Located adjacent the main entrance to the Whitney Museum of American Art, Frenchette Bakery café offers a welcoming, approachable neighborhood destination and gathering space for visitors and the local community alike. The Bakery features artisanal pastries and bread baked on site and the café showcases a seasonal and approachable menu for all to enjoy. The ground-floor café, under the direction of chef owners Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr - with culinary director and head baker, Johann Cottier, executive pastry chef, Michelle Palazzo, and executive sous chef, Zoe DeAngelis-Jimenez - combines the best of Tribeca’s Frenchette Bakery with a menu reflecting the spirit of a French café, and their nearby restaurant, Frenchette.
“Delicious coffee. Amazing and unique place. The baristas even granted a special request for me when I got in there. I wish I got their names. The two of them were awesome. Thanks for making our journey that day extra special. 🇫🇷”
“I stopped by here with my group before going into the museum and was thrilled that they had a vegan option. Beyond the one option, however, there wasn’t many other options for vegan. There is also gluten free options as well, though.”
“I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the Frenchette Bakery at Whitney Museum, Meatpacking district, NYC, USA. A very convenient café inside the Whitney Museum — perfect for a quick break during your visit. They offer a nice selection of French pastries, all beautifully made. I tried the financier, which was excellent, and a fresh organic juice that was also great. Prices are reasonable considering the location.”
“Lovely and cosy atmosphere, delicious and fresh foods, very welcoming staff. I really like the style of the handsome man at the reception. ❤️ How delicious can a scone possibly be? This was, without exaggeration, the best scone I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you.”
“This place is a paradise. An extension of the museum, kind of its own museum really since I believe food is art and lord, THIS food. With a menu like this it was tough to choose but I could not have asked for anything better than these beets and butternut squash soup in this bonkers January weather. I love a savory yogurt, they nailed it here, really every ingredient was used so smartly- these people just know how to put a plate together. I'll be honest the tuna sandwich didn't blow me out of the water. It was just okay. But the bread was unbelievable, which of course it was, because this BAKERY. That little green ray of heaven you see pictured there is a Paris-Brest A La Pistache and when I tell you it rocked my world people it rocked my world. We went back the next day to get another and I'm gonna be tearing my way through the rest of their patisserie menu. I didn't catch the name of our waitress but she was a beautiful human being, just one of those fabulous caring people that you just want to throw your arms around and thank for making you think the world might be alright. I didn't get good pictures of the interior but the actual space is stunning, very tasteful, natural light and all that, we sat by the window and watched the snow fall. Great spot all around. Glad I found another gem.”
