Ariadna GranéMarch 31, 2015we didn't arrive on time to get a cronut but we had the DKA and the madeleines they were all delicious!!
LaviniaMarch 30, 2016If you're not willing to stay in line early in the morning don't go at all. The cronut is sold out by 10AM and nothing savory after 4PM. Don't waist your time! There's a François Payard 2 blocks up.
don't pass on the ice cream & matching 'Mini Me' meringue toppings... the crunchy peppermint ones (complete w/red sugar) go best w/a spicy scoop of ginger ice cream;)
Alex HennesseyAugust 23, 2015DKA all the way. The cronut, while no doubt labor intensive, really is overrated. All the other pastries are so amazing and are a better use of your money.
Camila CeminDecember 17, 2014Forget the Cronut, the DKA is way better and you won't need to stay in the line for some delicious bites!
Georgina JenkinsSeptember 8, 2015The cronuts are definitely worth the wait and the Madeline's and lemonade are also very good.
Kaitlin NelsonApril 3, 2017You have to get here early if you want a cronut, as they sell out quickly, but the DKAs are a great second!
Carrie WJanuary 20, 2018Very popular place. We were lucky we didn’t have to queue for that long. The almond croissant was a bit too sweet though.
Heba-I-amSeptember 16, 2017The frozen marshmallow is really good too. Avoid going on weekend because you'll have to wait in line for a while. Ok coffee
Julia San JuanDecember 1, 2014Don't sleep on the DKA, a caramelized croissant with a sweet glaze inside its warm, dreamy, heaven sent layers.
DKA yes, cannele of course, macaron not so much. Cookies are very crumbley and the entire thing falls apart. The pink berry and chocolate are a bit more out together.
Nicole SAugust 24, 2014If you pre-order your Cronuts online (Mondays at 11am sharp) you can go straight to the front of the line to pick them up
- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The cronuts are the best donuts in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition." Read more
Chiara MezzanottefondaSeptember 13, 2014You have to try the dka! Yogurt with homemade granola and fruit salad are also really good
Jessica NgAugust 21, 2014~2 hours later: Yellow Peach Black Tea Cronut! The Cronut was delicious, but I would not wait 2 hours for it again ><
Alexzandria LangheierJuly 9, 2015Always a line!!!! Never any #cronuts they need to fix this or else it will get old fast... They are famous for inventing them yet run out everyday at 8am??? Need to make changes
Heta ShethJuly 9, 2016Frozen s'more had that perfectly crispy thin layer outside and vanilla ice cream in between
Hessao_July 24, 2015The s'mores are unbelievably good!! I would rate 1- s'mores 2- DAK 3- Cookie shot .. Wirth every calorie
Floor BAugust 2, 2022Wow the cronut was filled with a passion fruit pastry cream… very out of the ordinary!
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Nearly a year after its inception, the world-conquering Cronut® is still drawing ridiculous lines to Dominique Ansel’s Soho bakery. Read more
J CrowleyJanuary 6, 2015Caramelized Malt Valrhona Milk Chocolate with Maldon Sea Salt should be the last thing you eat before you die.
Larisa GrollemondJuly 12, 2016Solid pastries, honestly skip the cronuts, they're nothing to write home about! Try one of the other creative desserts, like the frozen s'more.
Tony HuangJune 30, 2013There is a outdoor garden with glass cover at the back, great spot to chill at.
Merve AkarOctober 31, 2016Cronut was nothing more than a regular good donut! Flavour was caramelised banana & dulce de letche and this fatty cream has weird soury-sweet taste. The dough is not even comparable to a good brioche
Erika RupinskiSeptember 14, 2014I've yet to have a Cronut but this place is always packed... Salted Caramel Eclair is tasty!
- K. M.May 28, 2015I don't quite get the thrill about the cookie milk shot. It's definitely not unmissable. The salted caramel éclair was pretty good. Expect a line.
Tony Orcsik (Antal)May 4, 2019Get in line on weekdays around 7:30 AM, you might get some treats while waiting ;)
Get a Cronut, a Milk Cookie Shot, or Frozen S’Mores if it’s your 1st time here.
The Frozen S'mores are overrated. Sure they're good, but you miss part of the experience when it's frozen. For $7, I expected something unbelievable. There are plenty of amazing items in this bakery!
Novelty pastries aside, this place has the best canelé in the city.
Simone JungDecember 14, 2015The cronut is meh, so go for the DKA and their lemony madeleines! It's like a little bit of Paris in Soho.

"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 👌"

"A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too."
New York Habitat - 8.5
"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."
