La Mercerie

The 10 Best Cookies in NYC

"If we had to strike all other chocolate chip cookies from the record and keep just one, it would be La Mercerie's. This cookie is thick but not too thick, gooey but still properly baked, with big discs of semi-sweet chocolate throughout. The middle is soft, the edges are crisp, and there’s a generous dusting of flaky salt on top. The Maillard reaction is really doing its work to make this cookie taste a little caramelized without relying too much on an abundance of sugar. It’s perfect." - carina finn koeppicus, neha talreja

A Perfect Day in SoHo, New York | Condé Nast Traveler

"I float into La Mercerie, a café nestled within Roman and Williams Guild, ordering a tartine or a golden-crusted croissant (and sometimes the Charlotte Aux Fraises) while basking in sunbeams across velvet chairs and vases of anemones; it feels less like brunch and more like a scene from a French film where no one ever checks their phone." - Paris Wilson

"This hot spot is surely an essential SOHO experience, set in an opulent emporium by noted interior design firm Roman and Williams. Especially at lunch, the room basks in its own beauty and in the beauty of the well-heeled patrons who huddle around tiny tables adorned with delicate blooms. The open kitchen, too, is a sight unto itself with sage-green tiles and gleaming cookware. It all feels very chic and very French, accented by a menu that delivers in careful indulgence. Chicken consommé with foie gras is a delicious study in contrasts, while cod steamed in a donabe with grain mustard, leeks, and potatoes offers both sophistication and richness. A wealth of classic desserts like profiteroles, tarte tatin, and crème brûlée taste of sweet nostalgia." - Michelin Inspector

18 Brunch Spots For Special Occasions - New York - The Infatuation

"When you want to feel royal for the day, there’s no better place to pretend you live in palatial fake France than La Mercerie. This space is stunning, and you can either stay for a long brunch or just hang out feeling glamorous while you enjoy a warm-from-the-oven pain au chocolat and a perfect latte. If you’re feeling something more on the savory side, the buckwheat crêpe complète is a must. Even things that sound kind of plain, like a warm rice porridge, are wonderful here." - team infatuation
