Best chocolate chip cookies hands down!!!! So chocolatey with milk chocolate pieces on top of the cookie!!! What a great taste. Better than their competitor across the street. read more

Sometimes you just need a croissant. After scoping out Almondine Bakery's cases, I purchased the chocolate croissant which was $5.35. This was a good value since the last chocolate croissant I ate in the city was about $7. But Almondine's version wasn't quite as flaky as I'd hoped and reminded me of a sweet bun instead. The chocolate portion was very delicious however. In addition to the items you're used to seeing at a French bakery, there was Baked Alaska which was a unique offering. Regarding cookies, only chocolate walnut and oatmeal raisin were available. The cushioned tan seats were looking worse for wear and had some mysterious stains on them. There were a few tables with chairs and outside, a bench. Some paintings inside added a classy art gallery feel. read more

I came here hoping to try an almond croissant. They had a chocolate almond croissant, which I never had. I also ordered an iced coffee. The iced coffee was okay, nothing noteworthy. The chocolate almond croissant wasn't really my thing. I think I prefer a regular almond croissant. The service was okay. It's a cute shop but I didn't dine in. read more

Great cafe for pastries. I went toward the end of the day and have a decent selection of pastries, but I was expecting a bit more for a bakery. I really enjoyed the creme brûlée, the pan aux raisin was ok. read more

Almondine is a quaint little shop, with some solid pastries, and okay coffee. The space is quite tight, and there isn't much seating, but luckily the surrounding area is a nice neighborhood to walk around if you'd rather do that. The staff were friendly enough. Overall, a decent spot to stop for a bite and a coffee, but not sure I'd go out of my way for it. read more

This is a cute coffee shop located in Dumbo, Brooklyn. It is right by the water too. This place you need to go early especially on weekends. It is a small place but when you walk in you can smell the fresh bread and pastries. I only got an iced latte. I wish it tasted better though. Staff were nice here. If you are in the area you should stop in. read more

The bakery was really good. We tried the apple turnover which was stuffed and not sweet. Also liked the caramelization. Service was also good and they have some good seating. However the bakery smells like cleaning products. read more

Stopped by this small shop after walking to DUMBO. The line was to the door. Service was quick, but it was also rushed for each customer. There is limited seating but I liked that they sell local art in the space. I got the ham and cheese croissant and a raspberry macaron. I appreciated that they offered to heat up the croissant. Both items were average. read more

Cute French bakery near DUMBO. Came here with my boyfriend for a quick snack and got a latte, chocolate almond croissant, and Ferrero rocher. They have limited seating indoors but we nabbed a spot at a table. Public restroom is available. Credit cards accepted. The croissant was incredibly flaky and buttery, and the ferrero rocher was less sweet than the commercial kind, but more delicately smooth. A lot of people were coming in and out for takeout and though there seemed to always be a short line, it moved quickly. read more

Almond croissants are my favorite pastries. And I have to say this is probably one of the best almond croissants I've had. They put so much filling inside the croissant that is fresh and flaky. My biggest regret is only ordering one. They offer a variety of French pastries and coffee drinks. The line was long on a Sunday morning with only 1 lady working as cashier and barista. read more

Adorable shop in Dumbo with coffee, pastries and sandwiches. Ordered a few ice coffees, almond croissant and pistachio macaron. Almond croissant was good but different - very dense. Iced coffees were strong and perfect for a pick me up on a hot summer day. Macaron, delicious! read more

This was an unexpected stop in our trip to Brooklyn, but my friend and I are so glad we went. We woke up pretty late and had a very late reservation to another spot in Brooklyn, so we were starving. After grabbing a very necessary coffee, we decided to see what else was near to grab a light bite. Almondine Bakery caught our eye. We knew we had made the right choice when there was a line almost out the door. Initially, we were deciding among pastries, but their sandwiches caught out eye. It was definitely the right choice. Each bite was so delicious, and the butter + sauce were cherries on top. It actually ended up making us really full despite the fact that we split one sandwich. I would definitely come back again. I'm not usually a fan of cold sandwiches, but this really hit the spot. I want to try their pastries next time! read more

This is our 8th year ordering a cake from Almondine and each and every year I have to say it gets better and better. We started with our son's baby shower and each year order a cake for his birthday. I come up with a theme and Herve delivers. He is now 7. Not only is it gorgeous it's absolutely delicious. I'm obsessed with chocolate raspberry and chocolate passion but you can't go wrong with any flavor you choose. This year we chose a rock and roll theme and it came out perfectly. Thanks again Almondine see you soon! read more

This might be the best bakery in NYC - I'm writing a review as I just realized I have been coming here for 20 years and the quality and taste of the cakes and pastries are still incredible. Hervé the baker is French and it shows... the ingredients - cream, chocolate, fruits - are always top, very fresh and nothing is too sweet. My favorites are still the chocolate passion and the lemon raspberry cakes; my husband loves the French baguettes and my son the pain au chocolat or croissants. Such a special spot! thank you to all at Almondine! read more

Decent cafe with variety sandwich and pastries. I had the Madeline and iced chai with oat milk. They also have tiramisu! The seating is minimal but cozy. The staff were nice and accommodating. Nice stop while working in dumbo. read more

This trip took a few times because Almondine is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. But, I managed to stop by on a rainy Thursday afternoon. The bakery is pretty small and located right next to the Time Out Market in Dumbo, but it has a really quaint, neighborhood feel. There are a few tables and a bench outside with piles and piles of pastries and fresh bread put out behind the counter. Unfortunately, I arrived too late for their famed almond croissant but I did manage to get a plain ($4.60) and a chocolate ($5.10). I thought the croissants were quite soft and had lovely airy pockets but not much butter flavor. The pain au chocolat was very lovely and chocolatey but knowing L'Appartement 4F is only a 15 min walk away, I think I would rather head over there. This is not to say Almondine isn't great, but I do think as far as pain au chocolat go, it's not their strength. The bakery also offers savory quiches and sandwiches that I will be sure to return for. read more

I truly think this is one of my favorite bakeries/cafes in the world. I love that the goodies are baked on-site and even more so that they serve the delicious La Colombe coffee at this establishment. It is quite small on the inside of the bakery but there is enough space for a handful of folks to sit. Lastly, the service is great and when there is a line which there sometimes is, they move swiftly. Also, the pastries are absolutely delightful. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place even though I've been coming here for 10+ years! Probably because I've been coming here before I started Yelping. My favorite items are the almond croissant and the desserts. My friends and I ordered the lemon/raspberry/pistachio entremet cake, the berry éclair, and the chocolate croissant. Their desserts are so pretty and high quality. The portions are much larger than your average French bakery so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Also, their bakery items are always fresh and not cloyingly sweet. I definitely preferred the berry éclair the most since it's light and the choux pastry was perfect. The staff are always so nice. I'll definitely be back since this place is the only reason I come to DUMBO haha. read more

I usually come here for their decadent almond croissants, they usually sell out earlier in the day so if you want to snag one you have to be an early bird - like before 9am type of early. I have also tried their quiche, different types of sandwiches, croque monsieur, and a number of pastries. Almondine is a classic French bakery that isn't pretentious and surprisingly their coffee is well priced. One of my favorite sandwiches is the Mortadella, the bread is epic! The wonderful people who work there have been there for years and are lovely. I've been a customer since 2017 and it's still one of my favorite places in Dumbo. read more

Yum! Supreme croissants--especially the butter, almond, and chocolate almond--are next level. The pastries and beautiful desserts are always a treat, but I'm especially a sucker for the beignets. I rarely make it home before sneaking a bite (or three). Despite how busy it can get, the staff is always pleasant and efficient--and every now and then, they surprise us with a little something extra for my son, which makes the experience even sweeter. read more

The bakery is clean and has limited seating. Coffee is good. I got the lemonade and it was not good. It was light in flavor and bitter, no sweetness to it. It wasn't refreshing. The Pistachio Panna cotte was good. I also got the pretzel bun and it was not worth it. It was very condensed and thick. There was no flavor to it either. read more

The almond croissant here is really really good. I get it every time I go. I tried the raspberry crepe cake last time I came but I wouldn't get it again. The cream and raspberries were good but the crepe layers were too thick for me. I highly recommend trying the croissants and will be back to try other things. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Overall: There are a lot of options here.  My selections were pretty standard fare. The extended review... Food: Almond Croissant - 3/5 - It was a little flatter than the croissants I've had.  It had a good taste but pretty standard fare. Lemon Pistachio - 2/5 - On paper it was an intriguing mix of flavors.  There was something about this that didn't mix well.  I think perhaps it was just a little too tart.  I was looking for a little more sweetness to balance out the tartness but it wasn't there unfortunately. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3.5/5 - It's a cute spot with some places to sit and gobble down your treats. read more

Food: 3/5 Standard Turkey sandwich is good and flavorful. Expensive ; could be more fuller with portion of meat for the price. Service : 0/5 As this is an updated review , I come to this bakery because the baguette bread is good and they have sandwiches that I like and have heard the soup is good also. But I felt inclined to update my review because the customer service is STILL not the best to my liking. I've noticed as a African American woman the service is not the same as other individuals who come in and that's unacceptable. Hence additional 2 star deduction. When I place my order the energy feels like they don't want to service me which is odd... hmmm I wonder what's that about. I get looked at like and it makes me feel like I'm being Ostracized. Complete RED FLAG For me. Not to mention this suppose to be a fancy French bakery with horrible service and it's very expensive for what? Even if the food is decent and tasty that's no way to treat paying customers. For the prices you pay $11+ the portion size should be bigger and well made not skimpy like this sandwich. Like it should have way more meat and lettuce. Ambiance : basic French decor / minimal very small space Also the boss isn't the most pleasant or staff. With the exception of one lady whose pleasant she is tall. Because of this I don't think I'll be back any time soon. The service and treatment is SUBPAR. read more

I truly enjoy Alamodine's although I don't know what some of the treats are called I use the "point to order method" "can I get one of these, thank you". This is the type of place that you're lucky to find, excellent service & everything is done with pride & care. I have tried their chocolate croissant, the regular croissant, strawberry shortcake, the tuna & the veggie sandwiches all very delicious. I wish they had a no cheese sandwich option but that's honestly my only complaint Pictures below are treats I got for my birthday that I didn't know the name of, needless to say: rather you know the name of what you're ordering or not THEY DON'T MISS! read more

I stopped by Almondine Bakery in hopes of acquiring one of their acclaimed almond croissants. I should have known that by 4PM on a Sunday, they would be all sold out. We settled for a slice of cheesecake and flan ($5.60 each). Although not what we had originally anticipated, we loved both of these pastries. The cheesecake is possibly one of the best I've ever had. Not usually cheesecake fan because of how heavy and cloying they can be, I loved how light and airy Almondine Bakery's was. It was like eating a lightly sweet cloud. The flan had beautiful caramelization on top. Like the cheesecake, it was not too sweet and wonderfully light. I will have to return to try their almond croissant. The bakery is taking COVID precautions seriously, with indoor seating removed and a table at the entrance with hand sanitizer. read more

One of the best croissants in NYC! I made a very quick stop to this bakery and had one of the best croissants I've ever tried in the city. It was incredibly buttery, crispy, light, and most importantly, it was big! The bakery itself is cutely decorated and offers a limited amount of seating. There was a line of people when I entered but the staff was quick and efficient, making it a short wait. I wasn't able to try any of their other food items or drinks during this visit but will definitely come back again! read more

What a charming spot! Before you even walk in, the exterior of the bakery is just lovely, and the interior is even homier and more adorable. It's like a cross between a cafe and your family friend's living room. The pastries in the case all look absolutely stunning, and let me tell you, they taste equally as amazing. Wonderfully executed, excellently presented, kind staff and quick service. I would definitely recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a delicious treat and a nice cup of coffee on a rainy day. read more

I was very whelmed by the eponymous almond croissant here. We got here around 9:30 AM, which happened to be early enough to snag an almond croissant, which allegedly sell out. But upon first bite, I faced disappointment. It tasted weirdly eggy, with none of the richness you'd expect from a high-quality almond croissant. Maybe we got an off one? Maybe their chocolate or regular croissants are better? Not sure. read more

This review of two pastries, something that pretended to be a large pistachio macaroon and another that was a large raspberry macaroon. The macaroon components of both were dense, chewy, and devoid of flavor other than sweetness. The pistachio did not taste of pistachio. The raspberry did not taste of any fruit at all. Just food coloring from what I could tell. What was supposed to be pistachio cream also lacked any distinctive flavor and had a texture that led me to think it was colored whipped Crisco. The filling for the raspberry thingy was a dense, slick, sorta kinda buttercream, but was it butter based or was it again Crisco? I'm not sure. Between the two the prize goes to the raspberry item because it at least had lots of real raspberries. One on done on this place. read more

Do not go here!!!!The workers had the worst attitude. Rushed us for no reason. All for the worst croissant I ever had, not even that it was just a lump of hard heavy bread. Almost a pound cake.

This bakery has high-quality pastries and desserts that can make anyone cheats on their diets (me). I am not a huge fan of sweets but every time I'm at this bakery I end up leaving with at least two or three different kinds of desserts in my hand. You can easily spend $50.00 at this place because the stuff is pretty pricey, however the quality is worth it. My favorite things here are the Tiramisu, flan, Quiche, and the coffee macaroons. The Tiramisus is absolutely delicious, not too sweet just the way I like it. The one thing I dislike about this bakery are the services. I have been here a few times and was served by multiple staffs, everyone has the same cold and distant vibe. I'm not expecting a conversation here but at least smile or have some energy in your voice. They're not rude but they're not friendly or helpful. Like when I asked about a new item I see on the shelf, the staff didn't seem like she wants to explain about it. She just wants me to get what I wanted and get out of there. Even before COVID, the staff was not friendly/nice. So it's not because of COVID that got them to want their customers out quick! 4 stars for desserts 1 star for services read more

FYI Almondine will be closed from 9/1-9/15 and will reopen 9/16! Highly recommend the blueberry muffin. I'll have to go back and ask them what's in it because it tastes like a combination of blueberry and tea?? Delicious. Great almond croissant if you like the "flat type" like I do instead of an overly inflated but crunchy/flaky type. Latte was so-so, but not burnt. Will definitely depend on the barista. There was very little wait on Sunday morning at 8:30AM, so that's a bonus! They don't allow dogs in. Love that it's close to the waterfront but most importantly, to the dog park so that we can enjoy our breakfast while our pup plays! read more
