Patisserie Chanson

I am a sucker for desserts and baked goods. I came across this place while walking around in the UWS and was immediately drawn to it after seeing the cute desserts they had displayed on their sign. Luckily for me, I arrived at exactly 3 and they have a promotion going on that gives you a discount on specific days after 3PM. I ordered the zesty tart and it is delicious. It was a lemony/lime taste and it has a very cheesecake like texture to it. I'd love to comeback to try their other desserts

I love Chanson Pattiserie on 23rd street and was so excited to check out their new little spot on 70th street UWS. We went on a Monday afternoon and it was surprising how little selection there was on display. Just a few pastries. The little mango and strawberry cakes we ordered were delicious. But what surprised us was that we weren't even asked if we wanted our coffee in a mug or a disposable cup. We were given coffee in a paper cup. The big plus of this visit was that there were 3 more people in the cafe besides us and we had our coffee in quiet, although, of course, the cafe is located in such a location that you can't expect there to be few people there. I'll try to come back another day

It's a quiet small place, but there are some seats and tables available if you want to dine in. I had the passion fruit tart, which was not too sweet and delicious. The latte was good as well. The atmosphere inside was nice and quiet.

Amazing cafe ever! The manager Matt is very kind and great service. I come back here every time I come to UWS. My favorite is Pistachio Financier. It’s so beautiful green inside. Also Napoleon cake is very good quality, crispy every bite, less sweet cream which I love. I always buy a Napoleon in NYC if it’s available, and so far this place has the best one. I tried a smoked salmon croissant sandwich when all kinds of sandwiches were 50% Off after 3pm. It was chef quality, fresh, great combination of ingredients. I enjoyed very much. I want to try every menu in this cafe as much as I can. One again, thank you so much Matt for your great service!

Delicious food and drinks served in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. I took advantage of the sandwich and drink special and received two macaroons as well. The coconut tea is refreshing and the turkey sandwich was delicious served in the croissant. I will return to sample the coffee menu. Great spot !

We have visited their multiple locations including the newly open Upper East and West side stores. They serve various bread, pastry, dessert and light meal which are perfect for all occasions and taste buds so we also downloaded their app for membership reward program. We had their Plain Croissant and Baguette as breakfast. It’s overall decent but with little high price. They also run daily promotions but we missed the one on Tuesday which is “Buy one regular-priced coffee and add $2 to purchase any bakery item.”

Small Gems, this place is exactly that. The atmosphere is calming, cool and beautiful. The service is always perfect, the customer service has never failed to make me feel welcomed and happy to have spent money. The food is delicious, and in this day and age with prices being what they are, this place is ah-fford-ah-ble... And so worth every cent and more, but happy they don't charge more. Have been here every weekend for the last 2 months. The Pistachio francière is my favorite, the pistachio flavor packed into this soft round masterpiece. My wife loves the French Canele, the balance of caramel to licorice flavor is perfectly balanced and she loves them until they are gone and ask when can we get more. Happy to have found this gem and will continue to show support. Jamaica Queens to NYC for One of The Best New French Patisserie in the city in my humble opinion. Can't wait to see you next weekend.

Delicious and beautifully made cakes here. Staff are friendly too. My only complaint is the wooden utensils which make every bite taste like wood. I appreciate the concept, but bring your own utensils or take out.

If there was a way to enlarge the dessert I had, I would come out in a coma. I really enjoyed the seasonal Midnight Sesame Delight (spring 2025). I love anything black sesame and will always gravitate to it if I see if offered in a dessert. The dessert was light, the cake was black sesame flavored with a raspberry jam and matcha crust on the bottom. The outside was blessed with a nice black sesame flavor.

Got a chocolate hazelnut tarte late in the day. It was just enough sweetness, plenty of actual hazelnuts, the crust was a great texture, the whipped cream was nice and light.

A really cute pastry shop on the UWS with nice seating and the cutest desserts! Their pastry counter is beautiful- so many delicious-looking desserts. I came with my sister and we got the Bunny Cheesecake and the Strawberry Dream. The Bunny Cheesecake was surprisingly light and fluffy- not too sweet. The Strawberry dessert consisted of layers of fluffy mousse and a light cake. It was also fluffy and not too sweet but with a nice flavor from the strawberry. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked both of them considering I'm not the biggest cheesecake person. You pay for the aesthetic so they're all a bit expensive ($10 ea) but they were running a promo where certain desserts (the ones we got were included) are 30% off after 3 PM, which was great for us! Overall, a nice addition to the UWS!

Such a cute spot for cakes and pastries! I will definitely be returning! We tried the Bunny Cheesecake and Strawberry Dream. Both were had light and airy textures. Not too sweet either. I liked the bunny cheesecake better, but both were great! I still cannot get over how adorable the bunny is.

We went to this place for the first time and got their crookie. It's very tasty and love the combination of chocolate chip cookie and croissant. It's $8.50 and pretty big so it's shareable which I love :) They had so many pastries which looked really good so I'll definitely come back to try more!!

Consistently good service, tasty pastries (especially canelé), their matcha is not great though.

3.5 Stars. This is Patisserie Chanson's fourth location in New York which opened earlier this month, so I'm really surprised no one has reviewed them yet. The desserts are gorgeous looking and decadent, albeit a little pricey. Along with desserts they also have sandwiches, salads, breads, and drinks. They have a couple of promotional items on their website and app. I decided to try one called the Summer Delight Value Combo which consisted of a sandwich or salad, two macarons and an iced tea for $14.99. If you were to order these separate it would come to about $24 so this was a bargain! I went after work and, unfortunately, they had run out of macarons and only had two sandwiches left for the day. The staff person was kind enough to let me choose a dessert from the display case since they ran out of most sandwiches and had no more macarons left. I ended up getting the Ham and Cheese Sandwich, a Raspberry Tart (in lieu of the macarons) and a Hibiscus Lemonade. The sandwich had sharp white cheddar, ham, and cornichons on a baguette. It was alright. Maybe this would have been better when it was fresh but at the end of the day it was just a cold ham and cheese sandwich that needed more dressing. Luckily, the dessert and drink made up for the disappointing sandwich. The Hibiscus Lemonade was very refreshing and perfect for the hot weather. And the tart had very fresh Raspberries and blueberries. Just delicious. Since I'm in this neighborhood often, I'll probably come back. I think that the desserts and breads is where they really shine, and they have other promotional combos that I want to try. And if you upload their app, you can earn rewards with every purchase. If you plan on coming by, please note that they close every day at 6pm which is rather early in my opinion.

Stopped in here since the place looked so cute and the psstries were noticeable from outside. I went in and was able to be assisted right away. The place had a few people inside but there was still enough room to sit. I ordered the lemon tart and the raspberry tart. The lemon tart made my mouth pucker and was tasty with a hint of sweet. The raspberry tart was sweet and fresh with a small dollop of raspberry marmalade as well. I also got a drink that sounded very unique Latte Violette made with rose, taro and ube. It was sweet and the perfect temperature. Definitely recommend getting this drink.

One of the Great Yelp Mysteries of 2023 in my little UWS corner of the dining world is: Why the heck have only four people reviewed this new location of Chanson that opened five months ago? I always get a little paranoid when something like this happens with a new outpost of a big-name restaurant/bakery. It's like, did two Yelp pages somehow get created for this business, and everybody except me is hanging out and having a blast on the other one? Is this new spot keeping irregular hours that have resulted in almost nobody else enjoying its deliciousness? Is the excitement about this opening actually so incredibly high that virtually no one has managed to pause and jot down some mental tasting notes or snap a photo before devouring their cinnamon kouign amann? The silence is undeniably strange, given that Chanson is pretty prestigious -- not as sought-after as Dominique Ansel, but definitely in the upper echelon of sweets. It's the sort of place where people have plunked down $75 for dessert tasting menus (with a $60 beverage pairing!) at the flagship location. The Curious Case of the Missing Yelpers gets even weirder when you look a few blocks south on Broadway and find the perpetually jam-packed Rosetta, a Miami-based chainlet that's only been open since fall 2022 but has 20 times as many reviews as Chanson. But I have a (serious) theory that might partly explain what's going on: Despite Chanson's prime location, it is extremely easy to miss. Its exterior consists of floor-to-ceiling windows, but they're darkly tinted. There's signage around the lower part of the windows, but it's pitch black. And the interior is so softly lit that, from the outside, you almost need to press your eyes against the windows to tell if it's open. The good thing about this situation is that Chanson is always chill and tranquil (the opposite of the aforementioned Rosetta). The bad thing is that it makes me think Chanson ain't gonna last (the rent must be astronomical). But I'll do what I can to boost the foot traffic by penning this (ridiculously long) review and singing the praises of basically everything I've consumed, including: -- The pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tart). Really excellent rendition of a classic; my wife usually detests custard and she adored this flaky little wonder. -- The pistachio financier. This ain't your typical dainty little cake at afternoon tea; it's at least as large, and almost as heavy, as a hockey puck, with a tight, soft, vibrantly green crumb, plus a drizzle of amber-hued syrup on top. -- The signature chocolate chip cookie. This can also double as a hockey puck; it's basically a blondie with chocolate chips, and it's distinct from the regular chocolate chip cookie, which is thin and has sea salt. -- Savory options abound, and I was surprised to see slices of Spanish tortilla de patatas ($11). Chanson's version is heavy on the spuds, resembling a slice of scalloped potatoes. I prefer an eggier, wobblier style, but this is good. -- Another savory and irresistible item is the chili-cheese palmier. Like the super-size financier, this is way bigger than your usual palmier -- it's nearly as hefty as a croissant and has a similarly light, laminated interior. So yeah, don't let Chanson's incognito appearance or quiet Yelp page stop you from stopping in -- come eat some sweets (and be sure to leave a review!).

While apartment hunting I stopped into this cute little bakery/coffee shop to get a drink. I accidentally left my purse behind and hours later in shambles I realized I must have left it at this coffee shop. Matt was extremely nice and made sure to take all the necessary precautions before returning my purse for me. He asked me for my name, DOB, color and what kind of purse before just handing it off. Matt and his coworkers also reached out to me through social media to inform me that I had left my purse behind. Aside from the delightful pastries and coffees, the staff is truly wonderful! thank you Matt!!!

The breakfast combo is not available , although a large poster sign and app have the options. This is unfortunate as this would have brought in more foot traffic in the mornings

I love macaroons and about to try their Lychee and pistachio while I drink my rose latte. This place is great so many yummy latte options.

Completely indebted to Chanson for making me fall in love with their ultra delicious pistachio financiers! Everything is divine! But that and the ube taro latte is top tier! Ive also tried the chili cheese palmier which was also great. The baristas up front are always warm, kind, and helpful! Im officially a subscribed member!

I loveeee this place and their products! I have been going for years to the one in Chelsea and was happy to find out they opened one on the UWS. Cliff who works here, is super nice and always serves you with a smile and patience! Definitely my new weekly spot in the neighborhood.

great service so nice and helpful! the food was amazing, best macaroons in all of New York, and the chocolate croissant is amazing!
