FOOD:the menu at the time we went was sparse, but held breakfast and lunch items. I had the vegan chicken on a brioche with red cabbage, tomato soup atopped with pumpkin seeds. Both were delivered hot. Very tasty. AMBIENCE: quiet chatter with parishioners reading, writing and eating. Spacious with small tables and booths. There was music, but barely heard. WAIT STAFF: pleasant, efficient. BATHROOM: one. large enough for a small wheelchair. clean. One issue we encountered: a dog was allowed in the restaurant. Handicapped accessible.

This place is amazing!!! Finding a place that has vegan croissants is a more than a treat. We ordered the breakfast sandwiches on croissants and they were delicious! The cafe itself is super cute! The service was friendly and prompt. Traditional eaters wouldn't know they were eating vegan! The selection of baked treats is plentiful! This is a must! read more

I read about Le Petit Monstre having guava cream cheese pastries and was so eager to get one of those! They didn't have any when I went, but they did have a guava croissant! The guava filling (jam?) was yummy and the croissant was nice & flakey! The scone was very sweet and had good texture too. Both totally good vegan pastries, nothing extraordinary, but totally good options! I'd recommend this place for anyone wanting to try vegan pastries. I saw they had a food menu online, but didn't see one in the shop. Not sure if they still offer meal style food or not! read more

As a vegetarian, I highly recommend this spot truly one of the best vegan bakeries in the city (if not the best). This is the kind of place even omnivores will fall in love with. The baked goods are on another level. We tried a mix of sweet pastries, coffee, and their sausage-egg-and-cheese croissants, and everything was heavenly. The SEC croissant with their house-made garlic confit aioli? Absolutely divine. The space is surprisingly large, the vibe is warm, and the staff couldn't have been kinder. I'll definitely be back this place is a gem. read more

This is such a cute and cozy spot!! I had a vanilla latte and a savory palmier and it was delicious. I love that this bakery is completely vegan. The pastry was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The best combination! My friend had the sausage croissant and said it was delicious. There were a lot of people working on their laptops. It was a really comfortable space. I am def coming back! read more

SERVICE - located in Navy Yard in Brooklyn underneath the freeway overpass - spacious interior with wooden decor and plants - tables for solo diners, small groups, and large groups - free WiFi available - good spot for working - ambiance good for a relaxed morning MENU - pastries, donuts, and cafe drinks - all vegan/vegetarian - gluten free options available - average price ($5 per pastry) FOOD - banana chocolate loaf (7/10): gluten free banana bread studded with chocolate chips. This was one of four gluten free options. For a gluten free baked good which tends to be dry and crumbly, this was relatively moist. The slice is massive but not super dense. I would have liked more chocolate chips and/or chopped walnuts which also would have added more creaminess and balance the texture of the loaf. - pistachio pain suisse (5/10): pastry filled with pistachio cream. This was my least favorite of the items we ordered. Part of it may have been the vibrant green pistachio spread which looked like it was going to be strong but tasted like plain cream cheese. - blueberry escargot (8/10): pastry swirled with fresh blueberries. This was a great fruity pastry that is not too sweet yet still has a buttery glaze and tart blueberries for textural and flavor contrast. - sausage cheese croissant (6/10): croissant filled with field roast vegan sausage patty and cheese. This was the only savory pastry we got. I liked the croissant part as it was flaky and light. The amount of sausage and cheese was so little it was hard to get a good taste of it in every bite. I also would have liked it to be warmed so that the cheese was melty. - pain au chocolat (9/10): pastry filled with dark chocolate. This was phenomenal. The combination of buttery pastry with rich dark chocolate was perfect. The only thing that would set this over the top would be having it warmed just enough to get th chocolate melted. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! Loved the ambiance and the selection of vegan pastries read more

The place is huge and has a large variety of pastries. The pastries were decent enough and they're all vegan, had to double check that with the servers. We got the breakfast sandwiches and they weren't anything special but we were hungry. Pastries were decent. The server was a bit standoff and hostile. They ignored us as we were trying to get their attention and it wasn't like they were busy. read more

Been here many times and it is my absolute go to for vegan pastries! My absolute favorite are the almond croissant, any of the savory pinwheels, and the savory danishes (especially the lobster roll one!!!! To die for). Their croissant sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich is also great. You must go if you have a love for vegan pastries!

This is a plant-based cafe serving crafted drinks and sweet and savory bites. I ordered the coconut donut and the plain croissant. Out of the two pastries selected, personally, the coconut donut was the best. The coconut flakes weren't super crunchy and overpowering to consume. Essentially, it blended just well with the donut itself. It was nice to see that they still had pastries available around 3pm. I would definitely recommend visiting them in the early AM to get first dibs on fresh, bakery goods. read more

Amazing bakery and cafe. My running group came here after a run and the staff was incredibly accommodating of our large group and opened early for us (we let them know in advance). They were so friendly and welcoming and patient with us, especially making so many espresso drinks in addition to serving pastries. The interior is quite large with plenty of room to sit and enjoy, and the pastries are beautiful and delicious. read more

As someone with a dairy intolerance, I am always on the lookout for dairy-free (usually vegan) treats. I decided to visit Le Petit Monstre during a recent trip to New York, and I was pretty disappointed with it. First of all, the staff was just not super friendly, I felt like I was burdening them by ordering food. Secondly, and probably most importantly, the pastries were just not good. Secondly, I had three different pastries, including a cream puff like pastry that was recommended, as well as a regular croissant and a donut, and everything was super dry and somewhat tasteless. I've had quite a few vegan pastries from different bakeries (as well as a ton of vegan donuts), and the pastries from here ranked near the bottom of all of them. I was super surprised by this, as all the reviews on Yelp are glowing, but all three pastries had the same qualities: dry and lacking a lot of flavor. The seating area is ok; comfortable enough, and they do have good restrooms. read more

I'm visiting from out of town and this was my first stop. I am INSANELY jealous of this place. the sausage egg and cheese is next level. the donut dipped in the coffee is perfection. the chocolate donut was a little sweet for a breakfast pastry but still yummy. and the music and energy is exactly what I want in a coffeeshop. I envy everyone who can frequent this place. read more

Love coming to this place, although I wish it was a closer walk from the G (15 mins). They have so many pastry choices your mind would be blown. Before I was a vegan I used to love eating guava cheese rolls from Porto's and I really never thought I'd find a replacement for them, but as luck would have it they make them here and it's a dream. I've had their regular food too, chorizo potato tacos, and enjoyed this as well. I go a too good to go order from them also, so I was able to try a ton of their pastries. Pretty much anything they make that's flaky is delicious (which is like 80% of what they make, but totally good). The cinnamon roll and glazed donut we're also really good. It's very spacious inside but not too overloaded with seating, there's room to breathe. There are several tables and a couch/chair/coffee table seating area too. Honestly, you can't go wrong here. read more

I've had several items from here, both croissant with faux meat and without, and several extremely creatively flavored donuts. The cronut was the best I've ever had with it's mini marshmallow on top. I've sat around on some lazy afternoons in their cafe too, it's pretty nice. Honestly, I'd eat every single thing in the pastry case if I could. epic read more

Such a cute little bakery with a TON of different pastries, definitely something here for everyone for sure

So so good! I'm such a sucker for pastries and although a lot of bakeries are offering vegan options now, it's hard to come across vegan croissants. I was so excited to try it, and it did not disappoint!! The croissants texture was amazing, I won't lie and say it's as good as the best non vegan croissant out there, but it's very solid, and you wouldn't even tell it's vegan. There's also a day old basket that's selling old pastries for $2, we got their scones and they were delicious! There's bathrooms and a good amount of seating too, definitely worth a try! read more

Never had a pastry here that wasn't perfect and after seeing some of the absolute beauties these artisans create we knew we needed a Le Petit Monstre cake for our wedding.

Couldn't have asked for a more lovely centerpiece, couldn't have asked for a better bite- it really was the heart and soul of our ceremony. Go to Le Petit Monstre!

Tasty pastries in a comfortable setting. My pecan sticky bun was awesome. Looking forward to a return trip.

So incredibly slow on weekend mornings. It can easily take them 20 minutes to serve one party. If there's a line just leave

Tomato soup and croissant was Excellent! The service was terrible. The counter girl handed us cold soup and forgot our coffee order 3 times. More than half of the tables were dirty. The two girls working were sitting behind the counter gabbing. Good food/bad service. read more

Le Petit Monstre is a VEGAN patisserie, filled to the brim with the most amazing, magical baked goods, zen plants, and plant based milk lattes. Bakeries like this are what make Brooklyn fabulous. They're cozy, so so so good at what they do, and just a great place for the neighborhood to come and be. I had the monkey bread, which had this delightful dollop of cream. Dig in, to discover that it's filled with raisins, chocolate chips, and pecans too! The oat milk latte was excellent. There is WiFi. Not a ton of tables but the place was pretty quiet for a Friday morning. I don't know how they bake so many amazing treats with such great quality without butter, but it is absolutely worth a trip. Pastries are LARGE. Prices are hipster Brooklyn, but I think worth it for the quality. read more

Le Petit Monstre - Day old pastry bin - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wow. Just wow. Came here with friends and was BLOWN away! AESTHETIC: 10/10 Cute, spacious, and bright restaurant with tons of space. Great spot to work, but I'm not 100% sure if they have a bunch of plugs and wifi but assuming they do because tons of people were om their laptops here. There's also some outside seating and it isn't on a super busy street so overall a calm, vibey spot to enjoy standout vegan baked goods. SERVICE: 10/10 The team here is beyond helpful. It was my first time and I wanted to try it all so the person helping me was so great in terms of helping me decide what to choose and sharing their tips. Everyone here genuinely seemed happy to work here which tells me that management tresats their people well. Love to see it. FOOD: 10/10 Best vegan baked goods in NYC, now that Terms of Endearment (sister business) closed. Note, I'm vegan and not gluten free. My expectations for vegan food are just as high as when I wasn't vegan since I'm a foodie thought and thorough. I have no time for sub-par baked goods, especially given the sugar, fat, and carb content. My baked goods need to be worth it or I'm not going to recommend it! Got a sausage egg, & cheese breakfast croissant which was *chef's kiss* These are hard to get wrong but I really loved the croissant! Also tried the almond croissant which I adored. It reminded me exactly of the almond croissants I used to love before going vegan which I love because these are extremely hard to come by as a vegan! I also got a rolled pastry that was similar to a cinnamon role but with no posting and nuts. WOW this was shockingly good and transported me to childhood because it tasted similar to my Mom's wine cake I used to love. FINAL VERDICT: 11/10 If you're a vegan visiting NYC, this needs to be in your top 3 must-eats! If you're traveling with non-vegans I genuinely don't think they will notice a difference between these and non-vegan baked goods. read more

An amazing place, so good. The breakfast tacos make for a perfect breakfast, they serve them with a few potatoes and a very tasty sauce. Highly recommended for everyone, vegans especially read more

This spot has potential but there are no options that are soy-free and gluten-free. Having that option would be much appreciated.

Preposterously good. Looks great, and somehow tastes even better. Savory game on point, sweet game on point, and nothing makes you feel like hell after--believe me, I've pigged out and tried. If I could make one complaint at all, it's that the seating feels like somewhat of an afterthought. But the food itself, I can't possibly complain on. I dare you to get something 'bad' here, or even disappointing. The sign of proficiency is that it is harder for you to perform poorly than it is for you to perform well. I don't think they could make something not tasty here if they tried. read more

Love this cute vegan pastry shop! Came by with a friend from Manhattan & although it was out of our way (pretty much the only reason we came into Brooklyn), it was so worth it! They have a ton of assortments from savory to sweet options. I got the almond whiskey & pistachio croissant. Tried the pistachio one while there and it tastes AMAZING. It's a very very good croissant, not too sweet and the filling was remarkable. The pistachio flavor is super faint, so don't expect it to be strong/overpowering...but the croissant is filled with a jam like consistency of heaven and truly tastes awesome. Paula (I'm pretty sure that's her name), was super super sweet & helpful as well! All around, worth the trip & trying their food! (Also, side note. At time of Sep 7, they did not ask to see a vaccination card. I didn't mind, but just a heads up to others who would like to know.) read more

This all-vegan French bakery is a vegan's dream come true in NYC! TONS of vegan pastry options such as croissants (sweet & savory), brownies, blondies, donuts, cookies. They also have a brunch menu which I have not tried. Of course they have to serve coffee, to pair with all that sweetness! The ambience of this store is perfect- there is a cute little "grocery section" and the whole store has that refurbished industrial Brooklyn feel. Super cute. There is indoor and outdoor seating currently during COVID-19. In terms of the actual pastries- they are quite yummy. The best one was the "sausage & cheese" croissant- the savory flavors went really well with the croissant, which was nice & flaky! The pistachio croissant was not that flaky and a little chewy on the inside. I had to tug a little to pull it apart. However, the pistachio cream was amazing and I wish it had more filling! The almond whiskey croissant has amazing flavor, however whatever the filling is makes the whole pastry soggy and the croissant is really flat and not flakey/crispy. But as mentioned, the flavor itself is good enough that I got it twice. I do wish there was a way to make it actually crispy! The donut was average- not as light and fluffy and a little bready. I really loved the peanut butter & jelly blondie!! I love ANYTHING peanut butter & jelly and this hit the spot. I will say the location is not convenient at all in terms of public transportation. If you take a subway to the nearest train you still have to walk pretty far/ take a bus/ take a cab. So plan your trip accordingly! Overall- yes I would return to get a croissant/pastry fix, if I feel like I am up for the commute! read more

This is my first time having a vegan croissant, and for what it is, I thought it was pretty impressive! And I LOVE croissants in general. The texture of the interior was nice; it definitely had layers. The ends are really dry, but the flakiness isn't bad. The biggest gripe I had about it was that the oil used tasted funky to me, I know it's not butter and the taste can't approximate butter, but I guess I was hoping for something less like...shortening tasting? I'm not sure. It was a bit off but the texture was impressive. However, the pistachio croissant was AMAZING. The filling completely masked the off-taste of the oil and it was super delicious. It really felt like a nonvegan croissant. The peanut butter cruffin was a mix between the two, taste-wise. The exterior is mostly just bread, essentially the dough of the regular croissant, and there's a small bit of peanut filling on the inside. So, I liked the interior part of it, but wasn't a fan of the bread part as the oil is iffy-tasting to me. But the texture, I have to emphasize, is good for a vegan pastry. Lastly we had the avocado toast. This was a real winner; the sourdough is SOAKED in oil and toasted, which is delicious, and it has a very generous amount of avocado on top with pepitas for extra crunch. Loved it. Pistachio croissant: 5/5 Avocado toast: 5/5 Peanut cruffin: 3.5/5 Croissant: 3.5/5 read more

Hands down one of the best vegan pastry shop in Brooklyn!! My friend and I made the trek out from the city just to visit this bakery and it did not disappoint. If no one told me these pastries were vegan, I would have never known! We ordered the tiramisu croissant, hazelnut croissant, and cruffin, but the girl at the cash register (shout out to Yemen) was so kind she gave us a cronut and cookie to try too after we had mentioned that we came from the city! All the pastries were phenomenal but my personal favorite was the tiramisu croissant. You can bet we will be back again soon read more

Great vegan bakery / plant shop addition to the neighborhood. I was craving salty and pastriess I ordered: - the spinach/artichoke palmier (this one was my favorite, 5/5!) - the red pepper savory danish (4/5) - the sweet potato galette (4/5) - the jalapeño vegan sausage croissant (3/5) - and my friend got the key lime poppyseed donut (3.5/5) All of the pastries were so fresh and the space is really cute. I'll definitely be coming back for more of those palmiers and perhaps to try a tart or two. read more

Was super excited to try this place because there aren't vegan pastry options where I'm from! Cashier was nice, but the pastries were just okay. I got a guava and cheese pastry that had little to no guava and cheese. For a pastry that costs almost 7 dollars, I expected it to be a lot more filled, so I was disappointed. The almond whisky croissant was better, but tasted like it was a little overcooked. They were much better once I warmed them up at home. read more
