    Potato Pancake
    Christopher W.

    Junior's Restaurant and Bakery is an absolute must-visit after a Broadway show! It has a vibrant, modern diner vibe that's fun and full of energy. ​The service is always friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks never disappoint. It hits the sweet spot right between casual comfort food and high-end dining. Highly recommended--you can't lose with a classic diner meal and great drinks!

    We could not pass the temptation to try the authentic New York cheesecake. Juniors is an institution. The service is fast and friendly. It is a large establishment. We had no problem just walking in. The inside room was very cold. The patio was a bit windy but it didn't detract from enjoying the food and admiring the chaotic NY scene. We had the matzo ball soup, the pea soup and the potato pancakes with applesauce. The pea soup was bland and thick with bread croutons. Not my favorite. The pancakes and cheesecake were delicious. The matzo ball soup hit the spot on this chilly evening.

    Always good fast friendly service. They look after you well. Ate at bar. Food is heavy but expected diner type food. It's fast and flavorful. Had the Cobb salad. Inside it diner decor w booths, bar, tables both inside and outside eating available. Great for pre or post play crowd. They will make sure you don't miss curtain up

    Stopped in to share a slice of their "famous" cheesecake. Staff were very kind. Inside was decorated nicely and large display of all the desserts. However there is no seating for anyone who doesn't want to stay and dine. So we stood and ate off a radiator cover. The cheesecake itself was just ok. I'd rate it a 6. I wouldn't put it even close to other cheesecakes I've had. The strawberry sauce leveled up the slice. To a 7 (maybe@ This was a one and done for us. At least we can say we tried it. Better than a slice you'd get in a deli but not as good as any other basic restaurant.

    One of the best cheesecakes in New York City. Love the black-and-white cookies as well. Not a bad option at this place. It's very popular and is open late after the Broadway shows.

    Junior's is a great place to satisfy your craving for diner-style food . As you walk in, you are greeted by a large glass display of cakes and cheesecakes. They have a huge dining area that gives you a feel of the 1950's diner. The servers are dressed up in all white with the white paper server cap. The chairs are the red leather booth seats. The only thing missing is the jukebox. Maybe there was one, but I just didn't walk around the entire dining area. The food comes in very large and generous servings. You better come hungry or be ready to take home some of the food. As much as I wanted tot ry all the cheesecakes, we only had room for one, to share. Overall, it was great experience. Service and food was good. The ambience was an added element to the experience. It was a bonus that Juniors is centrally located - so close tot one square.

    Food is good. The price is getting more expensive!! I like their cakes however I have other cakes from other places for a lesser price and the quality was also top tier, more of nostalgic vibe really.

    This is a review only about the cheesecake. It there is any cheesecake you're looking for this place definitely does it well. The cheesecake is not too thick but has a pleasant texture. Im a suckered for softer cheesecakes but this place still makes a delicious cheesecake. THE IRISH CREAM CHEESECAKE: I thought I'd like this but it wasn't my favorite. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it didn't remind me of Irish cream much. I got more of a regular cheesecake flavor. CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CHEESECAKE: okay now this flavor is insane. I was so impressed by this one. The mousse is infused with the cheesecake and is fluffy, soft, and rhe flavor is decadent. It's the type of cheesecake you want to come back for. I will definitely be eating this one when I come back.

    Order their cheesecakes variety to try and they were fairly decent, packaged well, presented well and good. We had gotten it to go so can't comment on the service, overall it was good, nothing extraordinary, i was expecting to be wow'd by the cheesecakes given they are famous for it, but it was okay.

    First time checking out this spot. We heard they were pretty popular and famous for their cheesecake. Upon entry we noticed how spacious and brightly lit it was. It was very inviting and leaves you feeling even more curious. We decided to sit at the bar and were greeted by a gentleman who took our drink order. We weren't starving so we shared chicken tenders and cheese fries. We came back later that night for cheesecake. Overall it was a good experience. Service was good, tenders and fries were fresh and the cheesecake was average at best.

    Times Square. Big inside. Very busy. 10 minute wait. Just here for the cheesecake. I think the cheesecake was better when the band had to walk the Brooklyn Bridge for it. Its commercialized now and I feel likenit doesnt quite hit the notes. I want it creamer. I had the salted caramel and I was looking for the salt. And for that matter I wishlist was a white cheesecake with caramel swirl as opposed to Carmel in the cheesecake and a muted flavor. Our waited was super busy and it was hard to get a second glass of water. This is my 2nd time having Juniors in a year and I think I am moving on...

    Brownie Overload Cheesecake
    Dana W.

    After a Broadway show in Times Square I was craving a sweet treat and decided to stop into Junior's Restaurant & Bakery. I went with a slice of the brownie overload cheesecake, and it absolutely hit the spot. It was rich, indulgent, and exactly what I wanted after a night at the theater. The cheesecake was perfectly creamy with just the right amount of chocolatey decadence. Was it overly fancy? No. Was it exactly what I needed to hit the spot? Yes!

    Great restaurant with generous portions and delicious food. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. A perfect place to eat near Times Square. Highly recommended!

    How many people does a small strawberry cheesecake feed?

    On average it would be an 8-slice cake. If you like thicker slices then less but if you have a bunch of friends who say stuff like: "I only want a thin piece. Ewe, it's too rich just a tiny slice. No, no, no only half of that. Who wants to split… 

    Do they have almond milk?

    Yes, they do.

    Do they sing happy birthday?

    Yes they do! Let your sever know there is a birthday in your party & they will bring out your dessert with a candle and grab as many available servers to sing happy birthday

    Is juniors open for lunch on Christmas Day?

    Yeah I think they are

I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
