The rose pistachio croissant had so many layers and was super flaky, with lots of pistachio filling and the perfect hint of rose flavor. It was super delicious and a great blend of flavors. The ambiance and service were average and the croissant itself was $8.50 so even though the croissant was really good, I don't know if I would go back. read more

Best croissant I ever had and possibly best cookie, the date and toffee. Iced coffee was reasonably good too. I stopped by late afternoon on the weekend. I wasn't a fan of the ambience or the service but they definitely have incredible baked goods. read more

Wow!! The tomato corn danish will live rent-free in my mind for a loooong time. Idk why I got a mocha - I never do that & probably wouldn't do that again here haha, but would try a latte or something. Excited to come back and try more things read more

Amazing bakery. Pretty pricey, but worth it. Chocolate marzipan had a texture I can't quite place, but I would return just for it. Halvah was delicious. Bread pudding was amazing too. Babka was great. The best thing about the chai sticky bun was the icing - bun itself was tasty but didn't blow my mind like the other pastries did. It gets pretty busy here but the line moves quickly. Give it a try for sure. read more

While a bit packed (and the line was out the door) Librae was worth the hype, and our coffees and pastries were marvelous! Service was quick and easy, and there was more space inside than other conventional bakeries/cafes. Highly recommend to visit, their pistachio croissant had me knees wobbling read more

They have a lot of innovative pastries and I tried their regular croissant, famous rose pistachio croissant, deli scone, espresso chocolate croissant and tahini chocolate cookie. I found all of them to have more butter than average and as a result, very heavy. Service is quick and they have tables for people to enjoy their drinks and pastries. It's a casual atmosphere. I will go back to try their babka one day but otherwise, too heavy in general. read more

What wasn't perfect about the place except it needed more seating ! Been wanting to check this place out and a very good friend was in town so we both hit the spot and give it our critique (my friend was already here many times and their Bahrain locations so was just there for support) I really wanted to buy one of everything because it looked too damn good. The bakery could be seen in the back diligently at work and overall the vibe and service was top level. As you can see i bought whatever I can eat for today and I can't say that anyone of them was meh. They all had flavor, flakiness, soft goodness, flavors popping and subtle undertones you can pick up on if you have an idea of Middle Eastern flavors . It earned all 5 stars, service , ambiance, and of course the food earned it all and my compliments to the pastry chef and her team. They made it all happen ! No brainer, just go here read more

I'm on the hunt to find the best tuna sandwich in NYC! Librae came up at the top of the list. Their tuna sandwich is olive oil based instead of mayo based. The sandwich was very filling. The scone was delicious too. I'd come back to try other yummy treats. read more

Delicious Loomi Babka! I came here right when they opened on a Monday morning and there was no one there but the pastries were nice and fresh. I highly recommend the Loomi Babka. I loved the lemon flavoring in it and it was a great way to start my morning. I would absolutely return to try their Pistachio Rose Croissant! Service was quick as I was the only one there and I sat inside to eat. They have a few tables available to enjoy your pastries! read more

Librae Bakery - Loomi Babka - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Ambiance (5/5): There are some seats outdoors and indoors. Laptops are not allowed inside, which makes sense to allow occupation by dining patrons! It was cool being able to see into the kitchen where the baking was taking place. There's the public park with benches across the restaurant where you can eat outside. Service (5/5): It's a well oiled machine to get you in and out. I asked for a recommendation and the person who helped me provided some good feedback. Halva Croissant (4/5) $8.50: Available only on the weekends! It is indeed a hefty one with some chocolate and halva melted on the inside. The outside of the top part was almost too crunchy but it was good on the inside. Rich, oily, but I very much enjoyed it in two sittings, or perhaps one if shared with someone. Loomi Babka (1/5): While beautifully folded to create a lovely bun, there was almost no taste to it. The bread was soft but I only took 2 bite before I chucked the rest and wasted $7. read more

Love the middle eastern flavors here! Would return for the morning bun alone, which was phenomenal (bottom was so crispy and absolutely soaked in that brown butter goodness). Focaccia was good but not 12-dollars-a-slice good. Their chocolate chip cookies also looked great, would try next time. read more

Librae is a really cozy high-end coffee shop and bakery. When I was there, it was super packed, but well worth the wait. The coffee was pretty solid. It needed a little sweetener for my taste, but it was a nice quality latte. The baked goods were the star of the show, though. Every item I tried was incredible. Particularly the banana pastry. Probably one of the most delicious pasties I've ever had. Definitely worth going out of your way to come to Librae. You won't be disappointed. read more

We came to try their croissant pastries. We definitely liked them. The coffee was okay. They have a few small tables to sit and enjoy your coffee. The baristas move the line fairly smoothly. We got our order very quickly and headed out. read more

A fancy bakery with delicious pastries, but on the pricey side--small space and quite crowded! I came across this bakery on an Instagram reel and was excited to give it a try on a Sunday morning. As you can see from my photos, there was a line outside. We slowly made our way in and eventually reached the counter. The ordering process was straightforward--you select your pastries, they bag them, you pay for everything (including coffee and sandwiches) at the counter, and then wait for your coffee and sandwich to be prepared. The downside? There was no seating, and the place was packed. We waited quite a while for the sandwich--long enough that we had nearly finished our coffee and eaten half of our pastries before it even arrived, making us wonder if ordering the sandwich was the right call. That said, the cappuccino and pistachio-rose croissant were tasty, though I did notice a slight eggy smell in the croissant. The highlight for me was the roasted beet sandwich--it was flavorful and well-made. The coffee was decent, nothing exceptional. Overall, this place is worth trying, but given the wait times and limited space, I'm not sure if I'd return. read more

It's a real pleasure to come into this bakery and appreciate the aroma of incredible bread and pastries. I really appreciate that there's a choice of both sweet and savory selections, I prefer the savory and while they are a minority of choices, there are enough of them. We've enjoyed breakfast here and have had the chickpea sandwich. The bread is delicious and the chickpeas, feta, arugula and egg make for a very satisfying experience. The coffee is also quite good. It's not amazing, but it's very good. Certainly better than you'll find in most bakeries that are not primarily coffee shops. I've had many of their pastries including the Rose Pistachio croissant, Za'atar Labneh bun, Feta dill scone, and Loomi Babka bun. They are all excellent. The service is wonderful. The lines can become very long and so if you go late morning especially on the weekend, expect a wait. The people helping you are great. Once you get to speak with them they are totally customer oriented and friendly. This isn't easy after speaking with several hundred New Yorkers who have been waited in line for a while. The ambience is OK. The outside tables aren't great, the inside tables aren't plentiful. You get to see where the food is made in back, that's nice. The place is immaculately clean. I spoke with Chris the GM and we discussed the potential for them to serve French Toast. Their breads are amazing and so that dish would be a total winner. He agreed, but they need to convince the chefs. Holding my breath.... read more

There was a line on a Thursday morning around 8:30am but moved fairly quickly. We shared a pistachio rose croissant and focaccia (the one with an egg in it). Pistachio rose croissant was pretty good! Pretty flaky and lots of different textures. Focaccia was ok for me, I think it would've been a lot better if it were warmed up. Overall not bad and I'd come again to try other pastries like the dirty chai morning bun and their sandwiches! read more

Long line on a Saturday morning but moved relatively quickly! Tried their pistachio rose croissant, tahini chocolate chip cookie, and sticky bun. Paired with tahini date coffee. the pistachio rose croissant was my favorite and the only one I would come back to get again! will have to come to try their babka! could not really taste the tahini in the cookie or coffee but both were very yum. staff was super nice and friendly! took the time to explain the baked goods and did not make us feel rushed despite the long line. read more

Visited around the end of the day, and the bakery was still very crowded with most items having sold out. There was just one Rose Pistachio Croissant left, and i made sure to order it before anyone else could. The croissant was very good. I tasted a lot more of the pistachio than the rose. It was also very, very flaky. Right before I left, the restaurant brought out a fresh batch of delicious chocolate cookies. read more

Another bakery that comes highly recommended when asking around, so it was quickly added to my list. It's a cute little shop with indoor seating, outlets to charge your phone, AND WATER! This was one of the few places I visited that had free water cups for paying customers. That seems like a taboo option these days in ny. The case had ample options from both laminated to non laminated options. I went with a pistachio croissant and the sticky toffee date oat cookie situation. The croissant was maybe 3.5 stars. Nothing super remarkable but a decent croissant nonetheless. For me the showing the star was that damn cookie. The perfect texture, chewy, well seasoned, good balance. I mean my god was it a home run. I saved it and ate it when I arrived back at the airport and regret doing so because k couldn't get another one. I was absolutely go back here to first and foremost get more sticky little cookies but also to try some of the other offerings. Highly recommend a stop in if you have time. And when I arrived while still early there was no line!! read more

The rose pistachio croissant here was so good! Some places have good pistachio filling but the croissant is a little lackluster, or vice versa. However, this place was perfect. The croissant itself was crispy and flaky and with so many good layers and the pistachio filling was nutty and dense and so good. The crispy part on the top was probably my favorite part. I would definitely recommend! read more

I was so excited to try this place. When I got there I was stunned there was no line but also stunned that they barely had any bakery items to buy. I asked if any croissants were coming out soon and luckily the nice gentleman said in 15 mins the rose pistachio croissants batch was coming out. I asked if I could pay for one now and he said no but he would be sure to find me when they came out. The sweet guy gave me the first one that came out - so very appreciative. Now the crossiant had the most amazing crunch I have ever experienced 10/10. I probably could do with out the pistachio filling as the buttery flakiness is good enough for me. I am all for a women owned bakery. Go girls! My one sour point was the barista seemed miserable and sort of ruined my experience when I asked for light milk. I want to try a bunch of their stuff so I will be back hopefully when they have more goods! read more

The coffee is good, the pastries are fabulous. Service isn't the fastest. There's a few breakfast items available in addition to the French/Danish/Lebanese inspired pastries. I like it here but it's expensive and there's very few seats so it can be hard to find a spot. They do have a no laptop policy that helps but I with they'd put a few more tables inside. read more

Librae Bakery - Nice interior but needs more seating - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Esquisite, pretty tasty but extremely, and I mean extremely overpriced. I've never imagine paying $8.5 for a croissant. Even though it was loaded with pistachios and rose petals and probably used decadent ingredients, I feel like we are rewarding bad behavior on allowing businesses price gouge like this... I'm looking at you too, Radio Bakery! This place will be a once in a while visit. for me, la cabra all the way! Pistachio Rose Croissant: decadent, personally I could go with less pistachio jam because at times this croissant felt a little too rich in its flavors Babka with lime marmalade - it was alright. I liked the bun it was buttery but the lime didn't really add anything to it. read more

the interior is chic and minimal. i got the butter croissant and it was delicious and everything you'd want a croissant to be, however it was super greasy. i know croissants are supposed to be quite buttery but this was really greasy to the touch. another kinda weird thing i noticed is that on the tables, it said "Use of laptops and ipads is not permitted" which to me was kinda odd because I guess you wouldn't be able to work from this cafe? lastly, the music was good, they played rnb and indie, which i'm biased towards. read more

I'd heard a lot of hype about Librae and was walking by on a Tuesday around 2pm when I noticed there was no line so I quickly hopped in and grabbed a couple of treats to try. Maybe I hyped it up too much in my head or maybe it wasn't fresh since it was later in the day but the pastries were stale and dry. I got 2 rose pistachio croissants, a dirty chai sticky bun and a za'atar labneh morning bun. The croissants were dry and hard and the morning bun tasted a bit stale. The dirty chai sticky bun wasn't bad. Not going to be rushing back but maybe I'll have to give it another try (this time in the morning) when I'll have a better chance of getting it fresh. read more

Great bakery spot for when you're craving something sweet! Ordered the rose pistachio croissant and it was extremely flavorful! If you don't like pistachio then you definitely won't like this as there is a pistachio sodas on the inside of the croissant. I came at around 2PM on a Sunday and it was packed! Definitely want to go earlier in the day next time to try some more treats! read more

Librae is trendy but for good reason. Haven't had the pleasure of trying one of their glorious sandwiches but I can safely say that their pastries are worth the hype. Service is fast, accommodating, and to the point so don't expect a lot of patience for when you order - they typically have a long line to get thru. The pistachio rose croissant is ridiculously good. It's both aromatic and just the right amount of sweetness. My friend and I got a regular pastry and danish as well but the pistachio was where it's at. read more

Stopped in spontaneously because my friend and heard of this spot and was curious. The interior decor was soothing and artistic, from the lettering to plants to the stools. I could see myself reading, writing, or catching up with a friend in any of their seating. There was a line when we entered but it moved rather quickly. We were super excited to try the pistachio rose croissant. My first bite was delectable and I enjoyed the filling quite a bit. However, I experienced diminishing returns with subsequent bites and felt slightly nauseated by the end, probably due to the sweetness. I'm sure someone with a bigger sweet tooth would have enjoyed it immensely! My friend thought it was overall underwhelming in taste but aesthetic for photos. I would return to try their other pastries. read more

Line reached up to their door when I arrived on a Sat afternoon, but it moved quickly. I had this place bookmarked and I was in the neighborhood so I decided to grab some of their pastries.

I came for the butter croissant...and this was as close to the outskirts of Paris that I've ever had outside the motherland. Almost too buttery, which meant it was just the right amount of butter, with a crisp that I can still hear crunching in my mouth. I don't actually remember how much this puppy cost but it was worth every penny. We also got a Danish that was still perfect an hour after purchase (we pounded the croissants in real time but had to wait on the Danish). I am already looking forward to my next visit! read more

If you are looking for a phenomenal bakery, Librae is probably my favorite in all of NYC. Unique coffee, beautiful pastries (you will want to try every one of them), ample seating and the vibes are great. My favorite is the tahini latte - unique! The feta and dill scone was amazing for someone who really loves savory - wasn't too dry and perfectly flaky. I'll 1000% come back and love that they rotate their menu! read more

This bakery has some of the best baked goods in the city. The chocolate chip cookies here are insane and you can't get anything that isn't going to be phenomenal. I got a tahini chocolate chip cookie here which was a unique take on a chocolate chip cookie with a roasted sesame flavor throughout, which complimented the chocolate. The touch of sea salt on the cookie made it perfect. I also got a dirty chai cinnamon bun and it was moist, and probably one of the best morning buns I've ever had! I will be going to librae and picking up a fun baked good whenever I get the chance! read more
