We love their plain and marzipan- and nut-laden pistachio croissants, insanely chocolatey, crispy chocolate chip cookies, blackberry-almond danishes, and blueberry tarts with crisp, flaky crusts. Read more.
Their filled croissants are standouts, filled with passionfruit or ham and cheese; the raspberry muffin is like a pound cake. Classics like a Gateau Breton and a St. Honoré are also done perfectly. Read more.
We love the morning bun, a croissant dough snail with a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar; the liege waffle, with soft, elastic dough, pearls of sugar, and a perfect crust; and an actively buttery palmier. Read more.
Floppy, buttery croissants and pain au chocolat, both a little unorthodox but easy to love; a silky-creamed and intensely nutty hazelnut cake; and fruit tarts with golden shortbread-like tart shells. Read more.
Their croissants and chocolate chip cookies are excellent—but don't overlook their flaky-crusted squares of fruit tarts, superior oat streusel-topped raspberry muffins, or weekend jelly doughnuts. Read more.
Their croissants (in our NYC Top 5), tarts (like this not-too-goopy, crispy-topped pecan tart) and canelés are more than good enough to have us coming back. Read more.
We love seasonal sweets like the spicy-crusted linzer tart; but all year, you'll find one of the best coconut cakes in NYC; extra-buttery scones; and mini vanilla, caramel, or chocolate profiteroles. Read more.
Fluffy, tasty baked goods here, perfect to stop in for breakfast or lunch. We recommend the French baguettine and the almond brioche toast. Yum!
Want to delve into a traditional NY bagel? The fluffy bagels at this Midtown East establishment are not only delicious, but very cheap. Get it with some cream cheese and lox for the classic sandwich.
Another Magnolia, this time serving up delicious treats in Midtown. Everyone knows about the great cupcakes but if you haven't had it yet, try the banana pudding. Fantastic.
This location, tucked away in Rockefeller Center, serves up the same delicious treats as the other Bouchons. The macarons get the most attention here but we love the Nutter Butter cookies!
Get the banana pudding and some red velvet cupcakes. Eat it all in one sitting, rinse, repeat.
This cafe has international locations and serves organic food in a warm and inviting ambiance, we absolutely love this place!
My go to spot on UES for a cafe, sandwich or a treat. Someone might be taking a piano lesson in the back.
A little slice of Britain in NYC. Kitschy decor. Proper English cooking and of course proper tea. Don't forget to visit their shop next door.
Green bakery. Reduce your carbon footprint & satisfy your sweet tooth.
With it's quiet, cozy, and unpretentious charm- the atmosphere here is wonderful.
If you ever find yourself unemployed in the West Village, grab your laptop and head to Grounded. Good music, good coffee, and free wi-fi.
The establishment’s delightful array of portion-conscious treats—such as mini-muffins and sandwiches—are all made with organic ingredients and sweetened with brown sugar. Perfect with your cuppa joe.

Great coffee and great professional service! Try the coffee from Guatemala with a pumpkin cream cheese muffin.
Fun and cut café serving delicious coffee and Bushwick Egg Creams! Try the pesto & mozzarella panini. Learn how to play Chess on Wednesday nights.
Cute but overcrowded. They’re serving stumptown coffee, but it’s not great. The muffins are yummy though.
wyckoff starr is the only choice for real coffee in my neighborhood. it's good, a large is either $2.25 or $2.26 depending on who rings you up - the $2.25 coffee is just as good as the $2.26 coffee
OMG! What a Coffee!!! They are now selling awesome Freeze Dried Coffee to take home. Totally cool!
Get the Mexican mocha. The warm, spicy flavors of Mexican hot chocolate with a caffeinated finish.
The Coconut Bubble Tea is the best drink on the menu. Plus, if you're hungry, their chicken sandwiches are DELICIOUS!!!!
get their egg bagel or their everything bagel with scallion and bacon cream cheese. fast delivery before 11 am on the weekends.
We're all in for the warm brioche donut holes. Absolutely get them with the Nutella filling.
Staff Pick! Eleanor (Education): Wonderful pastries, but beyond that they serve Stumptown Coffee, which is now roasted in Red Hook. In addition, a small drip coffee is only $1!
If you're trying to be productive over your coffee, sit in the back. The view of Cortelyou road through the big front windows is way too interesting and distracting.
Grab a cup of deliciously strong coffee or enjoy a plate of BBQ pork ribs or the Loco Moco Burger. Free WiFi and board games at the table.
The sweetest baristas are preparing the best brews – you’ll smell it as soon as you enter the tiny café. Try the espresso and the cortado.
Start your morning off with a cup of Stumptown Coffee or Samboya Tea, and a Vegan Scramble. Or come during the evening for live music, open mic night and PBRs.
Amazing atmosphere...a wall of leather-bound books, tin tile ceiling, beauliful rose garden patio, piano, and great food and coffee. The owners and customers are friendly & tend to be very laid back.
Great place to relax and stare at beautiful French pastries. -Eric Wolitzky, Top Chef Just Desserts
the Intelligentsia espresso if fantastic: rich, bursting with fruit afternotes. Pairs well with their blackberry and mango muffins ... nom nom
Can anyone say Red Velvet cupcakes???? Oh My God.... (Christopher loves them) When Al and I are in the city it's a definite stop. -Caroline Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ
This tart won for having an exceptional crust that was flaky, light, tender, and just a bit crisp around the edges. The filling has a silky smooth and creamy texture, but not too sweet. Read more.
