L’Ami Pierre is exactly the kind of fast-casual spot I look for near Times Square—clean, bright, and stocked with the essentials. The setup feels efficient without being sterile, and everything is laid out so you can get in, pick your favorites, and head back out into the city. I grabbed an almond croissant to go, and it was surprisingly delicate for a place that moves this fast—flaky layers, just the right sweetness, and still warm when I opened the bag. Their menu covers all the bases, from fresh Caesar salads to daily sandwiches, so it’s easy to mix healthy options with a quick treat. Service was quick and friendly, the space looked spotless, and despite the rush outside, it felt calm inside. For a reliable bite steps from the chaos of Times Square, L’Ami Pierre delivers.

Happy service with quality pastries!😃Great place to start a new day! 👍 I like most of them except for the croissants. Expect French size foods and drinks instead of American size ☺️😉 Nice thing about this adorable bakery/cafe is it’s plenty outdoor and indoor seatings🤩

Fantastic French bakery in the heart of NYC! We went here back in Jan 2025 before a trip to the MOMA on our last day in the city and it was a really great spot. Not cheap (like most places in NYC) but the patisserie was very authentically French, as good as I’ve had in Paris and French bakeries in London. I got the turkey and Swiss cheese savoury croissant and a pain au raisin and both were delicious. Super flakey and freshly baked. For ☕️ I then tried the not so French s’more latte which was also really tasty (very sweet and the marshmallow on top was 🤤). Whilst I was sad to have only discovered this on the last day it was probably a good thing as I had lots of places I wanted to try elsewhere.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good coffee time, and this shop reminded me of the scents and delights of my homeland, went on a trip to New York and found this gem, absolutely amazing. Will definitely recommend it

Service was excellent, lines might look long but moves pretty fast , so don’t let that hold you back from entering . The pasties are delicious ! The coffee is good however I wouldn’t rate it as one of my NY 1 coffees, but still good
