The bakery for the well-known Balthazar restaurant in the city. Wonderful breads, pastries, and desserts.

After my walk at the palisades park, I wanted to stop by and purchase something to eat when I came across this bakery from Yelp. From the outside, it looked like a small factory and once you enter it looked so modern and filled with delicious baked goods. The aroma of the baked breads immediately hit you, I just knew this spot was going to be delicious. I knew I wanted something savory so I purchased a ham and cheese on a croissant which was so buttery and so flavorful. I also purchased a blueberry cheese danish which is my go to and it was fantastic as well as a coffee for my mother. The staff was fast, helpful and cheerful. Location is small and no inside seating more like a grab and go style. This place was awesome and can't wait to come back again when in the area.

Really nice, cozy location with lots of bakery options. Four stars for the ambiance and quickness of service, but taking off one star because the price is sooo high. I got a croissant and baguette which were okay but I spent like $10 for a tiny meat mince pie and the mince pie wasn't even delicious. I don't think I'll be back unfortunately.

Much better experience these times! Last week I tried the everything croissant, ham and cheese croissant, and the cardamom bun. I loved all of these! The croissants are super flaky, not greasy. I didn't realize the everything croissant was stuffed, which probably should be indicated. I heated up the ham and cheese croissant a bit when I got home. I was especially surprised by how much I liked the cardamom bun. I think it was the addition of sugar. I wouldn't hesitate to order any of these again! Went back this week to give their almond croissant another try and I also tried the apple galette ($10 for both items). The almond croissant is rather large. It doesn't have much filling. I'm still not a huge fan. The apple galette was very good. The apples were soft and sweet. It was never terribly busy on each of my visits. I was able to park in their lot. There was always an employee available to take an order. Someone always asked if you needed help or were being helped already. Now I may continue going back each week so I can continue to try all the offerings!

Welcome to Paris. Haven't had anything that wasn't spectacular. Fabulous savory & sweet baked goods. Very special and no air fare. I'd like to move in.

This is not your local cafe hangout. Come to think of it, I don't even think they sell coffees or any other beverage. There are no seats, no tables, and only a little bit of standing room. But this is HEAVEN for all carb connoisseurs. Most of the building seems to be dedicated to (1) on-site equipment and (2) a small storefront where goods are prettily displayed behind a glass wall. And then a teeny, tiny area where you stand in line and salivate as you await your turn. Trying to decide what to get is difficult, since you don't get to see what's actually available until you get to the front of the line, and then you have to make some quick decisions while the rest of the line waits and harrumphs behind you. I've had a ton of their croissants (the regular was flaky and delicious, the almond tasted like millions of almonds died in the making of it, and the flan was just as if a plate of flan and croissant had a baby). The beloved kouign-amann is a croissant-like flaky pastry with a creme brûlée crackling top. The monkey bread is hopelessly moreish. Suffice it to say, I've been eating my way through Balthazar little by little, and nothing has disappointed. If you're in the area and consider yourself a lover of bread or pastry, this is a must-visit. Parking is extremely limited, but there's a high turnover rate of cars since most people are leaving right after they purchase. Lines can be long, but move pretty quickly.

I've known about this place for years, thanks to a fellow - foodie. And since I needed a dessert for dinner at my mother's, I figured this would be the day I finally make the trek to Englewood (8 miles away=30 minutes in Jersey Time) Thankfully, I left the house early and got there a few minutes after they opened. A line already formed inside the tiny, yet cozy bakery / storefront in one. With so many choices on what to get (breads, pastries, croissants & danishes, pies, cakes, muffins & scones). The folks working the counter were very friendly, and worked at a relaxed pace. The displays were stocked full and when they got low, a pleasant older woman re-stocked what was depleted. An army of bakers were in he back moving around rolling racks and tending to the ovens. I bought a loaf of cranberry pecan batard, a kouign-amann, and a fresh cherry pie. The bread is fantastic and the kouign was one of the best I've ever had. Both...still warm. Bring money and lots of patience. You'll need it, if you go later in the day

What can I say about Balthazar's bakery that people don't already know... Except the fact that despite the long minds during the holidays, it's still a hidden gem serving up some of the best baked goods in Bergen County. For the moment you park your car and walk out the door, you'll get hit with a waft of buttery delicious goodness that's baking just steps away. You'll try your very best not to want to eat and purchase everything. The staff there are all very nice, but understand that when it's busy, they don't have time to chitchat. I also highly suggest that while waiting on line that you appreciate the clean, warm, and inviting brick showroom and all the wonderful choices of breads, pastries, and quiches (amongst other things).

Bon Jour! This is one of the best bakeries in NYC. I just added this to the 10 top tourist attractions in Manhattan. It's 8:30 am on a Sunday and I'm sitting in my car enjoying a hot and delicious cup of their famous coffee after a 3 1/2 hour drive up from DC. I've been a regular since 1997 and this is a must stop for everyone for their: 1) Amazing croissants - plain, almond, chocolate and ham n cheese today. 2) Bread- the sourdough is the best! 3) 'Best chocolate chip walnut cookies in the world. 4) Really nice sandwich selection with everything from Tuna Nicoise to Salmon to Mediterranean. 5) The tartines - that French bread, that butter and the beautiful jam. 6) Quality! 7) Attention to detail - cleanliness, hospitality and just check out the beautiful work on the pastries. 8) Warm staff - 2 great kids working today who were sweet and fun. 9) East access now with parking available on Spring St. ( meters on Sat, free Sun). 10) 7 day availability for these gorgeous items. My buddy is saying that price wise they hit you with a hammer on the head but hey - this is Balthazar's - the best, consistent and solid baked goods plus we are in SoHo in NYC. All I can do is keep smiling and loving on these cookies.
