Cafe Silan, which served a variety of coffee and house-made pastries with natural sweeteners (like silan, a Middle-Eastern date paste), quiety closed back in July after nearly 18 months in business.
We'll update as soon as we learn more about the new venture.

Lemme guess: yet ANOTHER Maison Keyser. If so gimme a !@#$ing break with the chainification of NYC and spare me "Maison Keyser" is great, yeah, well they put individual bakeries out of business and NYC shouldn't be just MKs like it shouldn't be just Starbucks.
The bakery will be run by the same folks who owned Cafe Silan.
Tres bien! Monsieur #1 s'il vous plait lire l'article.
Always rom for a bakery!
Sorry Anon 12:54 not all chain stores are evil, bad, usw. I won't go into the quality of Maison Keyser--nor mention that they are employing bakers and apprentices. Their products still have the quality of hand-made (home-made). I wish the new incarnation of Cafe Silan well. I wish I could understand why the owners feel that their revamped concept will succeed where the old one didn't.
I hope it's not a chain bakery. It's getting so, it's better to live in the hinterlands because at least the rents are cheaper and all the chain stores are the same everywhere anyway.
I must try this place..I love French bakeries.
I love French bakeries and will try this one..but the EV is NOT Paris by any stretch of the imagination.
It's open! Well, soft open. Tried Theo almond croissant, better than Balthazar, yum. Wish them luck!
The new place is called Patisserie Florentine. Grieve has an updated post about it here.
The almond croissants are great, they also have very nice pastries and tarts. Get more than one because you will eat them all.
