Lower East Side, Manhattan · shop
A tiny Lower East Side bakery turning out croissants, cruffins, and doughnuts with the kind of technical precision that has made it one of New York’s most photographed pastry counters. The menu rotates constantly, sellouts are routine, and the Thursday-through-Sunday schedule only adds to the urgency. Everyone comes for the laminated pastries, but the soft serve is the sleeper hit that regulars make room for.
