Bakery offering creative American classics like honey cake & cinnamon rolls
"Maker of original and reinvented sweets that are "not too sweet," this bakery crafts celebratory layer cakes that balance nostalgic flavors with refined details: vanilla bean–flecked cake layers crowned with inky wild blueberries and sesame-peanut brittle. The signature creation ($65) is credited to chef-owner Miro Uskokovic and is noted for how the sesame-peanut brittle sends the final product "into an orbit all its own." - Emma Orlow
"At Hani’s Bakery in the East Village, nobody just gets one thing. Everybody gets a tray, and everybody fills that tray with treats like a classic and excellent chocolate chunk cookie, a four-layer cake inspired by the humble peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a beige baked potato bun that you could easily miss, but might end up being your favorite thing here. If the person behind the counter throws a malted cinnamon bun onto your tray “because it just came out of the oven,” do not stop them. Hani’s—pronounced honey’s—is having a lot of fun. Whenever you visit, you will too." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"A frequently packed East Village bakery expanded its sandwich offerings with a revelatory turkey club ($17) that layers salty pistachio kale pesto with slices of turkey, bacon, baby greens, and crunch from toasted, buttery milk bread. Staff note that it 'takes a bit of time to prepare,' but reviewers say it's worth the wait. —Stephanie Wu, editor-in-chief" - Nat Belkov
"The newest entrant on the list, the highly anticipated bakery from chef Miro Uskokovic of Gramercy Tavern fame had five cakes on offer on opening day, in addition to a dizzying array of other sweet and savory items. Try the crowd-pleasing chocolate tuxedo cake and breathtaking peanut butter crunch cake, but don’t miss the namesake Hani’s honey cake or the brown butter carrot cake with pear-ginger jam." - Mike Chau
"The malted cinnamon bun at Hani’s in the East Village is so expertly frosted that you can’t see the dough under it. But it’s there—more cakey than flaky—under a malted milk cream cheese frosting that’s got just an idea of cardamom. This is their bestseller for a reason." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman
