Notable Picks
8.5
The Sydney-born Bourke Street Bakery’s NoMad outpost is a bright, all-day bakery known for serious sourdough, Australian-style meat pies, and deeply layered pastries. It’s where neighborhood regulars grab croissants and coffee in the morning, then come back for sausage rolls, sandwiches, and tarts later in the day.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sausage roll, Almond croissant, Maple bacon danish
What Makes it Special: Australian-style bakery with standout sourdough, pies, and laminated pastries.
8.3
An Italian-leaning pastry counter with a modern, glossy case: laminated doughs, mousse cakes, and seasonal entremets executed with real technique. The croissant program is the anchor—light, properly honeycombed, and not cloying—while the filled pastries skew playful without veering gimmicky. Expect a steady stream of neighborhood regulars and office walk-ins; service is quick, not fussy.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pistachio croissant, Raspberry mousse cake, Tiramisu cup
What Makes it Special: Italian pastry technique filtered through Asian-influenced flavors and clean execution.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A dessert-heavy bakery specializing in celebration cakes and Middle Eastern-American mashups, best known for over-the-top chocolate and pistachio builds. The case is a mix of hits and misses—go for their signature slices rather than the widest-net classics. It’s a walk-in, takeout-first setup with a loyal late-day crowd looking for a sugar fix.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dubai chocolate cheesecake, Cannoli cake slice, Pistachio kunafa-style dessert
What Makes it Special: Maximalist, regionally inspired cakes that stand out from standard NYC patisserie.
