I'm a croissant lover; met a friend who is also a croissant lover for coffee and croissants this…read moremorning. BUT, my husband and I recently took a trip to Paris and I also love pain aux raisins. To our delight, Cafe Bilboquet has those too, so my friend and I each had a small coffee and a pain aux raisins. The pastry was as good as any that my husband and I had in Paris! I've also had lunch here with a couple of other friends in recent months. They have a good variety of pretty authentic French sandwiches and some quiches, eggs, etc. Not inexpensive, but the food is top-notch. You order at the counter, then move up to the cashier, tell them what your order is and pay for it. If you're lucky, as we were around 9:45 this morning, you'll get one of the little round tables where you can sit and chat and relax; in good weather there are some tables outside as well; a lovely boulangerie or patisserie experience!

Cafe Bilboquet caught my eye as I meandered toward Central Park. I couldn't make out it's name, but…read moreI saw many customers coming out with coffees and pastries, so I decided I must try it. Upon getting closer to the door, I learned it's part of Le Bilboquet restaurant on the same block. It wasn't too crowded when I visited on a Tuesday mid-afternoon. Every table except 1 was full, but most people were heading outside on such a beautiful day with their drinks and pastries. The cafe is very cute and French. They have so many pastries I couldn't decide, so I ordered a pain au chocolat and tea. They serve Harney & Sons teas. This is a lovely spot, and I'll return to try more.

This is the second Sant Ambroeus that I've tried, and the espresso was just as good as their UES…read moreshop. I had a cappuccino that tasted great, no bitterness or aftertaste. As of February 2026 there's a crazy amount of construction out front, meaning there's a single entrance/exit and outdoor tables that adjoin street construction barriers. Exterior aside, the interior was a bit chaotic, with tables and standing room almost on top of each other. The espresso drinks are good enough to brave the pandemonium that is ordering/waiting for your beverage, but plan on taking it to go if you come here!

We got: - 2 hot chocolates: this was super chocolatey and it came with some milk - which was needed - fruit tart: this was super yummy! I would say this was overpriced for what we got ($33.75).

Came here on Sunday for some pastries…read more Didn't have to wait long, as only one other person was there. Theres a shared bar table along one wall with high top chairs and menu options at the counter + a chalkboard with seasonal drinks. I left with a Balthazar Bakery box with 4 items. The 2 Everything pastries were filled with what looked like spinach and cheese. Incredible when reheated, but I wish they were served warm. The cinnamon roll was good, but not standout. The pain au chocolat was tender and flaky. Some of the seasonal drinks, like the Grinch, looked really good and I'd come back to try one, but I likely wouldn't swing for a pastry this time.

The Iced Biscoff Cookie Latte caught my eye as it was part coffee, part dessert. I really wanted to like it. It was definitely rich, nutty, and sweet but not creamy and smooth like a typical latte. It also had a chalky aftertaste which I couldn't look past. For ~$9, I expected much more. Overall, the flavor profile is promising but the execution was off.
