"Less than $10/item for something that a restaurant would charge $20+ for."
"Overall I will go back for more croissants and try out the cake! 5 eventually cause they were not expensive!"
"Yes the place is pricey but you get your money's worth here."
"It is a reasonable price for its size in Manhattan."
Cons:
"$8 was expensive for a mediocre choux while there are so many good ones in town."
"The fillings are way too sweet and the price is high."
"Would not pay the hefty fee for the other items, but still good!"
"For a croissant and cookie it was $14."
"The four pastries were ~$40 so I would budget accordingly."
"You might not like the prices (a bit high, although it's Manhattan afterall...)"

Cons:
"The puff was better than the eclair although still a little bit too soggy for me."
"Just a pity that the pastry layers weren’t flaky enough."
"The only reason it’s not a perfect ten was because the caramel was a little too bitter for my tastes."
