    It's fascinating reading other reviews about one of the finest, even if it might be one of the smallest bakeries on the upper westside of Manhattan. Their bread, cookies, croissants , cakes and eclairs are in a league of their own. I suppose you could describe them as being absolutely DELICIOUS! And as wonderful as their products are, their staff, especially Bebe,have always gone out of their way to make all the customers feel deserving of their wonderful treats. My personal favorites are their chocolate and coffee eclairs. They are so outstanding, you can save on your airfare to Paris and just head over to this wonderful bakery!

    Chocolate almond croissant, cinnamon bun

    Had pretty high expectations from all the great reviews but not sure they were met. We tried the chocolate almond croissant and the cinnamon bun. They were both alright, nothing to write home about. We did visit closer to closing, so perhaps they would've been better had they been freshly baked. It's a quaint little bakery with a wide selection. I'll add that staff were friendly but quiet.

    Very tiny tiny place. I thought they have full of bread. I didn't check all the photo.i was little disappointed because I saw play at Lincoln center then walk here to get some bread for eat I. Train to back home. I thought more baguette or more choice. But they have few bread and small cake. I got croissants and brioche. I bite croissants they taste buttery and good I ate 1/2. Bring home. But brioche. It wasn't good. D little dry for my taste and not buttery or eggy at all. Dry little sugary small piece of bread. If I got small cake may be better... but I got go other place to buy some other bread.

    What a delicious way to start the morning! My friend and I had planned for a day in central park, and wanted to pick up some treats to take with us for breakfast. I found this bakery on google maps, and it was only 2 blocks in from central park west. The shop was extremely cute - they had a patisserie fridge and more of a croissant/bread section as well. The folks working there were so kind, and seemed to know locals coming in - your quintessential neighborhood bakery! Everything looked irresistible, and I decided on a mini spinach quiche, while my friend got one of those and a peach croissant. We took our treats to Bethesda fountain and feasted! I was delighted to find that the pastry crust on the quiche was so buttery and divine, and simply melted in my mouth. It was probably the best quiche I've ever had! I will have to go back and try many more items off their menu!

    Don't miss this fresh bakery right off of Columbus Avenue. We had the almond croissant which was delicious! Also, the apple tart which was good and fresh as well. All baking done on property!! Let's support small business and Don't miss this gem!

    My favorite bakery in NYC so far! Their fruit tarts are a m a z i n g. If you need to bring something to a potluck call in the day before and they'll make one to your specifications ready for pick up in the morning! It's a really tiny space and there's no space to stay and eat so make sure you have a plan! Honestly a perfect treat to take to the park. Grab a coffee from solid state coffee nearby & enjoy together!

    I wanted to spoil myself today and stumbled into Epices. When I opened the door to the shop, the air was filled with a delicious scent of butter. I waffled between a choux pastry and 3 different tarts. The shop person recommended the lemon meringue and I'm really glad I listened to her. I was only planning to have a few bites but I ended up eating the whole thing. It was the perfect balance of buttery, lemony and meringuey. I will definitely go back to try the others.

    Beautiful red plum tart shining in the sun!

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    This is my third time going and I have to say I finally got the right desert the third time…read more Shared pics from all 3. Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
