50 Best Bakeries in New York

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

“I love visiting Veniero’s EVERY TIME I am in the city! Amazingly delicious! 😋“

“Staff was super nice and explained what each bun was. There's no seating, but we stood to the side to try out the buns.

The buns were very soft and had the right amount of moisture, not soggy at all. The filling was flavorful.

We ended up getting three boxes for about $20!“

“I came for lunch alone and got a spot at the bar, which was exactly what I wanted. The place was busy in a good way, filled with great vibes. I ordered a Salad Niçoise, and the dish was both beautiful and delicious. It’s a lovely restaurant in NoHo.“

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

“Long line because we are all basic tourists 😅 Left line cash only and right line you order on tablet and pay with card. You are welcome! The baked pork bun and pineapple pork buns were delicious. Sweet and salty soft and crunchy simultaneously. Your mouth will be pleasantly confused. Must try!“

“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“

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

“I love Daily Provisions and order delivery from this location so often it's actually a little weird. Food is always good! I can't place an order from here without getting a cold brew and a blueberry muffin, the patty melt and tuna melt are so good, the chefy salad is perfect, and the breakfast sandwiches are great.

The only thing is that about 9/10 times I order, they do not include a straw for my iced coffee or a hot sauce for my breakfast sandwich. Tbh, they probably only send the hot sauce once out of every 20 orders (I really order from here a disturbing amount).

Whatever, the heart wants what the heart wants. But PLEASE start sending straws!! And maybe let me order a cruller online? :)“

“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.“

“An Absolute Delight!

Alfbakery is the place to go for fresh, high-quality baked goods. Their bread and pastries are nothing short of perfection, with each bite offering the ideal balance of taste and texture. The aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air, making it impossible to resist. With exceptional quality, attention to detail, and friendly service, it has become my go-to for baked treats. Highly recommend!“

“This place is a wonderful coffee shop! ☕ Frenchette Bakery serves a nice selection of caffeinated drinks 🍵, delicious 🤤 pastries 🥐, cookies 🍪, sandwiches 🥪, and more! Definitely get the Hot 🔥 Chocolate 🍫 with Marshmello and try the Croustillant. Staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and the service is quick. ⏲️ Place has a wonderful ambience 🎶 and they have indoor seating.🪑 I wish I came here sooner!“

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

“You think you've seen it all until you walk into The Donut Pub and see that there are bacon donuts. It seemed like too extreme a test to start with, so I ordered a classic donut flavor and a chocolate one. Classic choices and no room for error, they were delicious, but with only two donut “holes” I was already full.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Cute vibey place, warm cozy atmosphere.. got the bacon egg and cheese double bacon double cheese and a maple donut cruller thang with a iced mocha.. only regret is not eating it there while it was hot and fresh… everything was what I wanted and needed.. so much delicious

Vegetarian options: They got salads and such“

“This bakery is hands down one of the best I've ever been to. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, welcoming vibe, and the service from Santiago, Natalia, and Herwin was exceptional. The food is outstanding—each item is fresh, flavorful, and expertly made. With such a wide variety of baked goods, I can't wait to try them all. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome and delicious food“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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😊😊“

“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.“

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

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

“Levain was packed with a line almost out the door at 9pm on a Tuesday. It maintained that pace for the 30 minutes that we were there. We got a lemon, and fudge cookie. The cookies were very good, though I thought they were almost too sweet, and too subtle on flavor, especially on the lemon cookie. The buttery flavor was intense in a good way though. It's a great place, I would definitely come back again, but with less of a line“

“Visited on the last day of my trip to New York and was craving a sweet treat to end the journey. The staff were lovely and prepared my order quickly—an iced yinyang (tea and coffee) and an iced lemon tea. We also ordered the original and pandan cakes, which were light and fluffy. Hopefully, I’ll get to visit again!“

“A place to treat our little ones.
We ordered a pack of 6 cookies to bring to Spain with no expectations that they would arrive whole in the suitcase and surprisingly they arrived perfect 😃 (later I realized that they could be carried in your hand to take them on the plane as a personal item) 😉
They gave them to us warm and newly decorated.
Just don't expect much sympathy from the employees 🙄“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“Heavenly place. Reminder of Sweden in New York. And that taste of butter, like nowhere else!!!
Recommend to taste Cardamom but to any leaving breathing being to give them courage and inspiration to find their true destiny in their lives;)
Ray sourdough loaf is rustic looking, out of this world bread that you can use as a centerpiece dish in the middle of your party table and build the whole afternoon or evening around it along with savory and sweet delicacies.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for the second time while my car is being serviced at Lexus.
This is a very nice cozy bakery with comfortable seating. Great looking selection of pastries, breads and sandwiches. Today I had the scone with chocolate and an Americano coffee. Came with a small biscotti. Both were very good. Lots of take out business and many locals seem to sit in and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Several people doing business on their computers. Bathroom is spacious and clean.
Definitely will go again.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“The brownie....just get it. It is decadent but not overly sweet and a great texture that leans on the more soft than chewy side. I am a person who has tried a vast array of desserts and I still crave the brownies from here when I am not in ny. The cookies are also among my top 5 in NYC.“

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

“This is my second (and third) time visiting and it will always be a staple of my visits moving forward. Everything here is so good. The highlights for us were the moon cakes, the mango mochi roll, and of course, their soft and flaky egg tarts. I still dream about those egg tarts. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“The best bakery in the Stuytown area. Their sourdough is fantastic, the baguettes are perfectly crafted, and the pastries are top-notch. Even the small baguette sandwiches are delicious. I’m always surprised this place doesn’t get more citywide recognition—it truly is a gem. Be sure to come early for the best selection!“

“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!“

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

“My all time favorite spot for soy milk and tofu pudding. Super fresh and reasonable prices. The staff is also very kind and knowledgeable about their products if you have any questions. I love supporting a local shop especially since they’ve been in the neighborhood for decades.“

“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. ❤🍪“

“We tossed up between 4 renowned soul food places in Harlem and finally settled on Melba. Boy are we glad we did. Food was delicious and plentiful. Loved the fried chicken and ribs the garlic mash and collard greens. And not to forget the sweet potato pie. Exceptional!“

“Eine wunderbare kleine Bäckerei, wo wir sehr lecker gefrühstückt haben ☕️“
