    Perfect little egg sandwich & fresh Madeleines were delectable. Family waited on Cronut line and said it was worth it. One flavor only per month so check ahead if you have picky eaters with you.

    Dominique was my pastry chef for 7 years before opening his own bakery. I love to pop in for some flaky DKA, or a special seasonal treat for my wife. If I’m lucky he sometimes sends me a cronut!

    Cronut master Dominique Ansel unleashes a new pastry today: A "lobster tail" made from pretzel dough encrusted in Maldon sea salt, peanut butter & butter-crunch brittle, with honey brown butter. Read more

    Ohhh the Cronut – this trendy hybrid attracts a line at 7am before opening but is well worth the early wake up and wait. Enjoy this innovation or any other famed treat in the lovely outside seating.

    Ansel’s flawless execution + crazy creativity to conceive new pastries w/ French techniques for American palates lives up to media hype. Cronuts are crazy labor intensive to make, so worth it to buy

    If you're in the market for a Cronut, skip the line with a little advanced planning. Reserve up to 6 Cronuts for pickup 2 weeks out on Mondays at 11am. Reservations go quickly, so no dilly-dallying.

    Everything you've heard about the cronut before is true. In fact, it doesn't make it any justice! There are pastries, and there is the cronut. It plays on a league of its own. Had the pear and sage

    the cronut is absolutely worth trying, even though it may not be for everyone. (also try the DKA!) if you place a large order in advance you won't have to wait in line!

    The cronut turned Dominique Ansel into an international celebrity and his bakery into a madhouse with lines stretching to New Jersey, but did you know he also makes a great little egg sandwich? Read more

    I know everyone talks about the cronut, but the real star here is the kouign amann aka "DKA!" And don't forget the butterscotch eclair. Best bakery in NYC, hands down!

    Place an order in advance through their website if you want to try the cronuts without having to wait in line in the early morning. Every month a different flavor, every time a delicious treat.. 😋

    Petunia the skunk is amazing! The orange jam with the cream and dark chocolate is wonderful. The chocolate mousse is delicious and the coconut guava one too. Everything looks and TASTES GOOD 🤤🤤

    the frozen s'mores are really cool! it's marshmallow (toasted when you order it) around a layer of crunchy chocolate with vanilla ice cream in the center. a bit pricey, but worth trying at least.

    Cronut flavors changed every month. Usually a small line outside but goes pretty quick and u don't have to get up early to score cronuts. I got them at like noon on a sunday. 2 cronut limit still.

    Fantastic place. Queue up for the Cronut. It is a hundred percent worth it. The Madeleines are made fresh as you order them, and the croissants are probably better than some you'd get in Paris.

    Everything this bakery produces basically is crispy/crusty shell on the outside and soft/chewy in the inside.From the torched frozen smores to the DKA.Don't miss the flourless chocolate pecan cookie.

    Come approximately an hour before the bakery opens to guarantee yourself a Cronut. Come at around 2 PM for a cookie shot. The Frozen S'mores and DKA are good too. Penguin marshmallow doesn't float.

    kouign Amann is to die for much tastier than the cronuts, coffee is average, staff very cheerful & helpful. They have nice seating at the back.kids went nuts on their blossoming hot choco & s’mores.

    The cronut of course - today's special was lychee rose pistachio, yummy! But other pastries are delicious too. And the hype and lines have gone so a good time to visit :)

    Eat this, always, but especially if you see it coming warm + fresh out of the oven. Promise it will be the best thing you put in your mouth all day. #thatsnotwhatshesaid

    Ice cream marshmallow, pear cream cake and cherry black forest cake. Sweetness, appearance and taste of desserts - make you speechless. Be sure you go there before 8 am to have special croissants..

    The cronuts live up to the hype. Wasn't sure about the Caribbean Rum Raisin (Nov '14), but they are simply amazing. DKA (Kouign Amann) IS a close second. The coffee is great, too.

    In the dessert world, pastry chef Dominique Ansel is king. But among his must-try confections, the combination doughnut/croissant reigns supreme. Get there before 7 a.m. to nab one. Read more

    The mastermind chef is always breaking new ground, but he nails all the basics as well. Order the just-baked madeleines when they're available, and don't sleep on the Perfect Little Egg Sandwich. Read more

    The Cronut™ is the creation by Chef Dominique Ansel that many have described to be a croissant-doughnut hybrid. It is trademarked product only available here. Beware of imitations.

    1. Be prepared to queue for cronuts (5.5$) 1-1.5h even on weekdays! 2. There is a possibility to pre-order on the web-site. 3. Crispy outside, great filling, smooth texture.

    So I didn't get to try a cronut (this time) but I was able to try many of the other AMAZING items on their menu, and I was not disappointed. Anything you order will satisfy. Dominique Ansel was there!

    Ok. I’ve clearly overlooked the choc chunk cookie and flourless chocolate cookies (i’m always here for the dka and cronut!), which are probably...the best cookies i’ve had.

    My first visit was to pick up a Cronut, but it's since become my go-to quick breakfast spot when I'm in the area. The croissants are flaky and delicious. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable.

    their cronuts are definitely worth it and there are always new flavors each month. the grapefruit panna cotta is refreshing and light. and cookie shots are a perfect after work/school/anything treat.

    A classic French bakery from the man who reimagines classics. Even if you're not lucky enough to get a Cronut or Cookie Shot, try the madelines, the DKA, or the frozen smore, honestly, pick anything

    While everyone knows this as the Cronut Bakery, You can't go wrong eating anything here. I highly recommend the DKA, the Madelines, the Frozen s'more on a hot day, or any of their seasonal treats!

    The cronut was amazing! Also the DKA is a must try! I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Definitely one of the best bakeries I've been to!

    Tried all the fun desserts (cookie shot, frozen s'mores, blossoming hot choc, cookies) and while they look extremely appealing, they lack in tastiness. Great concepts but flavor doesn't meet the hype.

    Don't want to wait in line? Order cronuts in advance! You can either roll the dice by calling the bakery at 11am for 2 weeks in advance, or order in bulk (minimum of 50) a month in advance!

    The cronut is just as delicious and divine as it is cracked up to be. Their Kouign Amann is also fantastic, and you can only find it in a handful of bakeries in the U.S.

    The cookie shot and DKA are both amazing. I didn't get to try a Cronut but I hear the DKA is just as good, and they're available all day - no waiting in line.

    Cronuts for the world! Heavenly delicious. The perfect little egg was also tasty. Sit in the garden if the weather allows it. Everthing looks awesome. You have to try the DKA, too.

    Cooke milk shot: awesome awesome cookie and vanilla infused milk. When you order it, ask for the milk to go and pour it yourself. Gives you way more milk

    By far, the DKA is better than the Cronut! It's actually the best DKA I've ever eaten in the US! Skip the Cronut line, by getting a Cronut Pass, or coming here outside of work days.

    "good at pretty much everything–that includes sorbets, which are dense and creamy and come in flavors like green apple and raspberry. Our tip? Top your scoop with baby meringues for a dollar extra."
