    Cakes
    Paige S.

    Cakes were delicious, but we came for chocolate chip cookies and even waited for them to be made, and they were never baked. The worker kept telling everyone who came by that they would be ready in 20-30 mins, so we actually waited inside about half an hour and didn't get any. The cakes themselves were tasty, but very decadent, so they needed to be savored and eaten in small bites. There's a small area with barstools to eat inside!

    Petit Chou 229 1st. Ave. New York, NY 10003 Breakfast Croissandwich This sandwich is layered with scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, and american cheese on laminated homemade croissant dough. Also included is chipotle aioli dipping sauce. Pieces of the croissant did fall off, but it was still unbelievably tasty. #eastvillage #eastvillagenyc #petitchou #breakfastcroissandwich

    Stopped by right before closing and with a limited selection, walked out with a raspberry cheesecake and guava, danishes. Both were excellent. Space is relatively small so most people just grab something to go. At almost $10 each these are indulgent treats however in line with a lot of higher end pastries in the City.

    I've been to Petit Chou a couple of times now. The chocolate and caramel cake is one of the best cakes I've ever had. I couldn't recommend it more. The chocolate chip cookie is also one of my favorites in the city. I can't wait to try more from this bakery!

    Probably one of the most affordable bakeries so far I've been in NY! Staff were incredible nice and toke the time to answer my question/went over the differ pastries they had/specials! I'm usually not big on eclair but The pistachio looked delicious and didn't disappoint! The cinnamon roll was huge with a generous frosting( a bit too much for me) were soft/fluffy but overly sweet with the frosting so I removed a good amount for my liking The chocolate croissant wasn't as flaky more in the bready side but my the chocolate overload filling was delicious but a bit too much! The almond croissant was my fav -flaky chewy at the same time buttery but not overly (the way I like it) with generous almond paste topping ! Worth a stop while in NY for your tasting !

    I kept seeing Petit Chou all over Instagram so I absolutely had to try it and I'm so glad I did! I went early-ish on a Monday morning and was the only customer there which was nice. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich (which they warm up for you), and the famous chocolate chip cookie. Both items were super good. The breakfast sandwich was honestly like anything I've had before. Loved the texture and just really tasty. The cookie was legit and I loved that it was thick! I ate it like 6 hours after I bought it and it was still super soft and the chocolate was still melty inside.

    Love this spot. Tried the breakfast sandwich for the first time today. They heated it up for me and gave me a sauce on the side that appeared to be some sort of spicy aioli. Bread was super flakey on top. Overall a nice combo heated up with the sauce. This is my neighborhood preferred bakery - can't recommend it enough. Will be back.

    Loved the Passionfruit Cheesecake puff and the mango. Both weren't too sweet and light/ airy. The Passionfruit filling/ jam was amazing! Sweet cashier and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. It's not a big place more like a grab and go situation but the pastries surpassed my expectations. I can't wait to go back!

    WHEN: Sat @7:30pm As we walked and explored more of the area after dinner, we recognized this being one of the spots on our list for cookies. But since it was already late in the day and they had none, we decided to go with: BANANA CAKE - $12 This banana bread with toffee shell was pretty good! It was pretty sweet so we were not able to finish it all. There's not much seating but a few standing counters to have your sweet treats. Also, I appreciate there being a share of what these desserts look like on the inside

    tiramisu cream puff
    Suchi O.

    Stopped by for a quick sweet bite after a late lunch one weekend. It's a small pastry shop with a few stools and two high counters where you can enjoy your treat. Loved the way the desserts were displayed--everything looked beautiful and tempting. I tried the tiramisu cream puff. It was really good overall--I liked the texture, the flavor, and the presentation. The only thing that didn't quite work for me was the center filling they called "coffee jam." To me, it tasted more like an overly sweet caramel and didn't match the coffee-forward flavor I was expecting. If the chef or anyone from the team is reading--just a small suggestion from a coffee and tiramisu lover: if the center had a deeper coffee flavor and a bit of that pleasant bitter edge, it would take this dessert to the next level. At $8, it felt well priced for the quality. We'll definitely be back to try more of their creations!

    I came here on a Saturday for the cinnamon roll which I can confirm was amazing. There wasn't no line and the staff was really nice. The place has a few bar seats so you can sit there and eat, it's really warm and bright so not a bad idea if you have time. I haven't tried anything else but based on my one visit I would highly recommend.

    Cinnamon bun
    Jillian B.

    Been craving a cinnamon bun for months, and FINALLY got my hands on one now that I'm done with my wedding diet. My husband and I swung by at about 11:30am on a Sunday and were pleased to see cinnamon rolls still well in stock. We ordered one along with a pistachio eclair, and munched the pistachio eclair while they heated up the cinnamon bun. Pistachio eclair had amazing flavor and texture. The pistachio cream was delicious and the candied pistachios on top added a great layer of crunch and flavor. Cinnamon bun.. omg.. it was so good. Gooey and perfectly chewy. Sweet, but not excessively. Understand why it's on so many "best cinnamon rolls in nyc" list. Would 10000000% get again!!!

    Are you passionate about pistachios? I am and at Petit Chou there is a pistachio éclair ($8) that is simply divine. Studded with a profusion of the tasty nuts, this pastry also has pistachio cream inside making each bite heavenly. I ate this last Friday. It's best to wait a few minutes to let it soften a bit before starting to eat. When I truly enjoy something I tend to eat slowly savoring each bite even though I know I may have it again.

    Is there a way to ship orders from this place? I can't visit NY during the shelter in place but I would love the support it from Cali!

    Certain pastries ship well while others do not. I'm sure the chef/owner whose name is Bassim could accommodate you. He's one of the most kind and considerate people you will ever encounter and if he can prepare a box of pastries that are somewhat…

    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.

    I spontaneously went here on a night out and may have stumbled across the BEST asian gelato place…read moreever. The flavors I ordered were tiramisu and berries and cream, but there were also a lot of fruit flavors you usually wouldnt see at other stores like lychee, ube and coconut. I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once.

I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

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.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
