Patisserie Claude - City of New York

I ordered from Patisserie Claude several times over the past few years and had been pleased, but I was shocked by the quality of my latest delivery a few days ago. The Napoleons I received had been FROZEN and were in only the early stages of thawing! Naturally, as they thawed the pastry cream separated and became granular. In addition, the pain au chocolats and croissants were the worst I've received from any bakery. The croissants were completely misshapen, as if the party making them knew nothing about the proper shape of a croissant. They were laden with butter but not at all flakey. As a result, they were like leaden lard and inedible. The same was true of the pain au chocolats. I called and complained about the Napoleons and was offered a free redelivery of Napoleons the following day, but I decided to take a pass because any bakery that's capable of delivery what I received the day before is a bakery I'll never trust again.

One of the most amazing patisseries in the world! From the delightful quiches, to the amazing croissant and pain au chocolat, to the delicious tartes and the Napoleon this place has something for all sorts of vibes!!! Also, it has an energy that is hard to put into words I became a regular for life!!!

Tried a few things and the apricot tart is fabulous!! Small and unassuming place, people there are helpful.

Decent but you can do better in NYC for pastries. More like 3.5 stars. Small selection and the pastries were just fine

This is a small gem hidden in the city. My steady to go are the Almond Croissant, Quiche and their Chocolate Opera Cake. Always fresh and perfectly made. Assorted cookies are for special occasions.Everything on this place is delicious the real problem is decide what to go for ?
