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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
