Tom: Come here for the green tea latte (hot or cold) and their delicious pastries. The egg tart and green tea puff are my favs. Free wifi and comfortable ambience.
Eric Lubarsky: Cold brew, nitro brew, chocolate brownie chunk cookies, croissant muffin,
The Athenian Chic: Coffees and pastries to DIE FOR. Do get the stuffed almond croissant and orange cranberry scone. Simply divine.

fanchypants: Lovely second and third floor city views, great pastries and sweets, beautiful coffee containers, no wifi :(
Srinivas Vasudevan: Yummy Croissant Doughnut (Cronut). A great bakery in Times Square. Also had the mocha here and it was really good. There is a 3rd floor seating in case ppl want to have bread with a view!
Gary Williams: I really appreciate the unusual varieties of pastries always beautifully presented So hard to choose...
Serious Eats: We love their plain and marzipan- and nut-laden pistachio croissants, insanely chocolatey, crispy chocolate chip cookies, blackberry-almond danishes, and blueberry tarts with crisp, flaky crusts. Read more.
Nalin Kuachusri: Amazing croissant!
Keill Michaels: I love everything that I had there from the caviar to the croissants. Their breakfast is always worth a stop in.

Adrienne S: Excellent coffee and apricot croissants just like in Bella Italia. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Taline Ekmekjian: An espresso and cornetto (Italian-style croissant: plain or stuffed with vanilla cream, chocolate or apricot) in the morning at the counter... a little bit of Rome in NYC.
Kevin Skobac: A good morning starts with an apricot cornetto ( Italian apricot croissant) and a Marrocchino ( shot of espresso, cocoa powder, and some milk froth ) in this little hole in the wall.

Cristina González Alcalá: Milk bubble tea semi sweet. Green tea latte. Croissant doughnut.awesome
Ondrej K: The coffee cream brioche tastes wonderful
Ainhoa Ferrandis: All kind of light-tasty cakes. Chocolate cheese jam and ham, almonds sausage pastries... all really! Freshly done, very different flavour combinations! For sure there is something for you!
Randall: The Big Apple Doughnut is the exclusive, but it’s NOT worth $10.99. I tried it at the Grand Opening. If you must, buy it once and cut it into pieces and share. Spend your money on the HOT GLAZED!
Kimmie Ohh: You get to watch the donuts being made fresh!
Alina V: Classic donuts the best I’ve ever tried. NY APPLE special is like souvenirs in Times Square for tourists for $12, I do not recommend at all

Whits End: Delicious pastries!! Forget the pastry basket that includes a muffin and brioche, and order 6 croissants, chocolate croissants, apple turn overs, and raisin danish a la carte! :)
Emily P. 💠: I would definitely go back. Repetitively. From the bread to the appetizers and main course hit the spot. The branzino, scallops and dessert were all amazing.
Random House Publishing Group: Get the Chicken Salad. We call it the "magic salad" because it's so good.
The Corcoran Group: A true old-world upscale Italian restaurant – your Sicilian grandparents will love it. Try the Stewed Tripe, its delicious. And have a slice of the Cannoli Cake.
Jenna Lynn: Everything was amazing here but save room for dessert and get the cannoli cake! Also talk to sal the owner/cook- he will adjust anything on the menu for you. Class all the way!
Scott: Eat dessert first and thank me later. The Canoli cake! It was foodgasmicly good!

Sutian Dong: On the 29th every month, they have a special pastry!
Denis Sosnovtsev: Maybe I came at the wrong time, but the only decent thing here was the desert pastries. All the savory food was cold, stale, and offensive-tasting.
