Pâtisserie Vanessa is located in its flagship and first location – in the heart of storied Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, just a few steps away from Museum Mile. When you enter this lovely, historic row house, you truly feel that you are being welcomed into the Maison Vanessa and transported to the South of France. There is the delicious aroma of pastries baking in the background, the ambience is warm and inviting and everything that happens is inspired by what is true to Vanessa’s heart.

The unmistakable, irresistible aroma of
butter and happiness and here and now

 the wafting warmth of an opening oven

the eyes of delight,
textures that surprise

sublime, indescribable taste
that stops you,
to savor quietly 

the hidden stories of years and places and love
and persistence and sweetness 

not too sweet but somehow just right
and

hands

 stirring and shaping and rolling and pouring
and arranging and wrapping
and waving 

Hello, Welcome, Bonjour!
