Skip the Cronut and get a salted caramel eclair. Soft, doughy pastry that oozes salty sweet caramel filling. Topped with a few sea salt grains - it doesn't get better than this.

The pastries are amazing but I miss the good old days when there were no lines. The madeleines are worth the wait.

Had to wait in line since 6:30am for the cronuts. Make sure the weather is permissible for the wait. They offer small snacks while waiting in line

There is a different line for the non-cronut items in the mornings. Don't leave without getting a DKA! WAAAY better than the cronut!

The pistachio dijon chicken salad sandwich is amazing! I get it on wheat bread to make it a little more healthy.

Some say the cronut is overrated. Those that say so have overlooked how delicate and perfectly executed this pastry is. It's worth the 90 minute wait in line - it's art not food.

Skip the cronut and get a real traditional pastry from this very good bakery

Mr. Ansel's interpretation of a Paris-Brest uses soft caramel, chocolate ganache and peanut butter cream. "It looks like a French classic," he said, "but it tastes like a Snickers bar." Read more

The Salted Caramel Eclair should not be overlooked simply because the Cronut line is out the door - on my opinion it's just as exceptional, and without a long line.
Alice M. HuynhSeptember 13, 2014
Wanna have a Cronut? Be there by 9:20 on Monday morning. No need to stay in line for 5h! Also try the almond croissant!! Perfect combination!
New York PostFebruary 21, 2013
Try the Paris-New York, a traditional French pastry re-imagined as a tribute to the Snickers bar with dark chocolate ganache, peanut butter cream and salted caramel. Read more

The cronut is an experience, but is actually a little too sweet for my palette. The DKA has a similar texture and is glazed instead of stuffed with icing - better balanced. Skip the line!
İpek A.February 2, 2015
One of the best bakeries in the city. You should try madeleines.
Sierra BarkdollFebruary 1, 2017
Absolutely amazing. His food creations are wonderful. Particularly loved the frozen s'more and the cookie shot
Doug WamplerJanuary 4, 2014
Perfectly chocolatey hot chocolate served at drinking temperature right away. No waiting for it to cool down to avoid scalding your mouth.
Fatima Al HashimiAugust 17, 2019
Come early for cronuts. Frozen s’mores are amazing.
NOctober 24, 2015
Chocolate chip cookie shot! Yummmmm I don't even drink milk and found this to be an amazing creation! 🍪🍼
Justin JonssonOctober 12, 2014
Cronut? Not bad. Cookie shot? Disappointing. Frozen s'more? Amazing. You really need to try it. The only problem is that it doesn't travel well due to the ice cream contained within.

DKA, any featured pastry, the cannele & definitely the Perfect Little Egg Sandwich!
Diane CimineJune 15, 2014
So having shown up WAY too late for a cronut, I settled for a DKA and while pricey ($5.72 for a tiny muffin-sized thing), can't imagine the cronut could trump it for flavor, texture and overall WOW 😍

Frozen S’more - "Forget the Cronuts, forget the cookie shots. The frozen s’more is where it’s at. And you won’t even have to wait in line for it." - The Infatuation

I came here at 6:30am on a Tuesday and was about the 30th-ish person in line. Hopefully the cronut hype is dying. It's 7:14 and it doesn't look like we hit 100 people yet.

Our go-to stop for an afternoon espresso-fix and macaroon on those days when we're shuttling back and forth between our 6th Ave. studio and our Flagship store on #77Wooster.

We loved their kouign amann and obviously their cronuts! The line wasn't bad at all.

Stood in line for cronuts at 7, entered store at 8:39, ordered at 8:45. If you're just getting an egg sandwich you don't have to wait in line. They let you just order that.
Ronald👽 S.September 9, 2022
Cronuts are always SOLD OUT here! Gotta get here early while supplies last!
Elyse EstradaAugust 15, 2012
The Tuscan salad sounds great in theory but too much yellow frisée as the only "green" in this salad with a few chunks of salami and a couple white beans. Overall "meh". Baked items look awesome.
Kimberly PNovember 24, 2013
Cronuts were def worth the wait - so good. Frozen s'mores were really good too.

Get here early to try the infamous Cronut! http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/145355234008/a-guide-to-impressing-your-nyc-visitors-just

Skip cronut and cookie shot madness lines and instead do a sampling of the beautiful pavlovas, seasonal pastries and tarts in the cold case.
Nayef 86 - GeminiAugust 6, 2017
Their famous Cronuts always sold out ! Coffee is good, cookies shot is not my type but it popular here. Oh yeah, set outdoor :)
Julie SosciaSeptember 5, 2018
Known for the cronut, Ansel's entire menu has great options. But you should definitely try the cronut.
AngelNovember 3, 2015
You can pre-order cronuts 2 weeks in advance and other items online so you don't have to wait in line! DKA's > Cronuts
CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014
Forget the Cronut, we think Dominique makes the best Cannele in town. And the Black & Blue Pavlova makes us weak in the knees!
Shahad ASHJuly 6, 2019
Great place with variety desserts .Don’t miss their s’mores stick .
Dominique Ansel BakeryMarch 28, 2013
Gluten free items for Passover? Try the Mini Me Cake or the Black & Blue Pavlova (both also nut free)
Ai KDecember 22, 2023
The line is justified. Amazing croissants, pastries and equally as importantly coffees! Breakfast all day.
AhuvaFebruary 3, 2016
DKA and cronuts. Try out the garden seating in the back.
Ayedh AlamriApril 16, 2019
The coffee was ok, i tried the famous cronut and it was delicious i would definitely recommend coming here.
Stina P.April 11, 2015
the chocolate cookie shot really is worth it if you happen to come across the line on a lovely day🍼🍪

I know I know too many choices but obviously you can't go wrong with anything here.
Kenny KhuuSeptember 18, 2018
DKA is basically a sweet croissant with a glaze/caramelized sugar on top. It was flaky and on the sweet side. Thought it was decent. 3.25/5
Bobbie McLellanSeptember 3, 2017
Almost anything. Monthly cronut, fig tart, and warm madeleines
Tariq AhmadJuly 23, 2017
Cronut was worth the wait. Although they do make a limited number every day, so best to arrive before 11am.
MsMaiSBSeptember 11, 2016
Try Cookie shot & cronut, they are not available all day make sure you come in the right timing💭
Neli ParchikNovember 29, 2014
Be prepared to stand in a long line if you're ordering cronuts - but it is totally worth it! They are amazing! 😍
Christine D.January 2, 2015
Errrr mah gawd! The cookie shot is amazing. The DKA and madeleines were good to try but not something I'd go back for.
Jared WickFebruary 20, 2015
Almost always sold out of their specialties – you'll have to get their first thing in the morning and stand in line to get your hands on the coveted cronut.
HawazenNovember 1, 2015
DKA good for new sweet creations . Brioche/croissant topped with caramel
Kinjil MathurDecember 15, 2014
the holiday pastries are a step above their regular french pastries. Who knew that was even possible!
