Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014When I’m on the go I grab a banh mi, made with our homemade pâté, sausage and ham, it is the most incredible on the planet. For something sweet, a crispy on the outside, soft on the inside canelé.

Hannah LeeJuly 18, 2017Best croissants in all of New York! (Even better than Balthazar in Soho.) Definitely stop by - it's located in Oculus right next to the World Trade Center Memorial :)
My go-to spot around Lincoln Center for a quick bite. Great pre-made salads, especially the Moroccan chickpeas and Mushroom-Farro. Oyster bar also a fun stop for late afternoon drinks and snacks.
Foad TorshiziJanuary 8, 2017I love the jambon beurre on baguette here. It's the best you'll find in the neighborhood. Amazing salads. Great hotdogs. This is our go to place whenever we go to the Lincoln Center.
Larisa GrollemondMarch 5, 2016Expensive, but that's to be expected. Delicious French pastries and good hot sandwiches. Get it to go, tables are standing room only and always packed.
Denise D.September 14, 2018Their baked sweets are the perfect fix when you’re craving sugar. The strawberry cube and macaroons were perfectly sweet but not too much
Serious EatsOctober 19, 2011Killer sandwiches including the tuna, the Cubano, the plebian-sounding club and ham&cheese sandwich. Great for classic French baked goods, bread, and beautifully made, full-flavored ice cream. Read more
ZenFoodsterSeptember 11, 2017I keep coming back for the amazingly fresh & juicy apricot danish, Kouign Amann & almond croissants!
- Damian BayonaMarch 27, 2016Luxury at a discount. Well crafted salads and sandwiches from a world famous chef at affordable prices. Good for a quick bite before or after a show at Lincoln Center
- LilyNovember 30, 2014NYMag 2014 Food & Drink Issue: "Team Boulud bakes the baguettes and makes the charcuterie; Gallic groceries include Hervé Mons-aged cheese, Burgundy snails, and candied clementines from Corsica."
- Serious EatsMarch 5, 2013Dulce de leche and chocolate eclairs are both classically and perfectly done, which for an eclair freak is pure heaven.
April Kate 🍴November 2, 2014Love this quick grab while shopping. Very Parisian and the euros approve! I usually get a baguette with charcuterie and coffee
the cubano and DBLT are stellar here, but don't overlook the macarons- the 4-pc is perfect for slipping into your pocket on your way to movies nearby.
Jenna Odett LaskinFebruary 22, 2018Good quick bite option before a performance across the street in Lincoln Square. Sandwiches 🥪 are nice. Skip the sweets (chocolate chip 🍪 is disappointing, and madeleines are dry)
The wine bar is excellent for a quick drink and snack before attending a performance at Lincoln Center
JP BeniniJuly 18, 2013Before catching the latest blockbuster in IMAX up the block, stop in for a signature hot dog and the cocktail of the day. You won't be disappointed. They rock.
Breakfast flavor fave: Raspberry croissant (filled with chocolate Grenache). 😍
angela gaylorApril 4, 2015The sugar shortbread cookies are unreal here! They change the design for each holiday, making them a great gift!
Michael GalpertMarch 15, 2012The "Grilled Cheese Du Jour." The selection is by Anne Saxelby, one of the most talented cheese experts & affineur Hervé Mons, so there's always going to be something delicious between the bread.
Jason FosterSeptember 14, 2014The gelato was divine. Nice corner place with a variety of sandwiches, snacks, desserts, and espresso and coffee drinks
Khalid ElachiAugust 7, 2014Iced red eye with skim milk is perfect any time of the day. Pair it with a sweet like their cranberry scone
Paige CJuly 29, 2017The waiters & waitresses were lovely, however Michael Lawrence, who is the manager and director of operations happens to be the rudest person I have ever encountered at any fine dining establishment.
- Beth BatesAugust 6, 2013Amazing iced coffee and great sandwiches (I like the grilled cheese du jour made with Saxelby Cheesemongers' delicious cheeses)
Jonathan McFeatAugust 16, 2012The best iced cappuccino, made with a fresh shot of coffee chilled over ice. Great service too. Can't wait to go back!
Joan HuangAugust 18, 2013Get the canelés. they're deceptively simple looking but gloriously delicious, with chewy caramelized crusts and moist custardy insides.
Great carrot ginger soup! A bit expensive for a snack place but the quality of the food is really good.
Gitika AhujaJanuary 12, 2012The coffee is good- but room for milk basically means you get half a cup. Decadent pastries and lobster salad not to be missed. The cheese meats oysters and wine are refined. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017Bit pricey, but good, especially if you want something (salad, sandwich, etc) to take into the park and eat.- Polina WeitzApril 7, 2018Personal desserts and pastries (tarts, mousses etc.) are delicious. Great quality.
Maya Jimenez 😬July 18, 2015Great coffee and sandwiches. Get the jambon, the bread is crispy and fresh.
Always reliable UWS cafe! Directly across from Lincoln Center! Ping me for more info!
Krzysztof L.October 31, 2016Very nice coffee and croissants at wtc location! Great taste and quick service!
Dominic del PrincipeApril 13, 2013Some of the best casual dining in the UWS. Lindsay (saturdays) will treat you right. Not cheap, but you didn't expect it to be, did you?
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Take home Christine Ferber jams, made with the finest whole fresh fruit at its prime. They’re one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Their take out salads are a great option in this area of low salad spot density.- Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the lemongrass-spiked sausage banh mi, a crazy-good riff that earns its hype. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Lauren DOctober 18, 2012Nice staff; expensive everything; so-so food (Cubano=strong, porcine soup=bland); pretty good coffee-even of they skimp on it (filled half of my cappuccino cup), is still miles better than Starbucks.
NicoleJanuary 18, 2013Great European style cafe. A necessary addition to the Lincoln Center area. Well done Daniel Boulud!
Joseph BartelsJuly 8, 2018Get here before 10 and you can sit anywhere outside. (Table service starts after 1030)
Amazing fig jams, cheese and pastries - the hot dogs are a must try too!
Aviv GadotApril 28, 2015The hazelnut chocolate cookies look simple, but they are absolutely amazing!
Felipe PantojaNovember 21, 2012Cappuccino to strong and croissant too flaky. And for what I'm paying you think they can at least look you in the eye when they say "have a nice day"
Annie S.March 21, 2012Amazing macarons! Make sure to go here for Macaron Day and you can get one for free :)
