Lovely neighborhood place. Amazing sourdough bagels and chocolate chip scones, and it's the only place around to get good baguettes. Staff are super friendly. The coffee will do the trick but their food stands out more. read more

Honestly rather disappointed. Tried their chocolate croissant but it was on the blander side. Not that flaky/buttery, rather poor lamination. Overall, I would not recommend their chocolate croissants, but will likely return to try their other breads. read more

Finally made it to the new location! It's definitely smaller than the original spot on 105th & Broadway, but that clearly doesn't stop anyone the lines still stretch out the door on weekends, and there's always someone enjoying a pastry outside. I've been coming here since the original location, and the Lemon Tart has always been my absolute favorite. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, but I stopped by today and of course had to get the Lemon Tart still a must, and still perfection. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is very nice and always smiling such a welcoming vibe every time. Highly recommend the Lemon Tart and Fruit Tart absolutely fabulous. read more

Silver Moon Bakery was one of my accidental finds. I'm sorry to say I didn't get back there as much as I wanted. Now they are closing by the end of March. Owning 200k in rent they decided not to fight the landlords decision to not renew their lease. If you live nearby you should stock up on their delicious artisanal breads! I'm feeling sorry for the owners for the loss of their business after 24 years. I doubt they will open elsewhere. I think I heard they are retiring. My mouth is watering thinking about their delicious breakfast treats. read more

They have reopened in the old broadway restaurant space at 101-102nd st. And broadway. Nicely renovated and clean and bright.

Everyone, especially the older gentleman, behind the register was very sweet but... I asked if I could make my chai latte more spicy. I overheard me being made fun of behind the counter, hearing 'oh should i add hot sauce?!' and when the 'barista' handed me my drink he said 'I made it like how I know' in a very snarky manner. First sip of my drink it was grainy, I came back to ask for an exchange since I couldnt handle the texture, and the men handling the register were very understanding. Yet the '''barista''' had more to say. 'Go to starbucks!.. They need to go to starbucks' he shouted indirectly at me. Needless to say I wont be coming back if Kevin is there. read more

Nice local bakery with lots of options. They have amazing sourdough bagels and bread! I had my first ever sourdough bagel here, and my bagel experience has been forever changed! I've also tried their plain brioche (good) and cinnamon brioche (better). The inside is small, but you can see all the goods for sale! There is sometimes a small line but it moves fast, and the workers are friendly. There is also some seating outside. read more

I came here for their sourdough bagels and it didn't disappoint! I got the all seeds and sesame bagels. I would prefer the all seeds bagel without the sunflower seeds and I could also go for a bit more sourdough flavor but overall they were good. It didn't take me long to get it and price it's standard ($5,5 for both - with no spread!). Their breads and pastries looked amazing so I might try some next time! read more

I'm a fan of baked goods, and whenever there's an opportunity for me to try a new bakery I jump on it. Silver Moon Bakery was brought to my attention after some family friends who live on the UWS let me know the bakery had a good reputation in the neighborhood. That was enough for me, and made it my intention to check it out. Silver Moon has a good selection of baked goods, and I was able to try out two of their tarts: the fresh berry and the lemon. Both were presented beautifully; the berry had a plethora of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries sitting atop a custard. The lemon was simply but effectively decorated with powdered sugar and a single lemon slice. In terms of taste, I liked the lemon way more than the berry. The former had big lemon flavor without being overpowering, honestly everything you want out of a lemon tart. I didn't love the berry one as much - the fruit was fresh, but the custard had zero flavor at all. Perhaps that was done on purpose as to not fight with the sweetness of the fruit, but the blandness was really off-putting. Despite my disappointment with the berry tart, that lemon one was great - and it gives me hope that their other bakes are just as good. I definitely want to return to explore more of their offerings. read more

I saw they sold sourdough bagels and knew I had to try them. My wife and I came and got one multigrain sourdough bagel and one sesame sourdough bagel. The exterior had a good amount of grains/seeds on the top and the interior was soft and tasty. They both cost $2.75 each which is a bit steep for bagels, but understandable for it being sourdough. The workers are nice and quick and the other baked goods look delicious!!! Will try other breads next time read more

They closed down for a bit and re opened a few blocks south. The place looks cleaner and the baked goods seem fresher but they're not living in the real world, asking $8 for a small creme brûlée, $6.50 for a pastry. read more

This bakery does an excellent job of making high quality pastries and desserts. We got one of their lemon tarts that blew us away. This dessert is so flavorful has a really good amount of tartness to it. The bakery itself has a class window of many different types of desserts you can buy there. It is a small store, but they make a huge variety of items. I will definitely return this location as I am sure they have a bunch of other fantastic desserts. read more

My favorite local bakery! Come here all the time for my hazelnut iced coffee with oat milk. Best items here include their wide variety of fresh breads as well as the pastries. You have to get here early (before 9:30am) to get the best stuff before it's gone. Below are my personal ratings for some fan favorites: Lemon tart - 5/5 Fruit Tart - 4/5 Apple Tart - 5/5 Tomato & Feta Quiche - 5/5 Palmiers - 5/5 Madeleines - 4/5 Olive Bread - 5/5 Croissants - 5/5 Cinnamon Brioche - 3/5 Eclair - 5/5 read more

Visiting from out of town, when my daughter's boyfriend took us to a bakery in his old neighborhood that he grew up in. We had a sample of few things and it was all very good. I give it a perfect rating because he said the smell instantly reminded him of his younger days and he was so happy to show it off. Well done Silver Moon. read more

A beautiful local UWS bakery. We're far from regulars, but one measure of their quality is if they can deliver on obscure pastries on the corners of their menu. We tried a $5 "cruffin," which was fluffy dough folded around nutella, custard, and walnuts. Hardly resembled either a croissant or a muffin. Doesn't matter, it was delicious! Also very large. Other measures of quality are the fact that they retain regular customers (my wife remembers them from years ago) and if they can deliver on menu staples, like bread. Yes, for sure, we saw some regulars scoop up some bread. read more

You know when the baguette is good quality, you only need a simple butter. You can tell the baguette will be so tasty when you softly squeeze it hear the light crack sound. This baguette has that perfect crispy outside and soft and moistinside. With tax it's $4.50 and the portion and the taste makes it totally worth the visit. When you are craving a good quality baguette near Columbia University, make sure to check this bakery for its baguette silvermoonbakery is perfect small bakery tucked in between upper west side near Columbia University and that make rustic looking breads, pastry, cake and tart! read more

Old school style bakery that seems to be disappearing from the NYC neighborhoods.. They carry an assortment of tasty breads and pastry products. Hot and cold drinks. Sidewalk seating under an awning for shade. Friendly service and decent prices. The quality and portions are good for what they charge. They carry some pasty items that are hard to find for sure. Warm and cozy atmosphere, and that wonderful aroma of breads and pastries when you walk in the door. Oh, and if they have the Nutella Cruffin in stock get it. I really enjoyed that one out of the bag of things I brought home. My one gripe is that some were on the dry side, while others had bland taste. Other breads and pastries were good. Very hit or miss. read more

Often overlooked amidst the many capable contenders for favorite cookie in NYC, I believe Silver Moon's gooey-yet-crunchy, chewy-but-soft chocolate chip cookie. merits its own moment in the spotlight. Before we get into all the textures and flavors on offer in this single, handheld item, I feel I would be doing you a disservice if I failed to start, as the name does, with the chocolate. The entire pastry is honeycombed with massive, disk-shaped coins of it. This is lightly-bitter, richly-flavored dark chocolate packed into the softball-sized cookie at such a volume that seems a miracle the treat maintains structural integrity. And what a delicious structure it is! Let me start from the cookie's edges. Silver Moon bakes their chocolate chippers darker than most, allowing their exteriors to develop a shattering crisp and the caramelized, buttery flavor of holiday toffee. Working our way inwards, we hit the aforementioned chewy phase of the experience that gives our jaws something delightful to contemplate. Finally, we land in the sunken middle. This cookie is crater-shaped by design. The center has been left ever-so-slightly underbaked, affording a doughy core bite that feels delightfully devious to eat, reminiscent of the spoonfuls of batter many of us (myself included) used to sneak from the mixing bowl while adults' backs were turned. Even in a place where cookies are as hotly contested as they are in this city, the Silver Moon chocolate chip cookie promises to be a crowd-pleaser. read more

Did you ever see those cartoons where a scent starts pulling one of the characters and they willingly succumb and start slithering along like a snake to wherever they're led? No? Oh, it's just me, I guess. Nonetheless, Silver moon is responsible for enabling my bread and pastry habits. This place is a warm, gathering place featuring beverages but most importantly the best bread, cake and pastries in the area. You never have to doubt about the freshness of their goods. You only worry that you will overspend on your bread budget. You don't have a bread budget? Oh, it's just me? Ok. Macaroons, mini cakes, chocolate AND cinnamon babkas, brioche, bread loaves, baguettes, sweetened bread, grain bread----honestly, the list is endless. This place has been around for my whole life and what I hope is forever. They use authentic recipes and wholesome ingredients and it shows in their presentation, taste, and the long standing love from the local community. Silver moon is the bees knees! read more

I was intrigued when I saw that they sold homemade ice cream, but I had my dog with me, so they did not permit us to come in, so I handed my payment to one of the bakery workers from a side door and they paid the bill without telling me how much it was or providing me with a receipt. This is two ounces or less of ice cream with too much vanilla in it. It is not worth $7.50. Why does it seem like everyone is using our current inflation to be incredibly greedy and ridiculous? read more

My friends got me my birthday cake from here and omg it was so good. It was called Chocolate Decadence cake. Layers of chocolate cake covered with chocolate mousse and whole thing covered in even more chocolate (look at that shiny exterior!) was as rich as it could get. Please don't count calories while eating this. The ratio of cake:mousse was ideal. The sugar might be a bit too much but someone with a sweet tooth couldn't care less about it. Can't really comment much on the place since I have not personally been there but maybe soon coz I want more of that decadent goodness. read more

First, I'd like to say that I ordered a cake and when I called the following day for confirmation, the guy had no idea that the cake was ordered and finally after him finally finding the cake in the walk-in and when I received the cake and then tasted it frosting taste like the refrigerator, and the cape is very dry. You would expect a carrot cake to be moist. It was not very good and definitely overpriced. 58 .00 for a 6" cake read more

I came here for a quick snack and I will definitely be back. I ordered a cheese puff which was quite tasty and I always get excited when I see dog treats. The cheese puff was great; soft and a mild cheese flavor. Everything was about $3.50 which to me is a really good price. I want to come back to try other items. They also have outdoor seating which was the perfect fit for today's great weather. I do think someone should clean the tables regularly. I did see everyone was busy working so I am not sure if they have an available person who can clean the tables. read more
