Polished French patisserie-cafe in Union Square with standout cakes and croissants, premium pricing, occasional service hiccups, and limited seating.
ONE65 delivers exceptional pastry craftsmanship—croissants and cakes that justify its Union Square reputation and inspire repeat visits. However, inconsistent service speed and coordination issues during peaks, combined with cramped seating that limits lingering, prevent the grade A territory that flawless execution would command. This is a destination for takeaway treats and quick bites rather than leisurely cafe dining.
One caveat: Coffee execution varies; flat whites and milk drinks draw mixed reactions
