Great café with a wide variety of options. Both pastries and savory items were delicious! The pastries were not overly sweet, so they were enjoyable all the way to the last bite. My favorites were the Smoked Salmon in Challah Roll and the Tarte Bourdaloue! The coffee was excellent as well, with a rich and well made espresso. The space is large, comfortable, and very relaxing! It feels like a place where you can really take your time, and it seems perfect for both families with kids and casual dates.

★★★★★ La Farine Pâtisserie et Café is such a beautiful little French café on the Upper West Side. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and perfect for a slow coffee and pastry moment. Everything felt very Parisian, from the presentation to the flavors. I tried their pastries and coffee, and they were absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully made. The space itself is minimal, cozy, and ideal whether you want a quiet morning, a quick coffee stop, or a relaxed catch-up. The team was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. Thank you for having me, I truly enjoyed every bite and the overall ambiance. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a chic French café experience in NYC. ☕🥐

Absolutely loved it here! The sandwiches and pastries were good, no surprise there, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the drinks. I didn’t expect to love them as much as I did, and honestly… I’m craving them as I type this. From the refreshing mountain berry tea to the mint tea, none of the drinks were too sweet or overpowering. Especially since I usually dislike mint, this was such a wonderful surprise. I will say, it is such a beautiful space, and because people really love it, it does tend to fill up. There may be a bit of a wait time for seating, but it’s honestly understandable given the atmosphere. I do agree with some other comments I’ve seen that the croissant could definitely be softer, and a few bread edges were a bit hard to bite into. However, this wasn’t an issue for me, more so just constructive feedback. What truly won me over, though, wasn’t even the wonderful food or drinks; it was the hospitality. Absolutely unmatched. The staff is genuinely lovely: so kind, welcoming, and clearly happy to be there. They make you feel comfortable right away, especially in a new environment. The energy is radiant, warm, and unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back ✨

La Farine is a lovely cafe on the Upper West Side with so many freshly baked pastries and delicious coffee. It’s a good spot to grab a few treats to-go and perhaps sit in the park nearby, but there is also an upstairs seating area for chatting and some people doing work as well. The staff were very friendly and everything was served quickly. Would definitely come back for another visit if I was nearby!

Such a great find! This bakery is so spacious and bright with a decent amount of seating on the second floor. Truly the perfect place to grab a coffee and pastry, catch up with friends, solo date, or get some work done. My favorite bite was definitely the smoked Gouda and butternut squash quiche- this is probably the best which I’ve ever had in the city. The chocolate chip cookie was also a favorite. We decided to pick up an olive sourdough loaf for home and thought it was so chewy and tasty as well.
