    I came here the other morning around 11am, and there was a small line. The space itself is pretty decent with some space to stand and eat (though no tables or anywhere to sit). They had a small menu of offerings to choose from, including many varieties of danishes, breads and croissants along with a couple of sandwich options. The service was friendly as well. I got the zaatar croissant and a regular croissant, and both were extremely delicious. They were flaky and moist and had a beautiful lamination to them. I would absolutely come back to try more items!

    Walked past at around 10:30am on a Sunday and it smelled sooo good. The line was out the door, but I couldn't resist and hopped in line. Luckily, it moved pretty quickly and I was able to grab a za'atar croissant in around 10 mins. The croissant was so good - warm, flaky, and buttery. Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I loved the za'atar filling. Definitely will be coming back to try their other pastries sometime soon!

    This is probably my favorite bakery within Williamsburg, not including Radio Bakery in Greenpoint. The pastries are on point, flaky, delicious and well priced and the food just overall tastes good. Get here early though, they have normal bakery hours so aren't around all day, and things do sell out, so you may not get your first dibs if you take too long. This is more of a come in and come out place though, so bring it home for some breakfast.

    The ham and cheese was only like the middle part 1/3 of the croissant. Croissant was fluffy and nice crisp, but not amazing.

    Very basic ham and cheese croissant that only filled the middle 1/3 of the sandwich. Ham and cheese flavor and quality wasn't amazing. Cold brew was decent. Service was quick. Space is relatively empty aside from a standing counter with a short width.

    their classic croissant

    Nick & Sons Bakery is literally right across the street from McCarren Park. The location is super convenient, but honestly what makes it even better is the space inside. They've got this huge waiting area, which doesn't sound like a big deal until it's the middle of winter and you're not stuck shivering outside while your pastry dreams flash before your eyes. The croissants here are the real reason to go, and they do not disappoint. They're perfectly flaky and buttery, the kind that basically explode into layers the second you bite in. You can actually watch them pulling trays in and out of the massive industrial ovens. My go-to is the ham and cheese croissant- super savory, crispy but not greasy. They've also got some other killer options, like a za'atar croissant that's herb-y and different in the best way, and a fig danish that hits that sweet-savory balance with cream cheese and fruit. If you can pry yourself away from the croissants, the seeded sourdough is also a standout. The only "meh" thing is that it's not really a sit-down café. You're not coming here to lounge with your laptop for hours, it's more of a grab-your-pastry, maybe hang for a bit, and then head out. They do have a standing bar inside but tbh, you'll finish your pastries in a few minutes. Come early if you're coming on a weekend as they often sell out by 12pm.

    Nick + Sons has my favorite croissant in all of NYC! However when I came in just before 12 this trip, most of their croissants already ran out. I ended up only getting a croissant that they described as being a croissant stuffed with custard and chocolate, as well as a pain au chocolat. I think I preferred the pain au chocolate as the first croissant didn't have enough custard In my opinion.

    Best croissant of my LIFE
    Lindsey C.

    Hands down best croissants I've ever had in my life. I didn't know I needed an everything croissant until I found theirs. crisp, flaky, golden-brown exterior that shatters when you bite into it. Interior soft, light, airy, with a distinct honeycomb structure. It's rich and buttery but not overly greasy at all. Truly divine! And the vegan chocolate chip cookie (only vegan item on menu when I was there) was perfection.

    Ham and cheese croissant
    Matt L.

    Ham and cheese croissant was very excellent, especially right out of the oven. It's got this softness inside with an explosion of flavor sitting on the surface of that flaky and crispy exterior. One of those pastries where you're aware of every bite you take because you really do savor it. Line moved quickly & love a place that has milk out on the counter to adjust levels of coffee milkiness.

    zatar cheddar croissant
    Jasmine L.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the zatar cheddar croissant! I've never had this flavor combo before and it was soooo good. The croissant was extra chewy because of the cheese which almost gave it a mochi like texture. Line was decent but moves very quick! No seats inside but there is a park nearby to sit down! Highly recommend the croissant, probably one of my favourite savory croissants in the city.

    Cardamon bun, za'atar croissant, tomato/spinach pastry
    Elayne W.

    A solid bakery with a delicious za'atar croissant! I've never had anything with that flavor before. The cardamon bun was too fragrant for my liking - it tasted a bit perfume-y. The tomato/spinach pastry was also good but I would have preferred more toppings to even out the pastry ratio. The line can seem long but it moves fast so don't be intimidated! I would come back to try more savory options.

    This place has been on my list for a long time but it's just a bit out of the way for me so I only got around to visiting recently. The bakery itself is pretty spacious but there are no tables, just counters if you want to eat there. I got there a little past 11am on a weekday and they were already sold out of their popular items (cardamom bun, za'tar croissant etc.) I got the plain croissant ($4) and the chocolate almond croissant ($6). I didn't realize it until later but they actually gave me two chocolate almond croissants - I think because they were on the smaller side but it was a happy discovery. I'm don't really consider myself a croissant connoisseur, but I thought the croissants were really solid: it was crispy and flaky on the outside and had a good chew in the inside, which I didn't expect. Not greasy at all either. Overall I thought it was great - I just wish I could've come earlier to try their za'tar croissant and their cardamom bun.

    Spinach, tomato, and ricotta danish
    Alana K.

    I went here with a few of my friends to grab pastries on a Saturday morning. We got there around 11am. The line was out the door and started to go down the block, but it moved fast. We waited for around 15 minutes. They don't have indoor seating, so everything is to-go. I got the spinach, tomato, and ricotta danish. The pastry itself was very flaky; not wet or doughy at all! Both the pastry and the toppings were delicious. I would definitely come back here to try other things on the menu.

    The last almond croissant!
    Bill S.

    I love the cold weather. Why? Because I can strut into places like Nick + Sons bakery with no lines! My wife has a hair appointment in New York City. I said while I'm waiting, I require fresh baked goods to keep me occupied. I make it my mission to hit up the hottest Yelp spots that have everyone buzzing. I walk in and see a bunch of hard working folks baking delicious treats. I think I'm in awe at this moment, this is some operation. My wife picks a savory treat but my mission is to get an almond croissant. I walk up and place my order. The gentleman tells me I just purchased the last almond croissant. Huzza! The early bird catches the flaky pastry.. We grab our coffees and settle into the small dining space. The almond croissant was all that and then some. The almond paste was held in place by a flaky croissant exterior. Man, that was just incredible. I strike up a conversation with the counter guy. He tells me Nick traveled overseas to learn their croissant techniques. Nick, you nailed it. I was just in France (not Paris) and this croissant was better than anything they offered.

    Mia's has become my go-to for when I'm looking for a sweet treat or looking to gift someone some…read moresweet treats. Every item I've tried has been delicious. I keep on returning back for their flan. This time, I tried their fruit napoleon and it definitely hit the spot. Their cookies are also super fresh for gifting to folks or hosting. The spot itself is spacious and the service is wonderful. I like that they have outdoor seating as well for summer nights. It's become a regular spot for us when we're craving a sweet treat!

    There are some places that become part of your family's story, and Mia's Bakery is one of ours…read more We've been coming since the day it opened on Smith Street, and everything we've tried, the rainbow cookies, the tres leches, the cheesecake, has been wonderful. But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.
