Dorothy ChanAugust 25, 2015Frozen s'more is the most. amazing. thing. Vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate bits and torched marshmallow and honey.
Serious EatsApril 22, 2013Grilled Cheese: What amounts to a French onion soup grilled cheese: it oozes everywhere, nutty and rich, with caramelized onions for sweetness.
Michael ClarkeOctober 19, 2014Home of the cronut but has many other good things to try. Just note that you need to line up around 7 a.m. to get cronuts. The bakery opens at 8 a.m.
Chris KSeptember 13, 2015Amazing!!! You must get the smores, cookie shot, and cronuts!! Above and beyond delish ❤️
WyngspanJanuary 23, 20141. Type "Cronut" into the Google search bar. 2. Select 'Images'. 3. Remember why you're standing in line at 7 AM. 4. Eat Cronut. 5. Get Dominique Ansel in your Trust Network: http://bit.ly/19QEA0r
BuzzFeedApril 11, 2014The cronut turned Dominique Ansel into an international celebrity, but did you know he also makes a great little egg sandwich? And you don’t have to wait in the stupid cronut line for it.
Village VoiceAugust 8, 2012Fresh spins on class French baking: Choux pastry religieuses, layered cakes or an early morning kouign-amman, this spot will hit the spot. #3 on Tejal Rao's 10 Best Pastry Shops in New York
Arthur DanskinSeptember 15, 2018Pastries live up to the hype. Surprisingly nice courtyard in the back.
Sam PezzulloJuly 24, 2013If you aren't lucky enough to get one of the famous, fresh daily cronuts before they sell out, settle for the little madeleine's or the frozen s'more, both are great!
Jole PJune 18, 2017The pastries here are amazing- the Dominique Ansel Kitchen is also a great place to check out for more prepared desserts that are delicious!- Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013If you're looking for great french pastries, don't miss this staggeringly good bakery from Dominique Ansel, former pastry chef at Daniel.
- HKJanuary 13, 2019Nice place worth to stop by many times. I got the almond croissants and was perfect.
MLSeptember 15, 2013Each customer is limited to 2 cronuts per visit. It's def worth it though! I really enjoyed the desserts & atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available up front & in the back of the bakery!
AleiaMarch 15, 2015Check out the cookie & milk special. A cookie shaped cup filled with vanilla-infused milk. Only after 3p. It's delicious.
Luis BastardoSeptember 26, 2014I tried the chocolate eclair, it's good, but it's not the best I've had. The DKA, though, is pretty good, I tried a bite and I felt in love with it.
If you're seeking the glorious croissant doughnut Cronut, be aware they sell out within an hour every morning and the queue begins at 7:30am. Or you can pre-order 1 week in advance.
Naita ChamberlainDecember 2, 2016Almost everything. Never got the chance to try the front, but frozen s'more is to die for.
Serra CMarch 9, 2019Almond croissants and chocolate eclairs worth to wait. they are very rich and tasty. You should go early for cronuts- Jackson IsaacsonJuly 7, 2016Delicious pastries and coffees, but never worth fighting the touristy crowds who clog the sidewalk and cafe in search of their far-overrated cronuts.
- Abbas JamaliAugust 19, 2013If you do not have an American palate (i.e. uber sweet tooth) skip Cronut & DKA; get a regular croissant (possibly the best I've had outside France) - the other two were way too sweet to be enjoyable.
Divya MenonJuly 4, 2016DKA and freshly baked Madeleines my fav! Cookie shot is really cool and yum too. I am not a Cronut fan sorry!
Emmanuel GalvanFebruary 5, 2016Standing in line for an hour at 7am to get a CRONUT is totally worth it ! That thing is SO GOOD !
Skinny Girl EatsJune 30, 2016Just had a cronut. The line was worth it. I'll be back to try more desserts.
For the love of god, don't ask about a Cronut after about 9am. It will be sold out. Tolerate the long line and try one of the other pastries (almond croissant, DKA, etc).
Eric StankovitzNovember 13, 2015Excellent bakery in Manhattan. I loved the frozen s'more and the chocolate chip cookie shot. That was to die for.
Connie ChiuSeptember 18, 2014Dka! Dka! Dka! I can eat this forever. Go during sunshine. The outdoor garden is beautiful.
Eric AbergelJanuary 14, 2016While the Cronut gets all the press don't miss out on the fresh made to order Madeleine or the DKA both are fantastic.
Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013The Cronut Craze is going strong! The fried, crunchy outside and lightly layered inside with the sweet frosting changing monthly is mouthwatering. We’ll be back this July for the blackberry flavor.
BettyMay 20, 2013Cronuts!! Best hybrid of 2013: croissant meets bagel meets filling and frosting <3 (Excuse the bite in the photo).
- April WallogaNovember 16, 2013I've never had a Cronut, but I'm pretty sure it's no better than the DKA. Think a croissant-palmier hybrid with a moist, bready-sweet nucleus.
- Marc AsghariSeptember 26, 2021Great donuts and cronuts - not worth standing in line - go at odd hours/days - a must try!
jansen cAugust 8, 2017Look beyond the cronuts, they are all very delicious! Moderate wait time if you avoid peak hours
The cronut hype is worth it. This months flavor of blackberry and toffee is delicious!
Penny ChuangSeptember 26, 2016Amazing bakery with creative food! Love the DKA and the infamous cronut. Def would recommend it to my friends.
Gal AmirMay 15, 2015Oh the Cronut. Enough said.. I suggest coming in around 9, they usually have Cronuts left and there's no line!
Emily JenkinsAugust 29, 2016We've tried ton of desserts here, and frozen smores is by far the best! Worth the $$$
Lodoe SengeJune 30, 20136:30 is perfect time to be in Que for Sunday and 6:00am on regular days if you are Qued up way behind when they open the door I think you should go home
still have yet to try the famed cronut, but all other pastries are equally delicious and beautifully presented. yummy.
Mike YinOctober 23, 2015If you're reading this, they are already out of cronuts. Get an item under the glass and 4 DKA's to go. They are honestly better than the cronuts.
Pauline HilbornOctober 23, 2013Of course you came for the cronuts, but of course it is sold out. Try the almond croissant. It's the best you've ever had.
As good a bakery as there is in the city. The madelines are must try’s.
Simone CzechSeptember 23, 2013Get there at 6 am to get the result of the love affair between a donut and a croissant. September flavor is fig jam!
- Gal AmirMay 21, 2015After 3pm order the chocolate chip cookie shot and the medelain's straight from the oven... Delicious!
Gio PanMay 7, 2017If they want to keep selling their cronut @ $6 they should make sure it tastes better than a half-stale donut with cheap-syrup-tasting filling and ultra sugary glazing.
Nicholas BorgeNovember 21, 2017Cronuts. You'll be queueing for ages and have to get there early to even have a chance, but it's worth it.

"Have one savory dish & one sweet then SHARE. Never had pancakes as fluffy as these, waiters are nice, wait is 1-3hrs but they text you when you're table is ready so you don't have to wait outside 👌"

"Great coffee, solid chai. The PB&J on baguette (on the counter) is a perfect little snack. Great bench inside and outside to watch Soho saunter and stagger by. My fav."
