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.
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!
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
- Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014Some say the cronut is overrated. Those that say so have overlooked how delicate and perfectly executed this pastry is. It's worth the 90 minute wait in line - it's art not food.
Kelsey LeeApril 20, 2014Skip the Cronut and get a salted caramel eclair. Soft, doughy pastry that oozes salty sweet caramel filling. Topped with a few sea salt grains - it doesn't get better than this.
The pistachio dijon chicken salad sandwich is amazing! I get it on wheat bread to make it a little more healthy.
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!
Sierra BarkdollFebruary 1, 2017Absolutely amazing. His food creations are wonderful. Particularly loved the frozen s'more and the cookie shot
NOctober 24, 2015Chocolate chip cookie shot! Yummmmm I don't even drink milk and found this to be an amazing creation! 🍪🍼
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.- Ronald👽 S.September 9, 2022Cronuts are always SOLD OUT here! Gotta get here early while supplies last!
We loved their kouign amann and obviously their cronuts! The line wasn't bad at all.
N86 - GeminiAugust 6, 2017Their famous Cronuts always sold out ! Coffee is good, cookies shot is not my type but it popular here. Oh yeah, set outdoor :)
DwellStudioMay 25, 2012Our go-to stop for an afternoon espresso-fix and macaroon on those days when we're shuttling back and forth between our 6th Ave. studio and our Flagship store on #77Wooster.
DKA, any featured pastry, the cannele & definitely the Perfect Little Egg Sandwich!
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
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
HashtagNYUAugust 17, 2016Get here early to try the infamous Cronut! http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/145355234008/a-guide-to-impressing-your-nyc-visitors-just
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.
Kimberly PNovember 24, 2013Cronuts were def worth the wait - so good. Frozen s'mores were really good too.
Justin JonssonOctober 12, 2014Cronut? Not bad. Cookie shot? Disappointing. Frozen s'more? Amazing. You really need to try it. The only problem is that it doesn't travel well due to the ice cream contained within.
Gregg HananoJune 25, 2013I came here at 6:30am on a Tuesday and was about the 30th-ish person in line. Hopefully the cronut hype is dying. It's 7:14 and it doesn't look like we hit 100 people yet.
Julie SosciaSeptember 5, 2018Known for the cronut, Ansel's entire menu has great options. But you should definitely try the cronut.
Diane CimineJune 15, 2014So having shown up WAY too late for a cronut, I settled for a DKA and while pricey ($5.72 for a tiny muffin-sized thing), can't imagine the cronut could trump it for flavor, texture and overall WOW 😍
Ayedh AlamriApril 16, 2019The coffee was ok, i tried the famous cronut and it was delicious i would definitely recommend coming here.
AngelNovember 3, 2015You can pre-order cronuts 2 weeks in advance and other items online so you don't have to wait in line! DKA's > Cronuts
CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014Forget the Cronut, we think Dominique makes the best Cannele in town. And the Black & Blue Pavlova makes us weak in the knees!
Dorothy FigielAugust 25, 2013The cronut is an experience, but is actually a little too sweet for my palette. The DKA has a similar texture and is glazed instead of stuffed with icing - better balanced. Skip the line!
Carrie WJanuary 20, 2018Very popular place. We were lucky we didn’t have to queue for that long. The almond croissant was a bit too sweet though.
- I know I know too many choices but obviously you can't go wrong with anything here.
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.
Jared WickFebruary 20, 2015Almost always sold out of their specialties – you'll have to get their first thing in the morning and stand in line to get your hands on the coveted cronut.
Dominique Ansel BakeryMarch 28, 2013Gluten free items for Passover? Try the Mini Me Cake or the Black & Blue Pavlova (both also nut free)
Tariq AhmadJuly 23, 2017Cronut was worth the wait. Although they do make a limited number every day, so best to arrive before 11am.
Stina P.April 11, 2015the chocolate cookie shot really is worth it if you happen to come across the line on a lovely day🍼🍪
Ai KDecember 22, 2023The line is justified. Amazing croissants, pastries and equally as importantly coffees! Breakfast all day.
MsMaiSBSeptember 11, 2016Try Cookie shot & cronut, they are not available all day make sure you come in the right timing💭
Neli ParchikNovember 29, 2014Be prepared to stand in a long line if you're ordering cronuts - but it is totally worth it! They are amazing! 😍
Kinjil MathurDecember 15, 2014the holiday pastries are a step above their regular french pastries. Who knew that was even possible!
