Pierre & Michel Authentic French Bakery

"Stopped in to pick up a few pastries from here one rainy Saturday afternoon. I had this place on my list but we're never really in this area but one day, the stars aligned and I remembered I still wanted to try it. It was kind of late - almost 3 pm so they didn't seem to have a lot of choices. We ended up getting a berry tart and a saint honoré. They were really good because they weren't too sweet. The whipped cream on the outside was a little too much for me but I LOVED the custard (?) -like filling on the inside. But then again, I just love custard. I'll have to come back earlier next time to see if they have additional offerings because according to their menu, they do. It says they have macarons but I didn't see any on display. Note - there's a 3% surcharge if you use CC"

"It’s my favorite bakery. The cakes, bread, croissants are delicious. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to dine in tasting the French atmosphere but maybe one day…"

"All I can say is that you must go there and taste their pastry yourself. So far I have been using their services for over a year and I never got disappointed. I buy birthday cakes for each of my staff members for their birthday and it gets better and better each time. I also buy their croissants Yummy. The staff is very friendly, the owner is so professional and helpful, many times he accepted my last minute order or changes and finished them in time and the best part is their coffee. I definitely recommend this place 5 ⭐️ over all from goods to customer service to staff member to hygiene and to location as well and if I am not wrong they just open a 4th location."

"Hailed from Paris and trained at the famed French house Lenôtre, my partner and I have returned to the original location after 3 years on a busy Broadway in Elmwood Park named after themselves. Pierre & Michel Authentic French Bakery is our go-to place when it comes to authentic pastries. They use French techniques and imported-from-France butter and chocolate to create their baked goods. We decided on the Pain Suisse, Chocolate Croissant, Lemon Tart with Merengue, and Peach Tart. Everything remained delicious as our first visit . The bakery has since grown to include Ridgewood, Somerville, and their newest, Upper Saddle River, and hopefully you will visit one of them and thank us."

"Couple of weeks ago, we visited Pierre Michel Bakery randomly and were impressed by their delicate flavor of almond croissant. We detoured to get some pastries in the past weekend but almost everything was sold out at 8am and here are what we got. The decor looks humble but they bake one of the best croissants in NYC/NJ. It’s crispy and flaky with beautiful layers. We love their almond croissant so much but unfortunately we only got their almond chocolate croissant this time."
