Ham and cheese sandwich : generous amount of tasty ham, bread baguette dense not crunchy, brick like, very strange for a french patisserie.
The most "unfrench" patisserie i tasted was unfortunately the eclair. It is to wonder if it is known how it should taste?? It was dense, thick almost bread like. Nothing light puffy and airy. Sorry guys.
I tasted the dark chocolate mousse cake and it was delicious.
The place is quaint and clean.

This is the second time I purchase from them. The croissant I got looks like a saggy uncooked dough this time. Obviously the dough isn’t cooked correctly and no layers inside the croissant. This should not been sale in the store. The quality control is bad. And I believe they try to cheat the customers with the defective goods when the the customers didn’t pay attention. Highly suggest that don’t trust the bakery they picked up for you and make sure the items they give you is from the showcase not from the under counter. Hope I can give them 0 star. The worst business is the dishonest one

Was in the neighborhood and wanted a chocolate chip 🍪 cookie that I had not tried yet. Eclair bakery was a bit of a walk if you got off at the wrong end of the subway. as I entered, I could see there were so many choices..breads, cakes, pastries, gelato..they all looked good too. there was a bit of a line, even in midday which was ok since I got to see and hear what they were ordering. since I came for the cookie, that's what I got. and wow, it was soooo good! possibly one of the best I have had (and have tried them all). I can imagine that since the chocolate chip cookie was delicious, am sure

This is where I began my mission to find awesome creme brulee and tiramisu.
I arrived about an hour before close and ordered a small creme brulee and a tiramisu in a cup.
I have come to the conclusion that tiramisu that isn't served in an actual cake form, just isn't going to be great. This one didn't change my mind. It was ok and had the basic tiramisu flavors but it was like a short of tiramisu pudding cup.
The creme brulee was better. The woman took it caramelized the top so that it was warmer and the crunchy sugary top was freshly crunchy but I just don't think that these version that sit

Eclair Bakery has been one of the most popular places for French pastries and desserts, especially their eclairs in the neighborhood recently.
We were there at 9am on a Sunday morning and there was a line at about 10am. We would recommend to come earlier to beat the crowd.
We got 4 different croissants (Pistachio, Pecan, Almond and Hazelnut) , a Spinach Danish, a testing box of 12 mini eclairs and 2 cups of coffee. It was a little pricy but well worth the price. Everything was delicious and delicate.
Our favorites were the mini eclair, the filling was creamy & flavorful and the Almond Croissant

This place is a gem. I wanted to buy everything but had to control myself. All their desserts are decorated so meticulously, I was drawn like a fly to honey. Loved the hazelnut eclair, it tasted like a ferrero rocher. But my biggest recommendation would be the passion fruit eclair - it's bright, tart, and not too sweet. Definitely coming back for the rest of their pastries.

The menu prices are wrong. They were last year as well and haven't been corrected. Clearly they are just trying to make more money by charging $.25-$.50 more per item than listed. To make things worse, as I walking to the door (before I even left the store!) another customer barged in and knocked my drink out of my hand. They refused to replace it, despite seeing what happened. This is the second chance I gave this place and they failed miserably.
