Amazing pain cioccolate and cappuccinos but no place to sit. It’s only to go.

I stumbled upon this place while walking down smith st. I tried their croissant with Brie and ham. I enjoyed it so much, I stopped back 2 days later for a danish with blood orange marmalade and a cappuccino
Both times I noticed the savory buttery flavor of the pastry. The blood orange marmalade hit just about every taste bud I have.
I've already recommended this place to others and will be going back to try the rest of the menu. If you want to elevate your breakfast, go here

Great customer service! No sit down option but almond croissant was amazing. Super crispy on the inside but fluffy on the inside

Finally stopped in because it always smells amazing, the best buttery bread smell, even in the afternoon. I got a croissant and apple gateau breton. The croissant is big but also clearly way overdone and tasted very ‘meh’. The gateau breton was good, I wouldn’t dream about it but I’m not mad at. Upon getting home, I see I’ve been overcharged as well. Disappointing, just go to Mia’s across the street instead.
Edit: I’ve been responded to by the business; even if the concept is a “well done” bake (which I did not know), the croissant did not taste good. The flavors were not deep, it just tasted burnt, not even buttery. Still, I thank you for explaining the intention.
Ask when the cakes were baked. They claim everything is baked fresh, yet the sell-by dates vary, which feels misleading. The baked goods themselves are good, but this business practice needs to change.

This hidden bakery brings me back to Paris. The pastries and bread taste delicious and weightless.

This ain’t it. Other neighborhoods get Radio Bakery, smør, la cabra etc. We get bien cuit. A dated, pokey, burnt bread place for boomers who don’t know how good it actually can be. And to top it all off, the staff completely ignore you as you enter and wait to be served. Instead they’ll carry on talking amongst themselves about what music to play. Feels so awkward as a customer, but they couldn’t care less. They’ve given up.

I've never had such a mid $8 pain au chocolat. I'm not sure if the pastry was stale, but the croissant was tough, not flaky. Every blue moon, I try and give this place a chance, but frankly they're egregiously expensive for a mediocre product.

No seating but worth going every day.
Excellent coffee, croissant and must try the zaatar n lemon scone.
Service with pride.
Everything a bit overcooked to my tastes
Best croissant in the city!
Flaky, buttery, and perfectly baked — it’s everything a croissant should be. You can taste the quality in every bite. A must-try spot if you’re in NYC!
Still the best baguette in Brooklyn. The patisserie are a bit expensive, but also tasty
