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!

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).

The barista was so pleasant even though I had a question or two; they have no sugar-free syrups but they do have skim milk. They also have fresh vegan cookies and packaged vegan pastries. Although they do have a little bar to sit at against the window, it's tiny so I am pretty sure it is unusual to get a spot. The coffee was great!!! A delicious iced vanilla latte will keep me motivated to go to class again next week! Their menu seems sparse but their special was seasonal and delicious.

Today, my friends and I enjoyed Sunday brunch at Chelsea Cafe inside the Chelsea Hotel. One of my…read morefriends immediately commented that it felt like we transported to Paris, as we were further surrounded by interesting artwork and a French ambiance. We started with a bottle of the Alsace wine, which perfectly complemented our food and the Parisian vibe. I opted for the omelette with Gruyère which was delicious, although I found myself very full by the end, as it came with two sides. The fries were a must-have -- so crispy, salty & fresh. I'd recommend that at least one person at the table order them, but the portion is pretty generous. :) The service was nice, albeit a bit slow at times. However, the staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is chill -- we weren't in a rush at all! Sitting at a booth in the back, we had the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy our meal, making for a lovely brunch with friends or family.

So of course I made my way over and immediately fell in love with the ambiance! The cafe is reasonably large by nyc standards. My group was able to snag some of the comfy chairs in the back. I ordered the iced honey oat latte and loved it. The honey was subtle but did add a lovely touch of sweetness. And of course I need a pastry with my coffee and decided to switch it up and go savory because balance, right? The spinach pastry was AMAZING! Exceeded my expectations and was the perfect snack size- but I almost went back for a second one! Friendly neighborhood cafe that is worth a visit! The community obviously loves this place (rightfully so). So go show some support!

One was bald with a wide smile, and another had a moustache and a neck tattoo. While I was waiting for my order, another customer expressed discontent with hers (to the point where she thought she ordered the wrong thing); and the baristas did everything reasonable to get her a drink she'd like with a smile and a quip. They answered my questions about why olive oil is such a prevalent ingredient in the juice options and complimented my sneakers. The tip I gave was not enough to express how much I enjoyed my ~15minute stint in the store, frankly. I got the Green Sport, and it was embarrassing how quickly I drank it down. So refreshing in the summer.

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 inside isn't huge, only a handful of tables that fill up quickly. The coffee was good, maybe a little bit of bitter aftertaste but still a tasty latte nonetheless. They have a nice selection of pastries and desserts, as well as some sandwiches and savory options. I got a cheddar jalapeño scone and thought it was good, the right level of doughy and good flavor throughout. Come for the outdoor seating if you're in the area and want to people watch.

It was raining so the only option was to sit inside. Good thing that a couple of tables opened up as soon as my order was ready so I was able to sit right next to the door on comfy couch type seating and got my own tiny table. I loved the design, the French interior design and the chocolate brown walls,ight fixtures and wall art. I wasn't really able to enjoy myself as much as I thought as the place was crowded and you can hear everyone chitter chattering all at once and the music was very low. The cafe was busy and there were people constantly coming in and out so it felt cramped. I stayed about a half hour drinking my latte and my small poppy bagel with soaked salmon and cream cheese. The latte was decent- almost tasted like it was straight out of one of those machines. It was not memorable and quite frankly I won't be going back for it. The bagel was good quality and the Smoaks salmon and cream cheese wasn't anything new. The bagel was the best thing honestly. There was also a faint odor throughout the cafe that wasn't pleasant. Loved the interior decor but everything else was a miss. Sorry.
