Chocolate cookie shots and cronuts are signatures here. Their raspberry and lime tart is also very delicious. Frozen smores are great for the sweet tooth too.

Make your own cookie shot by buying a $3 mini jug of special DA milk at the register

Cooke milk shot: awesome awesome cookie and vanilla infused milk. When you order it, ask for the milk to go and pour it yourself. Gives you way more milk

Don't want to wait in line? Order cronuts in advance! You can either roll the dice by calling the bakery at 11am for 2 weeks in advance, or order in bulk (minimum of 50) a month in advance!

Dominique Ansel is one of the most creative pastry chefs around and his SoHo flagship is a must visit for any dessert lover.

Aside from the lauded Cronuts, you'll find an excellent array of French pastries, such as the Madeleines, DKA, and croissants.
Karen VanettaSeptember 7, 2013
The cronuts are as mindblowing as the hype suggests. Worth the line? Once, yes. Their other pastries (DKA, newly unveiled souffle) are delightful. Dominique and the staff are friendly also.

By far, the DKA is better than the Cronut! It's actually the best DKA I've ever eaten in the US! Skip the Cronut line, by getting a Cronut Pass, or coming here outside of work days.

The New York themed pastries this season are so cute and delicious. The back garden seating areas are lovely

Every Monday at 11am EST you can preorder cronuts online avoiding long lines http://bit.ly/2DKEgQy

Amazing bakery that continually innovates. Loved the canneles, DKAs, and of course the Infamous Cronut! It is worth the line.
Raman BNVAugust 25, 2022
Cronuts and cookie Shots are awesome here. Best go before 12 noon for cronuts. They run out of Cronuts very quickly!
Alexandra TritzAugust 12, 2016
I tasted the August cronut : black cherry and valrhona milk chocolate, it was delicious ! It was my first cronut and I was not dissapointed ! I recommend it :)
Clyde Erwin BarrettoFebruary 10, 2014
Skip out on the touristy cronut. Get the DKA (“Dominique’s Kouign Amann”) which is like a croissant but with a delicious sweet filling. The other desserts aren't bad as well. And it's always packed.

Preorder cronuts for 3pm. This way you'll be able to get both the cronut and chocolate chip cookie shot in. Both are musts...
Inhea (Angela) JunNovember 12, 2016
Saw the frozen smore (ice cream inside chocolate inside a marshmallow) on facebook and had to go check it out! $7 and perfect for your sweet tooth.
Ivana CMSDecember 16, 2015
Yes, it's worthy waiting in the line for the cronuts! Madeleines are very good too! Little but very cozy place!
KamOctober 2, 2013

Totally recommend the cronut if you have time to wait in line, if not the DKA is just as delicious! Frozen s'more is good too! Get coffee if Anthony is working, he makes drinks like nobody's business
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 1, 2015
They're pastry lineup is outstanding. The apple tart is divine, as are the cookies. Get a cronut if you must, but order a couple other confections as well
Clyde Erwin BarrettoFebruary 10, 2014
Skip out on the suburban touristy cronut and definitely get the "DKA" (“Dominique’s Kouign Amann”). It's like a delicious croissant with a nice soft sweet filling in the middle.
Gloria ChinJuly 24, 2012
1) Blanc de Blanc--Tahitian Vanilla between 2 soft, milky ricotta cookies w/ salted honey inside 2) Sugar-crusted kouign amann (super buttery croissant) w/ ice cream in the middle. $6, off the menu

Amazing pastries, esp the DKA w carmelized goodness + almond croissant. Mini egg sandwich is also delish! Cute indoor/outdoor patios - def making this my new spot for coffee + wkend breakfast hangs!
Mike WinstonDecember 22, 2013
Skip the Cronut line and get yourself a Perfect Little Egg Sandwich or a DKA and be happy you did. Read all about my visit below! Read more
RamiAugust 7, 2014
Must come between 8 & 10 am in the morning for the Cronut. If you are here for the "Chocolate Chip Cookie Shot" come after 3 pm.
allisonAugust 21, 2014
The August cronut flavor of the month hibiscus yellow tea and white peach is nothing short of spectacular.
Elvis RodricksFebruary 27, 2019
Besides the cronut - get here say by 11am to avoid a line outside- these guys have some pretty good pastry offerings. Dessert haven.
Jonathan L.November 10, 2014
Will not comment on the Cronut & the chocolate chip cookie shot. I'm just here to say that I went on a Sunday and they had Cronuts till about 1pm, & the cookie shot line started around 2:45pm.
Elvis RodricksMarch 30, 2020
Salt n white macadamia cookie hit the spot with a soft and chewy finish. Dont forget the Cookie shot - a delicious and functional work of art!
IpekFebruary 22, 2018
Go for the cookie shot and the cronut, they’re very tasty
RonniJanuary 8, 2015
Didn't make it for the cronuts or the cookie shot, but the frozen s'mores was gooey and the ice cream inside was delish. Also tried the flourless cookie which was chewy.
Stephanie KleinFebruary 18, 2016
It's small but mighty. Frozen vanilla ice cream with chocolate wafers is surrounded by marshmallow and torched Baked Alaska style for $7. Cronuts sell out early. Nutella Milk Bread.

Lots of unique dessert ideas apart from the famed Cronut. Try the Frozen S'more on a stick or Cookie Cup with Milk, or anything else that your eye fancies.
Jean McCarthyJuly 26, 2016
Skip the cronut (and the cronut line) and get the DKA instead. Amazing.
hania albraikanMay 30, 2016
A must while u r in NYC , try the milk and cookies shot , its available from 3pm, don't missed it 😍😍
Christina C.December 30, 2012
The DKA (Dominique Kouign Amman) is flakey, buttery & the top it's crunchy sweet with caramelized sugar. Sooo good & worth the $5.25 price tag. Nice heated outdoor area too.
Carly HeitlingerFebruary 11, 2015
Arrive early in the morning to get in line for the famous cronuts or swing by in the afternoon for another delicious treat.
Sydney LimJune 30, 2017
Cheesecakes are soggy/has off-putting texture. Salted caramel eclairs, frozen s'mores, and cookie shots are all good but nothing I'd come back for.
Linda HarrisonOctober 21, 2020
Expensive but beautiful and delicious. Pavlova is great and the hot chocolate with the expanding flower is truly a work of creative genius.
BasakFebruary 2, 2016

Oh my! Get the flourless pecan chocolate cookie. Or for a slightly lighter sugar coma, get the almond croissant.
Kendal CockrelMarch 16, 2018
If you want a cronut, you better get here early. Be sure to try their other pastries! There’s something for everyone. Unless you don’t like sweets. Then probably not.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
Ansel's entire menu has great options, but recently known for their cronut which is amazing! There are sometimes lines, so be prepared for a little wait.
Lauren MacFebruary 8, 2016
Warm chocolate chip cookie cup + cold milk = cookie shot!! Delicious. Much better than most the strange cronut flavors.
CompassJuly 22, 2013
Dominique Ansel left Daniel Boloud’s restaurant Daniel to start his own bakery in Soho, and has since gained a following for his decadent mini-meringues and freshly baked to order madeleines.
Linda HarrisonAugust 30, 2018
The Pavlov is so good and beautiful. Every part from the container to the filled raspberries displayed beautifully in the middle is so thoughtful
Joe GermuskaAugust 2, 2013
"good at pretty much everything–that includes sorbets, which are dense and creamy and come in flavors like green apple and raspberry. Our tip? Top your scoop with baby meringues for a dollar extra."
Buford DouglasMarch 16, 2019
Invented the Cronut in 2013, a pastry that resembles a doughnut and is made from croissant-like dough which is filled with flavored cream and fried in grapeseed oil.

Roasted butternut squash soup with cinnamon marshmallows... wow! and... their famous DKA, which is a lightly caramel coated croissant like pastry which may be one of the best things i've ever tasted.
Nouf JJune 16, 2019
It’s my first time .. DKA is soooooo yummy.. add some vanilla ice cream to it 😋😋😋 I like it even more than the cronut of this month..
Thomas MoAugust 17, 2014

My favorite item here is the cookie shot. But get anything - cronut, lobster tail pretzel, frozen s'more, dka - because everything here is great.
Nat HarwardAugust 1, 2013
HuffoPo says if getting a cronut, "May we at least suggest you also purchase a DKA? It is the chef's take on a kouign-amann, a French pastry with layers of butter and sugar. It's fabulous." Read more
