24 Best Bakeries in New York

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

“Had a good brunch experience at Clinton, but it was not as hype-worthy as the videos I had seen on Tik Tok. The blueberry pancakes with mapple butter were delicious but I prefer Salt Cure’s. We also ordered the breakfast with poached eggs which was also good. The service and ambiance was good, although its always very busy. Definetly make a reservation if you are hoping to come here!“

“I got a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it was great. Where Absolute Bagels lacks is their service and efficiency. When you order it isn’t communicated to the cashier so you end up repeating your order to the cashier which seems like wasted time.“

“Hi,I post very few reviews, but I just mail ordered via Goldbelly a ricotta cheesecake from this wonderful place and had to tell folks.Order placement was easy, low price, fast shipping, cake arrived still cold and fresh and was super delicious and amazing.5 stars to this excellent pastry shop & cafe.I grew up in Newark, NJ with Italian aunts making home made scratch ricotta cheesecake.Veniero's is as authentic as you can get.Will def order again.Thanks you so much for bringing joy to my day today !David Politano“

“I'll give 4 stars, just because there's no control over who's taking the tables outside. I noticed some people just on their laptops without ordering anything and was annoying wait to sit with our food ready.Now, onto the good stuff: we indulged in a variety of coffees, pastries, and, oh my, the sandwiches were wonderful! This is definitely a go-to place, deserving of its positive reviews. The service was excellent, and they were impressively fast. A great spot for a quick bite or a relaxing coffee break.“

“Good not great. We came without a reservation and were kindly seated at the bar. Our server was quick, kind and paced our food order perfectly.We had the Ricotta – made the traditional way but I personally didn’t find it very tasty and the olive oil wasn’t great quality. We then had the spaghetti which was my favorite and finally the chicken which was good but not to die for.Great little spot for a nice dinner but nothing to go crazy about.“

“Food is amazing. Staff is very friendly . Love Lafayette.“

“4.4 stars. Reasonably priced boxed take to take home stuffed buns. The bun is very light and fluffy. The red roast pork filling was a good amount and the taste was pretty good. We liked the smaller, slightly sweet, baked, 8-to-a-box, red roast pork buns better because of the higher meat to bun ratio. I tried the salted egg custard bun for the first time and it was pretty good. Comparable to Go Believe Bakery on Grand, which always has a consistent amount of meat but less airy bun.“

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

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

“My daughter, my child always finds the best places to take her mama to. And babeee these donuts along with the customer service were definitely a win for me. I am vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian ;) and I chose from the vegan section and when I tell you the pumpkin glaze donut and the vegan plain donut warmed up for less than 50 seconds in a microwave were the best thing my hour glass figure didn’t need, I am not lying. These donuts were simply delicious, so delicious imma get the heck outta the city and not come back to it for atleast 2 years. lol. There isn’t anyway I can always have these donuts at my finger tips. But hands down this is a must try and definitely recommended establishment one has to visit any time in the New York area! Now, off to the gym, omg!“

“THE. BEST. Almond croissant I’ve ever had. I’ve been to Europe and all that but this??? Unlike any other croissant. Saying that I highly recommend this is an understatement. Was also graced with beautiful music from a quartet outside on a Sunday around noon.“

“Hard to say if I love their almond croissant (awarded as the best almond croissant in NYC) more or the one I had in BUKA in Copenhagen 2 years ago…both sensational in their own way! Also enjoyed the coconut chocolate chip cake (moist and light!) and chocolate rugelach!Just don’t order an English breakfast tea…you’ll probably get an earl grey.“

“I went this place after work and hit the spot. We had a delicious hot chocolate like I have not tried anywhere else, super tasty and delicious.m, it doesn’t need more sugar. The maple cruller was delicious but the passion fruit was exotic delicious and unique ! The staff very friendly they make you feel at home ! I loved the place and I will definitely go back!“

“Lovely, compact Scandi bakery with a small market in the back with selection of Haribo licorice and more.We ordered the sausage breakfast sandwich, cardamom bun, and salmon focaccia. When I come back, I’m definitely going to order the breakfast sandwich with a perfect brioche bun and thick multi-herb green aioli/sauce as the bottom layer! This was the most memorable of the items. Salmon was generously applied to the focaccia along with thick chive cream cheese, but the flavor combination wasn’t quite as unique in the lox bagel capital of the world.The cardamom bun could benefit from, well, more cardamom. And I fully admit that I’m not being quite fair on this front after having tasted the cardamom buns at Juno Bakery in Copenhagen, which are laced with so much freshly ground cardamom throughout that the scent fills the surrounding neighborhood. If you’ve tasted these buns, Smor’s will underwhelm you, but they are definitely one of the best in NYC.“

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

“Awesome and delicious food“

“Very nice and authentic place Very well recommended“

“A fantastic find! Inside a building (but marked with a plaque outside) along the hall there is this excellent bakery. fabulous kouign-amann and another equally fabulous orange Viennoiserie. Wins 10 to 4 over the "famous" kouign-amann brands in the city. It has no comparison. The place is very nice, the staff is helpful in choosing and kind. There are no very long queues and above all not only are there no exaggerated queues but you have a clearly superior product. Well done!“

“I came in for a cookie in the late afternoon, but there was only a chocolate and sour cherry variety available at the time. I was very uncertain about it, because it didn't sound that appetizing (I thought of cough medicine). But a lovely gentleman behind the counter by the name of Chris kindly granted me one to try. While it did not become my favorite, it was a very nice cookie and I would consider having one again, because the cherry was subtle and the overall flavor ended up being a nice balance without being overly sweet.As for the atmosphere, it gave me the impression of a warm, cozy coffee shop/bakery and the offerings in the display looked delicious. I look forward to coming back. Thanks!“

“Best milk cornflakes ice cream !!!“

“Fantastic local bakery! They have everything — pastries, bagels, bialys, cakes, breads, babkas, you name it. I loved my morning bun. It’s a flakey, gooey cinnamon pastry I’ll definitely be getting again. You can’t miss here! Highly recommend.“

“I think it is hard to find a bakery that makes cakes that both look beautiful and taste good as well. The team at Crumbly did just that and made the most gorgeous cake for my son’s Bar Mitzvah that tasted amazing. They surpassed my expectations! It was a three tier cake with three different flavors and I can’t say one was better than another. They were all delicious. I think the pricing was reasonable too! Highly recommend! I will be getting all my cakes there from now on!“

“Amazing freshly baked cookies“
