Outstanding selection! This quaint bakery is located on a stretch of 5th Avenue, a few blocks north of the NY Library/Bryant Park. Eat with your eyes before you order in this cozy shop. I was able to try their infamous and hyped up cardamom bun. Delicious! The hype is real. Not overly dense and the cardamom flavor comes through without being overpowering. It was a quick pop by, and I didn't stay. But got an Americano to go (which was fine). Seats in the back looked like a cute spot for locals and tourists to stay. Obviously, come for the carb offerings. Curious to try their sourdough and other pastries -- so far, I'm sold on this place! read more

Located on 5th avenue, if you happen to cross this place while touring the city, stop in. You'll enjoy their pastry options. The cardamom bun is decent here. Not as good as the one I sampled in Copenhagen, Denmark. But it's worthy of your time and curiosity. Their sugar twist would pair nicely with a black coffee. Sometimes, it's the combination of your items that makes the meal memorable and delightful. One suggestion I would offer for the establishment is to offer to warm the pastries. That would further elevate the experience of your guest. Inside is small. You can fill a few tables and seating, but not a large party. Best to take away and enjoy on the road to the park. Overall, it's enjoyable, and you should stop in. I was inclined to give this place a 3-star, but they are on to something. The staff was nice, which pushed my award over to 4. Great job, team! read more

Our usual spot was closed, but we saw Fabrique and decided to give it a try. They have a nice selections of pastries to choose from. The latte was quite godo, but definitely on the pricey side. While their cardamon bun and cinnamon bun were not as good as from the Church of Sweden cafe, they were good and enjoyable. They do offer some seating, but it is limited and was full when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Fabrique Bakery - Cardamon Buns and Cinnamon Buns on display - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Nice bakery on 45th & 5th Avenue. I've probably walked past many times and never noticed, but today I stopped by! They carry a variety of bakery items from their famous cardamom buns to brownies, croissants, to breads. There is a small selection of deli meat sandwiches and drinks too. They have a coffee menu as well. Didn't see vegan options and not sure on GF. I tried a caramel bun for $6.50. Decent but maybe could be a little crispier. They have limited seating inside and no restroom. Worth a visit if you are shopping on 5th Avenue and want a quick sweet treat or cof read more

Fabulous Norwegian crisp bread, good cardamom bun, and solid americano. Service was very nice, but I could see the one-person show getting overwhelmed by the foot traffic to this tiny shop. The barista spent a generous amount of attention on me, potentially at the expense of the growing line behind me. I appreciate the service, so I hope they will send her help! read more

Fabrique! This is their second location in NYC, first one being in Chelsea on the south side of 14th Street close to 9th Avenue. Apparently they are also in Stockholm and London! Come here for their famous sourdough and a variety of Nordic pastries like danishes, cinnamon buns and cardamom buns. This location is a little smaller than their other location, with a similar layout of baked goods at the front left of the store as you enter, with seating toward the back. There are about 6-7 smaller bistro tables for two to four. The front of the store is divided into baked breads and buns to the left of the register and prepped sandwiches and a few bottled drinks to the right. Their menu also includes a handful of hot and cold beverages, like coffee, matcha and tea. All their buns looked good though I gravitated towards the cardamom bun since that's a perennial favorite of mine, I have to give 5 stars on the cardamom flavor, probably the most pronounced out of all the buns I've tried, 4 stars for the texture--the added slight crunch from the demerara sugar was nice though the density of the dough was slightly more so than I would've preferred. My personal inclination is towards a slightly loftier bread, but it was still delicious and enjoyable! I didn't have much interaction with the staff, the transaction was smooth and quick since I was grabbing the bun for takeout and was on my way in a matter of a couple minutes. read more

Amazing coffee! Stopped by on my way to work to grab a quick latte, and it was made quickly and tasted great!

Such a cute bakery! The pastries were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. There's also a nice seating area in the back which made it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a coffee with my treat. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or planning to sit and stay a while, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Fabrique Bakery is lovely, but it does matter what you get from here. I ordered the cinnamon bun & the saffron bun. The former was absolutely perfect- exactly what you would want a cinnamon bun to be like for a lack of better terms. The saffron bun, however, wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It left an odd aftertaste, but maybe it was just me. All in all, I would return, especially for those cinnamon buns! Besides, Sweden is home of the cinnamon buns so I would trust a Swedish bakery to make them well haha. read more

The cardamom buns are fine, not as good as the ones I remember from Copenhagen, but hit the spot. Took another pastry home, microwaved it for a bit, and was so much more enjoyable. Would be nice if they offered to warm the pastries! read more

This location of Fabrique Bakery is a must-try for cardamom bun lovers and a cozy respite from the bustle of midtown. There was basically no wait on a Saturday around noon, and the cute, Instagram-ready seating area in the background was mostly empty. -Cardamom bun: a sweet, brioche-like, bready roll with a crunchy cardamom spice and sugar glaze on top. My favorite card. bun was and still probably is from La Cabra, which is a little bit lighter on the spice, which I guess all things considered I prefer, but I still loved Fabrique's take. -Cinnamon bun: I was surprised by how similar this tasted to the cardamom bun! Like, really similar, but with little sugar pebbles on top. It wasn't super cinnamon-heavy, as the name kinda suggested! -Chocolate chip cookie: I liked it! This has big dollops of dark chocolate (yes, please) dominating the middle and burnt sugar cookie vibes around the crispy edges. There was also some sprinkles of sea salt here and there, which I like. At first, I felt that the cookie flavor in the non-burnt center was kind of underwhelming, but it grew on me. -Iced latte: No need to skip the coffee here! The latte was rich and delicious and the person behind the counter graciously agreed to add some simple syrup because I didn't like any of the sweetener options at the little customer station. read more

Fabrique is definitely one of the best bakeries in the city, they have so many options and my favorite is their cardamom bun. I've had a lot of cardamom buns around the city and Fabrique definitely takes the cake. A really strong cardamom flavor and paired with a cup of coffee, it'll be the perfect breakfast. You can also see them baking the pastries and breads here in the back! Lots of seating and it's not too busy since there are several locations. read more

The pastries at Fabrique are incredible. The cardamom bun is a must-try, as well as the brown sugar walnut pastry. Their pastries are not too sweet and go perfectly with their coffee. I also recommend the savory seed crackers. They're crunchy and light, and they balance the sweet pastries really well. I plan to try their sandwiches next time I go. The staff was very kind and they have a few tables to sit at in the back. read more

Stopped by Fabrique bakery when I was working in midtown. Delicious baked goods - yes! Addictive - 100%!! The price is definitely steep but you certainly get what you pay for. This time I got the cardomon bun (which I got last time), and the cranberry gluten free crisp and a gluten free cranberry granola bar, wow wow wow !!! I loved the gf cranberry granola bar, it was so delicious and I kept on crunching on the cranberry crisp all day long! My go-to bakery whenever I work in midtown! read more

Cardamom bun and oat chocolate balls delicious. Rustic and not too sweet. Very fresh and definitely will come back.

This was my first stop in NY and I was really excited about trying their cardamom bun because I usually only get la cabras. I have to admit it even though I feel like a traitor but Fabrique is better. The dough is more rich and there's way more cardamom which I love. Coffee was lovely as well but the pastries are the star of the show read more

I love this bakery and was so elated when it opened right across the street from my office! It takes a lot of self-control not to buy a cardamom bun everyday. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! This is a lovely location with ample seating in the back. The pastry display case is so lovely and spacious. I've also popped in a few times for lattes, which are great. They also have to-go lunch sandwiches or breakfast items if you don't want the pastries - can't wait to try one of their sandwiches. My recommendation is to try their signature Cardamom Bun! read more

Fabrique Bakery - Cardamom bun - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

This place seems like it's newer due to the lower yelp reviews and it is delightful. The smell of cardamom is strong when you enter and it's in nearly everything. They have their famous cardamom bun plus a vanilla bun (less card.) so there's options for everyone. I think I preferred the vanilla more. I also got their shortcake cookie which is so good with tea. Buttery soft. They also travel well. There is seating in the back, and I would definitely come back. read more

Food would've been good but it was cold, drinks were too expensive to be watered down. Cashier acted like she was offended that we were ordering. The overall experience was ruined by the kindness of the employees. Don't work a service job if you're not going to be hospitable. read more

Was visiting NYC for a day and had a friend recommend I stop by this Swedish bakery and café for a coffee and cardamom bun, so that's what I did. The fare was nothing short of delicious; the iced flat white was well-balanced and creamy, and the cardamom bun was a delightful combo of syrupy sweet, savory and a little smoky. Moreover, the servers were friendly, and the cafe was elegant and well-kempt. Overall, nothing to complain about; a marvelous way to begin a day trip in midtown Manhattan. read more

New Swedish bakery that opened up between 45 and 46th on Madison Ave. Even before you walk in, you can smell the sweet and buttery aroma. Grabbed two sweet treats for a mid-day snack and it did not disappoint. The chocolate chip cookie was crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside and not too sweet. You can taste the brown butter and semi-sweet chocolate - making it the perfect cookie to enjoy. The cardamom bun was sweet and fragrant. The crispy on the exterior and the buttery layers inside makes every bite enjoyable. They offer a wide assortment of sweet and savory bread, sandwiches, and sweet treats. Coming back for more later! read more

Was the cardamom bun good? Yes. Was the green tea nice? Also yes. Why two stars then? Because what kind of sadistic coffee shop does not have a bathroom for customers??!? Seriously. If you go there and are dining in with a coffee or tea, good luck to you. You'll end your lovely coffee shop chill session with a search for somewhere else to pee shortly afterwards. MAJOR dislike. Yet there were two doors in the back of the shop and one was clearly a bathroom with a sign that said "No Public Restroom," which includes customers!! They obviously are unwelcoming of customers. On principal alone I would never visit this establishment again. read more

Fabrique Bakery - Some kind of cardamom bun that started with the name of S I can't remember. - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

I was so happy to stumble upon this bakery that I loved in London! I got an almond bun (which was like a day old cardamom bun with hints of almond) , saffron raisin bun (thought it sounded interesting, but not for me), and cinnamon bun. I liked the cinnamon bun the best, but I was bummed because I specifically asked if it was just cinnamon or cinnamon and cardamom since I was with someone who doesn't like cardamom, and the cashier assured me it was just cinnamon or just cardamom - she was wrong. I also really enjoyed my Americano. read more
