First cardamom! Didn't know what to expect but it somehow exceeded my expectations. The bun was airy yet with a nice bite, perfectly sweet & sticky, and gone in 60 seconds. The best little midday pick me up in the city. Staff was a delight. Inside it's warm & cozy, and I could imagine adding a hot cup of coffee to my order only would've elevated my quick stay. read more

Ok guys here's my eclectic opinion on this spot. It's a small quaint spot, but a nice vibe to sit in the back & chill or meetup w/ friends. It's also a very busy spot. Note: Order boxes of these delicious buns & cakes for Office events, House parties, Bridal Showers, Birthdays , Home on weekends drinking tea or coffee etc. I ordered (4) buns. Two Cardamoms very moist & tasty with a hint of bergamot. I may be wrong but the taste is very exotic w/ out loads of sugar like most bakeries. I'm diabetic so that's important to me. The other (2) were the Brown sugar & Walnut, again very tasty & the cinnamon bun. All yummy but we all have our preferences. So, if you haven't been yet you need to patronage this spot you won't regret it. Plus, constant patrons coming & waiting on line to place orders. Awesome! says a lot. I'm never impressed with the size of a place, but the influx of foot traffic & cleanliness. Friendly staff! I've visited Malmo, Sweden & it's nice to know when I have guest visiting I can buy good pastries from here to impress w/ out the sugar rush. I recommend this spot, it's trendy. read more

I came in on a rainy Sunday with my parents. We got a cardamon bun which my dad really liked, a vanilla bun which was good but sweet, and a cheese, tomato, and turkey sandwich on their sourdough bread which was by far my favorite. There is some seating and the staff are lovey. Not sure how long of a line I would wait in but the sandwich is worth coming back for. read more

I have had a princess cake for over 30 years on my birthday, and hands down this is the worst one I've ever tasted. They unfortunately do not use marzipan (although they promised they do via email), and half the inside of the cake is whipped cream. The cake itself is extremely dense, and whatever they used for the "marzipan" was so bitter is made us sick. I tried to contact the bakery to make it right and they just ghosted me. For $150, this is absurd and actually a scam. They should be ashamed of themselves for lying about their products like this, and unfortunately this is the consequence of terrible customer service. Take your business elsewhere... read more

I love their cinnamon bun bread. I wished I made another visit before returning to CA. I want to get their brown sugar walnut. They also had a good selection of coffee and caffeine test.

I came here when this place first opened, and it's been awhile since I've been back. Happy to see that it survived Covid, and had a line out the door! This placed introduced me to the cardamon bun, and I have been itching to have it again! The guy behind the counter was a one-man show, and he was real cool and nice. I ordered: - 2 cardamon buns - 1 almond bun - 1 sesame roll - 1 sesame bread loaf I'd love to try a coffee next time I visit. read more

Reviewing live--- in shop!! Great little bakery and coffee shop. This is the perfect spot for breakfast pastries. No frills and trendy pastries just good classics!! I recommend- - the blueberry crumble. Soooo good - the cardamom bun - bready but sweet. - the Swedish chocolate ball - my partner in crime loved it. A little sweet for me. But still good for that chocolate fix! Everything was delish and not super sweet which I LOVE. Maybe 10 little 2 top tables inside! read more

Made a spontaneous visit here on a Saturday afternoon for a pastry snack. Service was quick. Limited tables - both indoors + 2 outside. I tried the Cardamom Bun with no expectations and wow - it was delicious! It had a firm, layered texture on the outside with a soft, fluffy inside. Perfectly sweet, spiced, and fragrant. Highly recommended! read more

It's very difficult for me to say "cardamom bun" without it coming out "cardamom bum". I'm not sure why, but the fine folks at Fabrique don't seem to have trouble interpreting that what I want is one of these crazy little pastries. Probably because they sell a lot of them, and no wonder: they are fragrant, and texturally fun, and utterly delicious. And now that I've tried them, I think I like the cinnamon buns even better. They are very similar in structure, and both are not too sweet, but absolutely a treat. If you want to verge all the way into savory, pick up some of their seeded crackers as well, which go well in any cracker application you can think of. read more

Excellent coffee and pastries .. I had the pleasure of eating a saffron bun. WTH was I missing? I had no idea those were that good ! The flat white was smaller than I expected but it was well done and the milk was steam as perfect as I can remember. The server at the counter was gorgeous and wore a smile. Great experience.. the ambience could have been better in my opinion but the service made up for it. read more

I had the sugared version of the bun and a cappuccino. The morning crew was very helpful and fast. The pastry tasted buttery and quite sweet of course, on the heavy side. I expected it to be a bit raised and fluffy. Still the place is so pleasant and good for conversations. Not noisy! read more

As much as I would love to replicate something like the glorious cardamom bum, I think I should leave it to Frabrique. The Swedish bakery perfects this sweet treat.

I've known about this bakery for a while but only passed by once several months ago prior to going to a JBF Platform event. As I still had ample amount of time, I decided to go in and try a small pastry. The woman inside was friendly. This place competes with La Cabra for the best version of the Danish Kardemummabullar/Cardamom Bun in the city. By comparison to the one there as both fall under very similar price points, I slightly preferred the one here. By comparison, it is less sugary and a bit less buttery making it so the spice shines more. In short, if you prefer a bit more sweetness and more akin to a sweet bun spiced with cardamom, go to La Cabra. If you prefer a stronger cardamom flavor and a bit of sweetness to balance out the spice, go here. Both are good albeit pricey specialty spots though. read more

Very solid bakery that replicated the pastries that I ate while I was in Sweden! There were plenty of options to choose from and the staff was super friendly in recommending their favorites. I opted for the brown sugar walnut bun. I loved how there was a balanced sweetness and had a soft texture on the inside with some sugar on top. Coming here on a Saturday morning, there were a decent amount of tables available in the back but I would say that seating is still limited. For the price and the fact that NYC doesn't have many Swedish focused bakeries, Fabrique is definitely a gem and I will be back! read more

Cute spot for coffee and a snack near Chelsea Market. It's a small space and you order at the counter and they bring the drinks and food to you. Coffee is good and served in proper cups with saucers. Pastries and buns are delicious and well sized. They also have sandwiches and you can buy loaves of bread to go. The staff are all lovely. Prices are mid- high but worth it. read more

Fantastic cardamom buns and breads. Few other establishments can rival the cardamom bun at Fabrique, which I consider the top tier. I brought a wheat loaf to a Thanksgiving gathering and it was quickly devoured. Cinnamon and walnut buns are also good. Service is quick and helpful. I've only taken food to go, but it looks like there is a small but comfortable seating area as well. read more

1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 1/1 Value; 0.5/1 Ambience; 1/1 Service I cannot believe it took me ages to finally make my way to Fabrique as a so-called cardamom-bun fan, but boy am I glad that I finally have! Fabrique Bakery is a narrow space, intimate space tucked in the Meatpacking Distract with a charming European atmosphere. The display of rustic, crusty loaves and perfectly golden buns is incredibly photogenic for those inclined (and is famous for it too!). The staff was friendly and fast, and despite there always being a line, they keep it moving expediently. There is minimal seating in this otherwise small cafe, however, it is not a great study/work space due to how cramped it is. The tables also did not seem to be cleaned as regularly. One interesting aspect of the design was the semi-open concept that allows patrons to have a glimpse into the baking and craftsmanship process. Although I came for the cardamom bun, they were out for the day when I stopped by and I settled for a cinnamon bun. Even then, it was life changing! Fabrique's is a much lighter cinnamon bun compared to the traditional American iteration. The sweetness is balanced and nuanced to allow the natural, aromatic spice to shine through. The actual pastry is slightly chewy, but is light and soft; the sugar sprinkled atop the pastry adds a nice crunch for a textural difference. The bun was also extremely fresh and tasted as though they were made with care and dedication. Having tried so many cinnamon buns in and around the city, Fabrique's now easily tops this list. The latte was strong, but had an overly acidic taste that I did not enjoy as much. In this economy, the combination of such a high quality, fresh pastry with a latte for $11.25 is a great value! I would definitely want to return for second helpings to hopefully finally trying their famous cardamom buns! read more

Fabrique is a Swedish bakery known for their signature cardamom buns which were absolutely divine and a unique treat! They were perfectly spiced, fragrant, and fresh - crispy & sugar-crusted on the exterior and soft in the middle. The bakery is very snug inside with limited seating but the open, old-school brick design adds to the atmosphere and it's cool to be able to watch the chefs prepare pastries in the back. There was a line, but service was quick! A bit on the pricier side but very much worth a try particularly for their unique, quality offerings (coming from a non-NYC local where cardamom/other spiced pastries can be difficult to find, let alone done very well!). Will be back! read more

Excellent cardamom buns and other pastries. I got the cardamom bun and my sister got a walnut bun to try something different. Both are excellent. I'm sure we can spend time waxing on the differences between this bun and some other places' buns and debating which is the best, but why do that to yourself? Both buns were soft, fluffy, buttery, delicious and full of flavor. If a Swedish/Danish grandmother made these for me, I would beg to be adopted. Alas, the guys working the shop weren't grandmas but they were still very nice. read more

It was a quiet afternoon, and after a long day of walking, I was in desperate need of a snack. I spotted a nearby bakery and decided to give it a try. There were only two customers inside, which made me hesitate for a moment--but when I saw both of them order the Cardamom Bun without hesitation, I took it as a good sign and did the same. I took my first bite with zero expectations, and it completely blew me away. The texture was spot on--crunchy and firm on the outside, yet soft and bouncy on the inside. And the flavor? It reminded me of chai--warmly spiced but not overpowering, with just the right hint of sweetness. Even in the afternoon, it was incredible. I can only imagine how amazing it must be fresh out of the oven in the morning! read more

If you'd like the salted pieces in your cookie, you'll enjoy that it's not overdone. And it's really well priced. The location is cute. Reminds me of Paris a little small but chic.

Freshly baked goods and brewed drinks! The customer service was phenomenal. Inside it's a tight space. Majority of the area is dedicated to the kitchen and there's a tight dining area where a lot of the younger generation likes to hang out and/or hog the tables for longer than it takes to eat and sip. I popped in here with my boo and we got two things to try. The chocolate balls are amazing!!! The cardamom twist was okay. One star removed for the prices. I think the goods were high priced and we paid $11.38 for two small pastries. They did wrap the chocolate ball up nicely. It looked like a piece of candy, but it was definitely healthier than it looked. Happy eats! read more

I used to love Fabrique but yesterday was very disappointing. The cardamom buns were denser than in the past - almost like a soft bagel - and there was barely any cardamom flavor at all. Wondering if they are cost-cutting. What a shame... read more

Ever since visiting Stockholm back in March 2023, one of the things I missed the most after returning stateside was fika...those coffee breaks accompanied by a cardamom bun were absolutely elite. These buns are ubiquitous in Sweden (I think I've even seen them at 7-11's there), although are a bit harder to find here in the US. Thankfully, there are a handful of places in NYC that sell them. One of my favorites is Fabrique. Initially I had always got to La Cabra, but the lines there always seemed unpredictable (and at times they'd sell out). At Fabrique, this place is like a cardamom bun factory, so they always have a ton. It's an industrial looking space with high ceilings. There's a line of seating in the back, which are often occupied during peak hours - so might be more of a grab and go kind of place. The bun itself is delicious - really tastes very similar to the ones I had in Sweden. If you're looking to satisfy your kardemummabullar itch, Fabrique will definitely fit the bill! read more

I first came to Fabrique several years ago because I heard good things about their cardamon buns! My friends and I loved them and since I was back in the area this weekend, I dropped in for one. Cardamon bun 4/5, I do recall these originally having more cardamon spice flavoring and this was less spiced than I would have preferred but the dough was delightful Cinnamon Bun 4.5/5, imagine a soft cinnamon roll without the giant frosting coating. that's this bun. Matcha latte with almond milk (hot) 4/5, this is a more traditionally bitter matcha. I did think it could use a slightly better ratio of matcha powder : milk but this wasn't bad. read more

Just checked out Fabrique Bakery with my daughter. We're in the city for dinner and a concert and wanted the perfect afternoon snack and tea. Fast moving line at 3:45 on a Friday. Staff was professional. Display case was filled with an awesome selection of baked goods. If we weren't going to be standing around at a concert, it would be hard to walk out without a few loaves of bread. I managed to restrain myself and grabbed their famous cardamom bun, a cinammon bun for my daughter, and a cup of English breakfast tea. Tea was a nice loose leaf. The buns were absolutely divine! Right level of sweetness for me, great cardamom flavor, and a great range of textures. (Tender and some crispy caramelized parts) Definitely looking to return! read more
