Cannelle Patisserie

By the busyness of the place, it is obviously a local favorite. The small seating area was congested and a bit more intimate than I liked. I did not eat-in. The service was dry- not friendly, but they worked efficiently. I came in to try they opulent chocolate croissant. The pastry looked amazing with its puffy and glossy crust with chocolate that had slightly oozing and dried on the borders of the croissant. Everything about this croissant fell short of my expectations!! It was stale- hard and dry! The chocolate peek-a-booed in the corners only and was nonexistent inside the croissant! Super deceiving at $ 3.75 a piece. All three were the same! I'll drive pass this bakery, next time.

One of the best pan bagnat (tuna sandwich) I’ve had in a while, the bread was so soft and delicious. Love good quality bread ! I also took a hot latte and it was perfect. This is one of my favorite French bakeries in the city — they have 2 locations and both offer top quality pastries.

＊Espresso 31 Decorated with silky espresso ganache, this cute little dome consisted of layers of sponge cake and milk chocolate mousse. When you cut the cake, some chocolate balls will ooze out of the center, giving it a crunchy texture. I bought a 4’ whole espresso cake ($24 only wow!) from them last time, and I could easily finish two slices in one sitting. Strongly recommend buying birthday cakes from them, it will certainly impress your guests. ＊Fraisier A classic French cake combining buttery sponge layers and butter cream. It was loaded with a hearty amount of fresh strawberries. Utterly decadent with its light and fluffy sponge cakes. ＊Brownie Not a fan of brownie, but it was quite fudge and infused with the richness of chocolate flavors.

Amazing french bakery in a quiet spot of LIC. They have really wide choices of both sweet and savoury pastry. Very authentic quality, the pastry just the right balance of ingredients, not excessively sugary. The coffee is fantastic.

I have never seen a canele like this, and the passion guava pastry isn’t even fully cooked. This is such a disappointing experience.

Happy that there’s a French bakery nearby. I tried their Palmier and passion fruit flan this afternoon. The palmier was buttery, flaky, coated with crispy caramel - a really great pastry. For me, the passion fruit flan custard was a bit more like jelly instead of creamy texture. Both of them were tasty and the waitresses were friendly.

I have visited this cafe six times in the past two years and I’ve always been either too early or too late for the canelles. I was never the greatest fan of the dessert so I didn’t mind missing it but I enjoyed the quest nonetheless. Today as I passed by, I stopped dead in my tracks. I couldn’t believe they had rows and rows of canelles at 3pm! And now I understand why they sell out! These little darlings are complex and delightful. Sugary and crispy on the outside whilst soft and pudding-like on the inside- its an absolute dream (and a challenging feat indeed). I am grateful and honored to have experienced this wonderful delight. A true treat indeed 🔥

Great store, the food was incredible. I really enjoyed the breakfast sandwiches. The store was super clean and extremely busy. Its a really popular store in Long Island City. I recommend going there for breakfast when you can. I must say that because it was a little busy and fast going, some of the servers behind the counter didn’t really have the best attitude or welcoming gesture. She rushed me and my sister as we were trying to order and decide. We asked a few questions, and they the server seemed annoyed, probably had a bad day. Other than that, my experience there was pretty good. If you’re looking for parking, I’d search the surrounding blocks, I’m not entire sure what it’ll be like around the store.
