Michelle WilesJune 25, 2017The chocolate chip cookie is worth the calories. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Don't forget the napkin for the inevitable chocolate smears all over your face. Unless that's just me.
Jen DangOctober 16, 2012Adorable French bakery! Tried the almond croissant after reading everyone's tips and it didn't disappoint! Chai latte is also perfect on a chilly day.
Roger RMay 31, 2016Giant macaroons for 3 bucks??? Crazy good. La Combe coffee which is amazing..we have dinner plans if not I would've tried everything they had..giant merengue and cookies looked fantastic!
The Corcoran GroupJune 17, 2013The scent of baked sugar wafts out of Almondine Bakery every morning and before you know it, your nose will lead you into the bakery. Order an assortment of French macaroons or an almond croissant!
Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012This charming French patisserie serves eye-catching treats. Seating is limited to five tables and a breakfast bar, so arrive early—you may be able to score an almond croissant before they run out. Read more
Kimmie OhhAugust 8, 2020Their $14 lunch special includes 1/2 sandwich, green salad, cookie or macaron & any (small) beverage.
Best Almond Croissants anywhere in NYC so it will make everything inferior and you'll be in Dumbo everyday looking for it like crack. This might be good depending on who you are.
Serious EatsAugust 18, 2011Their croissants and chocolate chip cookies are excellent—but don't overlook their flaky-crusted squares of fruit tarts, superior oat streusel-topped raspberry muffins, or weekend jelly doughnuts. Read more
Brooklyn UnitedMarch 7, 2012Try the almond croissant! Whether it's studio-wide treats on Fridays or the spread at Creative Mornings, the croissants here are delicious. We've also been known to pick up a few cakes for birthdays.- How do they eke so much flavor out of such simple sandwiches? Consistently amazing soup as well.
Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013Start the morning right with one of Brooklyn’s finest almond croissants. It has that great balance of sweetness and flakiness. Don’t go too late because these get sold quickly!
CompassApril 24, 2014The award-winning bakery specializing in all things Euro and delicious, from small batch macarons to fresh coffee paired with chocolate croissants.
Victor BragaApril 30, 2017The heated Croque Monsieur is really tasty. When you ask for a cup of coffee, check the cup sizes beforehand. The small one is already big.
TaniaAugust 27, 2023Very nice place with amazing deserts, coffee and atmo! Def worth to come again&again!
HolidayNovember 28, 2018Exceptional bakery, I always stop by when I’m in the area. Valrhona hot chocolate (lightly sweetened) baguettes, soups, pastries.
MarcApril 3, 2014Tasting Table Choc Chip Cookie List: "The Dumbo bakery bounced back from Sandy-shuttering. Herve Poussot's wide, crunchy, caramelly cookies are still on point"
So they have great pastries and coffee that's basically rocket fuel, but the most overlooked item is their soup. Made fresh daily and delicious (if a bit pricey at $5 a cup).
ShahSeptember 2, 2014Hands down the best baguettes in the city (get a whole or the turkey sandwich), and I should know, I've had them all.
Leland SJune 10, 2013They aren't known for their muffins, but the blueberry muffin here is the greatest muffin in America. If you see them coming out of the oven, just do it.
Melody ThomasSeptember 13, 2011Missing that little cafe you loved in Paris? No need to wait until your next trip, enjoy a cafe and croissant or macaron at the quaint Almondine at their romantic Water street location.
Liang ShiSeptember 21, 2014Came for the much raved about almond croissant. Sad because it tasted like the inside of a fridge. I think it has to do with the way they store their dough. Quiches are sublime.
Paul SanwaldDecember 7, 2015Great coffee. Blueberry muffins are underrated, and the almond chocolate croissants are a great treat.- BasakJuly 27, 2014Go early and grab a fresh baguette sandwich before they run out. And satisfy your sweet tooth with an almond croissant.
Quincy KosterAugust 6, 2014The cookies, macaron, and almond croissants are incredible, as is the homemade lemonade. Consistently and authentically tasty.
Get a croissant first thing when they open - truly amazing experience. Fluffy buttery warmth that melts in your mouth.
Giselle GianichiniNovember 11, 2014Almond chocolate croissant is delicious!! Macarons are also pretty good!! 😍
Gene SuperDecember 18, 2015If you want to try their amazing beignets get there early on a weekend. By 11am they're all gone!
Nicholas DoyleDecember 15, 2015Good veggie sandwich. Good almond croissant, but totally bereft of atmosphere. Grab your food and head to the park.
marcus HApril 20, 2017Nice but not so special... and honestly I am surprised to get high standard cakes and coffee served on plastic plates and cups. Embarrassing!
BuzzFeedApril 11, 2014This DUMBO bakery sustained serious damage after Hurricane Sandy, and was forced to close for almost a year. They’re back up and running now, and their almond croissant makes New York a better place.

Croissants are on point, and the croque monsieur, made with a croissant instead of bread, is an immensely tasty gutbomb of epic proportions. Yum!
If you see the muffin sized pretzel balls come fresh out of the oven, just go ahead and get it. Delicious with or without cheese (Swiss I think)
Amazing croissants! Brother in law on layover in NY from Paris to SF came here and thought they were better than all ones in Paris.
Marina CardosoSeptember 23, 2016AMAZING sandwiches and pastries. 5 stars to the chocolate mousse and the quiche!
I go early in the morning, when the staff is not dealing with the tourist rush, and I can get the best muffins in town (try raspberry!).
Baked goods are excellent of course, but try the quiche - the eggs are so light and fluffy!
Christian LawsonAugust 16, 2011Go on a Weekday!! The Almond Croissants and Danishes are rather amazing with the Double Espresso being really smooth. Worth the walk!
This place smells like butter, even from 50 feet away. I'm pretty sure that butter is the main ingredient in everything, which in my opinion is a good thing. Get the almond chocolate croissant!
weekdays: Get a "rocher" - dark chocolate ganache balls with hazelnuts... perfect breakfast/mid day chocolate infusion: only $1.25! weekends: get a beignet. Everything is awesome. I love this place.
Serena BehofsitsJune 21, 2011The vanilla macaroons melt in your mouth & taste like ice cream. The chocolate croissant is buttery, flakey, & has just the right amount of chocolate.- Stuart AdlerFebruary 27, 2014Yummy bread baked on-site. Arrive early though, for the whole grain breads
