where the pastries are vibey and the lines are usually worth it
their focaccia is unreal—crispy edges, olive oil-soaked, and topped with combos like mortadella + pistachio or potato + onion. they’ve got killer croissants too, but the savory bakes are where they shine most.
Radio Bakery
mochi muffins that are chewy in the best way and come in seasonal flavors like black sesame or matcha. also lowkey has one of the best breakfast burritos in the city—massive, well-balanced, and not greasy.
Ceremonia Bakeshop
the scallion pancake b.e.c. is what dreams are made of—flaky, chewy, savory perfection. pair it with a mochi donut or a chilled soy milk tea and you’re set. taiwanese-american comfort food at its best.
Win Son Bakery
pre-order only and totally worth it. filipino-inspired doughnuts filled with things like leche flan, mango cream, or ube halaya. each one is rich, nostalgic, and beautifully done.
KORA
mediterranean-Japanese fusion. soft milk buns, pistachio croissants, and egg sandwiches on brioche. feels like a neighborhood gem you want to gatekeep (but can’t).
Thea Bakery
italian-style neighborhood spot with killer maritozzi (cream-filled buns), bomboloni, and flakey ricotta pastries. everything’s made fresh and served with love—good vibes only.
La Bicyclette Bakery
manhattan
best manhattan bakeries
middle eastern-inspired pastries done with serious technique. the za’atar croissant, black cardamom bun, and pistachio rose loaf are all flavor bombs. the whole place smells like butter and spices.
Librae Bakery
a classic. the banana pudding is still that girl—especially the seasonal versions like chocolate hazelnut or red velvet. the pudding always delivers.
Magnolia Bakery - Rockefeller Center
small-batch baked goods that feel homemade but elevated. the banana bread is iconic. their salted chocolate chunk cookie is one of the best in the city—chewy, gooey, and always fresh.
Red Gate Bakery
v extra and v good. wild flavors like miso caramel or cereal milk in laminated croissants that are photogenic and actually delicious. also: the boxes and packaging are next level.
Supermoon Bakehouse
japanese-french fusion bakery that’s super underrated. get the black sesame cream puffs or matcha tiramisu. the textures are so delicate, and it’s never too sweet. also has a tiny café if you want to sit.
Patisserie Fouet
not your typical bakery—but the open-faced smørrebrød, flaky cardamom buns, and dense nordic rye breads are all worth the hype. it’s cozy, stylish, and everything feels intentionally made. go for brunch, stay for the cinnamon roll. kind of feels like...
