Café Bilboquet

For an $8 flat white, $7 hot chocolate, $15 opera cake, and a $15 lemon tart, I would have expected table service and real dishes. But we were tired from walking and needed a break so we came in without reading the reviews. Yes, it's French. Yes, you're paying for the name attached to the food. But it did not feel worth the price. It was very, very busy so all the tables were occupied or dirty. There were forks on the floor. Yet during a brief lull, one staff member had time to remove a plastic heart from the door instead of cleaning the empty tables. And I was given my desserts on paper plates with plastic forks, and my coffee in paper cups. Not worth $45.

One of the young lady staff with glasses on took my order and a little rude chatting and laughing while getting my order. So unprofessional. Food is of course over priced for what it is can’t really complain about the price.

A gem in New York! I can’t recommend this café enough, especially because I was lucky to be served in Spanish by a very friendly guy who made the experience even more welcoming. I tried the vanilla latte, and honestly, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had – the perfect balance of creaminess and flavor. Plus, the dessert was divine, a perfect complement to the drink. I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for such special service and for making me feel at home!

Great spot for coffee, sandwiches and people watching. Gets too crowded at times around lunch so hard to find a place to sit. But well worth the wait. When busy, drinks are slow to arrive. Probably need to add staff. We had Tuna brioche and chicken baguette along with coffee. Wonderful!

Beautiful cafe with alcoves and luxurious velvet seating. The array of breakfast treats were of a wide variety (savory and sweet). The display case is enough to make your mouth water. We saw people indulge because of the attractive offerings. We had an orange brioche and chausson aux pommes. Very tasty. A little too sweet for me but I’ve been avoiding sugar these days.

10/10 honestly. Serge was awesome, very welcoming staff and environment. It is hard to find this kind of vintage cafe with such a great customer service. Came for a coffee, ended up having a pastry (or two) afterwards. My new favorite place . 😍

Great place for coffee, a variety of pasties and desserts. Enjoyed having a cup of coffee and people watching.

Early morning around 7.45 am Stop by because of inside cafe is pretty. But a bit disappointed when I order just regular brew but coffee is not ready to serve so I got americano instead.
