Have you had their croissants?!?!?!

by karenkarenbobaren

Apparently Moishe doesn't make croissants very often, but when we went in there a few years ago he had some in the window. We were expecting a buttery regular croissant, but it wasn't like that at all. It was warm, and it looked like a croissant, but it tasted like a danish. It was the best thing I have ever eaten in my freaking life.

We visit the city a few times a year and always come to Moishe's, but never again did he have them. We did ask about it and he told us that the next time we come, to please call the day before and he might be able to whip up a batch.

I love that this is a hole in the wall and as far as NYC bakeries go, this is the best kind. Nothing flashy, just a hole in the wall and I think it makes everything taste better! Like buying baked goods from someone's kitchen rather than a store.

My sister had some trouble ordering mondel brot; the ladies up front got it wrong twice and they were kind of perturbed since they cut it for her and then couldn't use it (apparently). I think they were giving her marble for chocolate or vice versa; it was REALLY confusing. But like with so many places that are melting pots, I totally give them a pass even though my sister was about to flip her lid.

Anyhow, if you ever see croissants BUY ONE.

I'd be clinically obese if I lived in NYC.

• Pros: EVERYTHING!
• Cons: Sometimes the staff doesn't understand what you want.

One of the last Great Kosher Bakeries left in Manhattan

by boyfromqueens

Must haves: kickles, babkas, marble sponge cake, seven layer cake, and freshly baked cheese and prune danish. Although I live on the UWS I try to swing by at least once a month. Throw the seeded rye in the freezer; throw right in the toaster and apply butter in emergency.

• Pros: kickle, babkas, and marble sponge.

Best strudel after best facial !

by maursey

Ohhhh,.........but have you had their apple strudel,..... or the cheese strudel. To die for! After I have the best NYC facial at Monique's on 9th Street, I always treat myself to a piece of strudel. And I let no one speak to me while I savor it without any distraction. Mmmmmm
