So attempted making this at home, but ended out turning a little dense, but still delicious just not as fluffy and flaky as this one, but very delicious still but this one knocked it out of the park of course cause this is authentic and made better than what I did... really nice service and met a fellow Indonesian there. Hooked me up real well. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for really good bread, delicious flavors and quality ingredients in hospitality. How could I say that this is a flaky, buttery goodness and the different kinds of dips you can get for it. read more

Pretty solid overall. Service was quick and efficient, and the space has a fun ambiance -- I especially liked the tatami-style seating, which added a cozy touch. The salt bread reminded me a bit of a Wetzel's Pretzels-style texture, but it was still tasty, especially paired with the cream dip. I also ordered a matcha latte with the salted foam top -- I'd recommend getting it iced. A cute spot to check out if you're in the area. read more

Went on a weekday and was lucky enough to not encounter any lines. As a bread lover I must say that this place is AMAZING !! The freshly baked salt bread tasted as great as it looked - golden, buttery and that hint of salt ties everything together, pairs really well with the sweet creams that are available to add on. Tasted really good even after I brought it home. I also got the salt latte. It lived up to its name as in you can actually taste the salt in the cold foam cream, but in a very complimentary way. The interior is really cute also, very thoughtfully decorated to create a cozy and quiet vibe read more

MUST get the dips. They taste a tad plain without it. But its a 10/10 w the dips. I liked the chocolate dip! Brought me back to korea and their salt bread :p but they arent as salty and crispy!

AMAZING OMG! I love the salty, buttery, crispy bread, and I'm so happy salt bread has come to NYC. They have cream dips as well (plain, matcha, chocolate). Also the salt matcha latte was REALLY good too. They have a surprisingly large seating area in the back, and the food comes out quickly when it's not too crowded inside. read more

The hype is valid. The salt bread is absolutely expensive but it was also absolutely delicious and the atmosphere made it alright in my mind. (And also because I did not have to wait on a line because I came when it was absolutely abhorrently freezing outside). You're limited to 2 sets of salt bread per person (one pack has 3) and that'll run you 12 dollars per pack. It's absolutely salty but also super buttery. The exterior has a bit of a soft crunch to it and the inside is plush and chewy. The bottom is gorgeously caramelized and glistening with butter. I would dip it in a nice thick hot chocolate if I had one with me (lol). They do serve drinks and cream that you could absolutely dip your bread into but it stood perfectly on its own. The space is spacious and half of it is dedicated to the wonderful tatami mats and the other half more casual lounging. There's a coat rack and you can leave your shoes nicely tucked beneath the tatami platform. Most people were respecting the "no shoes" on the tatami mat but there were those who clearly didn't pay any mind to the large and visible signs saying no shoes. There's water available and the general environment is super cute. There's a single person bathroom downstairs for use which was spick and span. If they could opt for two kiosks and one person at the counter taking orders that would speed along the process. read more

I will dream of this salt bread. Served perfectly warm, buttery, a slight crunch, but overall still fluffy and soft.. wow... loved it. We additionally got the matcha and sweet cream to dip the bread in, this was an added delight. Both were very subtle and sweat and gave the bread an extra flavor but I honestly think the bread is just that good to eat alone. I also tried a matcha, latte, and matchaespresso - all came with a delicious salt cream which makes it perfectly creamy mixed in and I would say are a solid pick but overall I found the coffee to be the best flavor. Ambiance inside is a small space with counter ordering and a few small benches and criss cross seating tables. The ambiance is modern but still with a homey feel. Despite the lines, service was very friendly and efficient. read more

Have you had an Auntie Anne's salted pretzel? This is basically the same thing, just without the long line down the block. The bread is good, but nothing I haven't tasted before. Before anyone comes for me, you could get a similar fix by tossing an Auntie Anne's pretzel in the oven, or even a croissant with butter and salt on top. The sweet dip is good, but not necessary. Also the self-serve cashier system isn't really a good look when there's only 1 and people take a while figuring out the computer system and paying themself adding to why there is such an unnecessary long line. There should be at least 2 machines or a cashier. The salted coffee was the standout because it's unique. I had it hot and definitely curious to try the iced version next time. Heads up: the back seating area draws a very NYU crowd and kind of screams "I'm here for Instagram." read more

Ladies, The litmus test for "if he wanted to, he would" should be Justin's salt bread. Cause tell me why, when I'm sick at home with bronchitis, my boyfriend treks all the way to Justin's salt bread cause he remembered me saying I had this craving, he trekked in freezing temperatures, waited in line and brought me home some salt bread. Never settle. And before you go, oh its so cold its not good anymore. The key is to microwave it with a cup of water. It was soooo good. I can only imagine how much better it is in person. Its pillow-y, nice crust, buttery, flakey and golden. read more

Got one stick to go with the sweet cream. Wow is all I can say! I needed 3 more of them. The sweet cream tastes like a mix of butter and whipped cream. The salt bread isn't salty but it's crunchy and soft at the same time. I want to go back already. read more

I would give 4 stars for the Salt Cream Latte which was quite good (though I don't understand why they don't have straws), but the supposed star of the show - Salt Bread - just didn't hit for me. I'd equate it to a dinner roll and there are much better given for free at many NYC restaurants. Yes, it tasted good with the Chocolate Cream, but you could feed me cardboard with whipped cream and I'd eat it (happily). Nice seating area, but this is a one and done for me. I came at 12:30 on a Thursday and there was no line. read more

Ok, I was skeptical at first. How good can a small piece of bread be and is it worth waiting on a long line on a cold day? It absolutely is! It tastes like a cross between a croissant and brioche. The crunchy bottom adds the perfect textural mix of chewy, doughy, and crispy. The butter and salt are a nice balance. The bread comes out freshly baked. I got the cream dip, but I don't think it added anything to the already perfect rolls. The matcha latte was also well made and you can actually taste the matcha flavor. I waited about 25 mins on a Sunday afternoon. read more

While a friend picked them up, they were so good. I'm not sure how to describe them deeper but just know you need to try!

I had salt bread in Korea and was so happy that there was finally a place in NYC! I went on a Friday afternoon and waited about 30-ish minutes. Definitely expect a wait if you're coming during peak hours since salt bread is super popular right now. Although the bread wasn't as good as the one in Korea, it was still delicious! Very flavorful, soft, and buttery. I also got their salt matcha and enjoyed the salty cream foam. read more

Came at the end of the day and they thankfully still had salt bread left - friends and I enjoyed the simplicity of the bread! We likened it to a doughier (less flaky) croissant read more

Love this place. Both the salt bread and the signature drinks are delicious. Love the large-ish venue with plenty of seats and a downstairs bathroom. Now that there are several salt bread places, I can still say that Justin's is my favorite. read more

i'm not usually a salt bread enthusiast, but justin's salt bread has definitely converted me into one. i tried both the salted matcha latte & the salt bread. the salt bread is pillowy, buttery, and decadent & served warm. i didn't expect to enjoy the matcha latte as much as i did, but the cream, salt, and matcha perfectly balance each other out. i'd definitely recommend coming here with a friend & splitting the 3 bread combo for $12! pro-tip: get the matcha & dip the bread in the salted cream top, such a heavenly combo :) read more

The best thing about this salt bread is that it is served hot, buttery, and fresh out of the oven. Still pretty good once it has cooled down but still not as good as when it's fresh! I've had salt bread from tous Les jours, lelecha, and Paris baguette and this one probably has the most butter. read more

I was in the area a little while ago and came across this spot around noon and there was no line. Theres so much buzz around salt bread so I decided to get some to try. For a 3 pack and a dip, my total was almost $15. It felt a little steep but not unexpected. My husband and daughter reallly enjoyed the bread which I guess makes me feel better about paying the price for them. The bottom is crunchy and you definitely taste all the butter that goes into making each and every bread. The dip is tastey but im not sure I would pay for it again- we got the matcha dip and it was nice and airy but if I wanted to, I would have used one dip for one bread so for the price of the small container, I would jsut skip it next time. read more

salt bread is served fresh and warm, just fine though imo it's still just salt bread idg the hype. there's usually a huge line to order on one tablet, would visit on a weekday for a shorter wait. read more

Came on a weekend and waited about 30 mins. Overall, it's good. Very buttery bread and I love the crispy bottom. Would I wait another 30 mins for this? No. Would definitely return on a weekday to avoid the crowd or when the hype dies down. read more

Actually really surprised how good the salt bread was. I assumed this place would be overhyped because i've seen it everywhere but the bread was crunchy, fluffy, perfectly salty, buttery- i was gagged. The matcha latte was pretty good as well. If you get the salted one it comes with foam which unfortunately makes the matcha very milky. the matcha latte without it was good though, not the best i've had, but would get it again with the salt bread when i come back. the service is through kiosk and i didn't wait long, given i came when there was no line so not sure about when it's busy. The interior was beautiful- cozy and chill with tatami mats and benches. Overall great spot!! read more

This japanese salty bread is good while its hot or warm. Its good by itself but with the whipped cream also good. The butter inside the bread is melted in my mouth. The lattes also good with a hint of salt. Overall its good, This place only sell bread and lattes, very simple and easy menu. read more

NYC's first salt bread bakery - and yes, we waited almost 45 minutes in a line wrapped around the block (in the drizzle ). I was determined to try it, and honestly? The bread was pretty good: buttery, crispy, and piping hot with just the right amount of salt. Dipping it into the cream was nice but the bread was solid on its own. Would I go again? Maybe - once the hype dies down and the wait is under 20 minutes. My friend loved the salt foam on his coffee, but the matcha latte was a bit bland IMO. salt bread sweet cream matcha cream signature salt coffee signature salt matcha latte read more

This place is literally just salt bread and matcha which isn't worth it . One the bread is cheap but when you add the matcha and other stuff it becomes way overpriced. Two there's a huge line for this place it's definitely a scam if time and money for just salted bread which isn't that good you can literally go to any grocery store and get the same ingredients for way cheaper. The staff here basically have that on Camera there nice off camera there really rude personality's to em . Overall save yourself the time by not going here . read more

Best eaten hot right from the oven...but are good warm. Long lines in the weekend as expected but have recommended this place to several friends who loved it read more

The quality was better when they just opened. The breads a little overcooked and chewy and the matchas seem to taste a little less sweet/watered down this time. The girl making the matcha is slammed (10+ people were waiting around while more were in line) and only one person making drinks is definitely not ideal and seemed to affect the quality of the product. read more

Honestly have not experienced service this bad. We were waiting in line for more than half an hour, guy with glasses came out to explain that there will be no guaranteed bread after a certain person. He said that everyone before was guaranteed bread. Then we come inside only to realize that they ran out of all bread?? The miscalculation is so beyond unprofessional, mind you he had an attitude too. Also how are you out of bread an entire 2 hours before closing? Overhyped and unprofessional as I've already heard, so disappointing. read more
