Francois Payard Bakery
“The staff here is super friendly, and although the space is a little too small to eat-in, take your sandwich to the tables behind the World Financial Center!”
“It's inside of a little strip of restaurants and quick bite places under I think the Goldman Sachs building.”
“I wanted everything in the pastry case: I have eaten at many of the Bakery's other
locations, for years, but this one, located in the trendiest of neighborhoods (Battery Park city)
just can't be beat.”

The macaron ice cream sandwich is overhyped. There was nothing special. I just tasted sweet on sweet on sweet. I wouldn't come back for another ice cream sandwich. It costs $5 a piece. I'm glad I tried it though. Now I know I can spend $5 on better ice cream, because this was not worth it at all.
These macaroons were a tad bit too sweet for me, especially for the price.
Stopped by here for a coffee break with a friend, grabbed a table and relaxing inside (small, a few tables).
Quick and simple, this is a place for a snack, dessert, or coffee. Music selection was interesting, but it was the close of day so I suppose a little rap was good for cleaning to!
I got the breakfast sandwich (chive omelette, bacon, and tartar sauce spread) here and regretted it later as there are seemingly better and, most importantly, more cost-effective options nearby. It was an okay sandwich but it was totally overwhelmed by the copious amount of tartar sauce within the sandwich.
I made a mistake by ordering with my eyes and thinking their sandwich was too small. As a result, I paid around $16 for two sandwiches. To its credit, half of one filled me up enough, but still — two okay sandwiches with too much tartar sauce at a too-high price.
Love the almond croissant and I always find myself craving it! It's the perfect balance of chewy texture with almond flavor that's not too overwhelming (the amaretto taste can be a little off putting sometimes).
I only dropped by this location for the macaron ice cream sandwich.
I ordered the passion fruit cheesecake one, and it cost a flat $5. Macarons run about $2.50 a pop, so the price makes sense. The thing is roughly the size of two macarons.
I understand that passion fruit is tart, but it was a bit too tart for my taste. On the other hand, the ice cream was melting so fast (as in dripping) before I even left the store. This is the reason for such a low review and my incredible disappointment since I live macarons and ice cream. When the weather gets hotter, how in the world will these hold up? My suggestion is to freeze the suckers till they're like bricks.
I only came in here for a Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich, but that's enough to make me want to come back.
We got the vanilla bean brownie ICS. Not quite a macaron, but still delicious. It was a good size for a dessert and it wasn't too sweet. I liked that it wasn't to hard to bite into – the brownie and ice cream layers almost melted in my mouth once I took a bite. Probably not the best for an on-the-go treat, but they have seating in there anyway!
Service was good – the cashier was friendly and a bit sassy. In a good way, of course! It's kinda dark in there, but the place itself is a cute spot to meet up for some dessert or coffee.
$2.50 per macaron.
I've yet to try their individual macarons though.
I came here for the macaron ice cream sandwich. I had the pistachio-raspberry one and it was tart-sweet and refreshing. I really wanted to try the cheesecake one but it was all sold out. Maybe next time.
