Really great Donut Shop in Greenpoint Brooklyn, with the Old Skool Polish Neighborhood Vibes…read more The Donuts here are FANTASTIC - huge selection, super sweet & highly caloric but if you're gonna go for it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot! There's usually a line to buy donuts but they have tons of women working behind the counter in their retro smocks, filling orders & slinging pastries. Cash Only! No credit cards or mobile payments accepted. They do have an ATM onsite if you don't have cash on you (not that rare these days - I've been caught lacking here from time to time...). Perhaps the greatest quote ever to sum this place comes from the inimitable Tina Fey who discovered the treats here years ago & had this say @ Peter Pan: "The best doughnut? That's Peter Pan doughnuts in Brooklyn... It's a white-cream-filled powdered doughnut. And I really believe, when I first tried it, if I had a penis, I would put it in this doughnut. I finally understand what you guys are thinking about and what motivates you guys." She's not wrong...

Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop is located in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. The shop has an…read moreeat-in section that gives off diner vibes, but the counter section is fast-paced, interactive, and serving customers as soon as they walk in. There were several choices of donuts and pastries. They were all very fresh. There are plenty of donut spots to visit in NYC and beyond, but make sure you stop by Peter Pan the next time you are in town. 5/5 Til we eat again....

A welcome addition to the area. This bakery has a wonderful selection of fresh breads like…read moresourdough, baguettes, Italian, challah, Pullman loaves, croissants, cookies, and cakes. They recently started selling sandwiches and breakfast fare next door. I walk my daughter to school in the morning and the aroma of freshly baked bread is addictive. I almost always have to go in. The one thing I cannot resist is their ham and cheese croissant. It's huge and about $4.50 a pop. It's buttery and flaky and absolutely perfect... especially since Nick +Son moved to greenpoint. Nothing like a freshly baked croissant. They also deliver which has been a good experience as well.

The cafe sells INCREDIBLE food. The breakfast sandwiches are beyond delicious. They customize ur breakfast sandwich as well & the employees are very nice & welcoming. The smoothies are DELICIOUS!!!!! They only have 1 size which is probably the only bad thing about this place. Then there's the bakery on the corner of manhattan av and Montrose. The BREAD sold there IS THE BEST BREAD U HAVE EVER HAD!!! It's fresh all the time ( very soft) & they have a variety of breads. They also sell coffee and cakes. Fresh bread is constantly coming out due to it selling out so u may have to wait 5 minutes for a new batch) I give Tasty Bread Artisan a 10/10.

I came here for the cinnamon roll and it did not disappoint!! One of my favorite cinnamon rolls…read moreI've had in NYC. It was soft and chewy and I loved the cream cheese frosting. We had it heated up but waited a bit before we ate it. So I can imagine how yummy it would be after it's heated up. There's only 2 bar stools to sit at, so it's more of grab and go place. There is no air inside..: I was dying.

The Peanut Butter Brownie Danish (8/10) was perfectly flaky and crispy, with a chocolatey brownie,…read moresilky smooth peanut butter cream, and a delicious caramel drizzle. The cream was light in texture but the whole pastry still tasted pretty heavy. It was definitely sweet, especially with the caramel, but I loved the peanut crunch on top. Overall it tasted like a chocolate peanut butter danish with a bunch of different textures. Definitely more of a dessert than a breakfast pastry. I also tried my friend's Chocolate Chip Cookie (4/10) and it wasn't really my thing. It was super gooey with chunks of blondie-like texture throughout. Service (9/10) was amazing. The guy helping us was so nice! The space is really small with no seating besides a counter along the wall, so I'd say this is more of a quick pastry stop than a place to sit and chill.

I'm so grateful that a Paris Baguette is in this area since many of them tend to be in the City…read more This particular location is great because it's not as tight as some of the locations I've seen, and it has decent seating and lighting. Additionally, the service has been prompt, the few times I've went. My favorite hot drink is the hot chocolate which is one of the best I've had in all of NYC, but only with oat milk as far as I know. I also love their pastries and fresh tasting sandwiches. I do recommend.

stopped into Paris Baguette the other day and it's exactly what you want from a chain like this…read more Not pretending to be artisanal, but still hitting a solid level of quality. I grabbed a ham and cheese croissant and a strawberry soft cream cake. The croissant was actually flaky with a decent butter flavor, not dry or bready like a lot of chain spots. The ham wasn't cheap-tasting either, which I half expected. The strawberry cake was light and not overly sweet, more whipped cream than sugar bomb, which made it easy to finish without feeling gross. Also tried their iced latte. Nothing fancy, but it wasn't burnt or watery, which honestly already puts it above a lot of similar chains. What stands out is consistency. You can walk into almost any location and know exactly what you're getting. Display is always stocked, everything looks clean, and the ordering process is quick even when it's busy. It's not a destination bakery, but that's not the point. It's a reliable, better-than-average stop when you want something quick that still feels a little elevated.

Even though I like supporting, small, independent businesses, this franchise location is very…read moreconvenient and always stocked with fresh pastries foods, & cakes. The staff is really nice and easy-going. Also, the young (I think) 2nd Gen owner (very cool seeing the culture carried on) is there a lot. Everything is freshly baked and a good portion. Even the sandwiches and salads in the packaged food case look really good. I've had the custard cream bun, hotdog garlic roll, & a egg, ham & hash brown roll (wasn't a huge fan, the hash brown doesn't stay crispy). I've tried the Portuguese egg tart (Pastel de Nata) & that wasn't so great - reminded me of the egg tarts from Aldi, sweet bland filler custard. The staff can heat the pastries up for you, but it might take at least two rounds for larger items. Highly recommend the round fried rice flour/mochi doughnut, soboro bao (the peanut butter crust-topped bun) & if they have, a coffee/mocha shell-topped bao. You can't go wrong with a Korean chiffon cake slice - not too sweet, and light as air buttercream. Not sure if the strawberry cake is based off of Japanese strawberry (birthday) cake. I've never had their drinks, so don't have a review about them. I don't get the impression that the drinks are the strength of the café. Paris Baguette is a chain from Korea. I think their cafés in Korea are a lot bigger and very nice/comfortable, the US version is a more minimal and quick service kind of set up. For $4 -15 you can get a decent pastry, sandwich, or salad which is a great option for the area, LaGuardia Community College students & hotel guests nearby.

I get that rent in the city is not cheap, but this shop doesn't offer anything else besides the food. There's only 2 seats by the window, and even then, it's very cramped seating, so it's not really like you could sit down to enjoy the food/ambiance. I think I would be more ok with the priciness if it tasted spectacular or the portions were big, but the cheesecake was neither. I got the $29 cheesecake platter so I could try 4 flavors at once. Having just tried Lamoone not too long ago, which also offers basque cheesecakes with Asian flavors and SAMPLES, I think Ando is just ok when it comes to the cheesecakes. Yuzu and original were the superior flavors while matcha and oolong were alright. I'm not tempted to go back again for them like I am for Lamoone, though. The slices of cheesecake that were included in the platter were half the size of a regular slice of cheesecake from say, The Cheesecake Factory, so $29/4=$7.25 for a tiny slice is kind of absurd. I got to try their jasmine pana cotta, and that was unexpectedly really good. The jasmine flavor really came through and the texture of the pana cotta was perfect. There was only one person working in the front and at least one person in the back when I went with my friend, who also ordered the same thing as me and a drink. And only one other customer bought something from here while we were here. Yet, it took about 15 minutes for our desserts to be ready.
