Hidayet AbbadAugust 21, 2015OMG this place is amazing! Got the banana butterecotch cake and it is to DIE for! Cronuts run out by 9am and lines start @ 6:45 so rise early for one!
AmateurConciergeFebruary 9, 2015Make your own cookie shot by buying a $3 mini jug of special DA milk at the register
Rainy ZhangMarch 15, 2014Cooke 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
Honghui YuSeptember 17, 2017Dominique Ansel is one of the most creative pastry chefs around and his SoHo flagship is a must visit for any dessert lover.
@JaumePrimeroOctober 8, 2013Don'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!
Aside from the lauded Cronuts, you'll find an excellent array of French pastries, such as the Madeleines, DKA, and croissants.
Karen VanettaSeptember 7, 2013The cronuts are as mindblowing as the hype suggests. Worth the line? Once, yes. Their other pastries (DKA, newly unveiled souffle) are delightful. Dominique and the staff are friendly also.
CarolSeptember 20, 2019The New York themed pastries this season are so cute and delicious. The back garden seating areas are lovely
Raman BNVAugust 25, 2022Cronuts and cookie Shots are awesome here. Best go before 12 noon for cronuts. They run out of Cronuts very quickly!
Kartik SathappanAugust 14, 2014Amazing bakery that continually innovates. Loved the canneles, DKAs, and of course the Infamous Cronut! It is worth the line.
Alexandra TritzAugust 12, 2016I tasted the August cronut : black cherry and valrhona milk chocolate, it was delicious ! It was my first cronut and I was not dissapointed ! I recommend it :)
Preorder cronuts for 3pm. This way you'll be able to get both the cronut and chocolate chip cookie shot in. Both are musts...
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.
Clyde Erwin BarrettoFebruary 10, 2014Skip out on the touristy cronut. Get the DKA (“Dominique’s Kouign Amann”) which is like a croissant but with a delicious sweet filling. The other desserts aren't bad as well. And it's always packed.
Inhea (Angela) JunNovember 12, 2016Saw the frozen smore (ice cream inside chocolate inside a marshmallow) on facebook and had to go check it out! $7 and perfect for your sweet tooth.
Ivana CMSDecember 16, 2015Yes, it's worthy waiting in the line for the cronuts! Madeleines are very good too! Little but very cozy place!
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 1, 2015They're pastry lineup is outstanding. The apple tart is divine, as are the cookies. Get a cronut if you must, but order a couple other confections as well- Totally recommend the cronut if you have time to wait in line, if not the DKA is just as delicious! Frozen s'more is good too! Get coffee if Anthony is working, he makes drinks like nobody's business
- Clyde Erwin BarrettoFebruary 10, 2014Skip out on the suburban touristy cronut and definitely get the "DKA" (“Dominique’s Kouign Amann”). It's like a delicious croissant with a nice soft sweet filling in the middle.
Gloria ChinJuly 24, 20121) Blanc de Blanc--Tahitian Vanilla between 2 soft, milky ricotta cookies w/ salted honey inside 2) Sugar-crusted kouign amann (super buttery croissant) w/ ice cream in the middle. $6, off the menu
Amazing pastries, esp the DKA w carmelized goodness + almond croissant. Mini egg sandwich is also delish! Cute indoor/outdoor patios - def making this my new spot for coffee + wkend breakfast hangs!
Elvis RodricksFebruary 27, 2019Besides the cronut - get here say by 11am to avoid a line outside- these guys have some pretty good pastry offerings. Dessert haven.
Jonathan L.November 10, 2014Will not comment on the Cronut & the chocolate chip cookie shot. I'm just here to say that I went on a Sunday and they had Cronuts till about 1pm, & the cookie shot line started around 2:45pm.
Mike WinstonDecember 22, 2013Skip the Cronut line and get yourself a Perfect Little Egg Sandwich or a DKA and be happy you did. Read all about my visit below! Read more
RamiAugust 7, 2014Must come between 8 & 10 am in the morning for the Cronut. If you are here for the "Chocolate Chip Cookie Shot" come after 3 pm.
- allisonAugust 21, 2014The August cronut flavor of the month hibiscus yellow tea and white peach is nothing short of spectacular.
- Elvis RodricksMarch 30, 2020Salt n white macadamia cookie hit the spot with a soft and chewy finish. Dont forget the Cookie shot - a delicious and functional work of art!
Stephanie KleinFebruary 18, 2016It's small but mighty. Frozen vanilla ice cream with chocolate wafers is surrounded by marshmallow and torched Baked Alaska style for $7. Cronuts sell out early. Nutella Milk Bread.
Lots of unique dessert ideas apart from the famed Cronut. Try the Frozen S'more on a stick or Cookie Cup with Milk, or anything else that your eye fancies.
RonniJanuary 8, 2015Didn't make it for the cronuts or the cookie shot, but the frozen s'mores was gooey and the ice cream inside was delish. Also tried the flourless cookie which was chewy.
hania albraikanMay 30, 2016A must while u r in NYC , try the milk and cookies shot , its available from 3pm, don't missed it 😍😍
Sydney LimJune 30, 2017Cheesecakes are soggy/has off-putting texture. Salted caramel eclairs, frozen s'mores, and cookie shots are all good but nothing I'd come back for.
Carly HeitlingerFebruary 11, 2015Arrive early in the morning to get in line for the famous cronuts or swing by in the afternoon for another delicious treat.
Christina C.December 30, 2012The DKA (Dominique Kouign Amman) is flakey, buttery & the top it's crunchy sweet with caramelized sugar. Sooo good & worth the $5.25 price tag. Nice heated outdoor area too.
Linda HarrisonOctober 21, 2020Expensive but beautiful and delicious. Pavlova is great and the hot chocolate with the expanding flower is truly a work of creative genius.- Oh my! Get the flourless pecan chocolate cookie. Or for a slightly lighter sugar coma, get the almond croissant.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Ansel's entire menu has great options, but recently known for their cronut which is amazing! There are sometimes lines, so be prepared for a little wait.
Kendal CockrelMarch 16, 2018If you want a cronut, you better get here early. Be sure to try their other pastries! There’s something for everyone. Unless you don’t like sweets. Then probably not.
Lauren MacFebruary 8, 2016Warm chocolate chip cookie cup + cold milk = cookie shot!! Delicious. Much better than most the strange cronut flavors.
- Linda HarrisonAugust 30, 2018The Pavlov is so good and beautiful. Every part from the container to the filled raspberries displayed beautifully in the middle is so thoughtful
- Nouf JJune 16, 2019It’s my first time .. DKA is soooooo yummy.. add some vanilla ice cream to it 😋😋😋 I like it even more than the cronut of this month..
CompassJuly 22, 2013Dominique Ansel left Daniel Boloud’s restaurant Daniel to start his own bakery in Soho, and has since gained a following for his decadent mini-meringues and freshly baked to order madeleines.
Buford DouglasMarch 16, 2019Invented the Cronut in 2013, a pastry that resembles a doughnut and is made from croissant-like dough which is filled with flavored cream and fried in grapeseed oil.
Joe GermuskaAugust 2, 2013"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."
Roasted butternut squash soup with cinnamon marshmallows... wow! and... their famous DKA, which is a lightly caramel coated croissant like pastry which may be one of the best things i've ever tasted.
Dorothy ChanAugust 25, 2015Frozen s'more is the most. amazing. thing. Vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate bits and torched marshmallow and honey.
Serious EatsApril 22, 2013Grilled Cheese: What amounts to a French onion soup grilled cheese: it oozes everywhere, nutty and rich, with caramelized onions for sweetness.
Nat HarwardAugust 1, 2013HuffoPo says if getting a cronut, "May we at least suggest you also purchase a DKA? It is the chef's take on a kouign-amann, a French pastry with layers of butter and sugar. It's fabulous." Read more
