"Wonderful find in midtown. The baguettes are on point, a thin crunch on the outside with a very moist and airy medium. The jambon beurre is the top top top recommendation, with a lovely fatty butter and a tangy mustard and a thinly sliced meat that work perfectly together. The country pâte had those great moist chunks of meat and fat and flavor, soft enough for the baguette but not a paste as is often found in NYC. The drip coffee was on point, actually being not too hot with the water. The atmosphere is great, with a front part for the quick socialization and a back part for the deeper chats. Use the front to work or to say hi quickly. If you need to give dating advice or career advice, get some coffee and sandwiches and go to the back. The staff are excellent and ensure the area is clean, making the cafe easy to enjoy. For coffee nerds, I was told Tuesdays are when you can get the pourovers (their lineup looks legit). Highly highly recommend, this will be a place I visit frequently as long as I work in midtown."

"Pavé was such a lovely surprise in the middle of busy Midtown. It’s a small, cozy place that instantly makes you feel relaxed, a perfect escape from the usual city madness just a few steps away. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, the kind of service that makes you want to stay a bit longer. Breakfast was excellent, beautifully prepared, and the coffee was really good - exactly what you need to start a New York day properly. We liked it so much that we actually went back a second time, which says it all. If you’re looking for a calm, charming spot with great breakfast and coffee in Midtown, Pavé is definitely worth a visit"

"Pavé in Midtown is such a lovely escape from the Midtown rush. I ordered the passion fruit brioche and the green tea scone — both were delicate and beautifully made. The brioche had a soft, buttery crumb with just the right touch of tropical tang from the passion fruit, not overly sweet but full of flavor. The green tea scone was fragrant and slightly earthy, perfectly balanced with a tender texture instead of being dry like most scones. The space itself feels calm and refined, filled with the scent of freshly baked bread and espresso. Service is friendly but relaxed, and everything feels quietly confident. A perfect spot to pause and treat yourself to something genuinely well-crafted."

"Amazing cafe - spot on food, service, and vibe. We absolutely loved it. Order at counter - lots of choices from pastries to sandwiches. Plenty of seating in back with cosy vibe. Service was friendly and personal. Food was excellent - we loved the sandwich with melted cheese and ham… genuine raclette by the kitchen. Very cool. Highly recommend."

"Loved the croissant, which was springy and fluffy and highly aromatic due to the Bordier butter. For me, the canele’s interior was a bit too loose, and the paté tasted perfect on its own but needed a pinch more salt when sandwiched in a baguette."
