    Cinnamon roll
    Darian P.

    I stopped by Claude Bakery and the service was ok. Staff didn't seem especially friendly. They were deep in conversation with each other. I ordered the cinnamon roll, which I was excited about since I've tried quite a few around NYC. Unfortunately, it was a bit mid. For a weekend afternoon I expected more fresh. I was crunchy- seemed a day old. The texture and flavor were fine, but it didn't really stand out compared to other cinnamon rolls I've had in the city. Not bad, just not particularly memorable. Space was clean but very small.

    During my childhood in the 90s, a man actually named Claude owned this bakery. He was a taciturn fellow with knee problems who briefly banned my entire family for reasons unbeknownst to us. After he retired, his protégé Pablo inherited the bakery and mostly maintained the status quo of their baked goods. Their best items were a coffee eclair, a rectangular chocolate mousse cake, and a flimsy but decadent quiche. The new Claude bakery is a bit disingenuous in claiming they've been here since 1982, as little to nothing is maintained from prior ownership. But I sampled a variety of their croissants, including the heirloom tomato variety that surely would have raised Claude's eyebrows. However, they were all quite buttery with good structure and delicious. I was surprised that the tomato was actually my favorite one.

    So many great bakeries in NYC! Been keeping an eye on Claude via IG ... I ordered a new item they added recently: Elote croissant with sweet corn, cotija cheese, lime was good however the croissant overpowered the elote. Next time I will try one of their sweet pastries or cakes ... maybe the cherry black forest or chocolate cake or blueberry corn or. The bakery is small, but has great seating for its size, including bar stools in the window. Lovely display case, and each item has a description with price. The shop currently sits under scaffolding so I expect it will be much brighter inside once it is removed. A well dressed owner or manager was meeting with someone at a table... he also welcomed in 2 women who I think may have been content creators/ influencers... he offered to pay for their order. I flew under the radar, LOL. $9.25 with tax. 11:30am on Friday in July, no line (a few people inside enjoying their orders). * social media influence: usually I have a good record with food that grabs me, but in the past 2 weeks I should have stuck with items that were already hits, instead of new seasonal menu items... Also, I normally would order a couple of items to get a broader opinion... next time, I hope! Next stop, back to L'Industrie while I am in the neighborhood. Full carb day!

    Chocolate cake

    Chocolate was good, not fantastic. Frosting was very sweet. Cake was moist and dense, it took about 3 bites to really start enjoying it.

    Stopped by in the late afternoon to get a pastry and it didn't disappoint Ended up getting the strawberry pastry and they had lots of other fruit pastry options It was hard to decide on just one to order but I would definitely go back to try other options in the future It was also nice being able to take it to a nearby park to sit and enjoy it outside. Store is located in a great area

    A Slice of Manhattan Blackout Cake
    Sein S.

    After going to Claud in the East Village for their well known chocolate cake, we had to compare it to Claude bakery's in the West Village. It's a cute spot with counter service and little bistro tables to snack on. My friend and I shared the blackout cake and the red velvet. The chocolate was definitely the better of the two with its puddling like chocolate buttercream and fun sprinkles. The red velvet texture honestly felt like it was over-mixed before baking. But I can't turn down cream cheese frosting. We didn't try any of their other pastries. Overall, fine if you're craving cake but I prefer a few different bakeries in the area.

    Coffee and Pastries are amazing! I really enjoyed my Heirloom Tomato and Swiss Cheese pastry. It was really pricey however (around $8 or 9). I also like the ambiance but the space is very small so great to visit if you are coming alone, with just one other person, or for pick up. The people are also friendly.

    I love this slice of cake with real cherry! Small amount of intimate seating inside but the tables are very cute. One worker and they seem to be nice but a bit overwhelmed. no bathroom

    Chocolate Croissant
    Alana K.

    My coworker picked me up a chocolate croissant for me and wow! It was one of the best chocolate croissants I've eaten in New York. My preference is certainly for a well-baked, crispy croissant as opposed to a bready/tender croissant, and that is what I received. I will be back!

    Almond croissant
    Jina P.

    Honestly the almond croissant is very expensive given the size but it was delicious and had a lot of filling which I enjoyed. Seating inside is limited.

    Whoa

    How perfect! Claude bakery takes over the former Patisserie Claude a venerable Village gem. Claude the restaurant makes one of the best chocolate cakes I ever tasted and here there's the Manhattan Blackout cake. $9.95 The spot has been brightened with white and blue hues and this is no ordinary bakery as the Claude chefs are culinary wizards. The blueberry Dani's also looked incredible. Excited for this bakery-to have landed on the West Side.

    Croissant. Sour. Wet inside. No butter flavor. All aesthetics.
    Citlali A.

    I finally went in to the new version of Patisserie Claude, called Claude 82. I had assumed it was just a rebranding of the original Claude's, but it is a completely new restaurant with a new look, new owners and new recipes. The once truly French style croissants are now the jumbo plasticine American style with cheap butter flavor, and sour wet dough inside. The outside shell looks beautiful, but it is all aesthetics. Inside Claude 82 is very cutesy and has gone the way of the rest of the Instagram placating coffee spots in town. I was happy to see the same young person working behind the counter as the original Claude's, but that was about the only thing that stayed the same. The croissant and chocolatine were gross, the blueberry danish was good, but not special. The chocolate cake looks good so l'll have to try it, and update my review. That said I won't be getting any of the Viennoiserie here again, it's no different than what you can get on any NYC corner, so unless the cake is really great I just don't know why I'd go here vs anywhere else. If yall have the previous recipes, I'd say go back! They are what kept the original Claude's in business so long. We want to root for you!!!! Let us!

    Baked fresh and served in a nice store. A lot of delicious options for croissants and coffee. Some of my favorites here are the Creme Brulee Cruffin, Tiramisu, and Manhattan Blackout Dark Chocolate Cake. Delicious.

    It's been a few months but I still think about this chocolate cake so I gotta give it a 5/5. Only complaint is the use of sprinkles.

I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang

    WARNING! CAKE was AWFUL! FELL APART!…read more I ordered a cake from a professional baker (Soma cakes) a few years ago that was beautifully made but was a bit bland, so I decided to look for a different baker. I found BakeStreet online, and I chose a baker, only to find out these are not "professional" bakers but HOME BAKERS! I didn't realize they employ home bakers until I asked my baker for the address. The NYC address they use for their business is NOT a real bakery! I thought these were professional bakers working out of a bakery. I found this part to be very misleading and only found out after I selected my baker and paid a deposit. My baker was 30 minutes from the city by car. I had made a deposit, and even though my intuition told me to back out, I decided to take a chance based on her reviews. I'm really curious if the reviews for the bakers are from real customers. Makes you wonder. You have to realize these cakes are being made in their homes! There are no sanitary rules that you know are being observed. My cake was placed in a cardboard box, and although it didn't really look like what I wanted, and the tassel, lettering, and diploma looked amateurish, what can a customer do after they paid for the cake and need it for a special occasion. Seriously, this is a great way to get ripped off! Once we got home and took the cake out of the box, it was falling apart, and the company had the nerve to tell us it was made properly! This cake was worth $100 maybe $150 but NOT almost $400. A cake that is baked properly will not fall apart after a 15 minute car ride! At the time that I picked up the cake, I told her I could hold it in my lap, but she said it wasn't necessary and placed the cake in the car. My Soma Cake that lasted an hour in the car to a different location never fell apart! The company had the nerve to offer me a $50 credit for a future cake that I would NEVER purchase! Why would I purchase another cake from a home baker? Poor customer service! They can enjoy my money! What a RIP-OFF! If a cake cannot make it in 15 minutes from pick-up to your location, there is something wrong with the cake! If you want to have a cake beautifully made, use Soma Cakes but don't get the red velvet. She is very talented. Her cake looked so realistic and we received a lot of compliments, but unfortunately it was bland, but it was a lot cheaper than what this company charged me, or you can just make your own cake. I'm sure it will be better than the disaster I received! Also, PLEASE do your research on this company. They have bad reviews on TrustPilot! If you want an okay cake, order from here. If you want a cake for a really special occasion, please go somewhere else. Find a place with an actual bakery and professional bakers. You will pay the same amount but get better results and not have to deal with their awful customer service!

Samantha is professional, sweet, charming, and super talented.
