[[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm a huge fan of this bakery, but it's my first time at this much smaller Manhattan location[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a fraction of what the Brooklyn store has.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ultimately opted for a red velvet cupcake and a raspberry tart for Valentine's Day. I will stick with the Brooklyn location going forward though. I don't know if the presentation and customer service is on par with what you get there. read more

Decided to pick up 3 slices of cake after seeing a Broadway play. These cakes remind me of my childhood. Brought the nostalgia back. My favorite was the Nutella slice. They're all not bad. I just didn't know there was coconut on one of the slices and I really don't like coconut flakes. Still not a bad taste just a preference. Just a tip when you bring the cakes back to your place, take it out of the box and let it air out a little bit so it doesn't taste like the cardboard box. This goes for any place you buy cakes btw. I think it tastes even better after refrigerating. But also can't go wrong with chocolate. Service was great, everyone there working is friendly. read more

One of my colleagues brought in cupcakes from Mia's Bakery to mark an occasion at work. Initially, I was pretty apathetic since bakeries can be a dime a dozen in NYC, and I'm not the biggest fan of cupcakes. Nevertheless, the cupcakes were there, and I'm not one to pass on sweets - so of course I had to see what this was all about. Mia's has its roots in Booklyn, but also has two locations in Manhattan and three more in Massachusetts. My colleague got a dozen cupcakes, all different flavors. We actually browsed the menu prior to ordering and they have a lot of different flavor combinations. Additionally, the standard bakery fare was offered. I decided to try the coconut cupcake which was made with vanilla sponge. I was slightly surprised as it did not contain any of the things I *didn't* like about cupcakes - the toppings weren't clumsy, the sponge was m-o-i-s-t, and it wasn't overly sweet. If only all cupcakes were like this. Overall, while I only had a sampling of Mia's offerings, I was impressed. My interested is piqued and I would definitely be open to checking out their other bakes. read more

I've heard their Blackout cake is supposed to be one of the best in the city but I haven't tried any others yet.. Carrot cake and aforementioned BC were incredible. Not the best carrot cake I've ever had but really good. The blackout cake slice was super moist (eee) + had a strong dark chocolate flavor. The airiness of chocolate custard + the fudge that enveloped the outside (although lil too thick for me)-- soo perfect. Got a BOGO red velvet cupcake, too. It was good but I didn't note any rich cream cheese taste. Look at the cakes on their website; they're works of art! read more

Stopped here to get some dessert because I remember the creme brulee cupcakes being really good on a previous trip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bakery itself is tiny. Only room for one or 2 customers inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a decent selection of items. I got 3 types of cupcakes and an eclair. I had the creme brulee cupcake. My husband had everything else. He did not like the cupcakes at all - said they were extremely dry. He's not wrong - they were dry. The creme brulee stuff on that cupcakes helps with that. The eclair he also said was not great. Service was lackluster but it was efficient. I don't think based on this experience we would return. read more

I don't understand how Mia's got so many good reviews. Maybe their other products are better. Or their other location is better. They say, "Looks can be deceiving". That deception cuts both ways and for the pecan sticky bun, I was, unfortunately,negatively deceived. It looked good, but from the first bite it ended up very disappointing. I stopped by in the morning on the way to see the Rockettes holiday show, but the bun was so dry and hard that the quality felt more like a multi-day old product left out in the open. If you do order one of the pastries, make sure you get a coffee to dip it in. read more

I got a dozen cupcakes ($45) and the person who helped me was nice but I noticed that the frosting was messed up on a few (indentation, other frosting mixed in). Not a big deal normally but this was for a birthday so a little bummed out. Overall, the chocolate cakes were the best ones and I thought the frosting on all were a bit lacking. It's more of a whipped cream base than butter cream. The chocolate and oreo were my favorites because of the chocolate cake base. Also tried red velvet (least favorite - not much flavor and not a cream cheese frosting), vanilla, creme Brulee (a little bit of a custard-like filling), and caramel. read more

I appreciate that they have a few vegan cakes and at least one (sometimes two) vegan AND gluten-free cakes available. The handful of times I have been there, they almost always had the chocolate peanut butter vegan & GF cake, but a couple times they also had the chocolate hazelnut cake as well. Both are delicious. I think it was only once that I popped in and they had neither, and I had to leave empty-handed with no cake. Considering it is in Times Square, a little under $8 isn't bad for a small piece of cake, but it's definitely not something I can justify buying on a regular basis - just a nice little treat now and then. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. It's a tiny little space with only enough room for a handful of people to stand in line inside. Can be very cramped when it's more than four people in line. Not a place to sit down and eat your cake or drink your beverage - you'll have to find somewhere else to enjoy your treats. read more

Mia Bakery came highly recommended from a friend. Upon arrival it was very crowded as late as 8:30pm. Was looking for a strawberry shortcake for a friend birthday. A very friendly and pleasant young lady name Jennifer and a server who could have possibly been the manager Chris were amazing! Although they didn't have any strawberry shortcake on display she was able to find in their fridge and was able to write HBD. There was a full-service restaurant in the back of the bakery will have to try at a later. They had so many delicious pasteries on display and different types to chose from. It was clean and managed well. read more

I am obsessed with the pastries and cakes here and how beautiful they are! I deeply appreciate the…read moreartistry that goes into making these fruit-looking desserts that bring the taste to life. The Mango and Pistachio looked so realistic and mirrored the flavors perfectly. I love the size of their cakes which are perfect to share with a group of 4. I indulged in their Black Sesame Mochi Cake and Blueberry Chiffon Cake which both have the fluffiest sponge cake base, a fluffy vibrant cream, and fresh ingredients and fruit. Give their drinks a try too. I enjoy their matcha here! The Traffic Lights is a strawberry matcha with a mango cream top. And I also tried their Black Sesame Latte but substituted the espresso for matcha and loved this customized pairing. FYI, there is no bathroom!

Finally decided to try this place after walking by it for years. I refused to try this in the past,…read morebecause I didn't like how many items they put on display. It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

What a delightful surprise! After working late and attending an event after work, one of my…read morecoworkers suggested we stop here because they loved their cookies. I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

Bread Story New York

Getting a fresh loaf used to be my husband's morning tradition, and we've been disappointed for years--until we found Bread Story. The owner, Yann Ledoux, was the executive baker for Eric Kayser USA, and he has kept that legendary tradition alive. The best part? They open early, so you can actually get a warm, fresh-from-the-oven baguette to start your day for $3.50. It has that perfect, shatteringly crisp crust and airy interior that made Kayser the gold standard. It's such a relief to have an authentic French boulangerie back in the neighborhood that focuses on the craft rather than the 'scene.' If you miss the old Kayser loaves, go see Yann early in the morning--it's the real deal.

They are running a really interesting under the counter espresso machine where the main bulk of the equipment is hidden away, leaving just these sleek, minimal group heads rising up from the counter. It was my first time seeing a machine of that style in person, and it looks incredibly sharp. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in the area.

I'd heard a lot about the place and the guy behind it, so expectations were pretty high--and it didn't disappoint. As soon as you walk in, it has this really cool old-school burger-joint vibe. Everything was clean, simple, and nostalgic in the best way. The service was also really good--everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience that much better. And of course, I had to get a Yoo-hoo. There's just something about drinking a Yoo-hoo with a classic burger that takes you right back to being a kid. The burger itself was really good--simple, flavorful, and exactly what you want from an old-school burger spot. Nothing overly complicated or trying too hard, just a really solid burger, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely glad I stopped by while I was in New York, and I'd absolutely recommend checking it out!

A Michelin-Star-Level Egg Salad Sandwich…read more This update focuses on the egg salad sandwich, which stole the show on my most recent visit. I ordered the egg salad sandwich on toasted whole-wheat bread, and it was outstanding. The flavor and texture were, in my opinion, Michelin-star level. Visually, it was almost a work of art: the egg salad had a beautiful, vibrant yellow color, thanks to the addition of yellow mustard and the use of high-quality eggs. What makes the sandwich particularly impressive is how simple the recipe is. The egg salad is based on George Motz's mother's classic recipe, made with just hard-boiled eggs, yellow mustard, and quality mayonnaise. Sometimes, keeping things simple is the secret to making something exceptional. I chose the express line and headed to the first-come, first-served seating area in the back. I quickly found a window seat, which gave me a great view of the constant SoHo hustle and bustle--the perfect setting for enjoying lunch. There are also several options for customizing your experience. You can order the egg salad on white or wheat bread, toasted or untoasted. And if you can't decide between egg salad and tuna salad, there's the off-menu "Jonathan," which combines half egg salad and half tuna salad in the same sandwich. Another option is the Salad Plate, which comes with a scoop of both egg salad and tuna salad served with Ritz crackers. As always, the restaurant was spotless, and the service was efficient, friendly, and consistently excellent. For me, though, the star of this visit was unquestionably the egg salad sandwich--simple ingredients, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious.
