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.
My first visit was to pick up a Cronut, but it's since become my go-to quick breakfast spot when I'm in the area. The croissants are flaky and delicious. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable.
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 :)
Best chocolate croissants I have had outside of Paris.
Bacon egg and cheese on croissant is amazing. Croissants are delicious.
Best croissants in the city hands down. Better than a lot of places in France. Trust me.
Best ham and cheese croissant downtown!
The hot chocolate here is so good! Try the almond croissants as well :)
Almond croissants are to die for. Have One!
Best customer service, hands down. This place is fantastic - cant go wrong with anything but almond croissant and frittata sandwich are amazing.
Cheese straws, feta and goat cheese burekas, rugalach, almond croissant all fresh and will turn you into the happiest person on the block
As someone who works here and has tried everything, my favs are almond croissants, babka, and cereal bread. If you're there for lunch: go for the avocado sand. Delicious and high quality!
Amazing croissants and fancy to-go cups. Stay classy Lafayette!
Bringing Paris to NYC. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch on the weekends, or pop in to the bakery for some Caramel Sale macaroons or an almond croissant! Oui! Oui!
The banana coconut chocolate croissant (from the bakery in the front) is my new favorite pastry!! If you're looking for a small treat, it's a must have!
The Pistachio Rose croissant and Golden Boy Donut are heavenly and amazingly delicious. This place is a must try if you like baked goods.
Try the earl grey and the matcha croissants!
Came here for the first time & had the spinach pie croissant & lemon matcha and both were PERFECT. Friendly staff & super cool interior as well - 💜 this place!
Authentic croissant and brioche and French staff!
One of the best croissants I've had outside France.
Crunch of the croissant is out of this world! Close your eyes and listen as you bite into it. You can hear Paree 😍 (also get a merveilleux speculoos)
Superb almond croissant (via Ceci Cela patisserie) goes great with this robust coffee. N*
Coffee has a nice, nutty flavor and the chocolate croissants are perfection.
ham and cheese croissant is the best in the city.
Korean bakery chain with Asian spins on pastries (green tea croissant, anyone?) and bread.
Amazing chocolate croissant and fruit tart!
Light & Tasty Croissants ! Try their ice tea it's good 🍷
Delicious Italian country bread and pain au chocolat. Service is also great, their workers are knowledgeable about the breads and very friendly! !
Sticky buns are my fav. But all of their pastries are yummy♥ and must try almond croissant & cinnamon challah knots!!!
Everything taste great!!! Loved the pistachio croissant twist!!! Gets really crowded around 9:30am
Best croissant I've ever had. The coffee isn't great, but the refills are free. My absolute favorite place for studying and peoplewatching.
The croissants are awesome!!
The best chocolate croissant ever.
Loved the Boston creme, croissant donut, and the coconut !
The Maple bacon croissant donut is to die for! The French Curler is amazing and even their plain donut holes are beyond delicious. They have a pretty great brewed hot coffee as well.
The croissants are amazing.
Great croissants! I Iove the ones with almonds!!!
A small bakery with some excellent pastries. Don't miss the fresh croissants.
The almond raspberry croissant warmed up is SO good. This type of croissant is not easy to find!
One of the better pains au chocolat I've had in NYC. Buttery w/o being heavy, perfectly flaky, and a healthy amount of filling (double chocolate rolls: rich and not overly sweet).
The almond croissant is a great treat for breakfast or afternoon w/ the right amount of almond paste and flaky, buttery but dense dough w/ almond slivers covering the pastry
One of the hippest restaurants in Manhattan, Balthazar is never short of activity. Highly recommended are the steak tartare, croissants, mussels, and frites. Truly a touch of Paris in Manhattan!
Get anything from the patisserie, but the almond croissant is the best.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
