Birley Bakery

“Oh wow, I don't know if these are special croissants or if no one else knows how to make them. I love how crunchy, fluffy, and layered their croissants are, and the cinnamon flavor was next level amazing. The Thai salad was tasty; with the smoked chicken it was quite a nice snack for fueling up. Our service felt a little slow, but we were treated with lots of kindness. The whole spot it artful and a delight for the senses! Yes, it is on the pricier side. Dare I say, it's worth it.”

“Such a chic patisserie in the Upper East Side! Close to Central Park and museums, it's a great stop after a nice walk in the neighborhood. Very large offer of viennoiseries, cakes, ice cream, chocolates and more - home made, of course. I tried the apple pie and it was just amazing - delicate, crunchy, flavorful. The chocolate section would make a perfect gift for a loved one. There is a tea room upstairs, which I didn't get to check out. Staff is lovely and patient - great service!”

“This small bakery/restaurant is a little hidden jewel tucked between brownstones on the Upper East side. It's a perfect "New York neighborhood experience" for anyone who wants to feel like a local. The upstairs restaurant is small, but beautifully decorated, and very Parisian. The staff were all attentive and friendly. I loved the power bowl with fresh fruit, nuts and passionfruit sauce. The Croissant was warm and flaky, paired with a cappuccino tasting straight out of Italy. The atmosphere is cozy and chic. I felt perfectly comfortable dining solo. I will visit again.”
