Cutest little vegan bakery/coffee shop in Brooklyn - everything is plant based and delicious. I've tried multiple pastries both savory and sweet and they're all incredibly well done. There's also plenty of space inside as well as wifi so it's a great spot to work/read!
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!
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
This place is amazing! They have the BEST vegan pastries in Brooklyn and always delivery fresh baked goods. I order a bunch of dishes for coworkers who are not vegan and they really love them. Highly recommend!
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! Hot tip: if you live in Williamsburg, the Le Labo cafe sells pasties from here, perfect for when I can't make the trek down to the Navy Yards!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
One of the best vegan bakeries in NYC, they have sweet and savory options, the breakfast tacos and bec sandwich are very flavorful and filling, the sweets speaks for themselves taste as good as they look, monkey bread and pistachio croissant are my favs right now service always great and space is perfect for wfh or afternoon coffee break
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!

Love that you can also buy plants here- Two of my favorite shops combined in one! Cute vegan bakery with plenty of sweet and savory options, plus a small drink menu. The person at the counter was very helpful in giving us suggestions on what to order. I got a matcha latte and a sausage and cheese croissant. The croissant has a sausage link surrounded by cheese in the center. Flaky and delicious! Would be slightly better if it was heated up, but still great all the same. Came out to $11 total. read more

French pastry without butter?! I didn't think it was possible, but le petit monstre manages exceptionally well. We tried the berry escargot, spinach and artichoke danish, and a croissant. The croissant was alright, but I think this is where the vegan aspect sets the baking back, but our filled pastries were 10/10 read more

Best vegan pastries in NYC and only second to Providence RI on east coast imo! Hard to find the flakier pastries done well like kouign amann, croissants and danishes. Coffee was great too with pistachio milk option. read more

This is why I moved to NYC -- to have access to this type of place, literally the best pastries and desserts I've had in my life. I came on a Friday to try it out and Saturday came back and dropped another $30 on a bag FULL of incredible goodies. Oh my god. This place is incredible. My favorites of what I've tried are the savory danishes, blueberry and raspberry cronuts, brownie, and chocolate chip cookie. I didn't dislike anything, though the cheddar biscuit was slightly spicier than expected. Fully pausing my 401k contributions and funnelling it directly to this pastry shop instead. read more

Okay I'm a little blown away by this place!!! At first I was unsure because all the croissants I've tried that are vegan in the USA have not made me impressed. Until I tried this cute new little bakery! I bought four items and I ate them all without taking pics because I was so hungry and excited to try! This croissant blew me away and even better than the almond version. I kept Questioning myself if this was vegan or not.. in fact it is and the plain croissant is great for savory snacks too! I even got the Millie Feuille which was out of this world flakey and perfect balance of cream too! I can't wait to come back and try the fruit tarts and other menu items later today! read more

Absolutely delicious . Most of the things I got from here I had the non vegan option and there was no difference . The bread on my sandwhich could have been toasted but other than that delicious . The donut almost made me cry .. the palmier was so crunchy and butter . I LOVED the Pain au Chocolate . All vegan and so tasty . You have to try this place out . They are on grub hub which is where I ordered . So I can't comment on decor but from the pictures it looks beautiful . I will check it out again soon . read more
Where are my vegans at? This place has vegan pastries and to my surprise they're not bad. I enjoyed them although the chocolate croissant had barely any chocolate. My favorite was the raisin bread dessert. The cronuts were pretty good too! I also liked the setup. It's a nice, quaint cafe in BK. They have produce and plants for sale also. read more
Where do I begin? So happy they opened up. We needed vegan bakery options in the neighborhood. Lovely space. The display case is magical. It's the kind that makes you want to order everything and I almost did. Go there now, support local business, you won't regret it. Now, I've been here twice and 2 things I would suggest changing: The gluten free mixed berry muffin is too sour and slightly bitter for my taste. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be, but I would prefer something sweeter. The breakfast sandwich was DELICIOUS, but it could have used some sauce. Ketchup? Hollandaise? Hot sauce? It would have helped but it was still great and I would order again without hesitation. The donuts can cure depression. They're so soft and indulgent! They do sell some plants and grocery items like fruits and veggies. read more

Unbelievable pastries! I am NOT vegan, though I am trying to make more sustainable decisions--e.g., if I can do vegan 1 day a week, that's a 14% improvement. Pistachio croissant is delicious and monstrous in size. I'm fairly astonished that they can generate something so light and fluffy without butter or eggs. It stands up vs. any non-vegan croissant. Giant pop tart was great as well. Our son devoured the cinnamon roll. All of these were as good or better than most "traditional " pastries. I was less a fan of the "sausage and cheese" pastry, as I think that's harder to replicate. Still, great spot! read more

Thanks for the burnt cronut (with a stale Oreo) and poor service. Their website lists food options for lunch but I had to go somewhere else because they only serve food during certain times. read more

The Little monsters more like little piece of France hidden away in fort green. My dream of tasting delicious French patisserie in vegan form really came true and it was pure pleasure. Everything is pure decadence it's indulgent and the calories doesn't count. Try anything flakey whether it's a croissant, a kouign amann or a palmier. It's super fresh flakey and delicious. My personal favorite is the kouign amann it's perfection! The layers of deliciously flakey pastry and sweetness to perfection, every layer is baked to perfection and the middle is soft and buttery. Guava cronut was another favorite of mine, sweet and tart with flakey perfection, Pistachio croissant and sweet palmier also deserve mentioning. I do have to warn you It is an addicting you won't stop visiting this place and did I mention the calories doesn't count. So please go support this little gem in vegan nyc scene I hope it stays with us forever. I can't wait to see what more to come may I suggest Afternoon tea!! read more
A new all vegan French bakery has come to Brooklyn and it's got a great variety of baked goods! Although the donuts looked tempting, I went with a unique French item. The Kouign Amman is a traditional French baked item with layers of crepe like dough and sugar using vegan butter. Costs a little over $5. Initially I just thought eh basic bread... but my god it was so good I could not stop eating it! So much for saving half for breakfast the next day. So buttery and flakey with just the right amount of sweetness. The cafe has plants for sale and some other vegan friendly items. The menu includes cakes, danishes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, cupcakes, fruit tarts, soup, salad, and coffee. I'm sure these items rotate, but regardless plenty to try! There is a restroom available. Hopefully someday indoor seating will open up. For now it's just take out and no outdoor seating. read more

Incredible vegan pastries! We ordered fruit tarts, savory danishes, donuts, quiche, palmier, and kouign amann and everything was amazing! Fresh, beautifully crafted, rich while simultaneously light, and super tasty. We had an issue with the website and delivery but Tiffany provided excellent customer service and we are very satisfied with the way she handled everything. Please give this amazing vegan bakery a try, you won't regret it! read more

This place is quite a trek from the subway, but it is really worth it. I really enjoyed everything I had from here, but the stars I think are the fruit tarts and cruffins. I don't think I've had a better vegan fruit tart. I also love their variety, and that they have almost every permutation of the croissant you could imagine. I think the pistachio croissant could have used with just a bit more pistachio paste, but everything else was fantastic otherwise! read more

I feel like this might be the best vegan bakery in the city. I don't even know what to recommend I just like pretty much everything I've had especially the cronuts. They have a big variety of sweet & savory pastries, also a fridge & kitchen for like burgers & stuff but I haven't tried that I don't think. read more
Such an underrated place! A bakery and cafe with unique, delicious offerings! The croissants and massive and so airy and fluffy, and the muffins are delightfully dense and flavorful. We went when the kitchen wasn't open, so we only tried the baked goods, but everything was still phenomenal! The day olds are also a steal ($1.50 ea!), so come early if you can! read more

Hands down the best pastries we have ever had. The fact that they are vegan is way more impressive. I wish we could buy something from here daily. I thought the prices were reasonable and the pastries exceeded expectations. If we have time for a second visit to Brooklyn then we will make sure LPM is our first stop! read more
