Every one of them was delicious, with an incredibly light texture and perfectly crisp pastry. Our favorites were the caramel and the lemon meringue--the caramel was rich without being overly sweet, while the lemon had just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess. We also tried the almond pear tart, which was excellent. The crust was buttery and crisp, and the frangipane had a wonderful almond flavor that paired beautifully with the pears. It was a perfectly balanced dessert. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. We'll definitely be back to try more of the pastries!

5/5 ... pleasantly surprised!…read more We visited Barachou's booth at the Bastille Day celebration in New York on Sunday, July 11, and it ended up being one of our favorite food stops of the day. We ordered the pear almond tart along with the set of three cream puff choux. Both were excellent, but the cream puffs were definitely the highlight. The choux shells were light and delicate, while the fillings were rich without being overly sweet. The salted caramel was my favorite--beautifully balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a subtle hint of salt. My partner especially loved the lemon meringue, which was bright, refreshing, and full of citrus flavor. The pear almond tart was equally memorable. The almond filling immediately reminded us of a galette des rois frangipane, making it comforting, buttery, and incredibly satisfying. Combined with the pears, it struck a wonderful balance of richness and fruitiness. Everything tasted thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients, and it's easy to see why Barachou has developed such a loyal following. We'll absolutely be back for another pear almond tart and the trio of cream puffs the next time we have the chance. Highly recommended!

Cherry pistachio croissant: 10/10 (a really solid croissant-- not too sweet, but still has the sweetness from the cherry. Can't say this is my fav croissant place though, because I do prefer the croissants in L'Appartment a tad more.) Location is kinda weird-- it's located in the first floor of a community center so it was a hassle to get into the bakery... you have to check your id/bags etc. and the staff wasn't the friendliest. Service was fast but eh. Maybe I'll check out the other location next time.

I recently realized that there are so many Daily Provisions located around the city. Who would've…read morethought?! I honestly didn't know until recently. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's definitely a convenient spot no matter the time of day. The menu has a little bit of everything such as pastries, coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, soups and even gluten free options. They also serve beer and wine, which I wasn't expecting. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. The setup is mostly DIY since you throw away your own garbage and etc. But they do bring your food and drinks out to you. They also have a restroom for customers and a self serve tap water station with glasses, which I appreciated. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was alright, but I do think it could've used a little more flavor or seasoning.

Orwasher's on the Upper West Side is a true bakery standout -- especially if you're a bagel lover…read more Their gluten-free bagels are a revelation: noticeably higher in quality than most gluten-free options out there. They've got that perfect chew and depth of flavor you usually only find in traditional bagels, making them worth seeking out even if gluten-free isn't a must for you. The atmosphere is charming and classic, and the staff are friendly and helpful, adding to the overall feel of a neighborhood favorite. The wait after ordering was quite long - approximately 15-20 minutes. That said, if you're stopping in for lunch sandwiches, just a heads-up -- the serving sizes are on the smaller side. They're beautifully crafted and delicious, but if you're especially hungry or looking for a hearty midday meal, you might find yourself wanting just a bit more. Overall, Orwasher's delivers exceptional quality -- especially with their gluten-free bagels -- and the cozy, welcoming vibe keeps you coming back.

I was super excited to especially since I noticed that so many ppl had orders today and were walking around the city with the Billy Bakery's logo! Upon entering I noticed that had a variety of different cupcakes and was welcomed by their staff. I asked for her favorite and she recommended the lily buttercream cupcake! It traveled well in their signature cupcake box and i tried it out at home. Unfortunately I was left a bit disappointed and felt like the cupcake was way too oily/dense and not airy/fluffy like I love. Love the store, but their recipe is not hitting the mark when it comes to that specific cupcake. I can't speak for the rest!
