Chocolate chunk flour cookies sell out before noon, setting the tone for how early you need to arrive. With roughly 30 pastries in rotation daily. Cakes layered with blueberry compote, malted cinnamon buns, and savory paneer tikka croissants, the Cooper Square counter assumes you’re not stopping at one item. The PB&J Crunch cake has been on the menu for a decade, and one bite makes it clear why it never left.
