    Cinnamon roll
    Anushka M.

    They had a weekend special cereal milk cold brew latte I wanted to try and I ended up getting the last one! There was a small line Sunday morning but it took maybe 5 minutes. I ordered the latte and their original cinnamon roll. The space inside is only enough for 2-3 groups to order, no seating. The latte was good but a little too sweet for me, and the cinnamon roll was good, especially the icing.

    First Impressions: made the mistake of coming here on a Saturday in the afternoon (approximately 2pm) and ALL the pastries we wanted to try were gone!! We made sure to come back Sunday about an hour after opening and got a bunch of yummy pastries.. Do yourself a favor and come early before everything sells out! First impressions: their croissant cinnamon buns are fantastic! Light, airy, flaky, warm and just the right amount of sweetness... also the pastry to frosting ratio was perfect! In Conclusion: 100% worth coming back a second time (and getting SOAKED) by a sudden spring shower the first time (Saturday) because when we came back on Sunday it was a bright and sunny day

    sunshine croissant

    Finally got to try Tall Poppy and it did not disappoint! Some of the crispiest, flakiest croissant pastries with really unique flavors. We came primarily for the sunshine croissant, but all three were delicious. * Sunshine croissant - guava, passionfruit, and orange custard filling. Not too sweet, good lamination. Croissant was nice and crispy. * Turkish egg croissant - a runny egg on top of a savory yogurt base and drizzled with chili crisp and dill. Suuuuuper crispy and flakey. * Everything cruffin - everything seasoning with a chive cream cheese. Probably my least favorite - cream cheese could use more chive flavor and the others had a crispier, flakier dough, but understandable, as this is their special take on the everything bagel and cream cheese combo Came on a Saturday at 9:30am. There was no wait and all pastries were in stock! It's a little pricey but delicious.

    I've now been to tall poppy several times and it might just be my favorite bakery in the city. Their laminated dough is fantastic (butter!!) and serves as the basis for so much of what they do. Their cinnamon buns never miss and the everything cruffin is top notch. staff is always helpful and kind, even when it's packed. highly recommend.

    Heard so many good things about Tall Poppy and finally got to try it. I've been a few times now and have to say they definitely are one of the best bakeries in Manhattan and love the concept that everything they do here is with laminated dough, including their quite impressive cinnamon roll that holds its own in the now stiff competition of Cinnamon Rolls in NYC. The cream cheese frosting was nice and smooth, on the sweeter side, not too funky, and that lamination in the dough was nice and airy, with a crunch that went throughout which you don't get to often. I for one like crunch as a texture, though I know cinnamon rolls tend to be soft/doughy. Their regular croissants were also delicious and definitely high ranking in NYC, I'd say. The rotating flavors are great too, including this cookie crusted one that wasn't too sweet despite the name.

    I love a cinnamon roll so I finally tried one from Tall Poppy. When I got to the bakery, there were only 2 left! Mikayla (I think that was her name) was lovely to talk to. She shared the specials they had. I went home and heated up my cinnamon roll in the air fryer. It tasted much better after being heated up. It tasted like an elevated Cinnabon but crispier edges. I liked the frosting a lot. It wasn't my favorite cinnamon roll I've had in nyc but it's still solid!

    Even though I got there not too long after it opened, there was already a small queue with the counter looking pretty empty! Definitely a rising star in the NYC bakery scene.

    Brown butter chocolate chip cookie
    Neha G.

    Oh my what a selection of carbs! Lol Stopped by for a brown butter cookie. They were sold out but managed to find one for me. Just under $5 for this treat! Chocolate chip brown butter with a hint of sea salt was very good! If you're feeling more indulgent, they are known for their cinnamon rolls and giant croissants. (Approx $10) Perhaps after I run a few miles I can try them! Hah! Small bakery with no indoor seating or restroom. There is one small table outside. They also sell coffee!

    Key lime bun and summer croissant
    Christina L.

    Absolutely love this bakery! They have rotating monthly specials-- they had a passionfruit/guava croissant and key lime bun (my personal favorite) for May. The croissants and buns are so crispy but also soft on the inside, I highly recommend trying. I will be back in the upcoming months to try their new flavors!!

    Guava croissant
    Yarn Y.

    Came in at 8a on a Tuesday and the place had no line . I got the key lime pastry and the guava croissant - both were very good - good amount of filling and dough was crispy and tasty . Not cheap (about 10$ a pastry)

    Brown sugar croissant, buffalo chicken croissant
    Lily B.

    Fun bakery specials? I'm there. Tall Poppy has a buffalo chicken croissant for March Madness, and I knew I had to try. Also snagged their brown sugar pop tart inspired croissant. The staff was so kind and helpful in this tiny shop. They do have a few tables outside to enjoy the treats. I also got this cute hat to commemorate this bakery stop

    Hot Cross Buns
    Seby I.

    Croissants at Tall Poppy are always a delight to eat. Invariably I come here after exercising around 1 pm which then gives me all pastries at half price. While that's nice but one day I want to come early so that I can see everything that's been put out for the day. This time I also got a carrot cake in the shape of a muffin which I ate later. It was toothsome. I also had the pleasure of meeting Nina, the charming Australian owner. Tall Poppy is quite small but packed with deliciousness. Highly recommended.

    Tiramisu croissant, pistachio croissant
    Sylvia T.

    Amaretto almond croissant was def the best of all the pastries I've tried. it was crazyyyyy good I probably would say best almond croissant I've ever had. The praline was excellent. The hot cross bun I was not super excited for but it was good. It was just like layers of thin pastry with custard and fruit but it was gas - kinda like an Apple tart or smtg. The everything cruffin good flavor and I love cream cheese especially savory, but the dough was severely underbaked in the one I had. Cookie was nothing to write home about, just a normal choco chip not very gooey or crispy or chewy. Second time I got tiramisu croissant, pistachio croissant, and normal cinnamon roll. The pistachio croissant was great. Although a little sweet it had a nutty flavor. Tiramisu had like a tiramisu cream cheese ish filling which I wasn't a super big fan of. It was def too sweet. Both croissants were slightlyyyy soggy but I mean they probably came out in the morning but still buttery just not superrr crunchy. Cinnamon roll was good. Pretty dense but not bready and soft like other cinnamon rolls. Was probably croissant dough ish but I kind of liked that it wasn't superrr mushy. But the icing and cinnamon flavors were good honestly I liked this a lot. It was comparable to somedays bun but I liked the blueberry icing better over there. More flavor depth. Still a great and unique cinnamon roll. There is no seating inside sooooo watch out for that. Two small tables outside. Employees are super nice though and the pastry case is beautiful. LOVEEEE the rotating menus.

The Mango and Pistachio looked so realistic and mirrored the flavors perfectly. I love the size of their cakes which are perfect to share with a group of 4. I indulged in their Black Sesame Mochi Cake and Blueberry Chiffon Cake which both have the fluffiest sponge cake base, a fluffy vibrant cream, and fresh ingredients and fruit. Give their drinks a try too. I enjoy their matcha here! The Traffic Lights is a strawberry matcha with a mango cream top.

It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!
