Bakery Products

Pros:

  • "OMG the breads are so amazingly good here."
  • "Raspberry cake is unassuming but exquisite (buttery, soft, melts in your mouth)."
  • "Definitely the highlight is their cardamom buns."
  • "The cardamom bun is the bomb!"
  • "These cardamom and cinnamon buns are amazing! So much better than anything else available in NYC."
  • "Their pastry = highest quality and perfect taste."
  • "The Seeded Crackers are addictive and full of flavor."

Cons:

  • "The pastries are good, but their bread is not to nourish the body and soul, it is to massage the rich man's ego with it's commodity pricing of $22/loaf."
  • "Bought cardamom bun and blueberry crumble. It doesn’t taste the same as in Stockholm."
  • "Cardamom bun does NOT live up to the Swedish/Danish standards, it’s nowhere near as flaky and wonderfully subtle and balanced as the likes of Andersen & Maillard."
  • "How dare you charge $5 for a croissant that is half size of what it should be and is not even a real one."
  • "This was a real disappointment as I had previously visited one of the London locations where I had a moist and flavourful saffron bun, whereas here the cardamom bun was EXTREMELY dry."
  • "The baguettes are far from real ones, very flat and not shaped, the dough is too sour."
  • "Croissant was basically bread, was not flaky at all."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Quality is always a little extra and I'm perfectly fine with that cause it also comes with great customer service."
  • "Everyone here has been so lovely, so pleasant, so gracious, happy."
  • "The staff were nice as well."
  • "The ladies were so kind, and we spoke to the pastry chef who was happy to chat with us for a few minutes."
  • "The cashier was very nice person and was answering my questions with pleasure."
  • "The staff was very helpful."
  • "Staff is very kind and the manager was able to smooth over a miscommunication with the delivery courier."

Cons:

  • "The waiter put two almond buns on my tab and when I mentioned I had only one towards the end, they behaved as if I made a mistake!"
  • "Man behind the counter was extremely rude, won’t be coming here again."
  • "Also the European ladies who work here are on a power trip, saw one of them yell at a woman sitting on one of the chairs outside waiting for her husband to buy something."
  • "Unfortunately, the atmosphere was not welcoming."
  • "Next time Im making sure to NOT deal with the person with the glasses."
  • "Their service was not helpful (when I went a few weeks ago), they lacked knowledge of the products they were selling including their ingredients, and the line was very slow."
  • "They serve out rudeness with the breads."

Price & Value

Pros:

  • "One iced latte and croissant will run you over $11, a low price to 'travel' to Sweden for a pastry tasting ;)"
  • "So a little pricey, but it's up there with other high end European bakeries ~5 bucks a pastry..but..at least you get what you pay for."
  • "Both were $6 each which is on the pricier side but worth the try!"
  • "Prices are as expected!"

Cons:

  • "Ugh, so expensive and the insta/meat packing crowd really bum me out, but it’s so worth it."
  • "Ridiculously Overpriced!"
  • "Other negative fact is that 5$ is just too much for such a small pastry."
  • "Two breads for USD11+! Inflation is crazy.."
  • "But the prices impressed me. For instance: I paid for 1 loaf of bread - kind of briks shape... I was charged - attention - $25 (!!!)."
  • "Prices are a bit on the high side, not a place to bring the family as $$$$$ add up very quick."
  • "Prices were a bit too much for the quality."

Ambiance & Location

Pros:

  • "Pretty interior with a fun view of the kitchen, and nice seating."
  • "The location is a bit out-of-the-way for me as a Brooklynite, but I intend to go back as often as I can."
  • "Everything is neat but not too neat, the buns are displayed and arranged in nice rows that you can admire through their large glass windows."
  • "Lovely little bakery."
  • "Also, the service is always great, no matter if it's busy or not and the place is really cute."
  • "Gorgeous space and fabulously temping aromas!"
  • "It’s calm, peaceful, a lot of earth tons that keep your eye relaxed and not too aggressive."

Cons:

  • "Sometimes they run out of tables inside around 8–9, which, y'know, normal."
  • "The entire batch looked over baked."
  • "They didn’t have many pastries around the time I came which seems unusual because it was a weekday around 3pm."
  • "14st location has so many staff but service is mediocre."
  • "Upon entering this bakery you'll feel a mild gust of rustic Scandinavian bakery vibes."
