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.
Luca DLMarch 21, 2018Every Monday at 11am EST you can preorder cronuts online avoiding long lines http://bit.ly/2DKEgQy
Simone CzechSeptember 23, 2013Get there at 6 am to get the result of the love affair between a donut and a croissant. September flavor is fig jam!
Gökçe ErsoyMay 3, 2016Ok frozen smore and cronut is amazing! And in ny we are waiting on the line everywhere but it goes quickly! Here just one person taking orders, preparing pockets and taking the payments! Why?!- My favorite item here is the cookie shot. But get anything - cronut, lobster tail pretzel, frozen s'more, dka - because everything here is great.
olivier PEYREJanuary 9, 2015Frozen S’more - "Forget the Cronuts, forget the cookie shots. The frozen s’more is where it’s at. And you won’t even have to wait in line for it." - The Infatuation- Abbas JamaliAugust 19, 2013If you do not have an American palate (i.e. uber sweet tooth) skip Cronut & DKA; get a regular croissant (possibly the best I've had outside France) - the other two were way too sweet to be enjoyable.
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.
Gal AmirMay 15, 2015Oh the Cronut. Enough said.. I suggest coming in around 9, they usually have Cronuts left and there's no line!
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
hania albraikanMay 30, 2016A must while u r in NYC , try the milk and cookies shot , its available from 3pm, don't missed it 😍😍
Emily JenkinsAugust 29, 2016We've tried ton of desserts here, and frozen smores is by far the best! Worth the $$$
BettyMay 20, 2013Cronuts!! Best hybrid of 2013: croissant meets bagel meets filling and frosting <3 (Excuse the bite in the photo).
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.
The pistachio dijon chicken salad sandwich is amazing! I get it on wheat bread to make it a little more healthy.
Eric AbergelJanuary 14, 2016While the Cronut gets all the press don't miss out on the fresh made to order Madeleine or the DKA both are fantastic.
jansen cAugust 8, 2017Look beyond the cronuts, they are all very delicious! Moderate wait time if you avoid peak hours
Chris KSeptember 13, 2015Amazing!!! You must get the smores, cookie shot, and cronuts!! Above and beyond delish ❤️
Arthur DanskinSeptember 15, 2018Pastries live up to the hype. Surprisingly nice courtyard in the back.
HKJanuary 13, 2019Nice place worth to stop by many times. I got the almond croissants and was perfect.
Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013If you're looking for great french pastries, don't miss this staggeringly good bakery from Dominique Ansel, former pastry chef at Daniel.
Mitra SalaselJanuary 9, 2016Skip cronut and cookie shot madness lines and instead do a sampling of the beautiful pavlovas, seasonal pastries and tarts in the cold case.
Naita ChamberlainDecember 2, 2016Almost everything. Never got the chance to try the front, but frozen s'more is to die for.
New York PostFebruary 21, 2013Try the Paris-New York, a traditional French pastry re-imagined as a tribute to the Snickers bar with dark chocolate ganache, peanut butter cream and salted caramel. Read more
Lodoe SengeJune 30, 20136:30 is perfect time to be in Que for Sunday and 6:00am on regular days if you are Qued up way behind when they open the door I think you should go home
Gio PanMay 7, 2017If they want to keep selling their cronut @ $6 they should make sure it tastes better than a half-stale donut with cheap-syrup-tasting filling and ultra sugary glazing.
There is a different line for the non-cronut items in the mornings. Don't leave without getting a DKA! WAAAY better than the cronut!
Alice M. HuynhSeptember 13, 2014Wanna have a Cronut? Be there by 9:20 on Monday morning. No need to stay in line for 5h! Also try the almond croissant!! Perfect combination!
Connie ChiuSeptember 18, 2014Dka! Dka! Dka! I can eat this forever. Go during sunshine. The outdoor garden is beautiful.
Dorothy ChanAugust 25, 2015Frozen s'more is the most. amazing. thing. Vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate bits and torched marshmallow and honey.
Serra CMarch 9, 2019Almond croissants and chocolate eclairs worth to wait. they are very rich and tasty. You should go early for cronuts
Eric StankovitzNovember 13, 2015Excellent bakery in Manhattan. I loved the frozen s'more and the chocolate chip cookie shot. That was to die for.
Divya MenonJuly 4, 2016DKA and freshly baked Madeleines my fav! Cookie shot is really cool and yum too. I am not a Cronut fan sorry!
ReemzJanuary 25, 2015Had to wait in line since 6:30am for the cronuts. Make sure the weather is permissible for the wait. They offer small snacks while waiting in line
The Wall Street JournalApril 4, 2012Mr. Ansel's interpretation of a Paris-Brest uses soft caramel, chocolate ganache and peanut butter cream. "It looks like a French classic," he said, "but it tastes like a Snickers bar." Read more
Nicholas BorgeNovember 21, 2017Cronuts. You'll be queueing for ages and have to get there early to even have a chance, but it's worth it.
Tariq AhmadJuly 23, 2017Cronut was worth the wait. Although they do make a limited number every day, so best to arrive before 11am.
Doug WamplerJanuary 4, 2014Perfectly chocolatey hot chocolate served at drinking temperature right away. No waiting for it to cool down to avoid scalding your mouth.
Elyse EstradaAugust 15, 2012The Tuscan salad sounds great in theory but too much yellow frisée as the only "green" in this salad with a few chunks of salami and a couple white beans. Overall "meh". Baked items look awesome.
Penny ChuangSeptember 26, 2016Amazing bakery with creative food! Love the DKA and the infamous cronut. Def would recommend it to my friends.- Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014The Salted Caramel Eclair should not be overlooked simply because the Cronut line is out the door - on my opinion it's just as exceptional, and without a long line.
As good a bakery as there is in the city. The madelines are must try’s.
LaviniaMarch 30, 2016If you're not willing to stay in line early in the morning don't go at all. The cronut is sold out by 10AM and nothing savory after 4PM. Don't waist your time! There's a François Payard 2 blocks up.
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..
NOctober 24, 2015Chocolate chip cookie shot! Yummmmm I don't even drink milk and found this to be an amazing creation! 🍪🍼
Heta ShethJuly 9, 2016Frozen s'more had that perfectly crispy thin layer outside and vanilla ice cream in between
