sweet and caramel-y. I love the bits of sweet corn in there, adding a delightful crunch. I would order that again, and in fact, I was a bit tempted to get another, but I had other places to visit in my food crawl. I'd come back just for that!

    What I really love about Claude is how they source ingredients from local farmers' markets and build their pastries around the seasons. Also good to know their pastries are made with Isigny French butter. No wonder the laminated layers are so flaky, rich, and buttery! Pro tip: go early for the seasonal pastries and sweet corn danish. They were completely sold out when I came after 1PM on the weekend! *Strawberry Danish $8.5 ** New addition to their summer lineup! Flaky, buttery layers filled with creamy custard and sweet-tart compote. Every bite is fruity and sweet, and I love that the glazed pastry stays crunchy. Easily my favorite from this haul. *Sweet Corn Pastry $8.5 The corn is pretty subtle, while I was actually hoping for more corn flavor. The dulce de leche steals the show with its rich, caramel-y sweetness. It's more like a dessert with a hint of savory corn. *Heirloom Tomato Croissant $8.5 While I wouldn't say it's the best heirloom tomato pastry I've ever had, I do love how it's generously topped with shredded aged mimolette for extra savory depth, and the natural tomato flavor really shines through. *Plain Croissant $5.25 * Seriously one of the best plain croissants I've had recently. So simple but so good. I'd happily get this again.

    The event was advertised to start at 5:00 PM, but the anniversary cake was still being assembled

    I came to celebrate Claude's 2nd anniversary and was excited to attend the advertised 5:00 PM event, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The event didn't actually begin until 5:32 PM, and at 5:14 PM the anniversary cake was still being assembled. A bunch of us waited in the heat for about 1.5 hours and more. The biggest disappointment was the communication around the advertised "special gifts, while supplies last." I watched staff assembling gift bags and naturally assumed they were for customers attending the event. After waiting in line for so long, we were told the gifts were only for partners and influencers. To make matters more confusing, one employee said an RSVP was required, even though there was no RSVP link on the Instagram post or website. Another employee gave a different explanation and came across as rude. If the gifts were never intended for the general public, that should have been communicated clearly beforehand. The wording of the post made it seem like attendees would receive them while supplies lasted, which created an expectation that wasn't met. I know many people waited in the long line because of that. I hope future events are better organized and communicate expectations more clearly. Transparency goes a long way in building trust with customers.

    Had high hopes for this bakery and tried the seasonal tomatoe croissant. There was only one small slice of tomatoe. For the price, I would choose another bakery.

    Wow! Got the sweet corn pastry and was so surprised at how flavourful it was! Loved the corn bits in the cream, the dulce de leche was the perfect combination and the pastry was nice and crispy. So many great options and plenty to choose from at 1pm - didn't have to queue which is a bonus! Will be back!!!

    Honeycomb toffee latte

    Chocolate coffee cake is so decadent and moist. Honey toffee latte was just the right balance of milk-espresso-burnt honey. A perfect latte.

    Salted maple latte w whole milk

    Best salted maple latte I've had! It was absolutely delicious!! Creamy and had the perfect amount of flavor. Not too sweet! They also had cakes that looked amazing and many people came in to order a slice in the few minutes I was there. I sat inside and looked out the window watching people walk by in the west village on rainy day and it was the perfect setup! Highly recommend

    During my childhood in the 90s, a man actually named Claude owned this bakery. He was a taciturn fellow with knee problems who briefly banned my entire family for reasons unbeknownst to us. After he retired, his protégé Pablo inherited the bakery and mostly maintained the status quo of their baked goods. Their best items were a coffee eclair, a rectangular chocolate mousse cake, and a flimsy but decadent quiche. The new Claude bakery is a bit disingenuous in claiming they've been here since 1982, as little to nothing is maintained from prior ownership. But I sampled a variety of their croissants, including the heirloom tomato variety that surely would have raised Claude's eyebrows. However, they were all quite buttery with good structure and delicious. I was surprised that the tomato was actually my favorite one.

    Cinnamon roll
    Darian P.

    I stopped by Claude Bakery and the service was ok. Staff didn't seem especially friendly. They were deep in conversation with each other. I ordered the cinnamon roll, which I was excited about since I've tried quite a few around NYC. Unfortunately, it was a bit mid. For a weekend afternoon I expected more fresh. I was crunchy- seemed a day old. The texture and flavor were fine, but it didn't really stand out compared to other cinnamon rolls I've had in the city. Not bad, just not particularly memorable. Space was clean but very small.

    Stopped by in the late afternoon to get a pastry and it didn't disappoint Ended up getting the strawberry pastry and they had lots of other fruit pastry options It was hard to decide on just one to order but I would definitely go back to try other options in the future It was also nice being able to take it to a nearby park to sit and enjoy it outside. Store is located in a great area

    Chocolate cake
    Elena S.

    Chocolate was good, not fantastic. Frosting was very sweet. Cake was moist and dense, it took about 3 bites to really start enjoying it.

    Went to get the free tiramisu and it was so good!! Worth waiting in line for 30 mins for it!

    An excellent source for croissants and pains au chocolat. Friendly service. Avoiding the lines at La Cabra.

    Pastries are good but it runs out quick so go there early. The shop is also quite small.

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.
