@JaumePrimero: The hot chocolate here is so good! Try the almond croissants as well :)
Andy Y: Try: Almond Broiche, ham and cheese croissant, duck pate sandwich, chocolate croissant... Great little cafe.
Tim Shey: A longtime West Chelsea mainstay. Check out the ancient espresso machine. If you want to venture beyond their great croissants, they have a super-rich almond brioche toast, and a nice coffee eclair.

Alon Burg: Cheese straws, feta and goat cheese burekas, rugalach, almond croissant all fresh and will turn you into the happiest person on the block
Amy Shackelford: As someone who works here and has tried everything, my favs are almond croissants, babka, and cereal bread. If you're there for lunch: go for the avocado sand. Delicious and high quality!
The Corcoran Group: Bringing Paris to NYC. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch on the weekends, or pop in to the bakery for some Caramel Sale macaroons or an almond croissant! Oui! Oui!
Raphael Langenscheidt: Best home potatoes and Almond Croissants I've come across in this wonderful city. Jake Gyllenhaal agrees.
Mischa: Pastries are amazing, everyone writes about the almond croissant but the danish du jour is the best. Croque madame is awesome for brunch.
