Pomme Palais

The chocolate cake was good and the pistachio éclair was amazing! I loved how the éclair wasn’t as sweet as I expected. The sweetness wasn’t overpowering. The chocolate cake got sweeter and sweeter as I kept eating it. The taste of coffee was very nice! Very nice café!

After grabbing brunch in the city I wanted to grab dessert and coffee some place quickly so I ran into here after seeing it on Unilocal.Firstly, the place is very pristine. Everything is in place and clean. It’s very white with red accents, a very bright place. It is definitely a vibe and mood that is comfortable to sit in. They have some lunch sandwiches in a fridge that I saw on the way in so that’s an option. They have a super cute display of macaroons, small cakes, and dessert.
What they provided which I don’t think is too common is various flavors of eclairs, at least that’s what it looked like. They looked gorgeous and it was pretty different, my friend took them home and gave them a ⁶⁄₁₀. She had the macaroons which she said were promising and I had a chocolate cake with a passion fruit filling. That was very, very good. I took home a lemon merangue which wasn’t that amazing. I had tea there which was excellent. It’s a great place to sit down and grab a coffee with a small bite, but I wouldn’t go there strictly for the food. Very gorgeous place with a very energetic and kind staff!

The pastries here are to die for! We had the Apple Strudel an the Vanilla Napoleon we so good we went back the next day. I highly recommend Pomme Palais if you want to taste the Best pastries in NYC
Very clean and excellent staff

SO YUMMY! Intimate little bakery with sweet treats. The red velvet éclair was decadent and creamy! A macchiato was the perfect pairing. Great for a quick sweet stop!

Midtown east is a luxury neighborhood
Watch all those bankers, dressing like kings but acting like beasts.
Location: «Pomme Palais evokes a jewel-​box of a French market unleashed in a cheery and imaginative setting. Michel’s next generation of pastry shop is filled with an array of sweet and savory treats, specialty snacks, beverages, and gift items. Located at 51^st and Madison Avenue, Pomme Palais serves breakfast, lunch, and dessert options in a casual sit-​down setting» quote from Pomme Palais official website
Bakery: I have a hard time choosing which one I would like to eat. Why one? Oh, considering someone gained 9 pounds over the break, she does want to lose some water weights. So sweets should be minimized. So I asked the girl what she likes the most. She recommended their all-​time-​favorite chocolate éclair, chocolate napoleon with hazelnut crust, and raspberry tart. I decide to give a try on this chocolate napoleon. It was delicious. Although it was hard to cut, (the crust is really resilient) I however managed to use all my strength without embarrassing myself in front of my future coworkers. The first bite immersed me within the chocolate ocean (cocoa ocean?) It was well made. Next, the hazelnut crust is crispy and balanced well with the extra chocolate WOW, so delicious. It was exactly like something I had back in Paris.
Price: everything is above 7 dollars. Although the piece is bit small, all pastries are classic and delicious. Maybe you should just ignore the price and enjoy this luxury flavor.
I will be back soon, trying something new!
Overall: 4 stars

Located inside the Lotte Palace Hotel. Conveniently opens at 6:30 A.M. Great selection of baked goods and they serve illy coffee! I had the bacon, egg and cheese on brioche bread. The peppered bacon made this sandwich, only wish they used a real fried egg, instead of the fluffy egg mix.

The customer service in the shop is amazing! The staff is super friendly and accommodating.
The coffee is very good and there is a decent variety of milks and toppings (nutmeg, chocolate, vanilla powder). They also have a huge selection of cakes and cookies. The macarons looked really good but we didn’t indulge (this time).
The croissant and gingerbread cookies are very good. The shop is very clean and constantly being restocked.
I would definitely recommend.

It’s easy to walk by Pomme Palais because it’s a small pastries and french viennoiseries (croissants, pains, au chocolat, etc) café on the side street of the Palace Hotel and not easy to see what is inside by looking at the window.
I decided to visit after looking them up on Unilocal and seeing a great looking Red Velvet Cheese cake at the first photo on the Unilocal site.
After going inside the place looks good and has a nice fresh atmosphere and a real friendly staff. They don’t have a lot of items to pick from but what they do have all looks delicious.
I got the Red Velvet Cheese cake to share it with coworkers since I only wanted to taste it,
OMG!!!
It was so good I wish I kelp it all to myself instead, now I have to go back to get another.

Cute dessert + coffee inside the Lotte Palace. Good place to stop by for some sugar therapy. Desserts are $ 7-​$ 9 range and coffee is $ 3-​$ 5 range. they have couple tables to sit down and there is also a hotel lounge across this place. This place close early at 5 pm.

I found this place while walking NYC. Its kind of easy to miss as its right next to the impressive New York Palace hotel.
First of all when you walk in, the place is clean, open and has a very welcoming feeling. The colors and decoration inside are really nice.
Choosing what I wanted to order was extremely difficult since all the cakes looked incredibly good. I ended up ordering the red velvet cheesecake and WOW!!! Words cannot describe how amazing this was. I bought two and I honestly contemplated hiding it and not sharing it with the family. It literally just melts in your mouth and all the creaminess and texture bring an explosion of flavors to your palate. I must say hands down the best dessert I have ever had in my life.
If you are in the area you have to stop by. While its on the expensive side when it comes to dessert, at the end of the day this is New York. However, its worth every penny.

This bakery will blow you away with it’s pretty pink prettiness right out of Paris! Tucked in the lobby of the Lotte New York Palace hotel, you will want to stop in for your favorite steamed coffee, espresso, cold pressed juice or smoothie, or delicious baked treat. You can’t go wrong with any selection and I found I wanted to try something new each visit! I was welcomed with a box of macaroons when entering my hotel room for the first time. Each flavor was pure, delicious goodness! Looking forward to visiting this bakery again in December. They open at 6am, so try to fight the urge of going across the street to Starbucks earlier. This place is SO worth it!

The Pomme Palais is a hidden gem tucked away in the financial district of midtown Manhattan. From the moment you step in, you feel transported to a different place in time. Its décor and ambiance harmoniously fuse Mediterranean culture with modern NY glam. The baristas are always friendly and delightful, especially Omar. What an enthusiastic and charming young man!
Now…the food! I am on my fifth breakfast burrito (that’s one a day not 5 in a row), and each one magically tantalizes my taste buds in a different way. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth the splurge. It’s filling, but not heavy or greasy. My second favorite breakfast meal is their blueberry protein bar! It is a meal, and it will energize you properly.
What about the beverages?
Before summer ends, you have to try the watermelon lemonade! It’s cool and refreshing, and balanced: not sour, not sweet, not tart. It’s just right!
The hot chai latte is always a wonderful treat!

My husband and I stayed at the New York Palace for a couple days. We went into Pomme Palais for a quick breakfast. The gentlemen at the counter were fantastic! They greeted us promptly, made suggestions, and we even had a sample of macaroons ! I chose the birthday cake macaron delish!
The men seemed to enjoy their customers and were very attentive. We appreciated the samples and our Croque Monsieur was Better than we’ve had in Paris!
Thank you Pomme Palais !

I love this place although the prices are so expensive (even for the area) and I keep it for special occasions (6 $ for an éclair! come on!). Good pastries and viennoiseries (croissants, pains au chocolat, etc), good coffee drinks. Can get crowded in the morning and the barista always seems slow but worth it for a breakfast treat.

Delicious bakeries! A client bought some to my office as a thank you to us. I tried the Almond Croissant and was very impressed. Its flaky on the outside and doughy on the inside with a light almond paste and almond shavings on the outside. Its just delightful. Pairs nicely with coffee. Its very very good and not too sweet as I thought. The macaroons are soooo gooooood too! Pretty pricey but so good.

You’ll find love in the form of a vanilla latte here. Come for the coffee and stay longer for all the pastries they have including delicious macaroons.
I was in NYC for a business trip, I had this shop on my list of must go places and I’m so ecstatic I made it in. I am a complete coffee lover and I’ll admit it when I am a bit of a «coffee snob» (especially when it comes to the unworthy Keurig machines, but that’s another story). I absolutely loved the vanilla latte that I euphorically enjoyed with each drop that hit my taste buds. Those lucky lucky taste buds haha. Ok I know it may seem like I’m exaggerating but my barista got this cup incredibly right.
There were plenty of sweet treats available to keep your coffee company and from the large amount of people in there I knew it must’ve been good. I ordered a pack of 12 macaroons for a friend back home that I was able to protect from crumbling on my flight back and I heard they were delicious.
It is located in the lobby of the hotel with access from the street if you don’t want to walk through the hotel lobby. The staff is friendly and the décor is lovely.
I am kicking myself for not trying it earlier in my trip because if I had I would’ve tried to go back every day. If I am lucky to be back in NYC soon I will be reunited with another vanilla latte and a few pastries.

Lovely place … but an $ 8 piece of cheesecake that fits in the palm of your hand? Only while on holiday. Packaging is upscale and fitting to provide something like this as a gift.

We were trying to see the Rockefeller Tree lighting ceremony but it was a madhouse and they already close 5^th Ave. So we just stopped for a dessert by the New York Palace Hotel. We split a raspberry tart with pistachio cream. The crunch of the crust and the smooth cream, and tang of the fresh fruit made for a decadent but light dessert. The staff wore brown uniform, a frilly white apron, and a beret which I am sure the tourists love. They were very cheerful and attentive. The place didn’t have a tv to watch the tree lighting and it was way too bright so we’re directed to the lounge area. Overall the place was good.

I was on my way back to my hotel traveling on business and decided to pick up some late night snacks.
Food:
Raspberry Meringues — Very strong raspberry flavor while maintaining a light airy texture. Unfortunately, it was very very sour which was a bit off-​putting.
Tulles — Paper thin and lots of nuts. I thought it was a decent tulle and what you would expect
Hot Cocoa — Standard. No comment here.
Service:
Polite and helpful but not very warm.
Overall, it was just okay to ‘I’ve experienced better’. It was in line with standard NYC prices (so expensive in my book) so I suggest trying some other options if you can.

What an adorable little place!
First of all, it’s located on lower level of the posh New York Palace Hotel — easy to find, wonderful place to walk through. You can get to Pomme Palais from hotel lobby, or from their own entrance on 51^st.
You cannot miss it, considering it bright and cheery fuchsia color, and clean, modern design. Their logo is pretty recognizable, too.
Staff is extremely courteous and helpful, and so cute in those uniforms!
Good macchiato, decent eclairs — and exceptional macarons. Not only those macarons simply delectable, they are beautifully done and come in a goooorgeous gift box. Perfect gift. You know it.
