Pistachio twist
Dom G.

Such a nice neighborhood bakery introduced by a friend. Have been coming here with the kids post swim lessons which has been very enjoyable. Straight forward ordering system - there is also a seating area at the back. Service has been nice and friendly. They have kindly heated up my purchases when requested.

Amy's Bread came through, with flying colors, on this one. Stopped by to purchase Amy's Sourdough Chocolate Twist Bread. Ohhhhh, boy.....it is SO GOOD. I brought some back for coworkers and it was justifiably gone within single digit minutes. Aside from the sourdough twist, they also have the chocolate twist with the sweeter, and less crunchy, challah bread. The staff are very helpful and they even set the order aside for me, which I highly appreciated. If you would rather enjoy your purchase at Amy's, they have a seating area, at the rear of the shop. Amy's has a lot more to offer, but if the other items are anywhere close to their chocolate twist.....you will need to stop by and enjoy their great line of sweets and goodies.

Right off 9th Avenue, but it always feels like a quiet respite from the city noise. Great service. Currently enjoying a devil's food cupcake with chocolate icing and a cappuccino. Absolutely delicious!

Nice atmosphere. Kinda dry, non descript pastries. I got a dinner roll and blueberry muffin. I was walking and eating so not pictures unfortunately. It was hot outside and even hotter in the cafe. Wanted to like them more cuz it's so cute out/inside this place!

My husband and I swing by Amy's every weekend to pick up our sourdough for the week. We used to get our bread from Whole Foods, but we found that the flavor and freshness is much better here for the price. My only complaint is sometimes the crust is crunchier/chewier than other times (I prefer when it's crispier), but I get that is hard to control for depending on the humidity/temperature outside. Every now and then, we decide to treat ourselves to a sweet treat. My go-to is the Pain au Chocolat, which is flakey and buttery with a good amount of chocolate in the middle - one of the best Pain au Chocolat that I've had in midtown. My husband usually gets the coconut cream bar w/ chocolate chips. The bar is super coconut-y and rich with the perfect amount of chocolate (the coconut doesn't get overpowered). It's a little too sweet for me to want an entire one, but I usually steal a bite because they're absolutely delicious. Amy's never disappoints and we'll be back next weekend to pick up more bread!

Lots of pastries including desserts, bagels, coffee bread, etc. also sold are breakfast sandwiches on croissants and bagels. I tried their everything bagel with butter. Their bakery is super cute and service is fast and friendly.

This well decorated small baked goods retailer has a variety of breads, sweet and savory baked goods, and beverages (teas, coffee). Today I had only a kitchen sink cookie and disappointingly it was just meh. Seriously, for the foot traffic you would think that it would be exceptional and maybe the other baked goods are but the cookie itself not so much.The two guys working there were a bit impatient and snarky when an inquiry was made about whether the cookie was hard or soft. Based on this one interaction I'd take my business elsewhere. Too bad because the ambience feels really cool, cozy, and a place like you'd wanna hang out read a book drink, coffee, and socialize.

Chocolate Cupcake
Melissa B.

I was looking for a bakery near my hotel in NYC with a bunch of pastry/dessert options and Amy's fit the bill! It's a small, cute little bakery cafe with drink options, sandwiches, breads, cakes, and more sweets! When you first walk in you are met with the bakery case and if it's busy I could see this getting a little cramped but I went mid-afternoon and there were only 2-3 people waiting in line. The line moved fast and I told the cashier what I wanted -- it was packed up quickly and I was out of there! You can definitely sit in their seating area in the back to enjoy your food and drink. They have a good amount of tables but I took mine to go. And they packaged it nicely -- the cupcake has its own individual plastic box so that it does not get ruined during transport. Both baked goods I had tasted awesome! They were fresh and just sweet enough. Definitely hit the spot for what I wanted. I would recommend this and would come back here to try other items or a coffee drink.

Classy and nicely decorated bakery that also have space for seating. They offer a range of breads, as well as sweet bakeries, and coffee/tea. Perfect for a weekend breakfast with friends. I got the sesame bagel which tastes fresh. Pricing wise, they are more reasonable than many other places you will find in town.

Bacon Egg and cheese on sesame seed bagel and a PBJ bagel
Robert D.

Nice little bakery with some seating. We got the PBJ bagel, the bacon egg and cheese bagel, the sticky bun, a pain au chocolat (chocolate filled croissant), and the sourdough chocolate croissant. I was looking forward to trying the salmon and cream cheese and also the black and white cookie, but they didn't have any. Everything was great and tasted fresh. The sticky bun said it was the best in NY. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was very close. The PBJ bagel was just okay. The bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel was super good and I highly recommend trying. My favorite thing we got was the sourdough chocolate twist. It was soft, chewy, with a slight crunch and just the right amount of dark chocolate. Man oh man was it tasty! The pain au chocolate was very flaky, but had almost no chocolate filling. I'd pass on that one if we went again unless we got hot chocolate to go with it. The best part is that it was walking distance from our hotel.

Sticky bun
Jaimie C.

I've been sampling from various pastry shops in nyc, and this is definitely one of my fave. Almost everything I got from here was fire. They are known for their sticky buns, which I thought was just ok compared to everything else they offer. 1. Sticky bun- (3.5/5) tastes pretty similar to a cinnamon bun but maybe less sweet? Pretty dense, not too sweet, but also nothing too special? 2. Almond brioche toast- (4.5/5) this is really good! Subtle almond taste. Fluffy bread. Tastes and smells divine. What more can one ask for 3. Coffee cake (5/5)- I love coffee cakes, and this one is exceptional! 4. Carrot cake-(4/5) Very rich and creamy. First few bites were really good, but can be a bit too rich after the first few bites. I do like their other items more

Not great. Small muffins that were dry. Not very flavorful pastries. I've had much better.

Love the product here. But the service here is brutally slow. Takes forever. And often closed.

I see The Pantry is vacant in the morning. Possible to sit there when the bakery fills up?

There are only few tables on the back. And it is a small bakery. But worth it.

Does the carrot cake have raisins? If so, is there a way to get them without?

Thank you for your interest in our carrot cake, it does not contain raisins.

I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

This is my third time going and I have to say I finally got the right desert the third time…read more Shared pics from all 3. Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

Great coffee and sandwiches. Small space for eating but it's fast and simple…read more Really good sausage egg and cheese. Their baked goods are also top notch, but could use more sugar. Their house made hot sauce is delish!

Sometimes a plain, room temperature English muffin is not going to do it for breakfast. Today was…read moreone of those days that I need subsistence to get me through the morning. Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.
