If you’ve visited France, then you’re probably familiar with the wraparound lines surrounding the century-old Parisian cafe, Angelina.
Lucky for all you Paris enthusiasts, and girls who swear “abroad changed me,” the renowned tearoom and pastry house is making its way to NYC for a limited time only.
Yes, we’re talking about the Angelina, home to arguably the most famous hot chocolate in all of Europe.
And now New Yorkers are getting a taste.
The famed patisserie is bringing its signature Parisian luxury tearoom and pastry experience to L’Avenue at Saks, marking the first and only venture for the restaurant outside of Paris.
“Founded in 1903 by Austrian confectioner Antoine Rumpelmayer and named after his daughter-in-law, Angelina Paris has offered hot chocolate made from the finest ingredients, fresh-made pastries, and all-day savory menu items for over a century.

A timeless icon of French luxury, Angelina Paris has continually attracted a gourmet audience that has boasted some of Paris’ most celebrated individuals including Coco Chanel and Marcel Proust.
Angelina Paris New York will continue the tradition of culinary excellence, charming, elegant décor, and sense of romanticism,” the release discloses.
The Parisian-inspired cafe is comprised of two components: a bakery featuring Angelina’s signature pastries and hot chocolate, and retail, where patrons can bring the magic of Angelina to their own homes.
Guests can take a break from shopping with old-fashioned hot chocolate and eclair chocolates, or get some early holiday shopping with takeaway chocolate mix, Angelina’s special tea, or Angelina’s emblematic box set.
Anthony Battaglia, Chief Operating Officer of Angelina Paris New York, states, “There is a strong appetite in the United States and New York City, in particular, for the romantic, yet relaxed atmosphere of one of Paris’ most classic tearooms.
We are eager to open our doors safely and welcome American consumers in to enjoy the sophisticated and charming dining and shopping experience of Angelina Paris in the heart of Manhattan.”
The L’Avenue at Saks x Angelina Pop-up is open from now through December 18th.
