I have heard great things about Hani but have always been turned off by the line that is always a few doors down on weekends. I finally decided to bite the bullet today and it was actually very quick, much quicker than it appears. I order 3 things and a match for around $35. I started with the cinnamon roll which is the main thing I came for but actually was my least favorite. If you love a ton of icing over bun ratio this would be for you but personally I thought it was too much and that it was more like a cinnamon dinner role. The next thing I had was the scone (maybe biscuit now that I think about it?) which was incredible, so moist, with sausage filling?! So good. The match was also incredible and I'm a sucker for a rice crispy treat, this one was giant, definitely could be shared between two. Over all I loved the matcha and scone and would love to come back to try more. read more

The cinnamon roll is very big and plump and there is so much icing, like the entire thing is covered in icing. The triple chunk chocolate chip cookie is $8 but it is very large so that helps make it worth it (somewhat). It is delicious and soft, but I noticed that the day after the structural integrity does not hold up very well after re-warming. I had to eat it with a knife and fork. Many say this is the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC. I can see why some would think that, because it's big and delicious, but for me I would go with something that stays together a bit better, like Culture or La Mercerie. read more

Often has a long wait and can be difficult to find seating once you order. The frosting of the apple cinnamon scone was a little too sugary for my liking, but the scone itself wasn't too sweet, so it balanced out well. Hot chocolate is very rich and creamy. It definitely stands out in comparison to other hot chocolates I've tried. read more

Oh, yum!! We came in for a mid-morning breakfast on a Monday--maybe around 10AM?--and that seemed to be the sweet spot for no waiting. We actually had to let someone go in front of us before ordering because we were taking it all in. We got the malted cinnamon roll, their signature chocolate chip cookie, and a lemon tart. We also got two sandwiches-an egg soufflé and a ham and cheese. For drinks we got hot lattes, the maple sea salt and a rose date latte. The cinnamon roll and egg sandwich were my favorites. The malt in the icing really grounded it and kept it from being too sweet. I would love to take one home and heat it up a bit. The condiments on the egg sandwich were warm and delicious! The cookie was good--I really liked the texture--crispy on the edges, soft in the center. I think they might use melted white chocolate to keep it soft--it's very fudgy. For me, the overall effect was actually too chocolate-y--I know, that seems impossible, but it was so chocolate-forward that only the edges felt like a true cookie. There are a limited number of seats, but people are respectful and quickly exit after eating. I will definitely return!! read more

Hani's bakery is SOLID and definitely worth checking out. I've been a few times and I have a few friends who swear by it, and it's DEF got a lot of buzz online about it, but I think for me it was good but not excellent. The carrot cake was definitely moist and one of the best items I had their. Their pistachio rice krispie treat wasn't that sweet, but dare I say wasn't sweet enough - I think part of the enjoyment of a rice krispie treat is that it lies on the sweeter side of things. The texture was good and it was airy but I would skip this one next time. The chocolate chip cookie is solid, too, though there is STIFF competition for excellent chocolate chip cookies out there. I hear their cinnamon roll is amazing as well as their breakfast sandwich - so I'm wanting to try those items next. read more

I'm not joking when I say this cookie was the size of my head... bigger, actually! It was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. We also went later in the day and it tasted so fresh still. The flaky sea salt gives it a nice sweet and salty taste. We tried several bakeries while in the city and this was hands down the best! read more

I checked out this bakery that had a awkward cash register to order. But the indoor seating looks cute would go back to try. I had the peanut butter cake w jam and sesame brittle and so yum. Carrot cake felt underwhelming which I looked forward to the most. The rice krispy with multiple nuts was delicious and huge! such a good deal and would have again(sorry no photo) read more

I waited outside for about 15 mins to order and waited another 10 minutes for the egg sandwich! The egg sandwich was large and delicious. For dessert I split the cinnamon roll and while it was good and not super cloyingly sweet, I feel as though I've had better! read more

I had a really good experience from the MyTheresa x Hani's popup and decided to stop by the physical, legit brick and mortar store to see if the experience would be equivalent. As others have stated, the diner vibes are nostalgic and cute but it can get chaotic given the limited space. The entrance door is cute as Hani's used to be Dunkin' so they've kept the OG D logo handle. I initially ordered the Maple Sea Salt latte with oat milk however made a last minute executive decision to change it to the Honey Cake latte. Like other cafes, their drinks menu is a bit unique yet pricey I.e $7-$10 pre oat milk / edits but in this economy, these inflated prices are expected. Shoutout to the woman making the back to back drinks, I honestly felt so bad for her. I'm not sure if it's the manager but there was a bearded man with glasses yapping with her while running around and at one point when he was talking her ear off while she was making drinks, he literally said out loud, "I'm not too sure if I'm being helpful or distracting." Babes, you're being distracting. The operations could definitely be improved and if you're waiting around for drinks near the front you could be confused as a customer waiting to order. They need to actively keep an eye out and voice to customers if they're waiting to order or pick up. I'd be back to try their pastries and more of their drinks, but would like to be the chosen one to find an open spot to just sit and take the experience all in. read more

Haven't gotten a chance to try any of their baked goods (yet) but came on a Friday evening for the soft serve which was really tasty. The topping to soft serve ratio was perfect, and I loved all the flavors and textures. Only downside is that you aren't able to eat indoors since they serve the soft serve outside of their typical business hours ("Third Shift" on Friday and Saturday 5:30 - 9:30 PM). This review is posted a bit late so not sure if this is just a summer thing, but if so, looking forward to another season of soft serve! read more

I was hearing a lot about how great the cinnamon rolls are here... as in the best ever. So I came with that in mind. However there were so many other baked goodies on display when I got there! Tempting but I asked the cashier what she suggested if it's my first visit. Her suggestion was... of course the cinnamon rolls. The roll was around $8? Large enough to share or save some for later. I was expecting a warm soft roll. However it was room temp and covered in a ton of icing. Almost too sweet. I went home to remove some icing and warm up the roll. This definitely helped! I'd suggest warming it up to enjoy. They had many other deserts... cakes, rolls, danish. Prices ranging from $5-12 each. Didn't see any vegan options or GF on display. Would have loved a vegetarian savory danish option. They sell coffee and other beverages as well as sandwiches. You can also place an order for a whole cake. Limited seating is available inside. Didn't see a restroom. There is a small bench outside for additional seating too. read more

The baked goods here are outstanding! They make comfort sweets but kicked up several notches. The chocolate chip cookie is one of the best in the city. The carrot cake is elevated with apricot jam and brown butter frosting. It is divine. There are seats and you can sit and enjoy your food. Service is friendly. read more

Oh HANI's bakery, how I love you!!! I frequented this place everytime I visit NY! Their service and baked goods are always consistent. I love love how everything is not too sweet as well. My top favorite has to be the cinnamon roll :) everything has classic flavors but feels a bit elevated. Come early because their popular flavors go out fast!!! I also love how intimate it is inside but also spots open up fast. Most people just pick up their pastries and go. I can't wait to be back! read more

"Hani, I shrunk the bills!"* ....is what I said when our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, and we accidentally ordered every pricey slice of cake that was available. So. Much. Cake. But, like, tasty cake that I didn't mind getting big from, you know? My favorite was the Honey Cake, which was moister than other versions I've had from Middle Eastern/Western Asian restaurants and bakeries; plus, it was loaded with spices. The Carrot Cake was similarly very spiced and full of decadent cream cheese frosting that wasn't too sweet. The PB & J Cake was childhood comfort if you grew up with that flavor combo. And the Pistachio Rice Krispy Brick was pleasantly spiced twist on another childhood classic. Service wasn't the friendliest, as the guy behind the counter sounded bored and impatient. Prices weren't cheap, but at least the portions were pretty large. When splitting among 5 friends, my wallet didn't cry as much as it usually does in Manhattan. ............................................. * Pretty sure only people whose birth year begins with "19..." will get this movie reference. read more

Decided to come here to try toe famous chocolate chip cookie. I will be honest, the service is not the kindest here (a bit curt) and I was a bit bummed they could not heat up the chocolate chip cookie for me or at least serve me a fresh batch when I asked for it warmed. It was massive and solid, but definitely would have been better if warm. We also got the carrot cake, which had good flavor and was not too sweet but a bit more dense than expected. For drinks, the salted maple latte was a no for me (too maple-y) but would be good if you liked maple. On the other hand, I loved the mango coconut hojicha! not very sweet at all, with a strong hojicha flavor There's not really many seats in here, so I would plan to take it to go read more

Really good bakery. Was blown away by the hot chocolate. One of the best in the city. The cinnamon roll was good but I found it too sweet. The chocolate chip cookie was yummy but didn't think it was the best cookie I've ever tasted. Would highly recommend the hot chocolate. Unfortunately there is always a line outside but the people are so nice and the service is so friendly. read more

I purchased a bag of granola yesterday. Today I am eating it over my yogurt. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! GREAT granola.

I came here for the legendary chocolate chip chunk cookie. I have enjoyed my shared of CCCs so I was bracing myself for something delicious and outrageous. It was definitely a delicious cookie. It was also rich. So much so that I spent the past few days nibbling away at it. I enjoyed it the most on the first day, as one would expect. :) I hadn't read much about the cookie so I didn't know it was a triple chocolate chip cookie. As CCCs go, this was a really tasty one. The white and milk chocolate chips were a nice surprise and the balance of crispy edges to soft center was perfect. I'd love to know what this cookie tastes like a few minutes out of the oven. Everything else in the bakery looked so good - I will be back to try something else! I didn't get any photos of the interior because I was so mesmerized by the goods in the case, but it was a cozy, clean environment with a few seating areas to enjoy the goods! read more

Everything is so good. Honestly, I haven't had a miss yet! The cinnamon bun, the morning buns, the key lime cheesecake, passionfruit tart, the pb&j cake are all hits. Such unique flavors and usually not too sweet! I love that they really keep everything coming and there's never toooo crazy of a line despite there usually being a line. There's also plenty of seating - at a mini bar, or smaller 2 person tables. It's giving a diner vibe and it's always so cozy. read more

This place has been all over my Tiktok and Instagram so when we were doing a food crawl through East Village I knew that I wanted to stop by. There was a wait outside when we got there at 4 pm on a Saturday but we waited about 15 minutes before we were allowed inside to order. The line moved pretty quickly and there are some seating inside but they were all filled when we arrived. I do recommend coming earlier because some of the items that we wanted to try were sold out. We decided to get a variety of prodcuts to share. -Chocolate Chip Cookie: This was $8 which was on the more expensive side but honestly one of the best items on the menu. It was really good but a good texture and not too sweet. -Chocolate Pudding : Please skip this. It was pretty bad; tasted like regular store brought pudding. Nothing special. -Mango Coconut Hojicha Lattee: This was alright; very strong Hojicha flavor but nothing much of anything else -Cardamom drink: This was also not very good -Apple, Pear Matcha : This was very refreshing but the matcha flavor was very light. Overall - I feel like this place is definitely overhyped besides the cookie! read more

$8 a cookie?! Crazy but dare I say it was worth it. It had a great texture and it wasn't overly sweet. I do wish I could've tried the cookie either warmed up or fresh though. I definitely preferred this type of cookie over the chunky Levain/crumbl cookies. I didn't try any of the other desserts, but it did seem like the display was on the emptier side by the time I visited around 3pm on a Monday. There was a decent amount of seating available. The service was standard, nothing overly friendly. If I was in the area again, I would def come back to try their other desserts. read more

Amazing service and amazing quality pastries. The price is worth what you are getting, I see why they are going viral on social media :)

Would love to try one of their pastries, and especially the carrot cake and strawberry elderflower shortcake Unfortunately, folks camp out with laptops -- even well after they look like they've finished -- which means there's no seats available for others. Please, institute a no laptop policy so we can try your treats (and update the rating )! read more

Cinnamon rolls were unfortunately sold out by 12:30pm on a Saturday! We waited about 10 minutes to get in. We got the banana cream croissant and triple chocolate chip cookie, and both were really good. The banana cream croissant wasn't too sweet and the caramelization on top was a cherry on top. The chocolate in the cookie is high quality and although really rich, it wasn't too heavy. I would come back to try other things on the menu! read more

I was beyond excited to visit after dreaming about the pistachio halavah rice crispy treats, however the vibe in the store was anything but exciting. Hard to describe, but very off-putting. Only one other person was waiting, we were not greeted. I think someone was training a new person, yet did not glance up where I was directly across the counter patiently waiting. A few items looked fantastic, the PistHalavRiceKrispTreat was very mid..would not return, and would not recommend. Not much seating, not a street that is particularly nice to sit outside of. I have the recipe from the NYT and will simply make my own read more

The sweets were unique, the service was fast and friendly, and even though there was a small line when we arrived, it moved quickly and was absolutely worth the wait.

New York has no shortage of amazing bakeries, but at the moment, this is one of my favorites. It's mostly elevated American classics, somewhat like what BAKED was famous for in the early 2010s. Their cinnamon rolls and rice krispy treats are all over socials, but for me, its the savory treats that shouldn't be missed. On a recent visit they had a spicy tuna sandwich with yuzu ranch and it was one of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had. On Friday and Saturday evenings they started doing a walk up window with soft serve. This (2025) is the summer of soft serve and I've had many, MANY different versions this summer. The blueberry pie sundae from Hani's is absolutely at the top of my favorites list. It also doesn't hurt that the staff here are lovely. When I ordered take out the guy told me to have a seat in the dining room and have a glass of water while I waited -- swoon! I haven't had service like that in America since 2019. Great people here! read more

The carrot cake was the best item from my purchases here. The layers were perfect and the little orange parts on the top were unique and delicious. The chocolate chip cookie was massive and had multiple different types of chocolate in there. The salt paired well with it as well, however, it was a bit pricey at 8$. I didn't care much for the savory item I got however read more

I came here for the soft serve! It's only offered 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm on Fridays/Saturdays in the summer. Not sure when it will end in the fall. I got the Blueberry Pie and my friend got Hot Fudge. They were each $13 which I thought was a little steep but honestly so worth it. 10/10 just like their cinnamon rolls!! There is a little bench to sit at outside but the bakery is not open. They said the last flavor on the menu rotates every couple weeks. read more

Wow. I have tried to get their infamous cinnamon roll twice now. I have failed twice. To be fair, I tend to get there 1 pm or 2 pm. They said get there by 10 am to be safe. I always get great constellation prizes (aka, other pastries), but can you please make more cinnamon rolls?! The chocolate cake is really rich and chocolate flavor will satisfy any chocolate fan. The carrot cake has a bit of twist and I can't put my finger on it. I don't like it as much as the chocolate cake. Be prepared to share. They are giant. Will be back to hunt down the cinna roll. read more

Hani's cafe menu holds a special place in my heart. Egg Sandwich (9/10) - thick butter toasted milk bread with custard-like eggs & ultra gooey cheese + side of spicy green sauce takes it up a notch PBJ Toast (8.5/10) - classic but make it elevated --they give such a healthy serving too I've tried almost every pastry & still making my way through the offerings (soft serve weekends are also to die for) CURRENT RANKING; 1. GF corn muffin 2. Gochujang turkey pinwheel 3. Salmon flatbread 4. Kale bacon scone 5. Carrot cake 5. Triple chocolate chip cookie 6. Chocolate zucchini muffin 7. Olive oil tea cake 8. Fudgiest brownie P.S. the savory options are much more to my liking as the sweet is a bit heavy-handed read more

If there's not a crazy line out the door, stopping by here is a must, especially if you're trying to hit all the top bakeries in New York City. I had the vegan PSL and it was delicious, I would have had no idea it was vegan! They were very fast, and they have very limited seating inside (a few booths and a counter). They also have amazing coffee drinks! read more

Would definitely recommend trying this bakery out! Small space but they get people in and out really quickly. The star items in my opinion are the Chocolate Chip Cookie, the Turkey Pinwheel Swirl and when available their soft serve. Really great flavor on all of these items, but better for you to takeaway the cookie and pinwheel so you can warm them up at home! Soft serve was phenomenal when I tried it in the summer, will definitely be back to explore more! read more

Dear god. I don't even want to know how many thousands of calories I consumed on this one visit but I can assure you, it was well worth it. The flavors, the quality of baking itself, the presentation, this bakery has it ALL. I had the shakshuka croissant tart, the olive oil tea cake with rhubarb, and the cinnamon bun: all to die for, not a single note, though I wish the shakshuka had been warmed up (I refuse to deduct any points for this though). Pro tip: come prepared and have a light dinner the night before. read more

Solid bakery but didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I've had this bakery on my list for a while so on a day off. I took the opportunity to go. There were about 20 people in front of me when I arrived, but the line moved very quickly. They were out of the cinnamon bun so I tried the carrot cake and chocolate chip cookie. Both were good but not something I'd need to get again. read more

((4.75 stars)) Hani's is a true gem of bakery and cafe, located in the East Village near Cooper's Square. to be honest, there are no misses here--a menu of rotating sweet baked items and savory ones as well as a signature ones like the Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie make for satisfying visits whether you stay and dine in its modern friendly-to-the-eye decor or take orders to go. the vibe is relaxed, uncluttered, and welcoming casualness -- from the front of the interior and its the large counter where the menu items are on display to the rear space which has neatly arranged seating options. imo, the Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie is a must-get--a balance of crispy cookie edge, soft cookie insides, and the reward of chocolate chunks which feel both melty smooth to bite into, with the right amount of firmness...a satisfying balance of texture and sweetness...the melty chocolatey-ness and the butteriness meet in each bite is quite magical. the reality is you may question whether this cookie is unreal bc it is that freaking good. if cookies, aren't you thing--get the Halva Pistachio Rice Krispy Treat! it is a generously-sized block of soft crunchy sweet marshmallow cereal goodness...topped with pistachios and halva for more flavor and texture...but the secret of this spin on a classic kid treat is the tahini flavor that balances out the sugariness and adds this smooth subtle sesame flavor to the cereal block's sweet gooeyness. even the brownie here is simple yet so pleasantly good. the coffee here is solidly good and complements the dessert-y items (Americanos have been my go-to here). have not tried the savory items, cake, or pie yet but they look so tempting. tbh, Hani's gets a lot of foot traffic, so seeing a line out the door is a norm...and line movement really depends on the people ahead of you as the staff does try to move orders quickly. the staff are very friendly and work tirelessly through all the customer traffic. while there is seating here, it does get busy and people do linger bc the eats are good. however, there are so many places to sit and enjoy Hani's eats al fresco in the immediate area like Cooper's Square across the street. in terms of busy-ness, i find that weekdays are best days to head here...weekends can get quite hectic in terms of lines. all that said, the wait is worth it if you have time. the quality of bakery and experience here will last you quite a while because good memories are not fleeting. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! read more

I can see why their chocolate chip cookie is so popular! I came for the cookie but also got a hojicha mango coconut latte, and a butternut squash muffin. Everything was delicious! The cookie was huge and had tons of chocolate. The white and milk chocolate chunks went so well together. The cookie had crispy edges and was soft in the middle. The hojicha mango coconut latte was refreshing and a fun spin on a latte. It was also dairy free since it used coconut milk. The butternut squash muffin was also pretty good! It was very moist and not dry at all. I came at 11 to catch up with a friend and we were able to snag a table after someone left. It can be hard to get a seat so be patient if you want to eat there. read more
