Established in the heart of Tribeca in 1992, we are a bustling bakery serving the neighborhood, as well as caterers, restaurants and event facilities.

All of our pastries, cakes and decorations are handmade on the premises – from scratch – using only natural ingredients and no preservatives – what you would have in your own kitchen. Throughout the year, we feature seasonal specialties, using produce at its peak – fresh fruit pies in the summer, spiced breads in the winter, etc.

Every morning we bake an assortment of breakfast viennoiseries – croissants, scones, muffins, danishes – which are best enjoyed with a cup of fresh brewed coffee, or our homemade hot chocolate in the winter and lemonade in the summer.

You can find many of our delicious treats daily, but specialty orders must be placed at least 3 business days in advance.

Please feel free to consult with our staff at 212-274-8447 (toll free: 877-274-8447) or info@madelines.net.

About the Chef

Madeline Carvalho Lanciani, the Chef/Owner of Duane Park Patisserie, was not always a Master Baker.

Born in Lexington, Massachusetts and raised in Ohio, Madeline began baking with her mother at the age of 9, winning a prize for her Magic Cupcakes in the Pillsbury Bake Off Junior Division. She landed her first cooking job at age 15 as a short-order cook in a local restaurant in Vandalia, Ohio. While in college – Madeline holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music – she began her career as a freelance caterer.

With her move to New York in 1971, Madeline discovered that the food business was a completely different experience than that which she had encountered in Ohio – she was fascinated by the passion, interest, and sophistication of both diners and chefs. However, when she attempted to get work in various restaurants, she discovered that women were not accepted as professional cooks. After much persistence (not to mention seven of free work) Madeline became the first woman to be hired as a cook at the Plaza Hotel. She spent two and a half years at the Plaza Hotel, working through all stations, but concentrating on pastry and baking.

From her position as Garde-Manger at the Palace Restaurant, Madeline moved on to become Chef at O'Neal's Restaurant in 1977, where she earned rave reviews for her “high end” cuisine.

From 1977-1988, Madeline founded and managed the neighborhood favorite Patisserie Lanciani in Greenwich Village, and in 1985, she opened the Patisserie Lanciani in Soho. Both establishments are now closed.

In 1992, Madeline opened Duane Park Patisserie at its present location on Duane Street.

Madeline is the mother of two.
