HCL agrees with our reader that Harlem&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patisseriedesambassades.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Patisserie Des\u00a0Ambassades<\/a>, located right across the street from Best Yet, offers delicious breads and pastries. I have purchased baguette&#8217;s at Les Ambassades before and they are absolutely delicious. Go purchase bread there. It is very good! And their pastries are scrumptious as well. There are a wide variety of pastries to choose from at Les Ambassades, such as fruit tarts, danishes, tiramisu, creme brulee and more. The food is darn tastie as well. But I won&#8217;t elaborate about the food just yet.
