Angelina Paris
1050 6th Ave, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“This Parisian institution brings authentic French café culture to New York with a masterclass in hot chocolate that reviewers describe as "pure melted chocolate"—rich, velvety, and utterly uncompromising. Beyond the legendary beverage, Angelina excels at leisurely breakfasts and pastries like their iconic Mont Blanc chestnut cake and eclairs with silky chocolate ganache, making it the kind of place where people return year after year for the same beloved treats. The unhurried atmosphere and impeccable execution of both traditional and creative offerings make it perfect for lingering over breakfast or treating yourself to an indulgent afternoon.”

This place was everything I was hoping for! I came for a late breakfast and ordered the Angelina Breakfast with hot chocolate and the omelet. The hot chocolate was perfectly rich and delicious - the most chocolatey hot chocolate I’ve ever had. The pastries were light and flaky and the omelet was perfectly cooked. The staff was kind and attentive as well. It was a lovely experience and I’ll definitely come back sometime.
This was our first “breakfast” of the day… desserts, crepes, and coffee😂 The food was excellent! I had an eclair - it was creamy and the chocolate on top was smooth! I gave a 4/5 for service, even though the service was good… the waiter forgot to give me my card back… and gave me the wrong receipt for signature. Maybe it was his first time, but not a normal mistake. Overall, I would come back and eat at Angelina’s!
Angelina truly serves the world’s best hot chocolate—and that’s not an exaggeration. Rich, velvety, and intensely chocolatey, it’s more like sipping pure melted chocolate than a typical hot cocoa. Every sip is indulgent, smooth, and perfectly balanced, without being overly sweet. The experience itself is just as memorable. The elegant, classic atmosphere makes you slow down and savor the moment, turning a simple cup of hot chocolate into something unforgettable. It’s comfort, luxury, and tradition all in one. If you’re anywhere near Angelina and don’t try their hot chocolate, you’re genuinely missing out on one of life’s great treats. This is the kind of drink you remember long after the cup is empty. Absolutely iconic and 100% worth it. 🍫☕️
I’ve been to Angelina Café in New York twice now. I came last year and liked it so much that I decided to come back again this year. This time I visited on Christmas morning for breakfast, and it was a really special experience. The place has a cozy and charming French café vibe, and it always feels welcoming. The hot chocolate is amazing, rich and delicious, and the food is great as well, fresh pastries and really good breakfast dishes. Both times I came here I had a very good experience, and everything was well prepared and enjoyable. It’s definitely a place I recommend if you’re looking for a charming French café or a nice breakfast spot in New York City.
I absolutely love this place! Ever since I heard Angelina Paris was in NYC, I’ve been coming here whenever I’m in town. Their chestnut cake called Mont Blanc is my absolute favorite, and I grabbed a takeout this time because I was too busy to wait in line. If you have a moment, you absolutely have to try their hot chocolate at the cafe. The whole experience will be lovely. Their customer service is always fantastic, and you’ll really enjoy being there.
