Walking in, I caught a glimpse of a sign that says Yelpers love them. They know they're good and they got credentials to back it up. Jean-Claude Perennou, the mastermind behind Cannelle, hails from Brittany and is a pastry wizard. He's not just any pastry chef; in 2003, Forbes ranked him fifth among the ten best pastry chefs in the country. Yeah, you read that right. He was the former executive pastry chef at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel before deciding to bless us mortals with Cannelle Patisserie. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The service? Top-notch. The staff? Super kind and attentive. And the dessert? It left me absolutely SHOOK. The place is cozy and inviting with its minimalist decor, perfect for enjoying a quiet moment with your sweet treat. The dessert display is a visual feast - rows of delectable pastries that make it hard to choose. I felt like a kid in a candy store, wanting to try... everything! But I decided to be a responsible adult (whatever that means) and control myself. I limited myself to two options: the Strawberry Shortcake and the Vanilla/Passionfruit Panna Cotta. * Strawberry Shortcake ($6) Dense, smooth, and SO CREAMY, with a big, JUICY strawberry hidden in center. Cliché alert: it was like biting into a little piece of heaven. The layers of cake and cream were perfectly balanced and it was not too sweet (oh yeah!). * Vanilla/Passionfruit Panna Cotta ($6.5) This was a flavor explosion! VERY tart, slightly sour, and an extra crunch from the seeds - absolute perfection. The vanilla panna cotta was smooth and creamy, a perfect counterbalance to the tangy passionfruit. And bonus points: it came in a beautifully decorated glass bottle, which means I now have a fancy new container to hoard... I mean, reuse. And the best part? This place is UNDER 10 mins away from my house! Never have I ever been this proud to live in East Elmhurst before. Absolute tears of joy! :,) Thank you Jean-Claude Perennou! Edit: Just tried their almond croissant and it was lovely -- crunchy, perfectly sweet, and life-changing. Might be my favorite. My younger sister mentioned that she's not usually a fan of croissants but she has fully converted. Brought some home for my parents and they both nodded in approval despite it being a tad too sweet for them. Definitely a MUST try!

Needed to buy a small birthday cake around the Woodside area and decided on a 6" strawberry shortcake from Cannelle Patisserie based on Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint! Midafternoon on a Monday, the store was surprisingly busy. It is actually very spacious with some tables for dine in customers. I waited in line for a little bit while admiring all the goodies on display. The store was nice and clean; and the display looked very appetizing. The staff were very courteous and friendly. I asked for a 6" strawberry shortcake with "Happy Birthday" on it. It was brought out from the kitchen very efficiently. The cake was absolutely delicious! It had a lot of strawberries inside and was not too sweet. It was also very nicely decorated. I am glad I found Cannelle Patisserie and I highly recommend it!

Many years ago I had visited Cannelle Patisserie with a chef who raved about this place. Today I returned to have a Strawberry Shortcake ($6) and an Espresso ($2). These prices are unheard of in Manhattan. With seating available, I was able to savor each morsel of the chilled pastry. Service was efficient and I was able to use the unisex restroom before eating. The interior is bright with white walls and feels airy. Now this patisserie cafe is much smaller in size and the abundance of cakes and pastries is far less although the original chefs are still working here. Next visit I want to have the Palmiers which were glistening and the Vanilla Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. I was keen on taking these home but had a long journey back and with the humidity and heat these delicate desserts would not arrive in shipshape form.

My friend gifted me a Strawberry Short Cake from Cannelle Patisserie for my birthday. This cake was delicious with its' layers of fresh strawberries, vanilla cake, and British butter cream. It was moist and each bite was luscious. The 6 inches cake has about 6-8 servings. Cannelle Patisserie is a French bakery with locations in Jackson Heights and Long Island City. My friend said this is one of her favorite bakeries and I can completely understand why. Everyone needs to try their Strawberry Short Cake.
