We saw the Partybus Bakeshop while we were in the area, and the folding sign out front looked super cute, so we decided to stop on by. This small intimate place offers baking classes and such, and there's only a handful of seating inside. We ordered: +a Scallion Bun - not sure where any of the scallions were, and this was overbaked; super bland, and not even fresh nor fluffy +a Cheddar Chive Biscuit - super dried out; extremely bland +a Pistachio Rose Croissant - overbaked and, possibly, even burnt; super dried out +and, an Arnold Palmer - this was okay, but the cup wasn't even filled to the top We noticed some of the local restaurants/business picking up their bread orders for the day, but was super confused in how this bakery seems to be considered a purveyor or even offer baking lessons - the bakery items offered were poor in quality; such a waste! Service could also have been dressed with a smile. No dice. +poor quality baked items +unfriendly staff read more

I think this place is awesome. There's a wide variety of drinks, pastries and sandwiches/snacks. Everything tastes so fresh and so yummy. The staff is nice, though a line can build up as there's just one person taking the orders. There's a few comfortable seats so you can enjoy your food there without having to take it to go. I find the vibe very chill and relaxed in here, and I almost always get a seat. Arnold Palmer was great and filled to the brim. The baguette with butter was delightful. This is a hidden gem amongst many overrated coffee shops in the area. read more

$4 for a hot cross bun, $20 for half a dozen and $40 for a dozen. The size of their hot cross bun might be the largest among all five bakeries I've tried in NYC. The dough was apparently denser than others, loaded with big pieces of raisins and candied citrus. If you like denser bread you might like their buns. The honey glaze brushed on top is enjoyable. The golden brown surface is slightly crispy. I don't know why but the white cross icing fainted on my bun. read more

The most adorable and delicious spot on Essex. First, loved all the Pride flags displayed!!!! Yassssss! Second, one of the best focaccia breads I've ever had. I don't know if it was the olive oil they used, the airiness of the slice I had, the perfect amount of sea salt or all of the above but I will dream of this focaccia for nights to come. You can see the workings of all the baked goods right behind the counter. The wall paper is just so cheery and there are several areas where you can sit and dine whether it be one of their baked goods or one of their Neapolitan pizzas. The second you walk in it just smells like a perfect combo of pizza and desserts. I ordered a mint tea and a delicious double chocolate chip. You can tell this was a fav in the neighborhood as people came in to meet up for a quick cup of coffee and a chance to catch up. Before leaving I purchased the following: fruit and nut baguette (the baby has already ate half the loaf...) an everything baguette (delish just sliced but can't wait to make avocado toast with it) and my slice of focaccia. So do yourself a favor and pop in here and try one of everything. read more

Some really great fresh bread and baked goods can indeed be found at the cusp of Two Bridges/LES in Partybus Bakeshop. I love coming for their miche, which is available in quarter, half, and whole portions ($5-18) and sliced upon request as well, as well as their sticky buns ($5) which are full of cinnamon flavor and so fluffy. I'd also highly recommend the Scallion Buns ($2) which are simply incredible (hearty, fluffy, and perfumed with a deliciously savory and herbaceous scallion oil), and a beautiful nod to the neighborhood the bakery is situated in. In fact, 10% of all proceeds from the scallion buns are donated to Heart of Dinner, which provides hot lunches and pantry essentials to the homebound, elderly, and vulnerable population in Chinatown. read more

I walk by the shop every day on my way to work. Unfortunately, when I am on my way to work the shop is closed. I stopped by today and was able to purchase what I have been craving (since I left LA) some good sourdough bread. As I am typing I am eating a piece, and it is very tasty. The employees are a bit standoffish but then again this is New York.... I am confident once I become a regular, they will loosen up.....LOL. read more

Get the cinnamon sticky buns! Holy cow it's gooooood. This is coming from someone who doesn't care for cinnamon rolls/buns/whatnot but I fell in love with this upon the first bite. $4 for one piece, for $20 for the whole tray (6 buns?) Ummm you're gonna need to buy the whole tray. I made the mistake of only ordering two, and it was just gone in a minute. The bread is superrr fluffy, but my favorite has to be their cream cheese frosting. I could probably eat a pint of this frosting by itself. Not sickeningly sweet. Still sweet, but balanced enough. Just get itttt Mushrom Dijon Danish $4.50: while I really enjoyed the mushroom and dijon combination (surprisingly very good) I wished there was more of it since it was centered and didn't come with every nibble unless your bite is half a danish in one go. Not extra flakey either, but decently crispy enough. Ricotta Cheesecake ($5/slice): these cake slices are super tiny for the price point. I love the extra buttery crust, and while the filling is decent, it's not very strong in the flavor Strawberry Rhubarb Pie ($5/slice): should probably preface this by saying I normally hate pie...and I definitely didn't enjoy this. The pie crust is good, but the cooked fruits component has such a pungent vinegar-y taste that just left me rinsing my mouth afterwards. Also, this doesn't travel well - everything fell apart and was a mess Peach Pie: if you must try a pie, go for this one, muchh better read more

Have been wanting to try this place ever since I heard about it through Heart of Dinner. Finally stopped in and got the Frenchie (Black Forest ham, fontina, salted butter on a baguette) and an iced coffee. Oh my goodness, the baguette is possibly one of the best baguettes I've ever had! It has a really crunchy crust, nicely-formed air pockets, and good chew. The fillings of ham, fontina, and butter are simple but worked harmoniously. Portion wise it's pretty good too, can easily split it into two meals if you pair it with a soup or salad. Awesome spot, can't wait to come back to try more goodies! read more

3.5 stars Came here Sunday morning for breakfast. There are only 2 tables so it's definitely more of a to-go place. The kitchen is open and right behind the counter so you can see them rolling and shaping the dough. I had a few of the pastries and they were ok. None of them stood out to me, but would still recommend to someone if they were nearby and in a pinch. Basically just an average bakery but has the necessities for a neighborhood staple read more

I picked up two croissants for a croissant crawl my friend hosted, and they were both pretty solid. I preferred the almond croissant to the fluffernutter one, which was a bit dense for me. Someone in our group loved the fluffernutter most, ranking it 14.5/15 among our croissants from 8 different places. There is no long line on a Sunday afternoon and it was easy to pick them up. Although the menu online says there's a rose pistachio one, that is actually a seasonal item that will likely come back in the spring. Another friend said that he really likes Partybus because they partner with Heart of Dinner, a non-profit giving food to the elderly. Love that :) Will definitely be coming back to check out their other goodies. read more

I came upon this bakery when it popped up on a list of bakeries to consider for your thanksgiving pie! Based on the reviews here and the photos on their Instagram, I quickly pre-ordered a pie for next week. But, I couldn't wait to try this place even before then. I popped in for 2 of the pistachio croissants! I didn't realize until now that it's twice baked because when you look at it, you can tell that it's cooked for longer than you would think. But it adds a certain great crunch to it as in it didn't taste over baked at all! It was one of the best croissants I've had in a long time! Definitely worth a visit! I may pop in again for another treat before I pick up my pie. read more

Ooooooh - this place was SO good. We had a nice variety of a pear tart, toad in the hole, almond croissant and a scallion bun. Everything was superb. Incredibly fresh, beautifully made and just perfect. Bread was gorgeous and prices were reasonable. We will definitely return to the Partybus, both to shop and for one of their classes! Great spot. read more

Good quality food! The menu can be a bit pricey but I've never been disappointed here!

there are many reasons to go to Partybus Bakeshop like the assortment of freshly baked sweet treats or the weekly baking classes. however mine is a simple one--the bread & butter which is a half of a baguette with the right amount of salted butter spread on it...the freshness of the baguette combined with the savory fattiness of the butter makes for one satisfying bite after another. so good! combine that with the bakery's hot brewed coffee and you have life's simple pleasures of flavorful coffee that doesn't overpower the baked eats while at the same time giving you that much needed caffeine kick. there are so many good choices for savory or sweet hunger pangs that you can't go wrong. discovered the gluten-free brownie on another visit...which was/is a great option for those in need of a sweeter bite. the bakery, itself, is a small space with some seating which is neatly kept. the service is friendly. Partybus Bakeshop continues to be great addition to the Lower East Side for fans of carbs! read more

This has been on my to try list since being mentioned in Heart of Dinner's IG posts & luckily I had the opportunity to try it this past weekend! First of all, I gotta give it to them for creativity! Bought myself a basil biscuit & pistachio rose croissant. Holy smokes, I toasted the basil biscuit when I got home - damn, SO GOOD with butter melting on it. And the pistachio rose croissant was so fun to eat! Definitely has a lot of pistachio flavor in every flakey, buttery soft bite you take. And the fact that they included pistachio paste inside the croissant - now THAT was a game changer! Thanks Partybus for the yums, will definitely be back for more! :) read more

A new bakeshop just opened midway between two of my other favorite bakeries (Supermoon and Macaron Parlour), but it's different enough to warrant going to all of them. This one is also instantly one of my favorites, as the cookies and croissants I just tried were incredible. They are some of the best cookies in the city, of the non-giant Chip/Levain variety. Get the flaky little croissant too, which is exceptionally good. The chocolate croissant is too, made with buckwheat flour. I'll be back ASAP to try more items. read more

Had a giant slice of honey parm focaccia, yummy giant chocolate chip and french baguette. That foccacia was pillowy, airy and drenched w honey & slathered w parm and powdered sugar. The cookie is a chocolate chip filled crunchy chewy giant goodness. The baguette should of been consumed out of the oven but no one is really complaining here. Great concept- cutest set up and friendly staff. read more

The food- it's good, slightly healthier feeling and the flavors are always great. My only concern- the employees. I've worked in a few bakeries, I get the long hours and early start time, though I go in and I get the feeling they want me to leave... I'm buying food.. I'm being a costumer I've asked my boyfriend and friends who also live in the neighborhood and they've had the same experience. Good food- not so welcoming costumer service. At this point I'd rather check online and see what they have before going in and feeling strange vibes. I would go more often if it wasn't so eerie and tense. Please get cheery yall I just want some baked goods read more

Disappointing. Like the concept of this place but the food and drink was mediocre. I got an iced Chai Latte and Eggie sandwich. The latte was pretty bland and sandwich just odd. My fault for not appreciating they put tomatillo on it, but the flavors just didn't work for me. Overall mediocre. read more

Love the savory pastries here--the croissant and danish dough are so rich and buttery and delicious, especially in the ham and cheese croissant. Highly recommended! Haven't tried the sweet pastries but I bet they're amazing too. Quiches are delicious as well. Breads were also very good. Their sourdough is great, and the fruit and nut baguette is crammed full of fruit, making it fairly sweet, which is nice toasted with a swipe of good butter. I'd say their pies are a bit of a weakness though. The strawberry rhubarb pie I tried was super sweet and the crust basically disintegrated. Another time I tried a chess pie and although the crust was delicious, I wasn't in love with the filling. Cookies are okay, but I've only tried their peanut chip which had whole peanuts in it. Good but nothing too special. read more

This place was so cute! The chocolate almond croissant and pb&j were sooo good! The entire shop was adorable even down to the wallpaper!!!

Wow i stopped by on a whim after seeing the rose pistachio croissant on their google maps profile and it did not disappoint! I didn't expect the rose pistachio croissant to have any filling but it did and added a great contained moisture to the otherwise dry croissant. The filling was a bit on the sweet side and can easily start dripping out near the end. I ended up also getting the mushroom danish and turmeric cookie because they caught my eye.. the danish was delightful! Wish it was warmed up a bit but there was some hint of horseradish that made it unique; was not too salty. Would pass on the turmeric cookies next time - exactly what you'd imagine and on the tough (as opposed to soft) cookie side. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since I heard about it through Heart of Dinner (which I volunteer for!). I happened to be in the area and got one of their delicious scallion buns. So fluffy! So flaky! I could really taste the scallion in the bun. I reheated it after I got home, and I basically devoured it. I wished I got about a dozen more lol. I'm so excited to swing by again in the future and try the other items on their menu (heard rave reviews about their ham and cheese croissant). read more

Probably the best artisan bake shop in Manhattan I am blown away by the texture of their sour dough bread!! And it is very flavorful. I randomly selected their sour dough choice- black seed, spicy carrot and something fruity (I forgot) and everything is just on point. It is either good to make your own sandwich and just eat it as a sole bread I hope this place can survive this COVID season and blossom as the best artisans bakery in nyc!!! Overall:5/5 I encourage everyone to try and try their special collaborative sandwich as well read more

Partybus has been a total godsend during COVID times! They've not only offered delivery of their bakery items but also sell all sorts of pantry items too (at reasonable prices)! There's been so many yeast and flour shortages at local grocery stores but Partybus always keeps stocked! They were even giving out free gloves with orders (don't know if they still do that now). Jacqueline (the owner? head baker?) is super nice, very responsive on both email and instagram message. She answered my questions about ingredients (food sensitivity reasons) and even delivered more fresh yeast free of charge SAME DAY when I worried that my fresh yeast was dead (it was actually fine, just slower than instant yeast - if you're reading this I'm sorry you had to come all this way). We got our sourdough starter here and it's totally thriving in our fridge. Every order we get is so yummy! I love the L.E.S. sourdough loaf (better than anything I could make on my own), the GF brownies are perfectly rich and moist, the chai spice cookies are so flavorful. The scallion buns-wow such fluffy savory goodness. I got a cake also for a quarantine birthday and birthday boy loved it! I always get a mystery loaf with every order too and it's such a good deal! Different thing every time - it truly is a mystery. I can't wait to come here in person when I feel safe to take the subways again. read more

Such a fun and unique spot. The fluffer nutter croissant, butterscotch pudding cookie pie and passion fruit chess pie are some of the best treats I've ever had.

Everything looks so good need to strategize my order next time, can't wait to go back ASAP! read more

Great chocolate chip cookies and friendly staff. It's local for me and always a treat.

They also have the best cinnamon roll I've ever had!! The key thing - it's not overly sweet. The brioche bun is so soft and pillowy. The edge is baked a little more so comes with a nice crunch, but not hard by any means. The icing is another star of the show - the right amount of sweet and tang, no graininess at all. It's not the most cinnamony cinnamon bun but everything just goes so perfectly together. A very well-rounded bun that wouldn't leave you sugared out and feeling heavy even if you ate the whole thing (like I did). read more

Had the broccolini sandwich, scallion bun and plain croissant. Favourite was absolutely the scallion bun! It's got strong and rich scallion flavor which I love. The croissant is on the doughy side (not the flakey type) but moist and not greasy or sweet. I like that they don't sweeten it or put a sugar coating on top like many croissant places do in NYC which is just not French croissant! The sandwich was good with the ingredients just for me the baguette could be more crispy and fresh. Definitely wanna come back to try other bread and the peso sandwich. read more

Excellent bakery that is dangerously close to my apartment. This bakery is impressive because it excels at both fancy, high-production items (rose-pistachio croissant) and core bakery competencies like the humble baguette. Of note is their ricotta-cheescake-pie situation. I can't remember exactly what they call it, but you get the jist. A few other places in the city, like Veniero's do this style of cheesecake well, but Partybus's version is the best. It has a nice ratio of crust to filling (not a thick glut of filling like a lot of places do), a fabulous delicate texture, delicious ricotta flavor, a touch of caramelization on the top and a bright hint of lemon on the finish. In my opinion this is the sleeper hit of their sweet items - a highly considered desert-snack that's extremely well refined in both texture and taste. I love that it's a dish that comes without all the bells and whistles of fancy-pants deserts. Its humble pie format only adds to the charm. Truly a 10 out of 10 item. The other item here that I love is their classic baguette. Yes, they do all their breads well, but their baguette is without doubt the best in the neighborhood. The crumb structure is excellent - very airy, a lot of holes with a great variety of sizes, nice balance of chewy-to-melt-in-your mouth. The crust is very crispy and crackly, not hard and hazardous to the roof of your mouth if you plan to use the baguette in a sandwich application. The taste is also of high quality and the dough is nicely seasoned with salt. This is a dream baguette for sandwiches, but honestly most of the time I end up eating it plain. That is how good it is. Another big plus about this bakery is that they sell all their breads in 1/2 and sometimes 1/4 loafs. I love this flexibility for people like me who sometimes intake their carbs alone. I don't want to throw shade by naming bakery names, but the other baguettes in the neighborhood all fall short in either being overly salted, or having poor flavor development, tough crumb structures, or having crusts that are beyond hard and will cut your mouth up. Skip all these other sad baguette experiences and go to Partybus! Some of their other pastry case items are not for me, but I think this is a matter of personal taste. For example, I wanted the scallion bun to have more scallion flavor and be less rich. The bun is brioche-y and in my opinion the dough is overly enriched. However, to Partybus's credit, you can taste that they are using quality ingredients for the enriching! read more

Stopped in this morning to pick up some sweets for myself! This has been on my list for a little so wanted to try it. They have a pretty good selection of pastries and baked goods. I saw the chocolate almond croissant and immediately knew I had to get it. I had my first one ever in Paris and it was one of my favorite things I ate (not to be dramatic). This one was pretty dang close! It was stuffed with almond paste and chocolate and the croissant was so flaky and delicious! I also got the peanut chocolate cookie which was good as well. I wish the cookies were bigger, especially for the price. Overall this is a great little bakery with a good selection of sweet and savory baked goods and a very kind staff! read more

The bread is good but it isn't amazing enough for me to come back - the person in the cashier is so unhappy and nasty - we asked for our bread to be heated up she replied in an annoyed "all of it!?" And we only bought 3. She then bagged our bread on top of the trash can... I meaaaaan??? What was that about? Never had terrible service in my life. If you don't like your job, quit it. Place though could have better design but it is simple and clean, nothing fancy. read more
