Ladurée

The hype is worth it 🤩 Came here to get a unique cake for my parent's anniversary & ended up buying a set of macarons as well. The colors, the palate, the taste, the presentation & the ambiance, everything is on point. A long line of wait, but you won't regret it. My eyes were set on the macaroon tower cake, but I didn't see it on the menu, maybe next time.

I usually go to this place for coffee , pastries and macarons. But look at what I saw today. Can’t believe this with my eyes. A plastic in the pastry??? I paid $12 for a pastry and this should not be the quality. Kind of disappointed. But flavor is 10/10 as always. Please do better!!

Delicious!!!! I dont know the names the desserts we ordered but the taste is extraordinary. Especially if you are craving for dessert that is not to sweet this is the place. Highly recommend it.

Did not eat macarons today... as available in Time Warner, etc. Parisienne Croissant good. Capuccino nice. Small but nice seating area. Hope they can heat up Croissants though.

I know that NYc is famous for his cheese cake but don't be surprised to find yourself in the middle of Paris here- except staff here is more polite than in Paris 😎 oh, i almost forgot to mention the Word best macarons

Sweet & lovely! Only issue was no WC, so we bought something to go I setad of being able to sit down for a more lavish experience.

Always a luxurious delicious experience. Mother's Day mad yummy. Brought home some jams, macarons and a pastry.

Came here because of Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf and the macarons I tasted in Paris. Such a delight! Beautiful interior and the gift boxes are so color- & flavorful, got the Versailles one for loved ones.

I mean ladurée never misses no matter what location you go to all around the world. Their macrons are still just my favorite macrons I've ever had especially their framboise and salted caramel. We try different macrons at other places and they just don't seem to be as favorable to us as these here! Also the staff is always wonderful at this location!

This was a cute bakery in upper east side with a few tables on the side. Took a while for someone to take our order and I couldn't get their attention when I wanted an additional item unfortunately. Everything looked delicious but we only got a pistachio Eugenie for a sweet. I liked the three different textures in the small biscuit cookie, but I didn't like the vanilla flavor at the bottom as much. The pistachio itself was great though. The quiche was pretty hearty, but it didn't stand out from a typical quiche. I would come back for their famous macarons next time.

Gorgeous little French cafe right on UES. The decor the savories and the whole experience is awesome. Seating is limited, but it is nice to relax for coffee or tea and catch up with friends. Their desserts are simply another experience. The chocolates, the Macaroons were rich and flavorful. I wanted to try their tea as well, which is all a blend of different flavors and they carry their own brand. Try this place if you are in that area.

Recently visited this bakery in New York ... Very near to Central Park and has several locations Ladurée is a famous French luxury bakery and tea room known for its macarons, high tea, and elegant decor. Ladurée offers a wide range of unique classic and seasonal macaron flavors

Wow, what an amazing little shop. Not only were the treats exploding with flavor and so delicious. They weren't too sweet, but they just had such good flavor! The service was outstanding, and the line moved pretty quick as well. Coffee was good too! Such a cool inside & great ambience! Super friendly staff!

Mandatory stop every time I go to a city that has it. Who doesn't love this beautiful french shop? It was a line but moved pretty quickly. They have other things than just macarons like croissants, pound cake and small desserts. I bought macarons and tried some Eugénie (cookie with a creamy filling coated in chocolate). Loved them. If you haven't try them, do it!!! My favorite flavor is Marie Antoniette. I noted the macarons were more blue than before. Maybe that changed over the years but the pale blue was more sophisticated in my opinion. Boxes are so pretty but if you want to save some money, get them in a paper bag instead.

Well we're movin' on up, to the east side. Yes, find myself somewhere on Madison Ave!! riding high.. with my pinky in the sky and a chip chip cherio cheerio.. only wish I had a top hat!! Ladurée So, on a special request I find myself at this establishment...normally I'm not a macaron type person, but for the enjoyment of others, why not... if it makes you happy ... I'm happy!! Very charming ... I might say... not ample seating thou... but we did find a spot after a gentleman offered, after he was finished... The delectables.. I'll only comment on the one I had, the pistachio macaron crunchy, creamy, and very sweet!! only one that I allowed myself.. being diabetic... yes... try not to do sweets but it was very good!! In end.. treat those that are special to you.. hopefully they appreciate it!! ... but honestly I'll stick to my Oreos!!!

Very cute, upscale dessert cafe right next to Central Park. I tried the vanilla eclair and the salted caramel macaron. Definitely high quality desserts, perfect macaron crunch and chewiness. Vanilla eclair was amazing- almost want to say it was better than the macarons. A little sweet though, so definitely would not be able to finish the entire thing on my own. A small shop that can get a little crowded at times, so there may be a line and limited seating indoors.

I LOVE LAUDREE MACARONS. They are the best on the planet. I love to get them in France, but when I am in a US city that happens to have a Laudree store, I have to go. The woman who helped me was spectacular. I bought several boxes of macarons for myself and gifts. She helped me choose options. She helped me select and then packed the boxes. Everything was perfectly done and the macarons of course are delicous.

Earlier today after a scented event at an Upper East Side parfumerie, I was hungry for lunch. Ladurée was nearby so I ate there. The Parisian Croissant was packed with sliced ham and salad and looked appetizing and was reasonably priced. A macchiato paired nicely with it. I sat at a small round table and it took me a while to eat. The Eugenie is a new offering from Ladurée which began in Paris last year and is now stateside. It has textures of crispy crunch and a creamy center in flavors of pistachio, rose, chocolate and caramel to name a few. I bought five to enjoy at home. Service was quick with a few people behind the counter and a few tables filled with customers to the side of the cafe. Everyone was sitting leisurely and there was no time limit. Outdoor seating was filled as the day was pleasant and the sun was shining. I did not notice if there was a restroom here.

Our pedicab driver brought us here and we went back to get more macaroons. Every one of them we tried were great. Very proper bakery and French vibe.

This place does not disappoint! Pros: + Gorgeous macaroons + Beautiful location - it's felt like a mini vacation + Available not Too Good To Go too if you're ever interested in checking this out, but don't want to shell a ton of money. +Plenty of street parking Cons: - Pricey, but worth it for a splurge IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

One if my favorite spots in Paris and love coming here for a little treat. It's nice to be able to seat and sip on a coffee and enjoy macaroons. They have different boxes that you can select your favorite flavors of macaroons to go. Service is friendly. Ambiance is welcoming. Love !

The shop is adorable with not too much seating and the dessert out for show. Service was quite slow even though the shop wasn't busy. It seemed like you were a bother to the employees and they weren't helpful when I asked about what products were left. The ispahan was delicious and quite sweet. However, the rose definitely overpowered the raspberry. The vanilla was okay. I'm not sure if it was old but the cream was quite hard and it was difficult to eat. We ended up throwing out the pastry. I was quite disappointed and looking forward to tasting France. Not sure if it was the location but I will not be returning.

What a lovely store front with a beautiful window display of their beautiful boxes and cakes. I came here for a snack with my female friends. While there is limited sitting inside, we were able to grab a seat outside and try some of these lovely macarons. We ordered an array of macarons: vanilla, orange, strawberry, pistachio , and chocolate. They were all crunchy and chewy as they are supposed to be. Not overly sweet and just gorgeous to look at and even better tasting, my favorite was chocolate. It even had coconut chunks in the filling.

Excellent service at 8.00 am this Saturday 11/16 by Pascale and Valery Very professional and so friendly The croissants and the quiche were delicious The hot chocolate divine. We absolutely love this place We enjoye so much Laduree for the past 30 years This place is A GEM

LOVE this place! Went in last week and to my surprise they have a Bridgerton theme which was so fun! Always enjoy their incredible macarons and was able to try a slice of their rose pound cake! Everyone was so friendly! Next time I'm in NYC I'll be back!

Stopped by quickly on a Monday afternoon for a sweet treat. There was a little line to order, but there were multiple people working so it moved quickly. The shop is very French patisserie ambiance as expected. It was well decorated. I ordered 4 macarons to try. I got the raspberry, salted caramel, earl grey & pistachio. The raspberry one was my favorite as it was filled with jam that balanced the sweet macaron cookie. I wish there was one closer to home for me to try more items

My husband brings this little box home every once in a while, with sweet macarons, that he takes the time to choose the perfect flavours, just for me, to enjoy. I'll be honest.... I love all the flavours -quite literally he couldn't go wrong with the choice of options if he tried. The orange blossom, Marie Antoinette, chocolate and the rose to name just a couple but the he knows, the rose is my favourite. Are they expensive? yes they are, and that is why they are such a treat when I get them. Treat yourself to one, even IF it is--- just one--- walk in, order a flavour you think you'll like and buy it, enjoy this delicious decadent little bit of heaven. You deserve it!

Very cute and delicate. This location is walkable from everything on 5th Avenue, and is right next door to the famous Ralph's Coffee. I enjoyed exploring this area a lot! The macarons were good. They were a little too chewy for my taste, lacking the freshness you'd desire for a French macaron, but the flavors were very nice. My favorite was the passion fruit, followed by the almond, then pistachio.

We had just had drinks & pastries at nearby Ralph's Coffee so sitting down to savor Ladurée's offerings, even though I've aways want to, was out of the question. Instead I took home a box of six, & devoured $23 worth of elegant deliciousness in mere minutes later on that night. My half dozen macaron order here is predictable: pistachio, salted caramel, coffee, passionfruit, raspberry, & rose. Once in a blue moon, I might go wild & treat myself to a different flavor like lemon or blackcurrant, but those aforementioned six are my starting lineup. Ladurée macarons are consistently great in quality, taste, & freshness. Service, on the other hand, is inconsistent; I always buy several boxes, & even when there isn't a line behind me, I've encountered staff members who seem exasperated at the amount I'm ordering.

This is a good pleasant place to stop by and sit for a good treat . It's clean good service and organized. The drinks were well made and the sweet treats were delicious!

This is a must try. Laduree Macarons are the best. If you haven't tried their macarons try them soon. There are many flavors to taste. The pistachio and the vanilla are absolutely delicious.

Service here sucks and the lady who was there kept rushing us and was not helpful. The macarons itself were good in terms of texture, chewiness and delicacy, however the flavors were gross. It was too artificial and overpowering. It was like eating perfume. On top of that, the flavors did not depict what it was supposed to be. Such a shame because the texture was good!!

This is my favorite cafe to visit in Manhattan. I'm obsessed with the mini chocolate croissants and pistachio macarons, the quality is definitely worth the price.

Anytime I venture to New York, I make sure that I stop by Laudree. The service is wonderful and you're greeted with a warm welcome at the counter. The macaroons and pastries are immaculate. The Madison Avenue location has a tiny sitting area, but the ambiance of the interior makes up for it. You feel like you've been transported to a beautiful patisserie in Paris. I ordered the fir tree, pistachio, orange blossom, blackcurrant violet, Marie Antoinette tea, and passion fruit macaroons. Each of them were powered with flavor and absolutely scrumptious! I also ordered a rose latte with oat milk, which was pretty tasty.

This review is specifically for the cart at Columbus circle. The macaroon I had was pretty good. It's $3 each. I only got one because I only had a little craving for something sweet. The macaroon was very rich and moist.

I visited this location a few weeks ago for some macaroons and hot chocolate. It isn't as large as the Soho location and only has a few seats, but still charming! The hot chocolate was so rich and delicious. However, the special seasonal macaroon flavors are what really stole the show. The chocolate gingerbread, chestnut, and holiday flavors were all delicious. Normally I'd go for one of their classic flavors, but loved these specialty options. Definitely get them before the holiday season is over!

Laduree is such a cute store, with their beautiful decorations and pretty pastel colors filling the entire store. It is one of my favorite shops for picking up a nice treat. I went on Valentine's Day to pick up some macarons and there was a huge line circling inside the store. By 3pm, they'd already sold out of most of the macaron flavors. Lesson learned--don't do last minute shopping for Valentine's Day or any holiday for that matter in the city. They unfortunately only had 4 flavors left, so I got 3 of them: - Framboise (raspberry) - Chocolat (chocolate) - Marie Antoinette (black tea, citrus, honey) Framboise is still my favorite, with its fruity, raspberry flavor. I wasn't a fan of the blue Marie Antoinette macaron coloring, but it was surprisingly delightful. I'd still prefer it to be pink, though. Hopefully, next time, they'll be fully stocked again so I can try more flavors.

Coffee cup chaos.... The quality of these cups are soooo bad. Can you guys please make a better quality cup to keep up with your high standards...

This space was beautiful! My friends and I came in the morning for chocolate croissants and macarons. Everyone agreed these were some of the best macarons we have had. They were soft and pillowy. I also got a palmier while I was there and really wished I had gotten so many more to take home after trying it. It was flaky and just the right amount of sweetness. There were limited seating inside and it seemed like most people were there to get their food and drinks to go.

It's not Paris, but it's close. You can't ignore Ladurée when you walk past it. People might find macarons expensive, but there is so much to making them, that it's completely worth it. They go the simple route with their flavors and presentation, and dress up the store with its beautiful branding, so you know that you are in Ladurée. I love the box that they put your macarons in, and they take such care to make sure you feel special. It's a stop that anyone has to make.

Stuff who worked this evening was rude to me. It had never happened to me before in this place. Especially in this place. When you come to place with huge history and great reputation, you expect to get nice service too. Food is great, no complains at all.

For the best macarons in the city, head to Laduree. Today I learned that many of their other items are quite good as well. My favorite macaron flavors are pistachio, vanilla, chocolate and salted caramel. I recommend you try whichever sounds interesting to you. If you're interested in a seasonal flavor, check it out before it's gone. But don't just stop with the macarons. For breakfast, brunch or a snack, I love the quiche Lorraine. This is not your typical quiche. The crust is very buttery and flaky and the quiche itself is chock full of bits of meat (ham or bacon). They'll warm it up for you if you wish. The chocolate chip cookie is also quite nice. Buttery and chocolatey with salt on the top. It's a little chewy but not super doughy. The chicken Caesar salad was good, not great in my opinion. The dressing had a strong anchovy flavor and the salad came with a generous amount of chicken and hard boiled egg on top. I just think there are better things to get here. Laduree hot chocolate is rich, decadent and quite thick. Like a drinking chocolate. If you like concentrated chocolate flavor, you'll be a fan of this beverage.

I've never been to France so I have no idea what standard macarons should taste like. I just know that while my macarons had a slight crisp on the outside, it was very chewy on the inside. The rose macarons also had a pungent rose flavor and felt like I was eating solid perfume. That was a big disappointment. I read somewhere that these are flown in from France? That's very impressive, but I'm not satisfied with the macarons given the expensive price. The decor is certainly very cute but I think you can find better macarons elsewhere.

Ladurée Madison - Horrible experience! Very slow and careless service. I received broken macarons, and the cake creams had gone bad , tasted was weird . The $6 latte I ordered was served in a white carton takeaway cup--not worth the price!!! I am very disappointed. The line was very long and the team was super slow. Inside the store, there was no trash can, and a lot of garbage was left on tables and by the windows--it was disgusting. This is unacceptable. Additionally, there was no restroom for customers.

Best quiche Lorraine ever! Not to mention the fabu macarons! And super good latte. Divine. And just around the corner!

I'm ecstatic that I was able to try Laduree in New York after not being able to visit Europe since pre-COVID! We tried an assortment of their macaron box of 12 ($41) with all of them being as amazing in both texture and flavor as they are in Europe. The best ones were the black currant, the chocolate covered raspberry, the champagne rose, and the Marie Antoinette. The line was out the store, probably short-staffed, but I'm just glad I was able to sink my teeth into these amazing treats. Would absolutely return.

I can only speak for their macarons. Very distinctive & interesting flavors! Each one of them tasted as described!! I like the more basic, not too sweet flavors -- pistachio and vanilla were my personal favorites.

When my daughter & I went there they were so busy, but the manger was nice to us & found a table for us to sit & eat even though we had just walked in. my daughter & I both love their macaroons so much. they are so many good flavors to pick from. they taste like heaven on earth.

Beautiful shop! Feels very decadent and fancy and the display is gorgeous. Great service. There are a few tables inside but even more outside. It's not wait service, you seat yourself. The espresso is amazing, and they offer different milks for any type of dietary need. The macarons are what to get, though the other desserts were very good as well. Not the least expensive place, but it's a special treat for yourself or special occasion.

Absolutely fabulous food and staff!! Definitely a brunch to remember!!! You can't go wrong with really anything here!!! We loved all of it.

No one can deny Laduree macarons are truly amazing. I came on a Saturday afternoon to pickup a box of macarons, and there was about a 15min line outside. Once I got in, the person serving me was very helpful and polite. I chose a box of 6 macarons - 2 each of the caramel, raspberry, and passion fruit. Passion fruit was definitely the best! It has a super intense passion fruit flavor, and I really recommend. I thought the caramel was a close second. I also tried the macaron filled with fresh raspberries and rose cream which was delicious. By the time I got their around 4pm, they had run out of pastries. If that's what you're looking for, I suggest stopping in earlier in the day.

For starters this place is super cute! We stopped in one weekday afternoon and it was pretty quiet/slower; there was a separate dining area as well as small tables/chairs for stopping for a quick bite. We ordered the flan, two macarons, a latte, and a hot chocolate. I'm not sure what made it a flan but it was super tasty with a creamy vanilla bean flavor and a flavorful flaky crust. Both of the macarons were very good as well and the chocolate covered macaron was something new to me but I loved it. The latte was good but the hot chocolate was so creamy, rich and flavorful! Definitely must be a fan of chocolate as it is very rich but I loved it!

Sometimes, you need a pick-me-up after a long, hard day of shopping the designers along Madison Ave. And while Ralph's Coffee is always a hit, sometimes you want a treat with a bit of an European flair! If this sounds like you, then Ladureé must be your next stop. Every time I walk past this establishment, the line of fashionistas holding their newly acquired luxury goods, clamoring for macaroons is out the door and sometimes down the block. This is partially because the macaroons are delicious, and partially because Ladureè is understaffed and service is slow. If you're stopping by for a coffee, you might as well get a boxed set of macaroons to go! And if you're going to stand in line for half an hour, then maybe you should treat yourself and try some pastries as well. Everything about this shop is delightful, from the rococo decor, to the immaculately boxed pastries, to the positive attitudes of the staff working there. This is a nice stop if you find yourself craving something sweet and are not in a rush!

They have really good macarons, my favorite. Service is alright they have a restau dining area and a regular sitting table for cafe.

I'm a firm believer that macarons never go out of style. It's one of those classy desserts that is best enjoyed with a hot cup of tea or espresso. The lines here can get long, but its completely worth it. One of my favorites is the ispahan, a larger raspberry macaron with lychee. It's almost $10 for this, and the smaller ones are $2.90 each. I also like the rose, passion fruit, raspberry, and pistachio, The texture of the macarons here are soft and slightly chewy, which is quite difficult to replicate in one's own kitchen. Definitely would come back if I want some classy sweets.

Came here around 10:40AM on Saturday. During the pandemic they are only allowing 6 customers into the store at a time. There were only two people in front of me, outside the store. A line of about 6-8 slowly formed behind me. We ordered 5 macarons: citron, fleur d'Oranger, Marie Antoinette, café, and fruit de la passion. Coffee (café) was my favorite. The filling tasted like coffee ice cream. Citron was a delicious lemon macaron. The passion fruit was okay. I did not like the orange blossom macaron, too floral for me. The Marie Antoinette was my least favorite- the flavors were odd. I like that the macarons were soft with a little chewiness. They were not overly sweet like most macarons I've tried at other places.

The world's best macarons, in my opinion. They are flown in from France and are fresh and delicious. They are expensive but worth it. The only problem is the lack of parking, so take public transportation or an Uber/taxi. Worth a visit!
