I deducted one star as a few of the macrons tasted very similar to each other and didn't stand out plus they were on the soft side, there wasn't a slight crispy to the outer shell. Though there were 2 that i absolutely loved given the fresh flavor profile. Their truffles are great as I tried both the dark chocolate mousse truffles, they are coated in cocoa powder and are absolutely divine melt in your mouth truffle. I Loved it since I love dark chocolates, like i don't touch milk or white chocolate (of course white chocolate is pure sugar, that's another topic); these chocolates are definitely an indulgence, rich, super sweet, and diverse flavors (has hazelnut praline, pistachio, almond, ganache with lemon zest, the 100% cocoa ganache and so much more). This was definitely super rich and the sweetest dark chocolates I have ever had so it doesn't feel too much like dark chocolate (the two kinds in the box of 24 or so were good but the rest on the sweet side). Minus half a star for this Can't comment on the service or the ambience given I haven't been to the location, but I would love to stop by and check this spot out in the future especially for their dark chocolate truffles as those were the best among anything else I tried and would try them again

I tried the chocolate croissant and a Merveilleux, and both were outstanding. The croissant was perfectly flaky, buttery, and fresh, while the Merveilleux was light, airy, and not overly sweet. The staff was friendly and patient, and the bakery itself has such a charming French atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you want to order one of everything. The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and every bite tasted like it was made with care. If you're in NYC and love pastries, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the city!

The staff is super nice, they're packaged so cute and for the price its well worth it. So many great flavors its hard to not have a min of 6. My personal favorites have to be: Chocolate (it's like a mousse), Creme Brulee, Espresso, Rasberry, Hazelnut, Red Velvet for starters! And the filling is THICK. Holy heavens I've never had a maracon filled like that. The ratio is out of this world and the flavor will actually send you into orbit. Trust me - if you get a fruity pebbles for example it 100% will taste like you're eating the cereal. That's what I love! These are the real deal no shade to the French The brick and mortar store is pretty small, like one party per person small and a little bit of a walk between any major subway station, but fear not they have an online store! Some notes: 1. Once purchased don't keep them out for too long, put them in the fridge when possible. 2. Have then thaw, yes thaw, for at least 20 minutes. The filling gets to a nice soft texture! I have not heard one person I know tell me they didn't like these. Hope you enjoy

This one is tucked away in the corner of the Kiyoto Hotel off of Park Ave. so don't look for the shop itself like I was doing. I was standing right in front of the hotel thinking I was lost lol.

She said that the guava tea is her favorite so I got the gift set that comes with the tea off your choice and a tea strainer. I also obviously got the matcha Chocolates and some milk chocolate praline candies which appear to be painted with a shiny gold exterior coating. The store is very organized and well laid out.

I needed lunch between appointments one day last week and liked the yogurt/granola/berries cup (used only about half of the overly-sweet granola).

There is also a bathroom for customers on site. We got our drinks quickly, and it's great to grab the pastries we wanted after giving it careful thought. For a sugar hit or even a light lunch, this is a great midtown option for convenience and good taste.

The location is definitely one of the highlights. They only have a few tables inside, but that has never bothered me. I actually prefer taking my food outside and sitting in Bryant Park.

Everyone is friendly, efficient, and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. My absolute favorite is the chocolate babka, which is a must try. Their sandwiches and savory pastries are also excellent, and everything I've tried has been high quality. I never skip Breads Bakery when I'm in NY. It's one of those places that never disappoints, and I always leave looking forward to my next visit.
