They recently started selling sandwiches and breakfast fare next door. I walk my daughter to school in the morning and the aroma of freshly baked bread is addictive. I almost always have to go in. The one thing I cannot resist is their ham and cheese croissant. It's huge and about $4.50 a pop. It's buttery and flaky and absolutely perfect... especially since Nick +Son moved to greenpoint. Nothing like a freshly baked croissant. They also deliver which has been a good experience as well.

The cafe sells INCREDIBLE food. The breakfast sandwiches are beyond delicious. They customize ur breakfast sandwich as well & the employees are very nice & welcoming. The smoothies are DELICIOUS!!!!! They only have 1 size which is probably the only bad thing about this place. Then there's the bakery on the corner of manhattan av and Montrose. The BREAD sold there IS THE BEST BREAD U HAVE EVER HAD!!! It's fresh all the time ( very soft) & they have a variety of breads. They also sell coffee and cakes. Fresh bread is constantly coming out due to it selling out so u may have to wait 5 minutes for a new batch) I give Tasty Bread Artisan a 10/10.

I grabbed a ham and cheese croissant and a strawberry soft cream cake. The croissant was actually flaky with a decent butter flavor, not dry or bready like a lot of chain spots. The ham wasn't cheap-tasting either, which I half expected. The strawberry cake was light and not overly sweet, more whipped cream than sugar bomb, which made it easy to finish without feeling gross. Also tried their iced latte. Nothing fancy, but it wasn't burnt or watery, which honestly already puts it above a lot of similar chains. What stands out is consistency. You can walk into almost any location and know exactly what you're getting. Display is always stocked, everything looks clean, and the ordering process is quick even when it's busy. It's not a destination bakery, but that's not the point. It's a reliable, better-than-average stop when you want something quick that still feels a little elevated.

Even though I like supporting, small, independent businesses, this franchise location is very…read moreconvenient and always stocked with fresh pastries foods, & cakes. The staff is really nice and easy-going. Also, the young (I think) 2nd Gen owner (very cool seeing the culture carried on) is there a lot. Everything is freshly baked and a good portion. Even the sandwiches and salads in the packaged food case look really good. I've had the custard cream bun, hotdog garlic roll, & a egg, ham & hash brown roll (wasn't a huge fan, the hash brown doesn't stay crispy). I've tried the Portuguese egg tart (Pastel de Nata) & that wasn't so great - reminded me of the egg tarts from Aldi, sweet bland filler custard. The staff can heat the pastries up for you, but it might take at least two rounds for larger items. Highly recommend the round fried rice flour/mochi doughnut, soboro bao (the peanut butter crust-topped bun) & if they have, a coffee/mocha shell-topped bao. You can't go wrong with a Korean chiffon cake slice - not too sweet, and light as air buttercream. Not sure if the strawberry cake is based off of Japanese strawberry (birthday) cake. I've never had their drinks, so don't have a review about them. I don't get the impression that the drinks are the strength of the café. Paris Baguette is a chain from Korea. I think their cafés in Korea are a lot bigger and very nice/comfortable, the US version is a more minimal and quick service kind of set up. For $4 -15 you can get a decent pastry, sandwich, or salad which is a great option for the area, LaGuardia Community College students & hotel guests nearby.

I tried a few of their matcha drinks and this time I just got a standard Iced Matcha Latte. They don't whisk the matcha. They use a hand blender/frother, which isn't as authentic but it still was alright. There weren't clumps of powder so it still did the job. It wasn't the best matcha I've had, but it's decent enough.

I like that it's a french-chinese fusion and their flavor combinations are interesting and familiar to me, a Chinese-American, but I'm not sure i'm running back to spend the same amount of $$ for what we got. I got an osmanthus flavored basque cheesecake with cream on top which is cool and I do like osmanthus, the flavor of which it certainly honored, and the texture smooth. I think the palate of the desserts certainly leans towards the Chinese palate, including the texture palate despite utilizing some French techniques. I'm more 50-50 on my preference. The staff were helpful and they do have a drink menu too. It's a smallll space inside with maybe one or two tables.

Sweet, soaked, and quite interesting. My personal favorites were the little varied cookies that they have to offer and it's so fun because they have SO many of them so you can pick one of several and have a fun time deciding which one is your favorite. The lady working there was so nice, too, and super helpful in helping us decide what we should order. I would come back just for the adventure of trying new things. I think I was taken by surprise by how much rum was honored by some of the more headlining desserts! NYC is one of those places you can transport yourself to another country just by walking a few feet. This is one of those places that should stay to keep that experience true.
