Dominique Ansel Bakery

About

Tucked away on Spring Street in the heart of SoHo, Dominique Ansel Bakery has become a notable destination for those exploring Manhattan’s culinary scene. This bakery is widely recognized as the home of the original cronut, a signature croissant-doughnut hybrid that features a rotating flavor menu each month. Beyond its famous pastry, the shop offers a variety of creative treats, including the DKA—a caramelized, flaky kouign-amann—as well as unique items like the chocolate chip cookie shot and frozen s’mores. The bakery maintains a distinct atmosphere, featuring a cozy interior and a charming, vine-covered garden patio in the back that provides a quiet space to enjoy a coffee or a pastry. While the shop often draws a crowd, resulting in lines that can stretch out the door, visitors frequently note that the staff remains friendly and helpful throughout the service. With a solid 4.3 rating from over 9,000 reviews, the bakery continues to be a popular stop for locals and travelers alike who are looking to experience these well-known, inventive desserts in a classic New York setting.
