Charlotte Patisserie

Love it all! The passion fruit doughnut it’s incredible. Also a huge fan of their cloud cake.

Very tasty desserts, you just have to try it, we had cloud cake and dolce vita, the both are unforgettable!

We tried the Duet, Black current lemon, passion fruit orange and apple-pear tart. The flavors were spot on, with passion fruit orange being the favorite. The croissants are also delicious. Very glad to have this quality pastry dessert in Brooklyn!

Very cozy cafe. The seller is responsive, smiling and friendly. A large selection of portioned cakes and pastries. For my taste, there is little filling in an almond croissant, and the latte is strong. But this is just my opinion. And so-well.

What a wonderful cafe. Pastries look and taste delicious; coffee is great. It's not often I find a place that does both well. There is a pleasant amount of seating that I could see filling up during the morning, but it was mostly clear for a lunch-time respite. Would highly recommend based on the quality of the food/drink and the kind service!

Orange olive oil cake this is amazing. I hope you guys always have it. Everything i get in this place is great. The pistachio tongue, the macaroons, the passion fruit tart. This place is a hidden gem on court street. The workers are so friendly and the everything is so delicious. I advise to go here and get some items. You will not regret it.

Everything I've tried has been delicious - macarons, carrot cake, cheese danish, croissant. OMG the croissant...best I've ever had. (The desserts were much prettier, but we traveled 5+ hours with them.)

Cloud cake has been my most delightful dessert discovery of 2023. If you're having a bad day, a visit to Charlotte 's will surely bring sweet cheer

Great. I would recomend the crossant, macarons and iced black tea. Try sitting in the yard. Nice music inside. The staff is very nice!

This is slowly becoming my go-to spot to grab a sweet treat for birthdays in the neighborhood. The mini cakes, pastries, and tarts are all so beautiful and I like the mini sizes they offer. The mini tarts are ~$3 each while the mini cakes are ~$6-8 each. I also wanted to pick up some macarons, but they only had 2 flavors when I came in once. While the treats are gorgeous and delicate, the customer service felt short for me. I've been here twice so far and felt ignored by the same employee helping me. It didn't seem like she wanted to help and looked annoyed. I had to wait about 5 minutes for her to finish chatting with the other customer who seems to also be a friend. I would've appreciated an acknowledgement for me to wait when I walked in, but I just awkwardly waited while listening to their conversation since I had nothing else to do. Good thing this spot is a quick grab and go.

I was on my way to Cobble Hill cinema and had a little time to grab a coffee. It was @1pm and I hadn't eaten yet. It was a very cold and windy day and I needed coffee badly. I didn't know this patisserie was here and I decided to give it a go. Now, I really need to de- Starbucks myself when it comes to ordering macchiatos in other cafes. Magda, asked me several questions in regards to how I wanted it prepared. I'm embarrassed to say all I know is " grande, oat milk, 1 shot and light caramel drizzle extra foam". And this is me preordering on SB app. Take my phone away and I'm ... lost! Shameful, I know. Thus, my answer was 2%, 1 shot and 2 light pumps of caramel syrup. I forget this is being prepared in an espresso cup not Grande size. Thus, I took my macchiato and gluten free apple muffin to the marble bistro table and sat. And stared.. at my espresso cup. It just looked.. wrong. Not that it's Magda's fault but mine. One sip and I knew it was too strong and on the bitter side. I need a lesson on how to order in other coffee shops. The gluten free apple muffin was nice just needed a bit more apples. CP also has a location in Greenpoint where all the baking is done: meringues, tarts, tiramisu etc. Not surprised.. I told Magda my love of Peter Pan Donut and she said she used to live near it. I'll be back.. just need to study my espresso choices and then I'll know how to explain to Magda how I want it!

Beautiful looking pastries. Flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked for some of the fruit pastries but they were really perfect for a small event I hosted and the prices were not crazy. I would have paid double if it was Ladurée or another name brand shop.

This place is truly amazing! I'm obsessed with their desserts, especially the berry tarts and the black currant mini cake. Everything is so tasty and not too sweet. The service is also good, the people who work there are sweet.

Pecan tart is great! Passion fruit mousse is not bad but make sure you keep it refrigerated.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and bought a mini lemon meringue tart and passion fruit orange mousse cake. The staff member who helped me was really nice snd patient so I enjoyed the service. The lemon meringue tart was good, but I don't think I'd get it again. Nothing wrong, but it's pretty standard and just like lemon meringue anywhere else. The passionfruit orange mousse cake was great! The fluffy mousse and soft vanilla(?) cake were really nice together. It was tart but sweet at the same time. There was an orange jam in the middle which was a little bitter probably because it was blood orange. Not my favorite part, but I ate it anyways. I want to come back to try the other flavor mousse cakes they have as they also looked really nice and probably their red velvet and carrot cake as well.

Side note: Unsure if the owners read these reviews but: If you sell the raisin/prune meringue found in the Romantica alone, I'd happily buy a whole lot of them. Anyway this is a nice little pastry shop that happens to have another location in Greenpoint on Manhattan Avenue apparently. I have gotten two different pastries here; their Romantica and a daily tart. Romantica (7$.) Meringue cake with raisins, prunes with a coffee/rum buttercream. This was a very unique gluten-free dessert and it was massive. The meringue layers were amazing with a strong raisin and prune flavor and a wonderful texture (see above regarding buying them alone.) There is however another layer which consisted of said buttercream. The chilled buttercream had a good texture but I found it to be a little bit too bitter from the coffee. We honestly by the end were just having the remaining meringue from it but it was still definitely worth it. Daily tart (4.50$ I believe:) This was listed as an apple and almond tart so I assume the French term for this would be a frangipane. The pastry texture was again good and it wasn't overly sweet. Overall very good as well and I can see why a lot of people were getting it. Overall both pastries were very good. I can see the reason why the people in Greenpoint liked the place also. Nice mix of traditional French and more unique selections. Also good coffee to boot. Mid 4.

This review is only for the hot chocolate lol but omg I was IN LOVE with the hot chocolate here. I've been disappointed by too many hot chocolates from fancier bakeries/gelato shops but this one was the perfect level of richness and chocolate flavor without being too sweet. Size and price were reasonable too!

I'll be honest with you...we wanted to use their bench outside. It said "Customers Only," and I'm nothing if not a rule-following citizen (my many years of juvenile delinquency notwithstanding)...so I forced myself to buy some pastries. Oftentimes pastries this gorgeous cannot possibly taste as good as they look, but Charlotte Patisserie is the real deal. Their tiny tarts ARE a bit pricey, but the skill and flavor imbued into these miniature works of art are immense. I highly recommend picking up a few and feeling fancy for a while. Or for about 3 seconds, as I can certainly toss three into my mouth in that much time. The croissants are stellar, and I've been told the coffee is excellent, although I've never sampled it myself. In fact, the French girl behind the counter was ecstatic that I didn't want any coffee, as she seemed harried and was happy to simply put pastries in a box for me. The only thing I don't LOVE about Charlotte is the chocolate chip cookies. They're fine, but clearly not a specialty of the house, so I'd skip if I were you.

Love the hospitality here! We went end of day and ordered the Romantica GF. It was like a chocolate coffee merengue sandwich! So delicious!! It was $7 and so worth it lol. It was heavy and light at the same time. Excellent. We were also given a crescent and almond crescent. Both delicious and fresh flaky layers. The almond one is the best! Creamy center and excellent sliced almonds. Would definitely return here to try more!

Second time coming here. It's super cute and has the most delicious desserts! I got the cloud cake and it was super fluffy and dense at the same time. It comes with blueberries which complements well with the cream. Aside from desserts, they also have coffee and soft-serve ice cream (not your avg flavors).

Delicious croissants. Friendly service. Heard the woman working describe the donuts as also being made from the croissant dough, though I don't try one. Everything in the case looked delicious. I'll be back to try more.

We got the BLT sandwich with fries. Live how crispy the fries were. The sandwich was delicious, however the bacon was just a bit TOO tough and was a little difficult to enjoy without separating it. We also got a few pastries and they were delicious. There is a lot of seating as well as a back patio so I wouldn't worry about not finding a spot. Also, two restrooms of decent size and an overall clean vibe of the entire place makes it a very enjoyable chill spot. Saw some people doing work so there's that too. The workers were very kind and attentive. Nothing much more to write about there.

Last weekend, when my wallet had just been lost/stolen and my phone was running out of battery, I stopped in, explained the situation, and asked if I could borrow a phone charger. The woman who was working at the counter let me charge my phone until closing time. When I went to the counter to return the phone charger, she generously gave me pastries to take with me, and they were delicious! I will never forget the kindness I experienced on a difficult day, and I can't wait to come back and patronize this business!

So happy to come across this delightful Patisserie! The staff were nice and helpful in recommending the cloud cake which I was was going to choose anyway because I love raspberries. It also had merengue which was very light and flaky. They only have this cake during the weekend and I definitely recommend it! I also had a donut/cronut that had a cream filling and was absolutely divine. I would love to eat one of these everyday. Also a worthy to mention that the chai latte actually tasted great! I look forward to coming back and trying everything else!

Quality, delicious pastries made from scratch and served by knowledgeable, friendly staff! I crave a specific few of their pastries but everything I've tried there has been well made & too notch!

We picked up a Cronut with passion fruit glaze on top and cream inside. Reminded me of a crème brûlée. They had a lot of interesting pastries. I think I'd like to try the pistachio tongue next time.

The pastries are to die for!! The ladies are extremely friendly and knowledgable. There are tables inside, and while the ambiance in back is a bit sterile, it's clean and tidy.

I walked into this bakery thinking it was new to the neighborhood since everything inside looked so clean and new like. Turns out the place has been there for over 5 years which meant that the store is just very well run and clean. Everything in the display case looked amazing and I had a hard time deciding, but the friendly staff recommended the cheese danish which was absolutely delicious. I thought it was going to be heavy and dense, but the dough was actually quite light and not too sweet. It kind of reminded me of a kolache rather than a traditional French danish. It was inhaled within minutes after I left the store and I'll definitely be back to try other things.

one of my favorite bakeries, with amazing drinks and sweets. its a great place to go if you want a calm and clean atmosphere

My favorite bakery. The best pastries and coffee. Amazing cakes and sandwiches. The best croissants in NYC

The first word that came to mind when I walked in was PRISTINE; everything is so incredibly neat and clean!! How do they do it?! Lol Not one crumb out of place, it was almost intimidating, but the lady behind the counter was so nice that I immediately felt warmly welcomed. The next word that came to mind was BEAUTIFUL; each and every pastry/cake was an absolute work of art! I joked with the lady saying I'm not sure if I should eat it or frame it for display it's so pretty!! Lol We got a Ginger cake with cinnamon and mocha (?) mousse. We also got a Red Velvet cake, Raspberry tart and Passion Fruit tart. Everything was a small personal size, I'd say the cakes were slightly smaller than the average $7-$8 slice you get at other bakeries, but also less expensive at around $5-$6. The other word that came to mind as we tasted our choices was DELICIOUS! Everything was just medium sweet which I loved! The tarts were so delicate and fresh and the ginger cake was so unique and flavorful. Even though the Red Velvet cake wasn't too good, IMPRESSED was still the final word that I thought of when we were done. I was initially skeptical because it looked almost too perfect, but I'm so happy I gave this place a try. The great desserts and friendly service sealed the deal; the lady even gave my 6 yr old a complimentary Almond Croissant that was so good we all shared it! Lol

The place is absolutely gorgeous and super clean. They are open and have been open during this pandemic. The pastries are delicious and the coffee would definitely be one of the many reasons to come back. I highly recommend coming here especially if you need to bring someone pastries they pack it beautifully and they were so yummy. Definitely get the raspberry chocolate cake or eclair.

The shop is cute and conveniently located. The service is friendly and fine enough. I came in and purchased a pack of macarons, of all assorted flavors....but the truth is, they were extremely bland. The fillings were too soft but they were also nearly flavorless. The outer almond based shells were also nearly flavorless. I think having L'aduree has ruined me because their macarons are generally incredible.

I had the lemon merengue tart which was $2.50 and the blueberry tart which was $3.50. Both were beautiful as were the rest of the pastries. The lemon was tart and refreshing and the blueberry was refreshing and fruity. Both delicious and the handiwork of the pastries is great. The inside is small and not many tables.

Beautiful pastries, lovely croissants and cookies. Truly - the patisserie is a treat itself. Good coffee too. Great way to start your day.

Excellent patisserie a few minutes walk from the Bergen Street F subway station. There are a few small tables where you can sit inside with a companion, and a bench outside facing the street. It's clean with lots of natural light, much more pleasant that the place a block away. The espresso coffees are expertly made, with several non dairy milk options. There's also tea of various kinds, and they have a loyalty punch card for drinks. If you want something savory, there's usually a vegetarian quiche, and sandwiches. The real star here is the sweet food! They have lots of beautiful cakes, which seem to rotate on a weekly basis? Either that or I just happen to have noticed carrot cake every Monday and no other day... There are also individual portion versions of the cakes, donuts, petit fours, muffins, pastries, etc. some things are kept in the fridge, so if you don't see what you want behind the counter, just ask! Super friendly services, and every barista is really good, so drinks are reliable here. Pay cash or card. Gender neutral restroom.

The two ladies were sweet and attentive. The chai latte... absolutely delectable as well as the raspberry creme brûlée. 10/10 would recommend for a sweet spot. Not as pricey as I was expecting either

Beautiful patisserie with and EXCELLENT cup of coffee! Can't wait to try the macarons, cinnamon rolls, tarts, cakes, creme brûlée...basically I can't wait to try everything.

My first time trying their baked goods. So fresh and delicious. Great customer service. Looking forward to bring my whole family there for some deserts and coffee. .

Delicious and unique carrot cake with lemony flavor - not too cloyingly sweet or cream cheesy. Also the quiche was delicious and a good serving. Counter woman was pleasant.

This bakery is absolutely incredible, if you're in the Cobble hill area you cannot go wrong here!! They are so sweet and their croissants are the best me and my boyfriend have ever had. I recommend the macaroons or the fresh fruit tarts, but truly everything we've had there is to die for!!!

Excellent Pastries and stellar coffee. Café mocha's made with a special chocolate. Spectacular service, friendly staff, and very consistent products. Recommendation is - an excellent place to visit on a daily.

One of my absolute favorite spots, let alone bakeries, in Cobble Hill. The tarts are delicious, the cakes are great, I've never been disappointed. There is always something new and interesting to try so it's a part of my weekend routine at this point. As an added bonus the woman who works there is so pleasant and kind it really elevates the whole experience. Will most certainly come back again and again!

Let's be real, this neighborhood is saturated with cute coffee shops. And yet....I'm always drawn to the newest and most enticing display. Charlotte Patisserie won me over from across the street. It was rainy, I had a whiny toddler, and I haven't had my coffee yet. Charlotte did not disappoint. Their chocolate croissants were just the right amount of fluffy and the space was so cute and cheerful I didn't want to leave (but had to before my 3 year old demanded every pastry in the store).

got a plain croissant and it reminded me of the ones at Costco. I actually consider this the highest of compliments but TBD how much is due to nostalgia vs actual taste shop is cute too

There are so many amazing dessert shops in the neighborhood that this spot didn't cross my radar but I happened to pass by last week in the morning and had their berry cheese danish. It was SO delicious. Still warm and soft. My husband got the ham and cheese croissant and was equally impressed. Friendly staff and also a restroom for customers. Will be back!

Ever since I came back from Paris, I've been craving for a chocolate croissant. Nothing will beat Paris but the ones they have comes close. Sometimes, I've come after 5pm and they may have a sale going for their baked goods. I also enjoy their macaroons and their chocolate mousse cake! It's really delicious!

I've come here several times for the eclairs and tarts. Super yummy! I've had maybe one bad experience where they didn't seem really interested (rude) in answering my questions about what was inside some of the items, but I usually have a good experience.

I love this place! Prices are reasonable and there's great seating. My go to is the omelet and chocolate croissant. Tip: the coffee is not free refills.

So. I really wanted to like this place. I wanted my cousin's cakes to be perfect. It was anything but... It was a sunny day in Brooklyn. A perfect day for an Opera cake and a passion fruit orange cake. And also, a birthday. New York had just undergone three Nor'easters in three weeks. We were all traumatized at this point. This birthday party was supposed to pull us out of this funk. Thanks to these cakes, this did not happen. I had called the Cobble Hill location a few days earlier to order these cakes. The guy picked up and said, "One moment, please," and he proceeded to take someone else's order WHILE I WAS ON THE LINE. (It was a small coffee, two sugars, no milk.) Once he got back on the line he told me he couldn't take my order and I had to call the Greenpoint location - which he apparently couldn't tell me before taking the other person's order. Fine. I'm nearing the end of my lunch hour, but fine. I called the other location. We asked them to make cakes spell out "Happy Birthday" with "22" underneath, spread across both cakes. The lady seemed to understand and did not ask me to clarify so I assumed I would be getting the cakes we ordered with the script I specified. I suppose that's my mistake. I assumed. Wrongly. Fast forward to today. The sun was shining. We had just finished a nice movie. It was a balmy 50°. It was the nicest it had been in New York in a long time. The shopgirl opened the cake boxes. The cakes only had "Happy Birthday", no "22". I asked if they could add a name. Nope. They don't do that there. Did they have candles? Nope (We were kindly substituted with a plastic Happy Birthday sign even though we already had Happy Birthday on the cakes. Twice. Contrary to my instructions.). She gave me a knife when I asked, but not the kind for cutting cakes - it was small like the kind for takeout and it also came with a fork and spoon. I suppose if I was going to eat the entirety of these two cakes by myself this knife would prove useful. I was not. The total came out to $52 - strange, I thought. Wasn't the Opera cake $25? The girl insisted it was $27 because it was a larger cake. I glanced at the box that the Opera cake was in, which did indeed look bigger so I took her at her word. She was so nice. Nice shopgirls can't possibly be scamming me. (To be clear, I am not upset about a $27 cake. It's the principle of paying $27 for a $25 cake that was not actually bigger, nor tastier, nor in any other way better than the other cake and presumably other people only pay $25 for the same cake I bought.). I come home. I check the website. $25 for a six inch Opera cake. I check the cakes. They're the same diameter (see attached photos). On second thought, maybe I am being charged for the larger box! Or the extra 7.7 square inches that comes from a square cake vs. a circular cake. Look ma, I just did some middle school math that I refused to do in middle school to figure out the difference between a 6 inch square and a 6 inch circle. This is what these cakes have done to me. I taste them at the party. They were okay - nothing to write home about and certainly not worth me trekking out into the bougie wilds of Brooklyn. The passion fruit orange cake was slightly better than the Opera cake (which, as we know, I paid extra for). The former was somewhat moist and had a nice flavor. The latter was simultaneously dry and cloying. Hazelnut flavor? Negligible. Coffee flavor? The merest hint of it. To no one's surprise, no one finished their Opera cake slices. If it was only one or two of these issues, this review might have been four or even five stars. As all of these issues compounded on top of each other, I regretfully give Charlotte Patisserie 1 star. Pity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I "was" going here on a daily basis for a few months but I started to see disappointing changes. Pro: -friendly staff -good coffee -clean environment -really good pastries at a reasonable price -repeat customers Con: -sometimes no basic supplies (toilet paper, hand towels, or sugar) -the newest male employee once was wearing a rag on his head and taking personal calls, very, very unbecoming of a French pastry shop and maybe more suitable for a barbershop. He also licks his fingers before opening the bag and inserting YOUR pastry. Not many other places like it in the area but that should not stop you from exploring. Over all, good place to stop and have a coffee or pastry, if you bring your own sugar, toilet paper, and napkins and if you don't mind the guy licking his fingers and touching your pastry. Bon appétit!

Cute spot, but not a lot of seating. The pastry selection isn't as wide as the original location in Williamsburg, nor as fresh. The coffee drinks are pretty standard but they're not foamed correctly. The almond croissant was a little skimpy with the filling, and the little cakes are kind of gel-y and spongey, but that Cloud Cake is amazing. Fresh, seasonal berries wrapped in mascarpone and topped with meringue. This, I would totally recommend!

I've only been to this new and unusual bakery--some of their creations are fanciful, straight from a foodie magazine photoshoot pretty--once but I've already picked a favorite: the cloud cake. This beautiful square slice of heaven is rich in flavor (think cotton-soft cheesecake) but light and fluffy too. Much more sweet than I usually prefer but it's so wonderfully complex between the crispy meringue texture of the topping to the buttery and lavishly soft layers that melt in my mouth, I can't help but love it. I forgot all about the layer of strawberries when I was devouring it. I have a long list of must-tries for my next visit to Charlotte Patisserie, including a wonderful looking blueberry cake that reminded me of a tim burton film. Fanciful with a hint of beautiful darkness. The only draw back to this bakery was the number of flies (I counted one, possibly two) and a display case that wasn't enclosed on the cashier's side.

Just stopped by this place while wandering outside with my friend. The interior design looked really pretty and atheistically pleasing so I had to stop in. We ordered The Dream, which was a hazelnut mousse cake with passionfruit glaze and some passionfruit filling inside. It was a little pricey for the price ($6) and honestly wasn't very flavorful. The flavors were both there (exactly like how the person at the counter explained it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. However, it is a very light dessert that isn't very sweet if that's what you're into. The people at the front counter also weren't very friendly. I haven't gotten anything else here, but if there's a must recommend pastry here, I would give it another shot. Overall not a bad place, just expensive and in my opinion, not worth the money.

My friend and I stopped in after seeing a a grand opening sign outside. We enjoyed the quaint lovely bakery. Cappuccino was delicious, staff are super friendly but what shines are the baked goods. We ordered a carrot cake and I had the passion fruit and orange pastry. I've been searching for something just like it for years. So glad to see this new addition to the neighborhood. I wish I wasn't full of dinner cause I couldn't finish the entire thing I had to take some home to enjoy later :)

The best three words to describe Charlotte Patisserie are cute, quaint, and bright. If your head's up in the clouds, grab some of this Cloud Cake as you grasp for your dreams! There's certainly something dreamy about this puffy, comforting Cloud Cake with strawberries and meringue. The coffee here is pretty good, too, and as time goes on, I'm sure the staff will perfect its espresso execution. While seating is limited, I think that adds to the charm of this spot. The bright interior is especially welcoming.

I've passed by this patisserie a few times on the way to Trader Joe's. From the outside, the pastries/tarts look wonderful. I finally went in one day and got a raisin roll for my daughter, an almond croissant and a cloud cake with strawberry slices for myself. I didn't get to try the raisin roll. But the almond croissant and cloud cake were beyond disappointing. The pastry on the almond croissant was dry with almost no texture or taste of butter. The almond paste was such a small smear inside that I almost didn't see it. The paste just tasted sweet without real almond flavor. The cloud cake was awful. The meringue was hard and just tasted like sugar. The creamy component tasted like bad dairy with bad quality sugar. I couldn't believe this was it. I took a bite then told my husband to eat the rest. He took a bite then said he can't. The lady behind the counter said once you try the cake, you'll want more. I 100% don't want more.

I love this cafe in my neighborhood. The pastries are delicious and I loved their gluten free muffin. The staff is extremely kind, and it was a great place to have coffee while doing my work with laptop
