Hidden little gem within the Financial District. A little hard to find as it's located deep in an alleyway. Even with directions it was hard to locate especially if you're not a local. A short walking distance from Battery Park. Good selection of pastries and sandwiches. It's small but very cozy with a European feel. The staff were very friendly. Just stopped by to have a cup of coffee so can't comment on the food. Will be back next time.
I'm not a big coffee fan but my boyfriend is and he absolutely hated the latte here, to me it tasted really bland. BUT the tea I had was refreshing and delicious and the macaroons are heavenly. We got that and a key lime tartelette which was out of this world. The baked goods here seem to be the best part. Definitely worth a try if you have a sweet tooth.
Love love love! This location is spacious and bright and I'm definitely coming back. Friendly staff and even better pastries, an array of beverages and easy pick-up meals (salads, quiches). I had an iced tea that was just the perfect brew–it didn't taste like its been steeping for hours. The macarons are larger than anywhere else, and a great gift for a coworker or a treat after a long day at work.
If you are staying in, this is a lovely little spot for a coffee-date or a breakfast meeting. I hear the almond croissants are excellent first thing in the morning.
$8 for a small salad and a slice of quiche, which seemed like a good portion since I wasn't too hungry. I threw in an extra large macaron too since they looked so fun. The garden salad was good, but quite small and left me wanting more and the quiche was nicely warmed up but way too salty. I can see how Financier Patisserie has something special going with their quiche, if only it wasn't too salty. The macaron was way too sweet, it was actually disgusting and I didn't finish it.
I think the idea of making things overly sweet and overly sugary is to appeal to the taste of some, but it really made the experience unauthentic and the food not very good. They do have a nice sitting area as well as a nice patio, which was really nice.
This is a great place for some quality coffee and baked goods. I really liked the pistachio macaron. I had just recently come back from a trip to Paris and was doubting that I would be impressed by macarons sold at a bakery in FiDi, but the macarons at financier were very tasty!
Friends have told me that they enjoy doing work here, but I personally found the environment to be less suitable for that. The room felt a bit hot and muggy.
This place is meh. The coffee tastes a bit different – but maybe that's because the BF and I are from California and Texas.
The scone is deceiving. It's not sweet at all but more savory – and it has an odd taste to it. But the texture is great.
basic pastry shop, had the extra large macaroons, they were very sweet and the texture did not reflect that of a french macaroon. Will definetly fix your sweet tooth when you are in the area.
I was in the area for a meeting, and had some time to kill. I used yelp to search for "breakfast" and this place was the #1 spot for this area.
It's a cute place. Feels trendy. It's a hip little coffee place that sells pastries and macaroons. French macaroons – not the coconut things you're thinking about.

I got a coffee, an almond croissant, and a banana-caramel macaroon.
Coffee was good. They give you this teeny madeline with it. That was actually good too. The croissant was nice – not fluffy like you'd expect. I think it was made the day before or something. Speaking of old food – the macaroon was a total letdown. Didn't taste like banana or caramel. It tasted chemical-y. And it wasn't fresh. I've had French macaroons before and they should be light and airy and delicious. This was more like a brick. Which was sad because I was going to buy a pack to bring home, but definitely not now.

It's a cute place to get a coffee and rest. At least the a/c is cranked. NYC is muggy!!!
