"Small French bakery/cafe offering croissants, macarons, Napoleons, cakes & other treats."

Mille-Feuille Bakery Cafe is a French bakery and cafe in New York City, founded in 2011 by Olivier and Nathalie Dessyn, with three locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn. The bakery produces croissants, breads, pastries, macarons, mousse cakes, and chocolate confections from scratch each morning using organic flour, 83% European-style butter, and French chocolate; baking classes are also offered, limited to 8 guests per session, starting at $95. Open since 2011, with coverage in The New York Times, Vogue, Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, and Time Out; founder Olivier Dessyn trained at the Ritz Cooking School in Paris and alongside Pierre Herme, and Executive Chef Dimitri Viaud brings 18 years of baking and pastry experience. Three locations: Greenwich Village (552 LaGuardia Place), Upper West Side (2175 Broadway), and Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (622 Vanderbilt Avenue). Reviewers highlight the warm, cozy atmosphere, desserts including raspberry macarons and cognac pecan pie, and attentive staff; some note that cappuccinos and pastries are solid, while a few reviewers found the setting and cleanliness inconsistent.
