French bakery and cafe, Margot Patisserie, has announced it will be closing this month. The lease is ending and “Our last day of sale is tentatively set on 5/22/22, Sunday,” reads a message on margotnyc.com.
The eatery will continue to take online orders through its last day. You can place an order here.
Located on the ground level of The Ansonia on 74th and Broadway, Margot has been a popular destination for its sweet and savory treats since it opened its doors in 1994.
Some popular plates included Margot’s Croque Monsieur; Smoked Salmon Toast; Avocado Toast; Zucchini, Tomato and Goat Cheese Quiche; and its Herb Chicken Puff Pastry Pie.
Sweets included cakes, pies, tarts, macarons, eclairs and more.
Zagat described Margot Patisserie as a “hidden gem known for its French artisanal style pastries and café menu for locals and tourists.”
This is sad news indeed…
Oh no!!!! They have the BEST pastries and such delicious soups….. 🙁
Why isn’t anyone picking up the lease???
I never like to read that a small business is closing its doors. However, the small lady that has run this place for the past few years couldn’t have been more nasty towards her customers. Read the Yelp reviews. I’m not sure if she was the owner or simply the store manager, but she definitely contributed to the downfall of this cafe.
What Brian said…have loved the place for years — her management style – not so much.
The best cranberry scones I’ve ever had! Order some to keep in my freezer. Margot will be missed….
Good tuna
Nice little spot
I really miss cafe la fortuna
Another one bites the dust
Noooooo! So sad to lose this gem. Tuna on baguette was the best. Loved getting free cookies with every third or fourth purchase.
Margot’s product – wonderful. But in recent few years RUDE service.
Questionable management – opening at 11 instead of 7 – closing Sundays instead of
Mondays. When every other outdoor seating in the neighborhood was available –
they didn’t put the chairs out…………..”too cold” ……LET THE CUSTOMER DECIDE
