La Parisienne

The bright, French-bistro vibe with cozy seating and great natural light makes it a nice place to linger. Tried the ham & cheese croissant and a fresh baguette with butter; both were excellent. Service was quick and pleasant. It got moderately busy but was still comfortable. About $17-20 per person. Solid French cafe with quality pastries and coffee.

The best croque monsieur I’ve had in New York! A small, cozy spot with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. I started my day with a fresh fruit bowl, and the fruit was incredibly flavorful and ripe.<br><br>The menu offers great options for everyone, including vegans, which is a nice touch. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast or brunch, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back next time I’m in NYC.

French Toast was delicious. Small inside sitting area. Great service. Waiters were helpful on our additional to go order.

La Parisienne is a genuine gem tucked away on Maiden Lane, and it deserves every star. The food is exceptional. The croque madame with truffle bechamel was rich and beautifully executed; that truffle addition elevates the dish from classic to memorable. The French toast was among the best I’ve ever had, full stop.<br><br>What makes this place special isn’t just the food. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable in a way that’s hard to fake and harder to find in New York.<br><br>If you’re anywhere near Lower Manhattan and haven’t been, fix that. This is the real thing.

One of the best meals in the city—hands down. I honestly can’t think of another place that does breakfast or brunch better in New York. The food is consistently incredible, every dish hits, and it’s the kind of spot you keep coming back to.

Walking into La Parisienne feels like a sudden teleportation from the frantic streets of New York's Financial District straight to a cozy corner in Paris.<br>​We visited for a morning brunch and were instantly charmed by the intimate, chic atmosphere. The space is small but incredibly inviting, making it the perfect escape for a romantic morning.

Very cute hole in the wall place. They warm up the croissant and that is awesome since it didn’t taste like freshly baked or especially tasty before they warmed it. After warming, the croissant is milky and fluffy. The egg wash is shiny which seals in moisture while gives ir a special aesthetic. Not the best croissant ever but fairly decent.

Strong bakery and breakfast/lunch spot in FiDi. We had the French toast and the salmon brioche, both well executed without being heavy. The pastry case looked properly laminated and fresh, and the savory lunch plates coming out also looked competent. Worth a stop if you are nearby.

Excellent place, the quality of the food is very good and the menu is simple and delicious. Pet-friendly — I was able to go with my service dog and we had a great time. Highly recommended, and they have a wine happy hour! 🍷

Cute, warm cafe with good cappuccino and authentic croissants, strong French vibe. It gets busy in the am but you can also sit at the counter. The service is prompt and with a good mood. A perfect place for a bite or beverage in Fidi.

INCROYABLE !!<br><br>the food was delicious, service perfect, staff members nice.<br><br>you have to try the french toast !! definitely the best one in the city ! 🌟

Such a cute little French-style brunch spot! The place is small but super cozy with a nice vibe.<br><br>Got the latte and french toast with banana, blueberries, and almond flakes — so good! Soft, not too sweet, and perfect with the coffee. The smoked salmon and avocado toast was fresh and flavorful too — love the combo with lemon and dill.<br><br>Great spot to chill, grab brunch, and enjoy some quality food and coffee. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! ☕️💙🥐

Amazing place for a quick but ultra delicious breakfast. Laid back atmosphere and perfect environment to get ready for the day! Top service. Avocado toast is highly recommended.

It was my first time in New York and stopping by this place was far the best decision. I can’t stop talking about how delicious this place was with my family back home so if you’re visiting from out of town I highly recommend.

Wonderful place with plenty of healthy options. I had the multigrain avocado toast with a side of roasted sweet potato—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Cozy, bright atmosphere that feels welcoming. Huge thanks to Dana for the warm, attentive service!
