I'm not too big on eclairs, so I skipped that and got the almond raspberry "smashed croissant" instead – definitely looks no where near a croissant but tasted just like it, if not better! It was pretty big, so my coworker and I ended up splitting one.
Iced coffee was also very good! Will definitely try to return in the near future!
Best eclair ever!!! I had the chocolate eclair, OMG it was soooo good!!! Too bad it's a bit far for me now to go there, but will definitely return when I'm in the city again
Walked over from Rockefeller to this bakery on Friday. My friend just had a baby so I contemplated, flowers or something yummy she will love? Yup, opted for something yummy instead and came here, ha!
Very small spot but cute and very clean. About 3 small tables and a counter w/about 4 stools. Since it was during the work day, it wasn't crowded. So I wandered in and saw all the eclairs, yummy desserts like macarons etc. I read in another review that they had mini eclairs, which they do but you can't buy individually…*womp womp* The regular sized eclairs are over $5…NOT sure why it says $4.50 online?? Anyway, the mini ones only come assorted in a box for $20(about 12- one of each flavor). I opted for the box to bring to my friend. For myself: I decided on an almond croissant and small coffee…ummm WOW thank you to the other yelper for recommending this! It was the amazing in the most simple way. They have a chocolate, almond one for the chocolate lovers out there. I can't comment on the eclairs because I didn't have one, but my friend said she enjoyed them! I met a really cute old couple that frequent there and said they enjoy the sandwiches that you can find in the small refrigerated section. Plan on coming back to try the eclairs and maybe a sandwich!
The two girls were very sweet in the front counter. We chatted a bit about the coffee they serve, yelp, and my day. Ill be back and damn right I'm getting that almond croissant no matter what!
3.5*
Wasn't a huge fan of the service. The girl who took my order was friendly, but I was buying a box of minis for a friend and she wasn't too gentle when bagging the box…so some of them flipped over.
Raspberry Eclair – omg delicious. Loved the soft raspberry flavors!
Hazelnut Eclair – beautiful gold dusting, but this tasted nothing like hazelnut. Wish I picked a different one.
After a day of exploring New York, I was walking North of the UN building and felt rather peckish for a dessert. Needless to say, Yelp didn't lead me wrong when this placed popped up.
Their Eclairs are to die for. Perfectly baked, with a caramel coating with a perfect glass sheen and snap, and a taste that absolutely hit the spot. If I was feeling greedy, I dare say I would have purchased another one, along with a good number of macarons that were also tempting me in their display cases.
It's a bit of a hole in the wall, a blink and you might miss it place. There's still good tables/benches to sit in if you're with a small group and want to get off your feet for a while.
It's a real shame I was only on holiday in NY, otherwise I could have seen myself becoming a regular here.
I haven't physically visited this place yet. However, I have had the eclairs many times. It was always such a special treat when hubby bought them. My favorite part about this place is the mini eclairs! I could have many different flavors in one sitting.
I don't have much to say about Eclair Bakery, but what you should know is that the eclairs are truly delicious. The variety offered here is quite impressive and the filling is perfect.
Everyone has tried the eclairs here and 9 out of ten Yelp reviews are about the eclairs, but what about the other items that are available at the Éclair Factory, huh, huh, yah right?
Luckily, I'm the guy looking out for you. I have gone a few times and tried the Carrot Cake, Flan, Coconut Macaroons, Creme Brûlée, and a few others but not as much as I wish since my disposable income isn't so easily replenished.
So here is what I tried;
Carrot Cake : Has a glaze on top of the cream cheese, lite on carrot and nuts, the little candy carrot on top was hard, the taste is fine but not fabulous.
Cheese Cake : Plane, Plane, Plane cheese cake, no big deal
Coconut Macaroons: Good , nut burned or hard like other places but will stick to your teeth.
Creme Brûlée : This was good with its sugar shell on top but a the clustered was a little to egg like.
Croissant : Was good and flaky, I made a mess when slicing it since I like to put orange marmalade or other jellies.
Flan : This flan is more cake like , it stands on its own without a container, dry with no caramel but it was flanee, (I like to me up my own words if you don't mind).
Lemon Tart : This was real good and tangy but sweet , the shell crumbled and was not hard. will get it again.
Look like I like the letter C, anyway the staff is always nice and friendly, they jump on you once you are ten feet of the counter. The place is clean with a few tables to sit and they also serve coffee.
