Amanda Kowal KenyonMay 30, 2016Perfect 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.

Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014Dominique 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!

Laura Delgado RanalliSeptember 24, 2014Everything 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
- Johanna SungMay 18, 2018Ansel’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
The Corcoran GroupJune 13, 2013Ohhh 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.
Josephine SonOctober 21, 2014I 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!
- Chad HornerApril 30, 2016the 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!
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!
Rorriz_ DhawiDecember 11, 2017i came here for the cronut doughnuts but they are sold out!!! you have to be there before 1PM to get them... i tried the spfe cheesecake but i disnt like it! i love their cookies Shout😍👌🏼 delicious
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.
SJuly 24, 2015U have to be there when they open early in the morning so u can get everything u want 💔 everything was sold out except for the frozen s'mores and they were heartbreakingly good.
Mary M MottaJuly 12, 2017the 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.
Christina ChinNovember 3, 2019Cronut 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.
Heba-I-amSeptember 16, 2017Petunia 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 🤤🤤
Cagla IcacanFebruary 20, 2018Magical combination of croissant and doughnut: cronut ❤️ Make sure you check this place out every month for different flavors!
ブルーノDecember 9, 2016Place 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.. 😋
Hani EFebruary 15, 2015Fantastic 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.
Maina KhojaSeptember 8, 2019kouign 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.
Tasting TableOctober 10, 2014Dominique Ansel now makes insanely good banana bread. Ansel has put his signature spin on the homey dessert, making the loaf lighter, balanced & encased with the perfect craggy, caramelized crust. Read more
Rick NijhuisFebruary 16, 2017The 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 :)
TingJuly 20, 2015Everything 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.
Özge AbanozNovember 19, 2014Ice 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..
Kevin DudleyNovember 19, 2014The 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.
- 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.
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
IrinaJuly 30, 20141. 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.
Caroline DengMarch 29, 2015Come 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.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014The 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
Paige CSeptember 1, 2014So 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!
Nathan S.January 6, 2016My 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.
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.
Jon BillsFebruary 6, 2015The 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.
Rimsha JavaidJuly 19, 2017The 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!
Tim BushnellMay 11, 2017A delightful and delicious bakery with an assortment of pastries that include the original cronut. Everything is artfully prepared and packaged, and absolutely delicious
- 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
Reagan BarbosaMay 8, 2018The 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.
Off The MenuOctober 15, 2015Ice Cream Sandwich: Leave it up to Dominique Ansel to create the best ice cream sandwich of all time in delicious, caramelized croissant with two scoops of homemade ice cream. Vanilla or chocolate. Read more
Markus AlvermannMarch 10, 2017Cronuts 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.
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?!
Dominique Ansel BakeryDecember 18, 2013The 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.
Norah AMay 14, 2018The most delicious S’mores that I have ever taste, and I really was fascinated by the Cronut it’s a really worth place to come.
Sergo GNovember 10, 2014Don't want to wait on the line to get a Cronut? Pre-order yours online 2 weeks in advance and just stroll in and pick them up. Orders start at 11AM every Monday. http://cronutpreorder.com
Ashley ChanFebruary 12, 2017Tried 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.
Jackie FerrerMay 20, 2013Croissants- excellent. Mind blowing? The DKR!! It's croissants hotter sibling. Outside- Sweet & crunchy. Inside-. Amazingly flaky. If you are lucky enough to get the CRONUT do it. Croissant + donut- 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!
