My cousin got a chocolate chip cookie and theirs was probably the best one we've had this whole trip. It was so gooey and delicious. Service: Worker/cashier was absolutely kind!

I was able to snag seats with good timing when I came here to enjoy my Iced Americano and Halva Croissant. The filling in the croissant was delightful!

They know how to do things right here!

I stopped by on a Monday morning and was greeted warmly as I walked in. It's a clean, brightly lit…read morespot with limited seating (saw some people sitting on a bench in front of the store). There was one person at the counter taking/filling orders (she was very nice and helpful) and one person making drinks (coffee/tea). There was a short line, but it moved fairly quickly. I ordered some chocolate rugelach, cinnamon rugelach, and cheese & cherry rugelach ($2.75/each, except the larger cheese & cherry ones for $3.50/each). I love, love, love their chocolate rugelach. It's flaky, buttery, chocolately, and tender with some crispy edges. The cinnamon ones were good, but the chocolate ones are my favorite here. The cheese & cherry rugelach were delicious and fluffy with the right amount of sweetness and filling. I've previously had some of their other items, and can also recommend the dark chocolate babka (which I was lucky enough to purchase one time while it was still warm), the pistachio cherry croissant, and the spicy cheese stick. I will be back to try their other items.

Although, for both my wife and I, we felt that the version from Geneva tasted just a bit better. Perhaps it's the water. Perhaps it's our romanticized recollection. Ah, well, we continue to enjoy Aux Merveilleux de Fred!

I don't feel bad that customers walked out while he was taking our order. We ordered a caramel and a pistachio merveilleux and a raisin bread. The caramel was too sweet. The pistachio didn't have much pistachio flavor. We thought it was a shame the service was so bad because our coffees were pretty good!

La Farine might be one of the prettiest dessert spots I've been to in NYC…read more The pastries look like they're sitting in a jewelry case, but the real question is do they actually taste as good as they look? Iced Strawberry Latte - A layered strawberry latte that lets you control the sweetness. Stir in as much (or as little) of the strawberry as you want depending on whether you're craving more coffee or more dessert. I actually really enjoyed this one. Dark Chocolate Tart - My favorite of the night. Rich dark chocolate, a touch of sea salt, and not overly sweet. If you're only ordering one dessert, make it this. Exotica Cake - A close second. Light, tropical, and one of those cakes that somehow disappears before you realize you've finished it. Raspberry Ruby Tiger Cake - Beautiful to look at with a bright raspberry flavor that balances out the richer desserts perfectly. Apple Tart Tatin - Definitely the most unique dessert. It wasn't my personal favorite, but if I had to describe it... imagine apple pie baked with beer. If that sounds like your thing, you'll probably appreciate it more than I did. If you're looking for a date night dessert spot, somewhere to catch up with friends, or you just have a serious sweet tooth, La Farine is definitely worth adding to the list.

Their upstairs space feels thoughtfully curated, offering a quiet escape from the city while maintaining a warm, welcoming energy. Each of their bakery items reflect a high level of craftsmanship, from the rich, perfectly balanced Dark Chocolate Éclair to the buttery Scrambled Egg in Croissant with Asparagus and Gouda Chee. The Mozzarella and Heirloom Tomatoes in Sourdough with Pesto Sauce was fresh and vibrant, while the Smoked Salmon in Challah Roll with Cream Cheese and Capers stood out with its soft texture and clean flavors. I really enjoyed the Pistachio White Chocolate Babka Slice, which was not too sweet and paired seamlessly with our delicious Iced Oat Milk Lattes. Service elevated the experience further with Yankee providing attentive, friendly care from ordering through service, which was the perfect personal touch that made the visit to the UWS memorable.

Super cool how Angelina opened a bakery near Lenox Hill Hospital serving a variety of baked goods,…read moreand I think where they really shine is their tiny little pastries and cookies that you can get individually and pay less but get a greater variety. It's the perfect place to get a small bite. They also have lunch sandwiches that are on the smaller side and cheaper and it's the perfect light lunch; I'm a fan of their chicken one. Huge fan of their presence and think they definitely have a lasting place in the neighborhood. The mini croissants are nice and crisp on the outside, the donuts are maybe my least favorite thing, but their little italian cookies are also really solid and the perfect small bite. They also have coffee slush, at least during the summer.

It had just two slices of meat and two slices of cheese. No wonder thet asked if I wanted it heated. This was my first visit. There were six people working, but there seemed to be very little teamwork or direction. The cashier, who seemed like she might have been new, was by far the highlight of the experience. She was friendly, patient, and the only employee who made me feel welcome. The woman I believe was the manager had a noticeably aggressive attitude toward the front-end staff. After an awkward moment trying to figure out who I was supposed to order from and then asking the price of a soda, I commented that the process was confusing. She simply rolled her eyes, which was disappointing and unprofessional. I also observed employees handling food with bare hands, which wasn't reassuring. I work next door, and now I understand why so many of my coworkers told me not to eat here. I was hoping they'd be wrong, but unfortunately my experience matched what I'd been told. This version is more likely to be taken seriously because it focuses on specific observations rather than insults, while still making it clear why you were disappointed.

If I'm in the neighborhood again I'll grab the croissant to go or enjoy it there if I'm not with the kid! I'm highly recommending.
