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

“Great experience from start to finish! The food was fresh and full of flavor, and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. You can really tell they care about quality. Definitely coming back again soon!“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.

“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.“

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

“Awesome and delicious food“

“Another nut free find! Also sesame free.
Large assortment of donuts from classics, to cronuts and fancy fun flavors.
Donut holes, muffins and other baked goods. Saw vegan and gluten free options in a separate display.
Wasn’t very busy when we arrived on a Thursday morning 10am. There is old school countertop sitting for you to enjoy your donuts, coffee or other breakfast meals.
They were patient while we looked over everything and decided.
For 4 donuts, 2 Poland springs, 1 bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser there and 3 donuts, 1 muffin and 1 dozen donut holes to go it was $51!“

“BEST CROISSANT I'VE EVER HAD 😍“

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

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

“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.“

“Frenchette Bakery is both a bakery and cafe by chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson located at the Whitney Museum. At the bakery, one can pick up viennoiserie, individual pastries, baguettes, sandwiches and coffee. Or one can sit at the cafe to a meal with a fine menu that includes duck confit and rotisserie chicken. This is the second location of this fine bakery from these two chefs. I had a single shot Cortado, a croissant au Jambon with Gruyère. a croustillant with hibiscus and and a packet of Bouchons. Small high tables with stools are located outside to eat and leave. Lingering is not encouraged. The food was tasty but a touch expensive.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“😋 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. 🍪✨“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“Very good bakery. Croissant was right on with texture and flavor for American. Have not try the real French style, so I can’t tell. Baguettes is nicely baked and texture is just right, not to dense or chewy. Wished it could warmed up for eating on the spot.“

“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.“

“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!“

“👍the best, miss going there, eccellente“

“Visited the place around noon. Quite bakery/coffee shop to chat or do some work except that the seats are not comfortable for than 45min-1hour. Limited pastry options in my opinion but good variety of pizzas which is what I went for. It was a decent choice.“

“Stepping into Takahashi bakery is like stepping straight into a bakery in Tokyo. I especially loved the curry pan - tasted exactly like the ones I used to eat in Japan growing up!!

Quality Japanese pastries and breads, reasonable prices, great for a quick bite if you’re in the area.“

“After having the very first bite of one of the cookies, I immediately fell in love. The Chocolate Chip Walnut was the ultimate balance of everything you look for in a comfort treat while the Funfetti flavor caught me by surprise and is now considered the best sugar cookie I ever had in my life. There is two other flavors in the box I have yet to try and I have a feeling they won't disappoint, but after having those two said flavors, it is without a doubt that I will definitely be coming back for more sometime soon in the near future. That you could believe. ❤🍪“

“I've ordered the green tea fancy cheesecake and bouncy cheesecakes at Keki Modern Cakes throughout the years, but most recently, we decided to try something different. We went for a cookies and cream fancy cheesecake ($40), as well as 3 cream puffs (3 for $10, or $4 individually). They only had pistachio, cookies+cream, and ube cream puffs left when we ordered on Feb 6, so we got one of each. At first, we thought the pistachio cream puff was green tea, so when we bit into it, we were surprised. It wasn't a crowd favorite, but the cookies+cream and ube cream puffs were A+++. Highly recommend those two flavors. Next time, would love to try the milk cream puff! The cookies and cream fancy cheesecake was A+++ as well. We kept it in the freezer and took it out to thaw about 2-3 hours before we wanted to eat it. Although it sure tasted like ice cream, it wasn't. Delicious either way! The layers consisted of cheesecake, cookies, and cookie mousse. We couldn't stop eating it!“

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

“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.“

“We’ve been coming here regularly for their breads—especially the rye, sourdough, and olive bread—which we pick up at least twice a week. Every loaf is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and it’s become a place we truly look forward to visiting. It’s rare to find a bakery where everything feels so well made and reliable.“

“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 🫶🏻“

“Very good bakery lock like in Paris“
