What People Are Saying About City Bakery

Citysearch

This vast, incredibly popular Flatiron super-bakery is as crowded for Sunday morning brunches as an uptown 6 train during rush hour. Expect a mad jumble of Prada bags, baby strollers and fierce body-to-body jockeying for open seats. But for its baked goods alone--the wonderfully salty, soft-on-the-inside pretzel croissants, the moist cheese Danishes, the textbook lemon and chocolate tarts--City Bakery is worth the trouble. Also noteworthy is the eatery's global array of buffet salads and entrees. Typical choices include breaded catfish, black peas with kaffir lime and salads like jasmine rice with sweet preserved beans and Thai basil. When it's cold, steaming mugs of hot chocolate are served with or without a homemade marshmallow.

City Bakery is a pretty decent place to try, but if you're looking for an even better dessert hot spot with amazing gourmet chocolate, you have to try Chocolate Bar in the West Village! CHOCOLATE BAR WEST VILLAGE Alison Nelson reopened her West Village location just steps away from her pioneering original Chocolate Bar: 19 Eighth Avenue between 12th Street & Jane, NYC (West Village) www.chocolatebarnyc. com/ info@chocolatebarnyc. com

The City Bakery is a very busy small cafe. They serve their lunch buffet style. On top of that they make the most amazing scones and cakes. The cafe is a bit cramped. The table close to one another.

Nothing better than stopping here on a cold winter day for a bowl of the richest hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Whipped cream not even necessary because just a little milk into the choco is an unbelievable treat. The baked goods are good too but just make sure you get the hot chocolate.
