Cannelle Patisserie

Cannelle Patisserie is a treasure that can only be found in the global mosaic known as Queens. Its customers arrive all morning from all over the world, such as Haiti, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Colombia and more. Pastry Chef Jean Claude Perennou and Gnanasampanthan Sabaratratnam (Samba) found each other at the Waldorf-Astoria where they worked for over a decade. Today, they have a thriving bakery that features elegant, fine pastries including simple croissants or the almond croissant, which is truly like no other. Cannelle has brought us all a step closer to Paris as the crusts are flaky where necessary, the sumptuous puffy brioches split and filled with pastry cream and exquisite napoleons.
