Margaret W.Margaret Wang: The macarons really are worth the money. Ladurée does a great job with texture and flavor balance.

Dolapo F.Dolapo Falola: The rose macaron here is lovely. Unlike their "no photos" policy

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Make sure there's a soft-hued pistachio macaron in your order; add on a vanilla speckled with what seems like a million vanilla beans; and a salty caramel that's bold on the salt.

Brad G.Brad Green: The croissants, so fresh they are still warm from the oven, are perfect—soft on the inside, and slightly crunchy and flaky on the outside. The best on the UES.

Charlotte C.Charlotte Cusano: Most delicious, sweet smell inside. Reminded me of Paris. Incredible service. Strawberry croissant did not disappoint. Iced coffee hit the spot too. Great for a quick morning stop.
