I love bakeries with inventive flavors, so of course I ordered the corn croissant. The layers were flaky, and the center held together fluffy cream and a silky custard that were wonderfully sweet and caramel-y. I love the bits of sweet corn in there, adding a delightful crunch. I would order that again, and in fact, I was a bit tempted to get another, but I had other places to visit in my food crawl. I'd come back just for that!
What I really love about Claude is how they source ingredients from local farmers' markets and build their pastries around the seasons. Also good to know their pastries are made with Isigny French butter. No wonder the laminated layers are so flaky, rich, and buttery! Pro tip: go early for the seasonal pastries and sweet corn danish. They were completely sold out when I came after 1PM on the weekend! ＊Strawberry Danish $8.5 ** New addition to their summer lineup! Flaky, buttery layers filled with creamy custard and sweet-tart compote. Every bite is fruity and sweet, and I love that the glazed pastry stays crunchy. Easily my favorite from this haul. ＊Sweet Corn Pastry $8.5 The corn is pretty subtle, while I was actually hoping for more corn flavor. The dulce de leche steals the show with its rich, caramel-y sweetness. It's more like a dessert with a hint of savory corn. ＊Heirloom Tomato Croissant $8.5 While I wouldn't say it's the best heirloom tomato pastry I've ever had, I do love how it's generously topped with shredded aged mimolette for extra savory depth, and the natural tomato flavor really shines through. ＊Plain Croissant $5.25 * Seriously one of the best plain croissants I've had recently. So simple but so good. I'd happily get this again.
I came to celebrate Claude's 2nd anniversary and was excited to attend the advertised 5:00 PM event, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The event didn't actually begin until 5:32 PM, and at 5:14 PM the anniversary cake was still being assembled. A bunch of us waited in the heat for about 1.5 hours and more. The biggest disappointment was the communication around the advertised "special gifts, while supplies last." I watched staff assembling gift bags and naturally assumed they were for customers attending the event. After waiting in line for so long, we were told the gifts were only for partners and influencers. To make matters more confusing, one employee said an RSVP was required, even though there was no RSVP link on the Instagram post or website. Another employee gave a different explanation and came across as rude. If the gifts were never intended for the general public, that should have been communicated clearly beforehand. The wording of the post made it seem like attendees would receive them while supplies lasted, which created an expectation that wasn't met. I know many people waited in the long line because of that. I hope future events are better organized and communicate expectations more clearly. Transparency goes a long way in building trust with customers.
Had high hopes for this bakery and tried the seasonal tomatoe croissant. There was only one small slice of tomatoe. For the price, I would choose another bakery.
Wow! Got the sweet corn pastry and was so surprised at how flavourful it was! Loved the corn bits in the cream, the dulce de leche was the perfect combination and the pastry was nice and crispy. So many great options and plenty to choose from at 1pm - didn't have to queue which is a bonus! Will be back!!!
Chocolate coffee cake is so decadent and moist. Honey toffee latte was just the right balance of milk-espresso-burnt honey. A perfect latte.
Best salted maple latte I've had! It was absolutely delicious!! Creamy and had the perfect amount of flavor. Not too sweet! They also had cakes that looked amazing and many people came in to order a slice in the few minutes I was there. I sat inside and looked out the window watching people walk by in the west village on rainy day and it was the perfect setup! Highly recommend
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.
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.
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
Chocolate was good, not fantastic. Frosting was very sweet. Cake was moist and dense, it took about 3 bites to really start enjoying it.
Went to get the free tiramisu and it was so good!! Worth waiting in line for 30 mins for it!
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.

Amazing, flaky, crispy, buttery, giant, almond croissants. they have a steady flow of customers, but it's never an annoyingly long line. They also had a yummy funfetti cake earlier this year. Their chocolate cake is still on my WANT TO TRY list. I had their corn croissant last year and wish I tried this year's elote special. read more

Don't have a whole lot to say about this blackout cake. It's just about average. It lands a bit between being moist and dry. Solid enough to be enjoyable as cake, but nothing that makes you think you're eating anything special. The parts outside the frosting are quite plain - but the chocolate sprinkles on the outside do add a good texture to those bites. It's also just crazy expensive - at over 9 dollars a slice. Large slice, but still. 6/10 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Your comment is pretty outrageous and offensive to us. We never use…
Okay well firstly god bless the SINGULAR employee working here. Bro is handling the register, making the coffee, boxing the pastries, taking the orders single-handedly all the while maintaining a super jolly attitude. This place gets insanely busy and the line is honestly never ending. The Manhattan blackout cake was super solid. Definitely better than the Brooklyn blackout competitor at little cupcake bake shop and under ten bucks! Worth a try for sure. read more
A lovely bakery with a super friendly and helpful staff!! I had called in to make sure the chocolate cake was still available and the lady that answered the phone was so sweet and nice and going in person the amazing customer service continued! Got two chocolate slices and a funfetti and both cakes were not too sweet and so balanced with flavor. Loaded with frosting in all the good ways! Would definitely visit again read more

Came by to try a slice of their famous chocolate cake! The best chocolate cake I've ever had, which is saying something since I'm not a huge fan of cakes. The chocolate ganache was decadent and the cake was moist with just the right denseness. I've been craving it ever since! It's $10 per slice, which is on the pricier side, but it's so worth it. read more
Get to the Chase Pros: 1) Such great service. Friendly staff 2) One thing I love is chocolate! Having travelled to 22+ countries tasting our way through pastries, my wife and I have a high bar. We've searched high and low across the boroughs of NY to get that same oomph. While there are good ones there was always something: too pricy, too froo froo fancy and small, not enough chocolate punch, too much nasty frosting you'd expect at a kid's birthday party...but lo and behold we ordered the blackout chocolate cake on a Friday for Sunday Mother's Day pickup. Was ready on time, staff was super kind and even willing to accommodate to change my pickup window to earlier that day. It is THE BEST chocolate cake I've ever had - decadent ganache, unctuous chocolatey rich sponge, and usually not a fan of sprinkles but this blanket gave a nice textural contracting CRUNCH! So good! 3) Got the 9' full cake and came to about $100, which is not pricey at all because we still have half of it in the freezer Cons: 1) NONE read more
