10 Best French Bakeries in New York City

Many of you know I am quite a lover of cannoli, however, the French are quite some fantastic bakers. Italian desserts are wonderful, but I do have quite a fondness for French pastry, thanks to the many fabulous shops in New York City. Their desserts are works of art, almost too pretty to eat, but we enjoy them oh so much! There are way too many to pick a favorite, Doninique Ansel with his craze of the Cronut, is what comes first to mind. I really love Maison Kayser myself, and Bouchon Bakery with their homemade Oreo and Nutter Butter cookies. I would say this list below is great to take with you when visiting, and be sure to stop by each one and try something amazing. You will be smiling from ear to ear when you are done, and the walking will help shed the calories!

1. Maison Kayser
2. Francois Payard
3. Financier Pastisserie
4. Dominique Ansel Bakery
5. Bouchon Bakery
6. Mille-Feuille Bakery
7. Ceci-Cela
8. La Maison du Chocolat 
9. Epicerie Boulud
10. La Maison du Macaron

Macarons in the Flatiron District at La Maison

When I visited the city last month, I came across the fabulous La Maison du Macaron shop in the Flatiron district. Funny thing, it wasn't on my agenda, but I happened to walk past on my way elsewhere and had to pop in! Sometimes you have to be willing to adjust your agenda for pop ups such as these. 

When I walked in, the smell was just heavenly! I was very glad I decided to check it out and will be sure to be back again very soon. The decor is adorable and the staff was very friendly as well. 

The menu was quite nice and deciding was quite a hard job 

Everything was presented so lovely and looked yummy 

The French can make pastries like no other country and they look gorgeous  

I think presentation is so important in their pastries just as much as the taste

These eclairs would make my late Aunt very happy and those lemon tarts would make my Mom very happy 

The flavors are quite unique like Rose Lychee Liquor, Apricot Champagne, Lemon Caramel, Nutella Candied Orange 

Another tasty flavor, Spicy Bourbon !!  

I tried these purple beauties and they were so flavorful. 

These would be just amazing to bring home to family and friends. You would not even need to wrap them, they are so pretty on their own. 

They have a great area to site and relax, have a drink and some french macarons. If you are in this area and looking for a rest for the tired feet, give this place a try. French Macarons are quite a delicacy and should be enjoyed by everyone!!
