Amazing café in a cozy setting. Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had - I accidentally spilled it midway through, but the manager was so kind to help clean it and even offered a replacement! The pistachio croissant was absolutely divine and a must-order. Will definitely be back to try the other pastries!

Fantastic pistachio croissant! Do not feel bloated . Best in NYC. Coffee was good but not hot. Sourdough bread 5 stars.

I recently visited this bakery and ordered a cappuccino and an Americano. The drinks were absolutely delightful, with a rich and satisfying flavor. The pistachio croissant was good but since I’m not a big fan of twice baked croissants, it wasn’t my favorite and a bit heavy. But it can be an absolute delight, which is filled with a generous amount of pistachio goodness. The ambiance of the bakery is fantastic – it's a great place to work, relax, and enjoy your time. The great atmosphere and friendly staff make it an ideal spot for a coffee break or a leisurely afternoon. I would highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a tasty treat and a welcoming atmosphere.

A Delightfully Unique French Cafe I recently had the pleasure of visting a charming and unique French cafe tucked away in the heart of the city. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported as well as being enveloped in the delightful aroma of freshly baked pastries and the warm ambiance of the crop The pastries are simply divine. Each bite was a revelation of flavors and textures, a testament to the expertise and passion of the bakers. The savory pastry with egg and greens was a particular standout, combining delicate, flaky pastry with a rich and creamy filling. The freshness of the greens added a delightful contrast, making it a perfect choice for a light yet satisfying breakfast or brunch. And let's not forget the coffee!. The baristas skillfully craft each cup, resulting in a smooth and robust brew that is a true delight for coffee aficionados. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or an iced oat latte, you can trust that your caffeine fix will be expertly prepared and served with a smile. One aspect that sets them apart from others is their open bakery. It's a unique and captivating feature that allows customers to witness the magic of pastry-making firsthand. Watching the skilled bakers work their craft is a treat in itself and adds an extra layer of appreciation to the already exceptional pastries. Beyond the culinary delights, the staff deserve special mention. From the moment I walked in, their warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel like a cherished guest. They were attentive and always ready to offer suggestions or answer any questions I had. Their genuine enthusiasm for their work and dedication to ensuring a memorable experience made my visit all the more enjoyable. Thankyou

10/10 for cuteness alone. My first time here! I had the jamón burre baguette. It was lovely. The bread had been brushed with olive oil which was a nice addition. The hot cross buns looked amazing. They also serve pizettes which will be my next lunch order! I’ll have to come back for one. I sat in one of the eating nooks. Such a cool New York spot in the entry of an office building.

High quality and tasty bakery with yummy variety of viennoiseries. We arrived at around 12:45 on a Sunday so no more pistachio croissant. I had the plain croissant, egg savory with greens, pear feuilleté (flavored with ginger, tumeric and honey) for breakfast (kinda felt guilty to have so much but it's much higher quality and less sweet than most bakery). The croissant is one of the best I've had in NYC; it has rich butter and flakey pastry tastes without tasting like sugar which happens to many bakeries that just make sweet croissant. My husband had the ham baguette sandwich and he liked the texture of the baguette. We bought the winter harvest loaf to have with our soup for dinner and it's great! The oat milk latte was nice too since they use oatly. Highly recommend.

Absolutely the best bread in nyc, no question about it. Must try twice baked pistachios, superb. I also got their sesame sourdough bread, it’s the best sourdough I ever had.

It was hard to find at first because it's inside the Merchants Square Building - 220 Church St. So, not a bakery that's facing the street. Once I found my way, I was happy with the results: cute and friendly staff, good coffee and quality croissant! Price of croissant $4.50 and a large coffee $4 something. Oh, one more thing: get in there early, as the line queues up pretty fast!

Arcade has gone, but Gural’s legacy has been exquisitely carried forward. The Sicilian pistachio croissant is full of the aroma of butter and toasted nuts. The filling isn’t very dense, which made the croissant not overly rich or greasy. The egg savory danish is another heavenly good creature. I tried the one with mortadella and black truffle - what a joyful winter retreat after running all the way from Brooklyn to TriBeCa! Plus, their customized mint-ish espresso machine is super cute!

[2024 UPDATE] Frenchette's Galette des Rois is LEGIT. Combining pistachio and Bergamot orange frangipane, Frenchette gave this festive golden pie a new life. The caramelized top completed the buttery deliciousness. It would have been perfect if they reheated the slice for me. But never mind the puff pastry was surprisingly still very flaky with crackling crunchy sound. Compared to their Twice Baked Pistachio Croissant, this Pistachio Galette des Rois was less oily and less sweet. I've tried pistachio rasberry galette des rois in Japan this year but it was way too sweet. Glad that I have found a real winner at Frenchette. ——— A french boulangerie tucked inside a grand and classy building. Aggressive pricing. The opening hours are quite short (until 4pm on weekdays, 2pm on weekends), and the pastries sell out quickly. I was lucky to grab the last egg savory in the shelf at 1pm. Tables are spread along the hallway. Perfect spot for some quick bites. ＊ Twice Baked Sicilian Pistachio Croissant Unlike other bakeries, they don't skimp on pistachio frangipane and crumbs in their croissants. Sadly their croissant pastry was overwhelmingly buttery, like indulging in spoons of oil. I felt guilty after eating it lol. The pistachio filling was dense and nutty but lacked the depth of flavors comparing to Librae's rose pistachio croissant (Yes, I'm a sucker for librae). The quality of their pistachio croissants is quite inconsistent tho - i heard mixed reviews from frds and found that we all had diff pastry texture and filling portion. ＊ Market Greens Egg Savory The orange egg yolk was supposed to be runny according to pictures online, but mine was fully cooked. Once again, the danish layers were very flaky, however quite greasy. Undoubtedly overpriced ($9 each). ＊ Cappuccino w/ Oat Milk Very mid but it was an essential to boost my gloomy midday mood. My Recommendation: Twiced Baked Pistachio Croissant Worth Returning ? Yes I'm looking forward to galette des rois season!

Interesting little bakery. Entrance is from church street. We focussed on the croissants - the fillings are great. The reason I only gave 4 stars cause the croissants are a little bit too dry/too dark. Otherwise it's a great little place. With real coffee btw (freshly grinded).

I wish pastries here tasted as good as they looked. The croissant could be fluffier, and I couldn’t really taste the butter (which is basically 90% a croissant’s value). It was also slightly overbaked (but still, not as bad as “bien cuit”). I tried the twice-baked pistachio croissant as well, which are usually a good way to recycle old croissants. Not here though, since you’ll find pistachio inside the dough. Again, despite a great color, the taste was also disappointing, with a mild pistachio flavor, and a strong egg (?) aftertaste. Lastly, I have to say the baguette was quite good. The crust had the right texture, and the mie was soft and airy without being too chewy. With a bit more salt, it would have been perfect.

Great baked goods. My favorite was the hazelnut pastry. So good. Pistachio one was a bit sweet. Chocolate croissant was really good. Finally a dark chocolate croissant. Egg savory with mortadella was good too. Croissant was OK. Kouign Amann was very good and not too sweet. Black Forest bread was fine. Canale was very good. Gougeres were good. Ham sandwich was great.

2026 UPDATE: overall it’s a bit overpriced and the taste is just alright. Some are too sweet and some are too hard to chew. 2022: Really nice bakery store. I really like the table which is opened from the wall. The croissant is crunchy and latte is good.

The croissant looked great but it was not flakey at all. More like a bread texture. I would say this is like a croissant you can get at the supermarket. Coffee was good.

They don’t even have oregano or olive oil to put on their pizza! Kind of lame for a $17 small piece of pizza! Kind of untasty. Not to mention, they don’t even have any salt or pepper, anything! And also it’s called “Frenchette” but there is nothing French about this place. (Nice place through)
