Le Petit Paris

Founded by Anthony Le Mezec and Julien Khalaf, this Kew Gardens neighborhood favorite brings classic French baking to Queens. While the croissants and baguettes are hand-rolled with imported French butter at their Long Island City kitchen each morning, the rest of the daily selection—including seasonal tarts, savory sandwiches, and their signature Flankie—is prepared fresh in-house. The menu also features chocolate beignets, ham and cheese croissants, and harder-to-find imports like French jus de pomme. With comfortable indoor seating and custom options like wedding cakes, it serves as both a cozy local hangout and a reliable spot for special occasions.
