From pastries to mousse to ice cream, New York has got you covered.
Financier Patisserie locations all over New York offer a variety of pastries including the Opera: a coffee buttercream, chocolate ganache and espresso soaked almond cake with chocolate glaze.

On National Coffee Day they’ll be handing out a free small cup of Financier Patisserie’s new Dark Roast with every purchase. financierpastries.com
