Kora's pastries have always been consistently good. But this review is about their customer…read moreservice, which was beyond what I expected. I came in with my toddler daughter for a day date. Anyone with kids know with a young child, things can get dicey. You won't know at any moments time when you need to stop, drop, and roll. My girl was pretty calm and great the whole time, didn't expect anything less, but as usual, Kora was CROWDED. I felt hopeless about getting a table and I cannot compete with the adults with no kids, but I decided to take a chance. I got 2 pastries and a drink to sit and enjoy. After I paid, I look behind me, and of course, no seats. But then the employee who was also the door person/greeter, saw my distress, heard my concern, and then helped me get a table outside. I expressed my concern that I wouldn't be able to hear my name for my drink, and I cannot leave my daughter outside. She insisted that she would service my table. The employee got me my drink, napkins, utensils, and told me if I needed anything else, just ask her. It's the service like this that makes me feel not limited whenever I want to go to Kora, and I am very inclined to go back when I am solo parenting.

I wouldn't recommend their matcha as it's pretty watered down, but their coffee is solid! There's a lot of seating inside and it's a pretty open space if you want to just chill. I'm giving this 3/5 stars solely because we did not have a good customer experience this time around. I didn't get their name, but the person helping us out with grabbing our pastries was pretty rude and not very helpful. We ordered two chocolate chip cookies to go and asked of we can have them in separate bags since my friend and I don't live together and we were taking them to go. He responds with "you know it's easier to carry in just one box right?" to which we explained our situation. He finally grabs two separate bags, puts the cookies in, then says "here's your two bags, enjoy" in a rude tone while giving us a smug look. My other friend came and asked for a to-go box since she ordered 3 pastries and definitely wasn't going to finish them all in one sitting. He refused to give her a to go box since he said "she's eating for here" when she clearly told him that she won't be finishing all in store and will be taking most of it to-go. After we finished dining in, she had to get back in line just to ask for a to go box since he wouldn't give her one originally. Overall, would come back for any seasonal pastries they may have, but hesitant because of the unpleasant service we received.

I got the pandan coconut cake from here. We walked around few bakeries and came back. My mom…read morereally enjoyed this cake and said it wasn't sweet. She would have given it 5/5 but for me it was alright. I had better pandan cake and it felt like they used too much of the concentrate instead of fresh pandan leaves. You can taste the artificial pandan which I don't like. I would given it 3/5. Overall the presentation of the cakes is what drew me to come back. I would like to try the fruit cake next time.

Didn't stop there because I have no self-control: Berry marble cheesecake -- straight-up irresistible. Mille-feuille (Napoleon) -- aka "a thousand layers of don't ask questions." Flaky, buttery, rich... this was the victory lap dessert. Coffee? Top tier. Staff? Attentive, locked in, took care of business. Came for donuts. Left emotionally satisfied. Real men eat dessert.

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...

TLDR - good service, but iffy about the food (maybe we came too late)…read more.. $7 - mini flans (ube, coconut pandan, mango, thai tea) $10 - "bigger" flan (ube only) $30 - 7 inch flan cake (ube only) $50 - 9 inch flan cake (pre-order only) $12 - halo halo $5 - various iced drinks, boba, lattes $3 - madelines (for 3 pcs) The drinks were a little too sweet for my liking (we got the lemonade). They are famous for their flan cake mix. The ones in the cooler were just alright. The flan was more of a custard texture (away from jiggly jello) which was good. However, the bottom cake layers had subtle flavors and were a bit stale. The flan tastes better when its fresh and not refrigerated though. Compared to other customer's pictures, I think the issue was that there was not much caramel sauce on the plate. there was not much liquid on the bottom of the plate so the cakes did not look moist for most of our flans. The halo halo was a bit small in size for $12 (jar is similar to a overnight oats serving size). ive seen other places price it at $8-10 for that size. Overall, it was a miss for me for my first time. Service was nice though. they did let us stay 20 mins past closing.

Very clean, I've never had a bad item as I've heard has happened at other places. Definitely worth taking exit 19 (69th St) off the L.I.E. to come try their great selection.

It's colossally big and very, very easy to chew on without needing something hot and wet like coffee or tea. But I do think it would be better with a drink. What I've also noticed is that they really prioritize the decorations on the donuts, and I think that also brings out their peak service. I was served during the Governors Ball where there were a lot of people and a lot of vendors. They handled their service very well. I couldn't tell you the exact location of the place because it was a vendor, but I assume it's probably somewhere I would conveniently go to. I definitely wanna go to the Brooklyn location.

DO NOT GET THE CUPCAKES, it taste like the supermarket cupcakes from stop and shop, walmart, or shop rite. It tastes like hint of cleaning supply, fake sweetness gritty textured icing. Try the cannoli, though the casing doesnt look like it's homemade. Apparently their filling is and they fill it per order which helps retain the crunch of the casing.
