This was one of the worst teaing places I've been too. I can't believe they call themselves french. They served domino sugar with their coffee and had pastries that were mediocre at best. For an "upscale" and pricey place I would of expect nothing less than cube sugars. As for service they were even worse, we had to flag a waiter down to get seated and while they were serving us they were constantly reaching over me. Pros: cute store front Cons: expensive and horrible tea sandwiches and pastries

This lovely French chocolatier is a fantastic place to spend your Valentine's Day. With everything decorated in pink, and chocolates and great food, what's not to love? I guess the prices are kind of steep, and the cakes look much better than they taste, but the rest of the food in the small cafe part of the store is surprisingly incredible. Sit down, feel French, and enjoy the day with your sweetheart.

...wrapped in pink & brown (a color scheme I favor). Popping in here for tea can be difficult (not many tables, $$$, poorly lit - but the food is good), but you may always browse through the merchandise. Fauchon offers a wide array of confections for the big spender. Their boxes make a lovely hostess gift or wedding favor. Expensive.

Fauchon the venerable French firm exploded onto the New York scene a few years back opening up 3 stores. They have since closed two and only have the Park Ave shop left. The packaged food is good not great although they make a nice piece of marzipan. If you sit down to eat be prepared to be annoyed. The sevice is slow and the servers seem disinterested in your existence. This is a shame as they can actually make a nice pot of tea and the tables are lovely looking. It's just that the table service is terrible.

Fauchon's chocolates and pastries are delicious. The price is a little steep but well worth it. Service is a little slow..so be sure that if you go, you are not in a hurry.

Forget the shop, the best reason to come to Fauchon is to have high tea, and there is no cuter place in the city to do it! The salon is a delicate pink and gold jewelbox, and the treat are outstanding. If you love chocolate with hazelnut, you won't want to miss the Papilotte. Coffee lovers will adore the Opera pastery. They also have divine croissants (well they are French after all!) Pros: Great pasteries, Cute environment, Wonderful Croissants Cons: Expensive

Fauchon, the famous French tea & pastry house opened in New York! Don't miss Fauchon's grand pastry classic: the "macaron" in chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla or Earl Gray flavors... But also their pastries, chocolates, candied fruit, gourmet preserves and condiments (great cocoa mustard), as well as their extraordinary tea blends. You can buy from the shop or sit down in the tea house (an exact replica of the original Salon de Thé in Paris) for a the complete French experience. They recently added a deli section with top quality smoked salmon, quiches, foie gras sandwiches, etc. My personal favorites: the chocolate macaron (filled with a chocolate ganache!) and the Fauchon Blend tea. Take it from a French gourmet, Fauchon will be very nice to your tastebuds! It's also a great place for gifts, the packaging is beautiful and they have wonderful seasonal products for the holidays, Valentine's Day, Easter... Pros: Excellent, Unique, French luxury Cons: Expensive, A little slow
