French Pastry Beneath a Grand Chandelier
Find airy meringues, coffee, and upstairs seating at this Manhattan bakery near Bryant Park.
✨ A Pastry Counter Worth Lingering
At 1001 6th Avenue, Aux Merveilleux de Fred stocks its counter with fresh baguettes, croissants, brioche, and airy meringues, plus a dense bread pudding cut in large portions. Coffee and savory snacks round out the order for anyone after more than a sweet bite.
A grand chandelier hangs over the room, and the refined interior is built for slowing down. Upstairs seating gives space to stay with a coffee and a meringue instead of taking everything to go, and Bryant Park sits a short walk away for a pastry break outdoors.
The pastry shop is open daily from 7 AM to 9 PM, an early start for a weekday coffee run and a late close for an evening treat. Save room for the namesake merveilleux, the melt in your mouth house specialty, or order online ahead for a quick pickup on the way.
