Great coffee shop/bakery! I wanted to try all of the pastries there but I held back. The two I got were amazingg. A croissant and a sort of banana muffin. Both were so fresh and so good. The coffee was great too. I do however recommend going at a not busy time as it was almost impossible to find a place to sit. I was there on a Sunday during the day.

Indeed, it is EXAGGERATED!!! Too much oily and buttery. From my experience of being in industry that’s too much bro!!! Take it easy guys you are in need of fixing things there. I hope you’ll take it as advice! And just wanna touch base on the attitude of I think it was manager but anyhow it was not cool! you would not speak or behave a person like he does. I am not saying a customer especially I know you may think that customers are always right but of course not! When it comes to level of communicating with someone be mindful man of what you speak or about to speak! I personally love to think millions of words but only calculate and say one to whomever I am in communication!!! And I heard the story of the bakery is great I love you seeing succeed more guys!!! I hope I helped! Not a bot or ai or harm:) just real!!! Addition, Jerusalem bagels are getting better and better!

It’s just bakery. It doesn’t feel special. Looki babka is fine — soft inside, crispy outside, but it’s not unlike most other bake shops. The famous pistachio croissant is too burned and greasy. Take a piece of great bread, dip it in pistachio butter, and you’ll have a better experience.

I've never had an egg sandwich with crisped cheese instead of melted cheese and I got a say, it worked SO well. Especially with the mushrooms. I only wish there were more mushrooms on it, but altogether it was really excellent. In a city full of stellar breakfast sandwiches, this one shines particularly bright.

My favorite place for rose pistachio croissants. You have to come with someone because their desserts are so rich and buttery.
I’ve been purchasing the Thanksgiving pies from Librae Bakery since 2023, and every year I come away impressed, so I wanted to write a review capturing the experience, quality, and why it’s become a reliable part of my holiday tradition.
Unique flavors: Not just “pumpkin,” but creative variations that still feel rooted in the holiday tradition.
Reliability: After two years in a row, I’ve grown confident that Librae delivers what they promise.
If you’re looking for a show-stopping Thanksgiving pie in New York City, and you’re willing to plan ahead, Librae Bakery is highly recommended. For me, having used them since 2023, they’ve earned my trust and become part of my holiday tradition.

Great coffee and pastries. The time needs to be adjusted to 4:15. They close their machines after that to prep for closing. Kinda misleading if you’re going out of your way just to come there and get coffee. At another time they had closed their doors around 4:20. Might as well change your times :)

There is usually a line outside this bakery so get there early! I got the famous pistachio and rose croissant— perfectly crispy and filled with pistachio cream and topped with roasted pistachios. It’s just really buttery and greasy like the oil soaked through the bag and if you squeeze the croissant at the end, oil will come out… it’s definitely really good but it could get sickening I shared it with someone else. The loomi babka was a lot better in terms of oil. Crispy but very soft on the inside and it had lemony filling inside. I’m not a big fan of lemon flavoured things but it was decent

We went on a bakery food crawl in this neighborhood and Librae Bakery was hands down our favorite.
We got the Shakshouka focaccia and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite of the focaccia had such bright tomatoey flavor, not to mention the egg baked into the center.
The rose pistachio croissant also hit. We each took a few bites and saved the rest for later, and it was still incredibly delicious when we finished it the next day. There’s something about the pistachio on top, married with the filling, that adds a lot of layers to the flavor. Cannot recommend enough.
Amazing pastries!!! Very rich
