Frenchette Bakery

"Much like the feted, and missed, City Bakery hot chocolate in profile, Frenchette’s 64 percent dark chocolate drink has the requisite hunk of marshmallow, but blends green chartreuse liquor inside for a subtle but surprising herbal note. Medium-bodied, with a bold dash of salt, this pricier hot chocolate is worth a stop at Frenchette’s Tribeca bakery or Whitney Museum outpost." - John Tsung

"This Tribeca bakery offshoot of the hit restaurant Frenchette will serve a classic selection of pies around Thanksgiving, including apple, pecan, and pumpkin pies ($60.)  Honoring the classics, Frenchette’s three pies adhere closely to tradition, while finding refinement in the details, such as the addition of cognac, rather than bourbon, in the pecan pie.  All pies are available for pre-order, with pickup on Tuesday November 26, Wednesday November 27, or Thursday November 28 by noon." - Eater Staff, John Tsung

"This ambitious bakery — an offshoot of the restaurant Frenchette — curiously occupies one side of a commercial building lobby. The breads and pastries are top-notch, including the expected croissants in many permutations, sourdough loaves, caneles, gougeres, chocolate chip cookies, on and on. Oddities abound, including a puff pastry in which an egg and mortadella are implanted. Much of it is now available at the Whitney Museum location." - Robert Sietsema

"Unsurprisingly, the bakery from one of the best French restaurants in New York makes perfect croissants. Their plain one has a little bit of everything: it tastes like butter, has a nice chew, and also just enough flake that someone will know you recently ate a croissant. They’re not overwhelmingly large, so consider ordering the pistachio one too. Frenchette Bakery has a second location at The Whitney with a whole daytime menu as well." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman

"Tucked inside an office building, Arcade Bakery is one of Tribeca's greatest hidden gems. Offering fresh bread, tasty croissants, and their famous “Laminated Baguette”, this French bakery is a one-stop-shop for satisfying your carb cravings." - The Charles
