MAGNOLIA’S BAKERY

Patisserie
4/5
8 reviews

You don't know New York until you've tasted Magnolia's cupcakes, those unhealthy little cakes covered in colorful icing. A famous institution in the neighborhood, especially since it was seen in the TV series Sex & the City. There is often a line, but you can go to one of the other addresses in the city (there are seven in New York). They are much less popular than the Bleecker Street shop, which was the first to be founded (in 1996), but the cupcakes are just as tasty.

INSOMNIA COOKIES

5/5
3 reviews

They're not the best cookies in New York (that title goes to Levain Bakery), but they're still delicious and they have the advantage of being available late into the night. Whether it's dark or white chocolate, M&M's, raisin, snickers, peanut butter, the cookies are always served warm. And when the chocolate melts in your mouth, happiness is not far away! In addition, the price is unbeatable, you can probably pay with your spare change. For those who can't live without them, Insomnia Cookies delivers at home...

LEVAIN BAKERY

Bakery
5/5
1 review

New Yorkers are ready to queue for a long time to get this cookie stamped best cookie in the city by a large number of foodies. Fortunately, this address is not the most popular (it is the original shop opened in 1995, which is on the Upper West Side), but in any case, the wait seems ridiculous when you finally bite into the precious sesame: melting and crispy at the same time, there is little chance that you have ever eaten a better one. Whatever your choice, you will be won over.

MURRAY’S BAGELS

Patisserie

Murray' S is essential by far as one of the best suppliers of bagels of Manhattan. Enter the mini trade, you have found in the mass and made as if you were what you want to avoid making you drive back to the benefit of the business guest. A bagel, that is worth it! The filling, you will be spoilt for choice. Try for example that with smoked salmon tablecloth of sour cream, classic. Specify the type of bread that you want (natural, cereals, grapes...) and you will leave your very well. Ask toasted (grilled), it is much better! And enjoy it in the street, there are few tables on site.

DAMASCUS BREAD AND PASTRY SHOP

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

The Halaby brothers did not leave their spirit of initiative in Syria. A very friendly bakery-pastry shop but above all, next door, an Arabic grocery store and the flavours of the Orient within easy reach: you can stroll among the bags of coffee, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, tubs or natural or flavoured olives bathed in oil... The house's specialty is the pita that you stuff with meat or falafel. To watch or taste.

THE HUNGARIAN PASTRY SHOP

Patisserie

A small Hungarian café with an offbeat atmosphere, frequented by writers and Columbia University students, located a few blocks away. According to the latter, it is indeed the only real café in the neighbourhood. The pastries are excellent, and the cake parts are huge. You can judge the quality of the smooth Russian coffee, even better when topped with whipped cream.

The terrace, opposite St John The Divine, is pleasant in summer.

MILK BAR EAST VILLAGE

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

If you're in the neighborhood, you're bound to stop in! Started by star David Chang, this bakery serves some of the best cookies and cakes in town, made by the owner and pastry chef Christina Tosi. You can enjoy them here or take them away. There are nine other locations in New York City, and you'll notice them by the long lines on the street... By the way, Christina Tosi's (dizzyingly large) cakes are so popular that an episode of the Netflix series Chef's Table was devoted to them!

CAFE GRUMPY

Patisserie

Grumpy for grumpy or grumpy, which is the opposite of the effect of the coffee at Grumpy's! This charming little establishment, two blocks from Bryant Park, is a bit off the beaten track: the coffee is excellent (it is home-roasted and the machines are apparently state-of-the-art) and the place is very pleasant. In short, this is a small café like in Europe, where they serve good coffee like in Italy with an efficient American service! Let's accompany it with a delicious pastry: muffin, cookie, pie...

La Bicyclette Bakery

Bakery

A real bakery as it exists (almost) only in France. Just look at the opening hours, quite unusual in the city that never sleeps: after 1pm, don't expect to offer yourself a good chocolate croissant or the best baguette in New York (and we weigh our words), you'll have to wait until the next day. Everything is fresh and home-made, and the coffee is excellent too. The owner, a Frenchman, is a globe-trotting baker who made his debut in France before leaving for the four corners of the world to make the country shine.

LA COLOMBE

Bakery

With its warm atmosphere and bright setting, this coffee shop is the perfect place for a coffee break when visiting the neighborhood. Many New York University students work here, which gives the place a studious and peaceful atmosphere. We like the wooded decoration and the large bay windows which allow us to indulge in the art of people-watching, that is to say to observe the passers-by while quietly sipping a frothy latte. You can nibble good breads and pastries on the spot.

TAIYAKI

Glacier

This multicolored ice cream with a fish-shaped cone has been causing a stir and flooding social networks for the past few years, and rightly so: it's a delicious wonder that comes straight from Japan. Apart from vanilla and chocolate, the ice cream comes in unexpected flavours, such as matcha and black sesame. The tip of the cone is filled withanko, a typical Japanese red bean paste. It's surprisingly good and, to make matters worse, beautiful to look at. On weekends, in summer, it's very crowded!

COLSON PATISSERIE

Patisserie €€

This pretty French-style pastry offers you mouth-watering pies, muffins, palm trees and cake pieces for a snack, but also beautiful fresh salads and sandwiches for lunch. The hot drinks are excellent, the coffee is worthy to be served in a coffee shop. You can enjoy all this on the small terrace in summer, or in Prospect Park, which is ten minutes walk away. For the record, Colson was born in Belgium, so you won't be surprised to see delicious Liège waffles in the window!

SUPERMOON BAKEHOUSE

Patisserie

The rival of the cronut (the famous halfway croissant/donut pastry created by French chef Dominique Ansel) is the cruffin, a cross between a croissant and a muffin that was born in this shop. It's good and rich as can be, so if you're on a diet and looking for something a little lighter, know that Supermoon also makes croissants. As long as you avoid the delicious ones that are double-filled, of course... The candy pink shop, with its BITE ME, NYC boxes stacked against the wall, is very cute.

FERRARA BAKERY & CAFE

Glacier

This Italian pastry shop was founded in 1892, and has never moved or closed since, even during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today, Ferrara remains a family affair with fifth generation pastry chefs behind the stove. This institution claims to be the first espresso bar to open in the United States, we don't know if it's true, but in any case we love the authentic, no-frills setting and the rich cakes and ice cream. Try it at least once.

LE PETIT PARISIEN

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

Le Petit Parisien is your little corner of France in Harlem! Stop in for a viennoiserie and a good coffee. We appreciate the fact that the croissants and pains au chocolat are several dollars cheaper than in most French bakeries in New York. The place, all in length, is very warm, with its brick walls covered with paintings (if you have a crush on a painting, you can buy it!). For a more substantial hunger, the sandwiches are just right.
