I've been a regular at Miss Madeleine's for the past three years. In fact, Miss Madeleine's, in my humble opinion, has the best croissants in the city - a city, mind you, that is not short on French bakeries. To place this boulangerie among the top is a grand statement indeed, and I stand by it. Miss Madeleine consistently churns out freshly baked goods that you can smell half a block away. If you're lucky, you may arrive on a day when the bread baskets are being filled with items fresh from the oven, which was the case on my last visit. I come here for my favorite treat from the menu: the ham and cheese croissant. Flaky on the outside yet soft and custardy on the inside, cheese light and melty slathered all over the tender sliver of ham. Warm, of course, having been pulled out not too long ago from the oven. I've tried other goods from this shop, including the leek and chives pastry that is packed full of flavor, and a slice of pistachio cake, also delicious and not too sweet. Miss Madeleine is a neighborhood favorite, and it will soon be yours if you give it a chance. read more

I come here every few Saturdays when I stop at the local market they have on the same street. When there is good weather there is always a line but it's quick to get through. The baked goods come out fresh regularly, it's more likely your's will still be warm from the oven than not. The ham and cheese croissant is great but personally prefer the jam filled ones. It's a smaller shop but for just grabbing something on the go, it's incredible. read more

Disappointed that the Madeline was a little on the meh side but loved the 1/2 baguette. Also, the cinnamon roll which looked like it might be dry, wasn't - it was full of moist cinnamon goodness. Looking forward to returning for croissant. read more

Best croissants i've found in UES or even Manhattan. Both the plain and chocolate are must tries. They are a bit petit but reasonable price and give cottage vibes isolated away from the rest of UES. Wish I had taken up on their Mother's Day madeleine deals. Sweet service and welcoming staff read more

Miss Madeleine - Chocolate Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of the best French bakeries in the city. They bake fresh croissants every day, and they've never disappointed me. The prices are reasonable. The service is quick and perfect for grab-and-go. There's a small seating area, but most people tend to come in and out. If you're ever in the area, definitely try their croissants, especially the plain ones. They're my favorite! read more

I went on a canele hunt in NYC. This place 's canele has the best texture. Crispy on the outside and soft custard on inside . HoweverI, the flavour and presentation is better at Fournil , but miss madeleine got the best texture in town ! read more

Incredible ham and cheese croissant. I will definitely be back to try more croissants and madeleines read more

Miss Madeleine is on my way to my dentist. At times there's a long line waiting to get inside. Today was quiet and I stopped to take photos before the dentist. After the dentist appointment I returned to eat. They have more than just sweets now so I really enjoyed a Croquet Monsieur. The service is great by a smiling friendly and knowledgeable employee. She knows the ingredients to help me control my allergies. The price is very reasonable. There's plenty of comfortable seats outside but I just stood at the counter to eat. I'm recommending and I'm sure I'll return when there's no line! And if I'm in the neighborhood. There's lots of great food places in the neighborhood. read more

i am obsessed with this spot. they literally have the best nutella croissant i have every had in my entire life!!! so fresh and buttery-usually warm too. i love giving this place my business and am so lucky that they are in my neighborhood. please go support!! read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place. Cutest coffee shop/bakery. They Have two cute bear stuffed animals outdoors. No indoor seating as they do not have any room. I usually get the croissant with egg and ham in it. Its very tasty. And as soon as you walk in smells like freshly baked goods! read more

We are fans of Caneles and have been looking for the best one in NYC for a while. My friends recommended us to give Miss Madeleine a try and we did not regret. Miss Madeleine is super popular in the neighborhood and due to the limited capacity, there is always a long line. You can enjoy the wonderful and appetizing smell of pastries while waiting. We got their Ham & Cheese Croissant, Madeleine, 4 boxes of Caneles and a cup of latte. Their pastries were delicate and amazingly delicious with reasonable price. The layer inside their croissant wasn't crispy, not the way we prefer but is still super soft and puffy. The Caneles, our main purpose of this visit, were the best because of the chewy texture with buttery flavors. We would like to try their quiche and almond croissant next time but we might come at an earlier time to beat the crowd. read more

I heard they had really good croissants so I went one morning (very early in the morning). There was no line and fresh croissants. They have a variety of flavors but I went with the original. The inside of the croissant is buttery and soft while the outside does have a crunch. I would totally go back. read more

Great little spot for a pastry. Only downside is long lines on weekends and coffee is ok

I got 6 madeleines for $7.50 (discounted as you buy more). This is just personal preference but I thought they weren't really good despite the name. I tried the original, lemon, caramel, almond, and chocolate chip (they ran out of orange). The texture was too spongy, and the caramel may have been the best of the bunch, but the flavors felt muted. My favorite in NYC so far has been the Dominique Ansel ones. They did have a whole bunch of other French pastries that I might try if I'm in the area. I feel bad for my review, but totally just my preference probably! read more

Glad I wandered in on my morning walk. I got the chocolate twist and it was a great way to start my day. I loved the custard and the flakiness of the dough. Will be back to try the croissants! read more

I stumbled across this place bc I saw pinkies from afar & it looked like a place I needed to be at. This small French pastry place is located in the upper east side and has plenty of French pastries to choose from. On this occasion I settled for madeline, chocolate croissant & canele. I really loved the canele, which I ate before even thinking to take a pic. In my experience, it's hard to get this pastry right! This place does it exceptionally well. The chocolate croissant doesn't fall far behind. It is flaky buttery and the chocolate makes it that much better. My least favorite was the red velvet madeline. It didn't taste freshly baked & it was so dry. There are other selections I wanted to try but for now I was very satisfied with my selections. read more

There's always a line here. We tried their ham and cheese croissants, Nutella croissants, mushroom quiche and coffee. The ham and cheese was good. Nutella eh. Quiche good, but maybe too creamy, not too much egg for my taste. Coffee (decaf) was good, which was surprising because it didn't look like the kind of place with good coffee. Overall great, but I think I've had better croissants in Argentina (sorry can't compare to Paris lol). read more

What a wonderful little gem!! I came Monday morning and got one of their strawberry croissants (I don't know of any other place around that has something like that!). It was super good. Very doughy and soft inside with a bit of jam and crispy on the outside (doughy croissants are my fave). And for $3.50, pretty solid. I am totally coming back because there are a bunch of other things I want to try here!! Apparently they have chausson aux pommels on the weekends so I'm gonna have to go back for those :) 11/19: came this morning at around 10:30 to hopefully get the pecan tarts they posted about. Unfortunately I guess they only do that on the weekend (?), but I managed to get the last pumpkin croissant and an apple tart. Both were great. read more

Super cute little shop with pastries and quiches. They also have croissants, madeleines (duh), and macarons. But I was just here for the coffee as a pick-me-up. Got an iced latte, and it definitely hit the spot. They have some tables and chairs on the street. Swing by on the weekends before or after the farmer's market! read more

The best croissants and definitely compares to those in Paris! We also got mini-cupcakes however, these were way too sweet. Unfortunately when we visited they did not have eclairs, hopefully we can try a more typical French pastry as oppose to cupcakes next time. read more

Super cozy, cute bakery! I love the strawberry, peach, chocolate, almond, and nutella croissants here. Ample layers, and the fruit jams are housemade I think. It's nice that they don't overstuff their pastries with the spreads/jams (too much is too sweet!), which I find tends to be a problem with American bakeries. Ask them to heat them up! Service is always fast, but make sure to get there early if you want the strawberry croissants since they run out fast. Have heard though that the coffee isn't good, so maybe stick to the baked goods. read more

Last week I visited Miss Madeleine for the 1st time. It is a small place that I didn't find very exciting. Their selection, to me, seemed small and not that interesting. For what you get, it is also very expensive. I ended up with an eclair and cream puff. They were okay, but I have definitely had better. This business will continue to thrive, though, because they are next to school, and kids love sweets. As for me, I am a 1 time customer. read more

There's always a long line outside of this cute little bakery. We needed to bring dessert to a friend, so we decided to give Miss Madeline a try. Everyone on line recommended the croissants as the best in NY. My wife and I split one and it was excellent. We ordered an assortment of small cakes and tarts. They were all very good. My favorite was the chocolate mousse tart. My wife preferred one that looked like a cross between a cream puff, a napoleon and a candy apple. My buddy was bullish on the tarte tatin. Everything was really, really sweet., The staff were great about boxing the pastries. 4.5 stars- best French pastries I have had in a while (though my ideal dessert is an affogato and a couple of biscotti). read more

I occasionally stop by this tiny bakery in the middle of the block on East 82 Street, betw. First And York Avenues. At 2:30 PM today I had my usual fresh cafe au lait, but tried their peach flavored croissant. I was able to enjoy 30 minutes of peace sitting at one of their small tables under a tree enjoying my delicious selection. read more

On Saturday mornings there's a long line outside for a reason. I've tried several different croissants and in my opinion there's one true standout star. It's not chocolatey or fruit filled. It's savory, not sweet. It's the bacon, egg and cheese croissant. I actually ordered it because they ran out of the spinach and cheese one that caught my eye. My am I glad. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant is perfection. The egg is creamy with little bites of soft bacon throughout. It's not large, more of a snack for me or a light breakfast, but it's definitely worth it. I can't wait to go back. I didn't get a picture because I devoured it. Their chocolate twist is also quite good. read more

you have to get the leek and parmesan croissant. if you dont you will be haunted with a lifetime of regret

Ordered a strawberry cake and it was amazing. As soon as you open the box you smell strawberries and cream! Summer exemplified ! It was moist and the cake was not too sweet and the sweetness came from the strawberries. read more

I love this place! In my opinion, they have the best plain croissants and chocolate croissants on the UES (I've tried way more than you want to know). They're flaky and soft, with the perfect amount of sweetness. And to me, they remind the most of the pastries I've had in Paris. read more

Cannelle 1.99 basically a bite was ok quiche ok strawberry croissant very little strawberry jam apple tart quite good coffee was honestly really bad actually had to dump it and I don't recall having to dump coffee before spent about 19 dollars walked quite far to come here.

Croissants and cannele five stars! They come out hot in the morning. Favorites are the fruit croissants, chocolate and Nutella. Almond wasn't as flavorful though. Skip the Madeleine - doesn't compare. read more

The pink is too cute that you can't miss. During pandemic it's one customer in the shop at one time, it's kinda good that even though you have to wait but you are the king/ queen once you are in the shop enjoying the AC and get all the attention (just one person works at there anyway lol). I had 2 Madeline for each kind, so it's a total of 10. For a dozen you get a special price but I'm indecisive so I asked the person who works there what's his favorite. He said plain Madeline, and told me in France they only have plain Madeline. I've never been there but I went with his suggestion. Never can go wrong with the original flavor I think. Also got chocolate croissant and twists, and Nutella croissant. The shop smelt so good, the rich aroma of bakery. Liked it there instantly. Will stop by again read more
