I felt like I was walking into a farmers market, except instead of baskets of fruit, it was a whole lineup of gorgeous summer fruit tarts! For a limited time only, Dominique Ansel just transformed their pastry case with 10 summer fruit tarts. I was so excited to see so many asian-inspired flavors here, like guava, mango sticky rice, lychee, pink grapefruit, sudachi, and more. I seriously wanted to try every single one! The fruit tart is $10.5 each. Quite pricey but you can tell the fruits they use are of really good quality. ＊Blackberry & Guava Tart * My favorite of the haul, and I just love anything guava. I don't think I've ever seen blackberries this plump before. Paired with the guava jam, it was super juicy, fruity, and tasted like summer. ＊Pink Grapefruit, Honey & Passionfruit Tart * My second favorite! The honey-poached grapefruit had zero bitterness surprisingly, and the passionfruit jam added a tropical, tangy sweetness. ＊Key Lime & Sudachi Tart * Sudachi desserts are so hard to find in NYC! It reminded me of yuzu and mellowed out the acidity of key lime. The sudachi marshmallow was light and not overly sweet either. ＊Mango & Coconut Sticky Rice Tart Definitely the crowd pleaser. It's mango sticky rice transformed into a tart, with creamy coconut rice pudding tucked right in the center. ＊Rambutan, Lychee & Japanese Black Sugar Tart While I loved how juicy and sweet the lychee was, the Okinawa black sugar jelly threw me off a little. I personally didn't think it paired that well with the delicate lychee flavor. ＊Mango & Horchata Cronut $7.75 You can never skip the monthly cronut here! The pastry was fluffy as always, though the ganache was on the sweeter side. read more

Go for the classic cronut and their seasonal items. Wowed by the cute outdoor patio area and manageable line (nothing over an hour). Ambiance is very whimsical, picture fairy lights in a green courtyard! Menu - the passionfruit cronut and watermelon soft serve. read more

Cronut was alright Finally got around to trying the cronut here. Stopped by early morning on a weekend when I was in the neighborhood and the line was thankfully non existent (there was one when I walked out so guess I was lucky). Staff is friendly and interior is clean and minimalistic. Cronut was good but a bit too sweet for me; the dka/ kouign amann was better. I don't regret having waited out the cronut craze after trying it. Definitely inventive for its time but not worth queueing up for a long time. Glad I tried it though. I don't mind coming back for the kouign amann but I think I'll try some of his newer creations at papa d'amour before I return. read more

Ehhh... the jury is still out. It's quite expensive, and I'm not sure it's worth all the hype. Overall, I'd give it a 6 out of 10. Iced Mocha Latte: 2 out of 10. The mocha wasn't properly blended into the drink, which made it disappointing. Definitely not worth it. Cronut - 8 out of 10. The signature pastry created and trademarked by this bakery. It does taste like something out of this world. A hybrid of a croissant and a doughnut, it was flaky, rich, and enjoyable - with a delicious filling. While the Cronut was the highlight of the visit, it was very pricey, Im not convinced the experience matches the hype. read more

The cronut is truly worth it. It's one of the rare desserts where I feel like it's the right amount of rich, sweet, and light all at once -- very hard to do. read more

Date: Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026 Time: around 11:30am What: Pastry Takeaway *Cronut - Caramelized Banana Pudding & PIneapple *DKA - Dominique's Kouign Amann x2 A friend was in the area and offered to pick up some pastries to bring back to our hotel. I first had a cronut in Japan about 10+ years ago. I was not impressed. There was waaay too much going on with the salted plum, the gooey center cream, the sugary outside. I just didn't like it. Plus it was waaay too sweet. Decided to give it another shot in NYC. The flavor of the day was what I listed above. I thought the flavors were fine. A tad too sweet this time, but nothing too extreme. I do think the cronut is meant to be eaten right away. For some reason, the cream center always seems to bring down the flaky outside. It takes away from what makes it light. Overall, I did enjoy this one more than the one in asia. The DKA I thought tasted like nothing. The kouign amann I love back home at b patisserie in sf has a delicious crunchy bruleed outside and is just so buttery and decadent. This just felt like any other pastry with very little flavor. I actually thought this could benefit from more sugar. Overall better than my first experience at another location, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. REVIEW #4006 read more

The pastries were amazing and lived up to the hype! I tried the popular cronut (this month's flavor was Vietnamese coffee and condensed milk) and the DKA. They were perfectly flaky with light airy layers and so buttery and crisp on the outside. So addictive! I thought the outdoor seating in the back patio had such a cozy and charming ambiance with plenty of tables and chairs. Even though there was a line getting the pastries, I didn't wait very long and service was efficient. I'm so glad I tried this spot and looking forward to trying more monthly cronut flavors! read more

Okay, okay-- the cronut is delightfully delicious, and it's crazy that not a single monthly flavor has been repeated! This month of May's flavor is strawberry milkshake and brown butter ganache. And it rocked! The texture of that sugary donut with layers is done really well, as some other places have pretty dry versions. It held well even with the cream inside. The cream was creamy and had a milky strawberry flavor reminiscent of those Yan Yan sticks with the strawberry flavor dip (IYKYK) or strawberry pocky. And that ganache?? My favorite part! Was a little mind-tricked since the ganache was pink like strawberry, but that brown butter was rich, deep, flavorful, and so, so good! All together, it was a buttery, milky, strawberry party-- definitely sweet but wonderful :D However, I've tried other treats from this shop (as well as the Las Vegas and Papa d'amour locations), and they're not quite as impressive as the cronut. Maybe entremets aren't my thing, but even the famed DKA (kouign Amman) is not very flavorful to me, and the texture is a bit of a turn off for me. The matcha strawberry tiramisu cake from this visit was all right; it's beautiful but "OK" for taste . The white chocolate leaf was purely for decor and not flavor. The cake part was not super flavorful in terms of matcha and was overpowered by the jam. Two bites of in, and I was okay not eating the rest. The garden seating area in the back is really nice! One part is like an indoor patio and the second portion is outside and covered. There's self serve water and a restroom too. It wasn't crowded at all on a weekday morning. While I can't vouch for all the creations in the display case, I'm definitely "team cronut" and will be returning next time for the newest Cronut flavor! read more

This month cronut flavor is Mango and Horchata. Scrumptious. It's definitely worth $7.75. The mango jelly inside is sweet and it has a slight tang. I recommend you go there and get it before Dominique switch to another flavor. The iced coffee is standard. It balances the cronut. read more

I have had a delicious cronut from this place for the first time courtesy my wonderful coworker. This was beyond fantabulous. I don't know the name of the one I had so is if someone can tell me that would be great. I can't rate service and ambiance but I hope to visit one day. read more

Pastries galore! Light lunch fare too. Garden/patio in the back - one with AC/heat, another just open air with a covering. Corridors were tight inside, but part of the experience. Was incredible to see all of the pastries and materials being hauled in (from Dominque Ansel Workshop) through the front door and brought to the back. I was bummed to learn there's only a seasonal Cronut - no plain or singular glaze - but the staff member was kind and mentioned a DAK would be a good next choice. Fried/glazed croissant type of pastry - no cream. But was good! Maybe next time the cronut flavor will be even more appealing. It's a reason to come back :) read more

First time here and feel like I'm late to the party... At first, I was disappointed as I wanted to try the infamous cronut, but not into the flavor of the month, a banana pudding...but what we had instead lived up to this bakery's reputation. Super good stuff! We tried their signature pastry, the DKA (described as similar to a caramelized croissant) and the toasted coconut chocolate croissant filled with coconut almond frangipane--a wow combo. The eating area in back was a welcome surprise. And the outdoor patio would be perfect on a warmer day. The nearby table caught my attention eating an amazing "Perfect Little Egg Sandwich" and the Avocado Toast. Next time... Sampled many bakeries on my recent visit and this was absolutely the best. read more

Many years ago, I remember there was a crazy cronut trend. Not sure if it's still super popular nowadays, but I remember someone got one for me and it was delicious. This time I tried their brown sugar DKA and it's a pretty solid pastry. It was muffin-shaped and perfectly flaky with beautiful croissant layers. The outside had a nice crunchy, caramelized sugar crust whereas the center was slightly gooey. I definitely want to try their other pastries another time! read more

It was okay. I think it's tough to be a standout bakery in NYC with how oversaturated the market is, but this place is decent. There's also plenty of seating which defintely makes it a nice choice if you're looking to sit down and enjoy your pastries as well. Their strawberry matcha tiramisu was pretty good!! Their cronuts are always solid, but none of their other pastries really stuck out to me. read more

12pm on a Saturday and it was NOT crowded at all with plenty of seating in the back. Dominique is known for their cronuts. They only have one flavor a month. Hoijicha Brown Sugar Cronut 10/10 Chocolate Eclair 10/10 Hot mint green tea 10/10 - the flavor packs a punch! This was our first time trying a cronut. It may not have been hot and fresh but the texture was still 10/10. Service was excellent; they share in the excitement of your experience of visiting the famous bakery. Definitely worth a stop to pick up a cronut! read more

What a nice way to start the day with a cronut and delicious coffee in the cute back garden. The monthly cronut flavor was strawberry with something, vanilla creme? my friend had the ham & cheese croissant she craved and a tea she was quite happy with. I took a couple desserts to go but bad move as they traveled about for a few hours then spent a couple days in the fridge. So no comment. The pastry cases are enticing but my friend loved the flourless chocolate cookie. Counter server charmed read more

If you're looking for the pinnacle of French pastry in NYC, Dominique Ansel should be at the top of your list. Every item here feels like a masterclass in technique of delicate, balanced, and so thoughtfully crafted that it genuinely rivals some of the best patisseries in France. The iconic cronut lives up to the hype. This month's coffee version has a perfectly crisp, sugared exterior that gives way to tender, custard filled layers with a warm coffee aroma. The glaze is silky, lightly sweet, and not overpowering as it's just enough to highlight the pastry instead of masking it. It's indulgent, but never heavy. The Yuzu Huckleberry Tart is A standout for flavor complexity. The bright, citrusy yuzu pairs beautifully with the deeper sweetness of huckleberry, while the purple cream topping gives it a stunning finish. The tart shell is buttery, crisp, and structured which is the kind you can only get from a bakery that understands true French precision. Fresh, refined, and so elegant. The Pistachio Galette Grand Le Pastry is a dream for pistachio lovers. The filling is nutty, aromatic, and just sweet enough, wrapped in ultra flaky laminated pastry. The toasted pistachios on top add texture and fragrance, making each bite feel like a layered pastry experience rather than something simple. It's comforting and luxurious. Dominique Ansel isn't just Instagram famous as it's the real deal. Every pastry shows technique, restraint, and intention. If you want French pastry in NYC that tastes like it came straight out of Paris, this is it. Delicate, elevated, and worth every bite. read more

This place was completely extraordinary. This quite literally may be the best breakfast food I've ever gotten to enjoy. I have tried 3 of the pastries: the Mango Cronut, The DKA Croissant, and the Pain au Chocolat Croissant. All 3 of these completely exceeded my expectations and were extremely rich, delicious, and flavorful. The chocolate in the chocolate croissant was very rich and creamy, the glazed crust on the DKA was very tasty, and the buttery and soft interior of the Cronut was amazing. Other than that, there are 3 main seating areas, one in the back and 2 outside, all 3 being cozy and nice. When being served, the food comes instantly and if you have it warm, it adds two extra minutes making the wait time phenomenal. 10/10 experience, 5 stars. read more

I was excited to come here, as they've been famous for the cronut for years. They have a nice selection of pastries, cookies, ice cream sandwiches and more. They have a really cool dessert, a cookie shaped into an oblong shape, filled with milk. The filling for the cronut is changed monthly. This month it was an apple filling. I didn't think I would like the cronut, but I did. It was delicious! read more

While traveling around Manhattan, hitting some bakeries and coffee shops, I stopped in at Dominique Ansel. It came highly recommended, and is the home of the original cronut, so I knew it had to be on the list to visit. There was quite a selection of options, and the cronut was pretty special. They even had a cute little outdoor garden space to sit and enjoy our food. It took them a while to get us everything we ordered, but all in all, I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. read more

The employee behind the counter was friendly and efficient. He made sure to serve the customers in an orderly manner. I didn't stay at the bakery just purchased several items to take home. I bought a white chocolate cookie and an eclair that were excellent. However the plain croissant unlike a real French croissant had more holes and air than it should. The chocolate croissants had too much chocolate and once I cut it in half, I couldn't bring myself to eat it. The almond croissant was too sweet and stuck to the plate like a mound of slightly undercooked dough! I payed over $60 for the items and was very disappointed. The seating area looked pleasant but it's not worth 20 minutes to go to for mediocre bakery items. read more

Took me forever to try this bakery after the hype died down. I only knew this place to be famous for their cronuts but when I came in I saw the Team Cronut vs DKA so i had to try both.

I absolutely adore this bakery. We come monthly for their updated cronut recipe that they never update more than once. Their KBA's are absolutely to die for. Love the cookies shot (can't be taken to go) - the vanilla bean milk inside is to die for. Not to mention the toasted marshmallow!!
