    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.

    Loved sitting on the air conditioned back patio eating the sorbet. Also had the passion fruit cronut but it didn't stick around for a photo.

    Excellent EVERYTHING!!!! Just get here! The Dominique Ansel bakery at 189 Spring St. in Soho in New York City is one of my absolute favorite places. Everything here is delicious !! No matter what you try absolutely delicious From food for a lovely lunch or breakfast, dessert, pastries , cappuccino, lemonade, the best!!! Just get here. And, RELAX and ENJOY!

    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.

    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.

    DKA - Dominique's Kouign Amann x2

    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

    DKA and cronut (Vietnamese coffee and condensed milk)
    Sally Z.

    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!

    Inside the Cronut of May 2026- Strawberry Milkshake with Brown Butter Ganache
    Wendy T.

    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!

    Phenomenal bakery items and great coffee. I came with my mother on a food tour of NYC and we got the a pistachio bakery item as well as a coconut and chocolate item. Adequate prices as well. There was also an area in the back that had space to eat even during the winter time. Came on 1/7/2026.

    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.

    Cronut of the Month
    Bella G.

    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 :)

    Try the DKA
    Mark B.

    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.

    What time do cronuts typically sellout?

    These days you can usually get a cronut at any time. However the specialty ones will tend to run out early afternoon.

    Is this the location in SoHo?

    Yes

    What flavor is the September 2021 cronut? I couldn't find it online at the preorder form or in the FAQ

    Fig and almond Cronut for September. You can always check their Instagram.

    Are dogs allowed outside on the patio?

    The best answer will come straight from the bakery, so just give them a call. They do answer the phone; I say that because sometimes it can seem like some other places don't.

    Do I need reservations?

    No, there usually is a long line outside on a good day. During Covid is the only time I have just walked in with no lines outside. They jave a sitting area and a garden area in the back.

    Can I order for delivery or pick up? And wanna get the blizzard bear one, do they have it at the Dominique ansel bakery and the Dominique ansel kitchen as well?

    No delivery to my knowledge. Pick up yes. Blizzard bear at the bakery and kitchen.

    Are there any vegan options and if so what are they?

    Lydia,glad you asked.There aren't any vegan items.Did you know there was a large vegan rally by Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine against Dominique Ansel? They were comparing his cronuts to KFC's Double Down sandwich,that they were a… 

    Are there still big lines for cronuts? Are they selling out?

    There's no long lines in the beginning of the week. I went couple times on Monday and Tuesday around 9am and there was no line and plenty of trays with fresh cronuts.

    Open on 7/04/18?

    Not that I know of

It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.
