We ordered a butter & salt soft serve and an egg tart. Soft serve tasted great, but needed to put it in a cup because it was melted quickly. Egg tart didn't do so well, won't suggest. For $5, china town offers a better taste of egg tart for 3 counts. read more

Love this creative bakery. I have been twice and both times loved what I had. The chocolate Hazelnut and Matcha Jam Jars are both to die for. I even took one away and it stayed intact and tasted great hours later! The Pretzel Salt Egg Tart is outstanding flavor and texture. I knew I also had the Croissant Bao the 1st time I was there and liked it. if you are anywhere in NYC , I suggest you make a trip here to try it out, you will not be disappointed! Tip: The carry out box is pretty large to keep the construction of the pastries intact - so keep in mind if you plan to take on the trains read more

I went here for the viral butter dipped ice cream (take from that what you will) I'll first say this is a fine little shop. Their actual food looked and sounded really good but we just got desserts. The mango-coconut cup was okay the mango filling with passion fruit was stellar but you couldn't taste coconut and the coating was meh Now for the butter dipped ice cream... I really wanted to like this but it just didn't do it for me. The vanilla bean ice cream overpowered any other flavor so when I finally tasted the butter it was just salty. I am normally a butter lover! Kerrygold, presidente butter, any French butter, but this butter was just not good to me :( The service was great and the place was clean, but don't come for the butter dipped ice cream. Try something else read more

Taiwanese inspired bakery! Lots of baked goodies inside with outside seating. Got to sample the mochi toastie which were cute, mini, crispy, yet chewy! Taro guava lace donut - out of this world, never had anything like it. Crispy layer, creamy taro, tart guava jam, chewy mochi all into one! A bit oily and messy but worth it, Iced pear green tea - tasted like a green tea, no pear notes, can also get with lemonade read more

I came to Papa d'Amour mainly to try the taro mochi donut and ended up getting a scallion basil blossom as well. The taro mochi donut was yummy - I love taro mochi combos and the texture of this was perfect. The flavor was a bit lacking though fo a sweet even as someone who prefers deswerts to be not too sweet. I like how much scallion was in the blossom bun and it had a nice aroma from the pine nut pesto and toasted sesame but I thought it could have been seasoned more as it was a bit bland. I appreciate their innovation Asian inspired flavors and pastries but the execution could be better and overall the flavors were just ok. read more

I got the miso butter grilled cheese and wow... so good. Great bread, possibly even better butter, and the right combination of cheese. It was SO much cheese I didn't eat it all but that's much better than not enough. Also got the iced pear green tea, really good. The service was good, the place was large with lots of places to sit, as well as a lot of outdoor seating. read more

Pastry is unique. Ansel tapped into multicultural options and found his own way to integrate the flavors, spices, and seasonings. While my thoughts are my own, you should stop in and try this for yourself. I find it difficult to resonate with this flavor profile of his. We all love the cronut, which was stellar, but each of the selections I sampled was missing a few elements or needed further refinement. I find myself lost halfway through the experience. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience with the family. Scallions are known to hold moisture. Requires delicate balance to infuse them inside a warm roll. Kurobata Hot Dog was probably the best one out of the 5 we sampled. One of the best highlights of our visit was the staff exercising patience with our curiosity. Thank you for being accommodating and helpful with our selection. If you are looking for a unique and fun experience with pastry goods, this is your jam. Come and try it for yourself. It may come with a heavier price tag, but it's curated goods. read more

Visited Papa d'Amour early on Mother's Day and the person at the desk gave me some recommendations of little mochi toasts in various flavors and different pastries to get for my mom. I got myself a scallion pastry and it was so delicious warmed up! It was nice and calm on a Sunday morning with lots of searing, so I enjoyed my coffee and pastry at Papa d'Amour before shopping nearby. They also have the butter dipped Hokkaido milk soft serve here. read more

This is for the butter dipped ice cream only. It was disappointing. The butter part was fine and was like a magic shell. The unfortunate part was the ice cream itself. It was on the icier side and for a $10 cone with Dominique's name attached to the shoppe, you'd expect a creamy high quality soft serve. read more

I loved the pastries at Dominique Ansel's Soho bakery and was excited about his new bakery that incorporates Asian flavors with French pastry techniques. I got a scallion basil blossom. The employee warmed the pastry for me which helped bring out the flavor. I wish I had more positive things to say but I was a little underwhelmed by the pastry! The scallion and pesto flavors were strong, but the filling was a bit too wet and made the pastry soggy. I wish I could taste more bready flavor from the dough. I would be open to trying this place again, but the pastries are generally more expensive than his Soho bakery and I'd much rather put my money where I can guarantee that I'll get something I enjoy. read more

Went for the viral butter dipped soft serve and unfortunately, was not satisfied. The soft serve itself was good but tasted same as any soft serve in a fast food chain. I really thought the butter would add depth and uniqueness to the flavor profile but it just tasted like eating ice cream that has mild salt flavor to it. $10 for ice cream cone is kinda insane. Ambience itself is very cute and it's self serve. read more

I had been hearing about this butter soft serve for awhile. It was good, although I'm not sure the hype was exactly what I expected. It had a nice sea salt overlay and it was reminiscent of a dipped cone at Dairy Queen. The hardened butter was a little waxier than I had imagined. And I wish I had tried it with the sweet corn soft serve instead of just vanilla. Was it good? Yes? Would I go out of my way for it? I think this might be one of those "If I'm in the neighborhood" type of choices. At 10 bucks it is not exactly inexpensive, but I applaud them for their innovation. Service is friendly and pretty fast. Some of the pastries looked really good, so I might be more inclined to try something in the case instead next time. read more

I heard Dominque Ansel had a new Taiwanese/French bakery so I had to check it out! They have creative pastries with a Taiwanese twist. It was fun to see familiar Asian flavors in a new baked good. I ordered the scallion basil blossom and the curry pan. They warm it up for you which makes the pastries so much better. The scallion basil blossom was flakey and filled with a delicious pesto. The curry was savory and filled with chicken, potatoes, and carrots! Definitely a full meal. Next time I want to try their jam jars! They looked cute and had good flavors. read more

Papa d'Amour 64 University Pl. New York, NY 10003 Butter Vanilla Soft Serve When I passed by this bakery I couldn't help but notice a large crowd dining inside and outside. The butter ice cream soft serve sidewalk billboard sign especially caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try. The overall appearance of the cone looked fantastic. It was definitely beautifully handcrafted and looks really appealing. Unfortunately, the taste was average. The top of the cone was completely covered in a butter shell. It was slightly chewy, but was on the bland side. The organic soft serve ice cream does not taste as well as original soft serve. It lacked flavor and something was definitely missing. The bakers were on the right track by placing a "surprise" mochi gummy on the bottom of the cone, but it didn't fit with the dessert. A hard piece of chocolate or white chocolate would have been a much better alternative. I am confident this bakery has other dessert choices that are definitely on the money, which accounts for the large crowd. In my honest critique, I truly do not feel the soft serve is their strong suit especially since I noticed I was the only customer in the shop who chose this particular dessert. #softservebuttercone #papadamour #papadamournyc #westvillage #organicsoftserve #mochi #buttervanillasoftserve read more

Food is excellent as expected, service is quick, quality is top notch and the place is clean and modern with a large bathroom. My favorite is the Matcha soufflé drink. They bring the matcha drink and pour thick matcha into the hole on top and watch the contents go up high. Every bite of things I have ordered have been excellent. The grilled double cheese is one of my favorites. Today I had the crispy donut with mochi inside and strawberry stuffing. I am not particularly a fan though of the white croissant they call white bun Croissant. They also carry milk bread. There are several pastries you can choose from. Another day, I have tried their super thick melted grilled cheese sandwich. Love it! And mother time I had their hot chocolate with a mochi on a stick. It is an excellent place for lunch or brunch. And snacks! Anytime you have time, like me, I pay a visit to have my favorite food. read more

Beautiful space, with so many interesting options. We grabbed a black sesame jam jar and were blown away with the creativity. The jar itself was edible, I normally don't like white chocolate but the quality convinced me otherwise. We got the curry pan which had a bit too much spice for me, but loved the outside texture. The Kurobuta Hot Dog Spiral had a delicious rice inside, very interesting, one of my favorites. The croissant shokupan was beautiful has beautiful lamination and light sugar glaze on the outside. It was flaky, but a bit dry for my taste. read more

I've been to Papa d'Amour a few times and am always intrigued by their creative asian-inspired pastries. Tldr, I love their salt bread bagels, taro mochi donut, and shokupan the most! ＊Salt Bread Bagel $8.5 *** Highly recommend coming at 8 for a fresh batch! I grabbed this when it was fresh out of the oven. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a golden, buttery crust. It also has a butter hole inside that salt bread is known for. The salt flecks get a little charred and add crunch. It comes together as a set with a french cheese spread, though the bagel is already amazing on its own when warm. ＊Taro and Mochi Lace Batter Donut $7.5 ** A reimagined taro puff pastry (芋角) dim sum filled with mochi and guava jam . Crispy, flaky honeycomb crust on the outside, stretchy on the inside with a pop of guava tartness. Totally blown away by how good this is. ＊Pretzel Salted Egg Tart $4.5 The egg custard is brushed with brown butter, and the pretzel shell is studded with salt. I loved that it's made with a pretzel base. read more

Since I've been going to the SoHo Dominique Ansel for over a decade, I decided to try Papa d'Amour. No DKAs or Cronuts here. This place is geared more toward Asian bread culture. I wanted to pick up a few things, to start the weekend right. I also wanted a late lunch. I ordered the Five Spiced Pork Sando, with a fresh Cold Brew Coffee. Everything about the Sando was wonderful, except the Peanut Butter Sauce. It actually ruined it. I managed to remove some with a napkin, but it should be omitted; permanently. The Pretzel Salt Egg Tart was ok; incredibly salty. Taro & Mochi Laced Battered Donut was a bit odd. Once you get past the 4 different textures, upon your first bite, you start to realize how good it is. As a BONUS, they gave me a Butter Vanilla Soft Serve (Like what Stew Leonard's has). I did learn that DA was first with the creation. The butter coating is much better at Papa d'Amour. But the ice cream is better at Stew's. I would like to take home one of their loaves of Croissant Shokupan. Maybe next time. read more

After seeing the Jolly YouTube episode about bakeries in NYC, I knew I had to go here. I was most looking forward to the egg tart and ended up thinking about the Taro Lace Battered Mochi donut. It was a little busy but we managed to grab a table. My friend promised to split everything with me and I mayyyy have gone overboard with the amount of items I got for the two of us, but gosh - coming from Indiana and having all of these incredible pastries/tarts & toasts/sandos/ and jam jars in front of me - I just couldn't stop ordering things! What a delight! - The pretzel egg tart was perfectly salted which balanced out the sweetness (it wasn't too sweet which was perfect!) - The Taro and Mochi Lace Battered Donut just hit the spot for me. I am a texture eater and loved the crunch on the outside, the softness on the inside from the mochi, and the mixture of tart and sweet tasting jam in the center. So good! - The Ube Coconut Jam Jar was delightful. It was so fun to cut into and if you love coconut you'd love this! The outside is thicker and light in flavoring. I was glad it was super sweet! The inside was creamy and delicious and it all went so well together! -The croissant bao wasn't my favorite but I can understand the appeal This place was awesome! I wish I lived in NY because I'd be here allll the time read more

Came here on a Tuesday early evening. Very cute and brightly lit bakery with a modest amount of seating. It's not very large, and gets super crowded. I was super lucky that a family noticed me and as they were leaving, they referred me to the table they had been sitting at. Scallion basil blossom roll (warmed): crunchy and flaky with scallion and basil stuffing. I love scallion (I am Taiwanese after all), and this makes me think of Jian bing in croissant form. Curry pan (warmed): exterior is crispy and hot, I think topped with grains of rice crispy, and it's stuffed with chicken curry. Piping hot, but not to the point it burns my mouth, and slightly spicy. Amazing savory curry pan! Pretzel salt egg tart: very good. It's not flaky like the egg tarts I'm used to. The shell is more shortbread-esque. Gingerbread mochi toastie: didn't care for the chocolate-covered half (though it does look pretty with the gold leaf), especially since I could not taste the gingerbread nor mochi, the chocolate was overwhelming. I do love mochi and gingerbread though. It would have been better without any chocolate . Black sesame jam jar (SO HARD to choose between matcha and ube, everything sounded amazing. I decided to honor my traditional Taiwanese palate and go for the black sesame): Exterior tasted like marshmallow. The consistency of the black sesame filling makes me think of black sesame dessert soup, and there's a delightfully crunchy bottom over a thin slice of cake. After eating all the filling, I devoured the white chocolate jar I ate everything in one sitting and it was so good! Even though next day I was admittedly sick of pastries lol. read more

There's a moderate amount of seating, but it's usually always busy! read more

PAPA D'AMOUR WHEN: Thur @10:45am It appears we came on some sort of "influencer's day" where a good amount of camera-ready folks ordered the same item in front of their phone and a lighting equipment. They were all sitting outside though, so there's seatings both outside and inside--but quite limited. The place may feel a bit cramped as it's not that big. Here's what we ordered: TARO & MOCHI LACE BATTER DONUT - $7.50 Taro, Guava Strawberry Jam, Mochi If you are a fan of that flaky taro dumpling at Dim Sum, then you should love this. And I am not even a taro fan! But you sure tastes the guava strawberry jam, and the light crispy flakes and the soft and chewy mochi makes it all such a fascinating combo of textures! MANGO COCONUT JAM JAR - $11.00 Mango Passionfruit, Coconut Tapioca, Rice Pudding, Ladyfinger. The kind of dessert that you also eat the container, which seems to be made of white chocolate? Lots are going on in here and it's pretty interesting. Not too sweet which is always a plus. Definitely pricey though but hey it's fancy. The staff were super friendly and even gave me a sample of their new line of croutons, and insisted we were very honest about it--and man they are good! Seems like you really can't go wrong with ordering anything from here, whether it's savory or sweet. I sure hope I can taste everything here but my bank account won't allow it, haha! Just 2 will do....for now. read more

Love exploring the bakery scene in NYC, and my friend and I just knew we had to come to Papa d'Amour! I'd actually discovered it watching an episode of Korean Englishmen on YouTube, so shoutout to them. When we got there, the workers were all very sweet and helpful, and luckily we found seating inside because they were very packed (typical for a Sunday morning, I assume) Spent a minute just admiring all the pastries on display - I just adore how their recipes marry the classic French pastries with East Asian flavors in such a creative and delectable way. Anyways, we tried a couple different pastries: Salt bread bagel with cheese spread (4/5): to say I love salt bread is lowkey an understatement, but regardless, this bagel was essentially just a very classic salt bread, very soft and like that of a cloud, airy and clean-tasting. Worked well with the cheese but it's just so good on its own as well. Apple, asian pear & red bean chausson (4.5/5): I was on a rollercoaster with this one. First off, the name instantly piqued my interest because the flavor profile seemed so versatile and harmonious, and then when I tried it, all three (apple, asian pear, red bean) were very much present but also with this almost Asian herbal aftertaste? But, it kinda grew on me and the apple/pear compote especially was just so addicting (I paired it with the cream cheese from the salt bread bagel, which actually worked so well together). This pastry very much gives a sense of autumn with its flavors, and omg the flakiness of the brioche was flawless. Most importantly, it was not TOO sweet, genuinely the perfect amount of sweet for me. Like, this is my new standard of sweetness for pastries. Banana bread malay cake (4.5/5): personally I found the banana to taste and feel more like a plantain, but the sponge was delightful, and I love all things banana bread, so you can't go wrong with this one. There's still so much I want to try, especially the scallion basil blossom (and the name itself is so beautiful), so maybe for next time... read more

Was so excited for Papa D'amour to open as soon as I heard they were going to. As a fan of Dominique Ansel I was stoked to hear he's opening this place as an homage to his half Asian family, blending East/Southeast Asian flavors with French techniques to make something truly memorable. The #1 thing you MUST try is the taro mochi donut, which is sooo flaky and buttery, uniquely like the taro puffs at dim sum, filled with soft, gently chewy mochi and sweet strawberry jam - it's one of my favorite things I had all year. Kurobata sausage pastry was also excellent, and had a rich salty and savory flavor from the sausage and excellent lamination from the pastry as well. Toasted for warmth. The pretzel crust egg tart was interesting, and always love an egg tart but I gotta say the egg tart competition is stiff these days when considering places from Flushing and Chinatown. Also had the butter mochi which I enjoyed and are perfect for a small bite, but I preferred the original the most to really let that mochi flavor shine. Their salt bread bagel was also solid, though more trendy than anything else. That being said I do find myself coming back here to check out what else they are inventing, and on my list are their yakimochi hot chocolate! read more

I love this spot and anything Dominique Ansel touches. Visited to get some treats for a friends birthday and felt obligated to finally try the salt bread bagel. They warmed up it and you could taste how buttery it was. Loved it with the cheese spread. read more

I was hoping Papa D'amour was overhyped, but everything was so delicious. Some of the items reheated fairly well the next day too and tasted more flavorful. I even took the jam jar to go even though its recommended to eat in, and it made it through the 30 min train ride intact. Will need to go back to try the rest of the menu. Hard to pick a favorite but I really liked the kurobuta spiral and scallion basil blossom. Really cute place overall with a few tables and seating. read more

I've walked past here several times before and there was always a line. Finally found a time when there was no line so I decided to try it out. I ordered the kurobuta hot dog spiral, taro and mochi lace batter donut, and the yakimochi hot chocolate. My favorite item was the donut. They had just made a new batch so it came out warm and crispy. I loved the flavor of the guava jam inside. Delicious!! This is a must get. The yakimochi hot chocolate was good, but I prefer richer/thicker hot chocolate so it wasn't my favorite. They heated up the hot dog spiral, which I appreciated. It was very unique and good, but I personally enjoyed the donut a lot more. There is some seating inside, but empty seats get taken up quickly. so depending on when you come, you may have to wait or just take your food to go. Staff is very very sweet and helpful. I don't think i'd necessarily wait on a long line to eat here. but if you walk by and see no line/or a short line, I think it's worth trying out! especially the donut!! read more

Tasty and fun! I'd especially wanted to try the jam jars but when I see pasties on display I kind of lose my head. So we got: Avocado cucumber sando: 4/5, on fluffy milk bread, perfect for a warmer day as a light "healthier" option. I wanna try to make this at home. Tomato egg bao: 5/5 this was so comforting. Such a homey flavor combo made restaurant quality, tastes so good in a steamed bao. Also inspired to try to make this at home too. Scallion basil blossom: 4/5 maybe my least favorite yet still great. Pretzel egg tart: 4/5 can an egg tart not be good? But I prefer both hk or Portuguese egg tart shells. Sesame jam jar: 5/5 yep worth the visit for. I was worried about the ratio of jar to sesame filling but it was all perfect. Although to be fair you can give me infinite amounts of sesame goop and I will happily slurp it all up. I wish I'd gotten a pic of the cross section. read more

This spot was recommended by a friend and it was definitely worth the try. We only got the desert items since we had just finished lunch. This place gets PACKED. So be prepared for a long line and no seating. There is seating outside, but on cold winter day, indoor seating is rarely available. Luckily, the line moves pretty fast. Our order came out within minutes of ordering. Be aware that some items come with plates and utensils so you wouldn't be able to leave to find seating elsewhere without bringing their plates and utensils back. What we ordered: Taro mochi lace batter donut - the exterior is a flaky crispy and so good. Doesn't feel heavily oily and fried at all. The interior taro mochi is soft, warm and lightly sweet. They used real taro, not the artificial flavoring. Mango coconut jam jar - unique jar with sweet mango coconut filling. You can eat the entire thing! The filling is light and fluffy while the exterior has a texture similar to chocolate, but don't think it is a chocolate because it isn't very sweet. It is also not a cookie. Hokkaido milk soft serve - this dessert is the sweetest of the 3. The soft serve is creamy and the sweetness pairs very well with the salted butter exterior. My boyfriend really loved this one but I felt it was a bit too weird eating the butter solidified on top the cold ice cream. The butter was also a taffy texture which was unexpected and unique. Overall would highly recommend this place for its unique use of ingredients and thoughtful creativity in each dish. Next time, I'd want to try their savory items as well! read more

Papa de Amor in NYC is one of those places that quietly surprises you in the best way possible. I stopped by for a little treat run and ended up loving almost everything I tried. The Ube Cake Milk was the star for me as it's super creamy and smooth, with that earthy, real ube flavor instead of artificial sweetness. It's rich but not heavy, and the ube notes actually come through. If you love ube, this feels like dessert in a cup. The Yuzu Lemonade is a Light, refreshing, and perfectly citrusy. The yuzu gives it a floral brightness that hits different from regular lemonade with balanced acidity, not too sweet. It's the kind of drink that feels like a reset button. The Kurobuta Croissant is a Warm, flaky, and buttery with a savory edge from the kurobuta filling. The layers on the croissant were well done, and the salty-sweet balance made it feel special definitely more elevated than a standard bakery croissant. Papa de Amor feels like a café you'd randomly discover and end up recommending to everyone. Unique drinks, thoughtful flavors, and a cozy vibe. It's worth the stop if you're in the area, especially for the ube cake milk and the croissant. read more

The space is a cute cafe, but because there is such a high traffic, it is pretty messy - crumbs/napkins everywhere. They also have some seating outside. The staff here are very sweet. They handed out multiple samples throughout our dining time here. We tried the famous black sesame jam jar. I think this was lost on me. It was very sweet, and I was not a fan of the flavor or the gooey texture. The FIVE-SPICE PORK CHOP SANDO had good flavor. Nice peanut kick with a citrus zinger. However, it was a tiny piece of pork for $15.5. Barely enough for a lunch. The KUROBUTA HOT DOG SPIRAL - the hot dog had good flavor. The croissant was a little too much crust for me.

Super unique and interesting bakery! I love the taiwanese-french pastries they offer here! There was no line when we got here and after we ordered, they gave us our pastry on a plate and we sat down at a table inside. I like savory pastries so the kurobuta hot dog spiral was the perfect choice. It's a pastry with shallot oil-sauteed sticky rice filling, topped with soy-glazed kurobuta pork hot dogs and sesame furikake. Make sure to get it warmed up! Pork hot dog buns are a staple in taiwanese bakeries and I liked how creative it was to combine it with sticky rice and make it into a pastry! The other item we got was the taro mochi lace batter donut with taro, guava strawberry jam, vanilla mochi, crispy lace batter. I haven't had anything like this either and I liked how crispy the outer layer was and how it was chewy with the mochi. read more
