I just love this place! - The people who work there are just the warmest, most friendly people you'll ever meet. Their coffee is great, and their pastries are OUT OF THIS WORLD - I'm quite serious when I say my boyfriend or I usually go back at least once a week, because their pastries are always fresh, and they're handmade too and you can absolutely taste the difference. They're such sweethearts in there they usually give us a free pastry or two when we go in too!
I think my favorite is the almond croissant they do, but then again everything they make is delicious! Can&apos

Pabade is a must. You won’t find kinder people or more delicious pastries. They are some of the most delicious in the entire city and some of the best prices you’ll find in the city. Everything is made with love, and the owner is often around to gush about how everything is made and tell you how delicious it all is (even still an understatement).

I pop into this neighborhood favorite for quick bites. It's not a wonder, nothing but five star reviews. Literally, you can throw a dart at whatever's on the menu/display case, and it'll be a winner. They're doing everything right here. And, yes!, their flan is smooth, light and AMAZING!

This place is unbelievably wonderful - the staff are funny and kind, the pastries are fresh and delicious. I tried the nutella pastry, the guava croissant, and the almond croissant. I came upon it on my walk to the subway one morning and I wish they were open longer in the day, but no matter, I’ll make it a point to frequent regularly in the mornings.

They have great quiches, great pastries, a bit pricey, but I want to support these guys so much. Many stores have gone in and out of there, and Pabade has been my favorite. Their guava croissant is to die for, and I love everyone who works there.

Pabade Bakery in East Harlem is the best. Today I met one of the owners Dahyanna. She manages the business. Dahyanna told me her brother Yolfer is the baker. I felt like we were old friends she was so down to earth. I'm honored to be able to say I met her.

As for the baked goods they are made fresh daily. They have vegan and gluten free options. This location is organized and has helpful friendly employees. Before the owner arrived the employees were so very nice to speak with me during my visit. I showed proof of vaccination and sat down for my coffee. It is a very small space inside but

What a awesome gem! Came across this popping cafe with good strong coffee and delicious fresh baked pastries. The family that runs the place was so friendly and you can really tell they put love into their food. Definitely will be coming back to this place.

I had the guava pastry here and it's excellent. The outside is nice and flaky and the guava filling is fresh and has just the right amount of sweetness.

This place has some of the best pastries in Manhattan at super reasonable prices. Over the last year, I've tried (and loved) the almond croissant, kouign amann (which is better than the more famous ones in the city...and is a little different because it has a little apple in the center), spinach and feta roll; a variation of a pão de queijo, and countless muffins and breads. They are all so well done! I don't know how they make such a variety without any misses. And the service has always been excellent every time I've stopped by!

Sitting in the pabado bathroom while I write this review, had to stop here for a work call while waiting to check into my hotel.
Strong tasty coffee, and the pastries are great, even cold. Workers are super nice and there are plenty of outlets for working. Would visit again!

Their pastries are AWESOME. I've come here twice thanks to Too Good to Go, and have not been disappointed. Quite the opposite, actually. We got their Pain au Raisin, banana chocolate chip muffin, chocolate babka muffin and almond croissant. These pastures are humungous and so flavorful. If you're in East Harlem this spot is a must for a morning dream or afternoon pick me up. Loved every bite and I'll be back.

I absolutely love this bakery! It has so many awesome options, especially if you love croissants. There are several delicious treats made from croissant dough that are just so fluffy and delicious.

The owners are also so nice, and I have never been disappointed when I go. The baked goods are definitely the highlight, but the coffee is pretty good too.

My wife and I love taking our two young girls there on Saturdays for treats, and I hope they are around for a very long time. My last trip there, I got a cinnamon croissant roll, and it was stellar!

COVID times call for supporting local businesses, and I'm so so glad that I discovered this little bakery. Having just moved to the East Harlem area not too long ago, I was on the hunt for a good local bakery in the area. I've ordered the Pabade box for pickup so many times and every time I'm not disappointed. I believe I wasn't around when they were doing weekly deliveries, but I didn't mind the walk. You can customize the box if there are certain pastries that you prefer.

The bakery is run by a Colombian family who trained at a French-Jewish culinary school and it definitely

COVID-19 REVIEW

Short review: GET THE BOX. DO IT. It's a hard time, you deserve it, they deserve it, we all deserve it. The luxury of having a hot coffee and pastry is not to be underestimated. Get this box. You're welcome.

Long review:
I saw online that Pabade was offering 10 pastries for $20 delivered in a no-contact way to your apartment each week. Given the opportunity to both try a new bakery and support a local business, I jumped.

I ordered my box Sunday morning (as of this writing, you have to order by Sunday at 5pm to get your box on Monday and they only do once a week deliveries

I love this local café! DELICIOUS pastries and treats and La Colombe coffee. Seriously, their fresh baked goods are some of the best I've had, in a cute, clean, and friendly environment. I've tried everything from cheese bread to monkey bread to fruit tarts and croissants.

The OATMEAL COOKIE really surprised me--it has a hint of orange and a wonderful texture. Beats any oatmeal raisin cookie. They also have savory food like sandwiches, empanadas, and quiches. Again, everything is fresh and tasty! They have good wifi and some small tables if you want to sit and do some work. Definitely
