Parisian tea house vibes w/ decadent hot choc & pastries. Famous French sweets, cute ambiance.
Angelina, an NYC outpost of a famed Parisian tea house, offers a luxurious yet accessible French patisserie experience. It's particularly celebrated for its decadent hot chocolate and an array of exquisite pastries. While many items receive high praise, some diners note that the famous Mont Blanc might not live up to the hype for everyone, though the mille-feuille is often a standout. The ambiance is noted as cute and Parisian, making it a lovely spot for a sweet indulgence.
Angelina offers a French-inspired menu with a strong emphasis on pastries and hot chocolate. Their hot chocolate is frequently highlighted as a must-try, known for its richness.
