“if you love SE Asian food lady Wong is the one to follow“

“The best strawberry cheesecake and chocolate covered cannolis I have ever had. 100/10, I’ll dream about these items forever lol.“

“We loved the atmosphere of Raf’s and sat close to the kitchen where we got to peel in to see the process. The food was delicious, though expensive. The staff was nice but the hostess was rude and we felt like she was rushing us out after an hour.“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“We had a wonderful brunch at Lafayette. This is one of my favorite brunch spots in the city. Our server was wonderful and attentive! The vibe and the ambiance are so chic! 10/10“

“I unfortunately get the hype…

The outer layer of the pineapple bun is super buttery and crispy and the the bun itself is soft and fluffy. The pork inside is tender and was sweeter than I expected but it pairs so well with the little saltiness on the pineapple bun crust.

Super addicting, super delicious! Great for a quick bite when in Chinatown!“

“Great, Great everything delicious. Outdoor eating area only 4 tables.“

“Nikola was amazing. Atmosphere and cocktails out of this world.“

“Thick cut bacon, egg and cheese on a poppy roll with a yolk that bursts on the first bite. The perfect pick me up on a rainy nyc day. Iced latte pairs well with the crullers. Great to sit and catch up with friends over some daily provisions“

“My husband is always on the quest for the best cup of plain coffee. He claimed this is the best he has ever had!!“

“👍the best, miss going there, eccellente“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“Amazing baked goods that are not the same played out options you find at most bakeries.“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“The croissant was indeed the best I had in New York yet, as a french person.
But the coffee was inacceptable, big bubbles and burning horror.
Also dissapointed by the lemon brioche thing, it goes back to the overly sugary american pastries.“

“Egg savory Danish with market greens: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ favorite pastry from Frenchette, wish I could try a fresh one

Pistachio croissant: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ love the pistachio on top, but found the whole thing on the sweeter/oily side

Viennoise: ⭐️⭐️ very dry, should’ve gone to tgtg“

“Red Gate Bakery is an experience that brings me back to loving life when it gets me down, when a hangover breaks me and/or when i want to experience heaven on earth. These unique concoctions are a once in a lifetime experience, unless you visit them weekly, which is recommended. While other bakeries get a lot of fame, these desserts are perfectly balanced so that you can eat them without feeling over-sugared. Go here. Be happy. You're welcome.“

“Just stopped in today to try some of their breads like the olive loaf. The lady behind the counter saw my kids and said they have to try the cookies. So I bought one for them to share. I’ve never had a Chocolate chip cookie like this. It’s amazing. Needless to say I bought three more to take home. Awesome staff and delicious food.“

“Excellent ice cream in a wide array flavors from the most conventional to surprising new ideas. Sparkling clean shop with professionally servers. Couldn’t have been more delighted with our visit.“

“Delicious and fresh donuts!! We had a dozen for a work birthday party and the whole team loved them. The options at the bakery all looked delicious and just walking in you smell the sweet but natural taste. They have gluten options I must come back for. Highly recommend!“

“Great lattes and breakfasts that I dream about. Wish they were open longer.“

“Awesome bakery! Their bread is a piece of art. Super tasty!“

“Great customer service! Loved the cereal milk soft serve the most 🍦“

“As soon as we arrived in New York from Australia we were greeted by another Aussie who spotted us in the hotel lobby who quickly wanted to share where we could actually get good coffee..... this is a MUST for us Australians. Bourke Street Bakery .... you did not disappoint !!! From the very friendly staff to my new favourite coffee, the cortada, to the taste bud blowing pastries and muffins, this place is a must to start your day with. BTW did I mention the coffee. 10/10“

“Awesome and delicious food“

“BEST CROISSANT I'VE EVER HAD 😍“

“Little stand located on the corner of Mulberry Street and Canal Street, is home to the most affordable and yummiest mini sweet cakes. Definitely recommend coming here if you are in the mood for a light snack and if you have $2 on you (15 of these mini vanilla cakes are only $1.50)I got the plain mini vanilla cakes because I was not in the mood to make a mess, but they do offer various toppings: condensed milk, honey coconut,peanut butter, chocolate syrup and nutella for an additional dollar.“

“I decided to eat in for late lunch. I ordered seasonal bucatelli. It was made with sungold tomatoes. So fresh seasonal delicious. Portion smaller side but perfect for me the only complaint it tasted a bit salty. Concerning as I need to watch salt“

“My husband and I made the long drive yesterday (2 1/2 hrs each way) from upstate NY to visit our daughter in NYC just for the day. While strolling around her neighborhood we came upon your lovely bakery and cafe and after eyeing the beautiful carrot cake in the window, we had to go in. Carrot cake is my favorite sweet treat. There were so many beautiful choices, but we got 2 slices of carrot cake to take back home with us. After the long drive back home we were really looking forward to a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. I opened one of the beautifully packed boxes, which revealed an enormous slice of yumminess!! The slice was big enough for at least 3 people. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Everything about this cake was phenomenal. The frosting was outstanding, the cake was so flavorful and moist. It was the best we’ve ever had. We have enough left for a few days. I’m so glad we stopped in. It was a great way to end our lovely day in the city and will most certainly go back on our next trek in . I will also have to get our daughter pick up some baked goods when she’s coming home for a visit. I highly recommend Crumbly Cafe & Bakery😊😊“

“It’s not easy finding a quick spot in New York that checks all the boxes—clean, high-quality food, warm service, and a cute vibe—but Daily Provisions nailed it.

We ordered the Caesar salad with salmon, and it was perfect. Think crispy chickpeas, a soft egg, kale, Parmesan, and a creamy anchovy dressing that actually tasted like anchovy—in the best way. The grilled cheese was buttery, golden, and exactly what you want it to be. Brussels sprouts were a great side, crisp and flavorful without being oily.

Shoutout to Atiana and the team for being so kind and welcoming. There’s indoor seating, and the space feels calm and modern without trying too hard. We’ll be back.“

“Unregular Bakery was hands down the best bakery experience we had in NYC. The pastry display looks absolutely insane, and everything tastes just as good as it looks. We tried the croissant pudding, the K Bueno, and a cappuccino — all were amazing. The employee recommended we warm up the croissant pudding, and even did it for us — it was exactly what I had been craving after so many disappointing bakery visits in NYC. On top of that, he was super friendly, and you can really see how passionate he is about the bakery and pastries. We’d 100% come back to try all the other goodies.“

“I was there only to pick up a to go order but the place was PACKED and from what I could see AND smell everything looked and smelled delicious!!!“

“Yessssss we live in Dallas Texas and we always come to have your cookies 🍪 ♥️ Great place awesome customer service“

“😋 Levain Bakery – Upper East Side
Okay… I get the hype now. These cookies are NEXT LEVEL! I thought they were just another NYC trend, but no — there’s nothing like them. Crunchy on the outside, warm and gooey inside, with chocolate that literally melts in your mouth.

I tried the dulce de leche with coconut and wow… it was love at first bite. Sweet but not overwhelming, with the perfect chewy texture. It’s huge too — definitely shareable, but honestly, you’ll want it all for yourself.

The vibe is cozy, the staff is fast and friendly, and even with the line, it’s worth every minute. If you’re around Central Park or the Upper East Side, don’t leave without grabbing one. Trust me — once you taste it, you’ll never look at cookies the same way again. 🍪✨“

“Ordered recently for my birthday two cookies online which were Chocolate Mallow Cupcake Cookie and the Pink Velvet Cake Cookie which were amazing and delicious. The order was ready when I arrived. The place does get a bit packed but the staff do a great job of crowd control. Oscar was amazing and handed my order and ask if I needed a bag which is great customer service. Highly recommend this place.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem Worth Finding!

Kam Hing Coffee Shop is truly a hidden hole-in-the-wall treasure! We stopped by and were blown away by their incredible sponge cakes – we tried the coconut and strawberry flavors, and both were light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious.

What made the experience even better was the staff. They went out of their way to modify our teas since we’re lactose intolerant, and the result was perfect – flavorful, refreshing, and just right.

This place has that cozy, authentic charm that’s hard to find. Amazing food, warm service, and unbeatable sponge cakes – definitely worth a visit!“

“Amazingly delicious treats! We loved the cloud cake and earl grey puff! It’s to die for! The teas we bought were amazing too! I only have one request, please open up a store in Chicago so I can enjoy your amazing treats more regularly!“

“Fabrique’s New York cardamom bun hits the spot when I need a sticky-bun fix, even if it’s not life-changing. Mine wasn’t warm or super fragrant, and the crumb leans dense rather than light and airy—but the cardamom flavor lands nicely, and the caramel glaze keeps it satisfying without veering into sugar overload.

Fresh off a European pastry tour, I’d still give this a solid four stars. It won’t dethrone the buns I devoured abroad, yet for NYC it’s a thoughtful, well-made treat. Grab it with a coffee and you’ll walk away happy, just don’t expect a cloud-soft roll straight from the oven.“

“I’ve been meaning to try this bakery for a while now and finally got to try today with my husband. The breads were delicious, soft and chewy and fillings were not too sweet. We tried the hot chocolate with oat milk as well and it was smooth and not too sweet which was just perfect! Service was very friendly and efficient. Loved the small sitting area towards the back side of bakery where you can enjoy some leisure time while enjoying delicious bread and your drink“

“Great people and the best rugelach on the planet.“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“Just had a delicious meal here and highly recommend it to everyone! our server, Maria was amazing and guided us in our menu choices.“

“Outstanding pastries! My favs are their black and white cookies, (best ever!), brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I find their blueberry muffins and cupcakes to be too small - very tiny.“

“Stumbled across this bakery by accident, ordered pizza pieces and coffee which were 1st rate 🏆 very tasty and yum on both counts, had to try cookie which was divine. Staff were helpful and music was great. Seemed to be a well patronised stop for many.“

“Mojo, the best Belgian mousse in New York! Very nice atmosphere over there!“

“My friend picked up an assortment of treats for my birthday, everything was so delicious✨Red velvet cupcake and The pistachio thingy were my favorites❣️Have to go soon & try more treats🥰“

“Absolutely authentic and glorious! Just wished there was cafe style seating outside. The chocolate croissant was PERFECT and the hot chocolate was divine. Muah! C’est ci bon!“

“We had the pleasure of visiting the patisserie this weekend and loved the friendly nature of all the staff. We weren't able to try any of their cakes due to the presence of gelatin but Diana made us feel so welcome that we will definitely be coming back if not for pastries then definitely for the service! In today's fast paced environment, especially in a touristy area like Seaport it is rare to find such exceptional customer service. Diana took out the time to go over the ingredients and explain what we can have based off of our dietary needs. We ended up trying the banana cookie and the Gluten-free Chocolate cookie. The banana cookie had a lovely texture that is hard to come by - I'm a baker so I could tell it was made with skill. The texture was a mouthy chew without being too hard or too crispy - it was just right. The taste was similar to Craqelin and the banana really added depth to the carmelly flavor of the cookie. The chocolate cookie was even better (although I'm quite biased as I prefer chocolate). It was not too sweet, had a great texture and the pools of chocolate carmel added the perfect touch. I am quite picky so I was very impressed with Diana's customer service and her willingness to explain all the components so I would have the best experience. We left feeling quite pleased and will definitely be back. Diana should be promoted!
P.S. we also got the French Onion Croissant which was MAGNIFICENT! Crispy, perfectly seasoned and those layers of caramelized onion with cheese truly tantalized our tastebuds. Needless to say this place is a must try!“

“I was looking for something for breakfast, notice it was next to my hotel, figured I would try it out.

Foods good, but EXPENSIVE! I forgot how expensive things can be in Manhattan

Loved the vibe of the place, but I felt rushed to order. Went for the experience, food is amazing no doubt-prices are just too pricey for me. Think I’ll stick with local coffee shops back home.“

“Please do yourself a favor and stop by for moon cakes! She does the best I’ve ever had, I always come back here whenever I visit NYC. Black sesame and red bean are my favorites. She offers a different kind of bubble tea as well - if you like the classic flavors, look no further, skip the big chains and support a local store, you won’t regret it 🫶🏻“
