Heritage Grand Bakery

Quite expensive, but the selection is interesting, and everything looks delicious. It turned out to be truly tasty—the tofu quiche, almond croissant, and cinnamon bun were great. The coffee was excellent too! A major downside is the lack of comfortable seating. High stools, a narrow bar counter, and only 8-10 seats placed too close together.

Huge selection of pastry and baked goods from sweet to savory. Grabbed an apricot danish and iced latte to go. Both are fine but need to revisit to try out more if I am in the area. Down side of this place is there aren’t a lot of seatings so really meant for grab and go.

Definitely not for the cheap as the prices here are definitely pretty expensive, they have a nice and pretty arrangement of pastries that makes it tempting to try everything. The food and drinks in the fridge is also pretty darn expensive, it's like i was back at the airport. The interior is visually pleasant and the staff were all very friendly and accomodating. Had a lovely chat with the staff there!

Dessert here was the highlight of my day. The Ispahan was so delicious. Be sure to check it out while in the Bryant Park area. There are plenty of good eats, bakery goods, teas and coffee. I look forward to returning back when I’m the area.

If you are looking for a perfect and unique dessert and you happen to be close to Bryant park, this is the place to be. They don’t have much of seating space but you can grab your dessert along with a coffee or tea on the go and enjoy it in the park. When confused on what to pick, go with the servers request, they are really good and help in picking the right one as per your taste.

The epi’s light and soft with a thin crispy crust, though I wish the crumb had a bit more flavor. The praline bliss tastes like a fancified Ferrero Rocher. The place seems to struggle in handling large foot traffic.

We went there to grab a piece of cake for my partners birthday, hands down k e of the most delicious cakes we had. And the coffee was pretty good too. The staff were also really friendly. I think I will visit this place every time I come to New York.

What a treat this place is! I was working a gig in the area for 5 days and I came here every morning!! I got the ham and cheese croissant the first day and I was hooked. MAN, is that thing GOOD!!! So yummy. I also tried the egg sandwich on focaccia, which was delicious. And I tried two of their cookies, I very highly recommend the triple chocolate. *chefs kiss*. I bought half a loaf of sourdough to take home as well. The only item I had that I didn't care for was the orange cream brioche. Everything else was a winner!

I'm keen to find great bakeries wherever I go, so this was a very welcome find only a few blocks from my hotel. So nice I went here twice, in fact. The pastries really are to die for. They're so luscious. I had one of their pistachio cruffins, a quiche, some of their cheese sticks, and the pastry with chocolate and custard (sorry, I've forgotten the name.) All of it was delicious. I sat just across the way in the park and enjoyed the scenery while I ate. A perfect little spot to take a moment for yourself.

Popped in for some late afternoon desserts. Super cute place with a lot very attractive options. We got three pastries, all of which were pretty good. Nothing terribly interesting but consistent in the desserti-ness and texture. Service was superb. Good option if you're looking for a breakfast dessert of some kind in the area. They also had some delicious-looking sandwiches which we did not try, but would absolutely want to were we to come again

My partner and I came in here because the pastries look SO GOOD. The queue is pretty fast moving once you enter. We got multiple things: pistachio cronut, praline bliss chocolate cake, pistachio financier, hot chocolate and a drip coffee. The pastry and the baked goods very really good. I'd rank these (1) praline bliss, (2) cronut and (3) financier. The drinks on the other hand were bad. The hot chocolate was not hot and extremely sweet. It tasted like cheap cocoa mix. The drip coffee was very watery as well. The price range is a lil high but very typical for the location. I'd recommend sticking to the baked goods and sweet treats only.

This is my go to bakery while in nyc. So many options, and the many times that I have gone and brought friends and tried new things, I have not had a single thing that is not absolutely delicious. Always so friendly and I love that they have seating in the back as well as restrooms. Definitely check this place out!

Looking for a spot to grab a quick breakfast after visiting the Summit at One Vanderbilt, I stopped at Heritage after seeing all the amazing looking pastries through their window. Plenty of stuff to choose from, my son and I got the apple crumble danish, plie au chocolat, chocolate eclair, and a matcha tea latte. The standouts were the flaky danish topped with sweet mound of apples and powdered sugar and the plie au chocolat with its delicate and carmelized exterior.

The pasta here is soooo good. As is the bread and butter with oil brought to the table. The burrata appetizer was so fresh and delicious. The ambiance is warm yet hip. Live the decor. Very cool place to grab a bite while in Manhattan.

Yumyumyum. The staff are so friendly! They'll do a great job helping you pick out the best little dessert. The dessert is SO GOOD. They should make a massive birthday cake version because I'd eat up the whole thing. The atmosphere was light and welcoming, but the vibe didn't stand out too much from a typical bakery.

I was walking by and thought I'd stop in to see what pastries they had. The staff recommended the chocolate decadence which was very rich. Super excited to go back to try more! The restaurant was very clean.

Wow, this is the best cruffin I've ever had! I didn't even know such a thing existed - flaky tender layers of croissant, with a generous blob of pistachio custard inside (not stiff pastry cream; it's a yummy not-too-sweet soft custard), and topped with a nutty pistachio crumble. This is a truly amazing food. They're nothing like the greasy, cloying cronuts of yesteryear. And look at the fresh ripe peach slices on those danishes! This is unbelievable! For the people who live near here and have been eating these all along - you are so lucky! This stuff doesn't even exist where I live. I am definitely getting more pastries next time I'm in NYC!

There are 3 bakeries within a door or 2 of each other on this block and this one is the best also supported by the long line. The pastry was excellent and disappeared fast.

Great place by the park! Had a variety of savory and sweet pastries. I got the olive bread, cheese stick, and blueberry muffin. Bread and stick were so flavorful. The olive bread had plenty of filling and the aroma was incredible. The cheese bread was also a perfect amount of caramelized cheese. The blueberry muffin was perfectly moist and scrumptious. Def recommend for a picnic snack on your way to Bryant park! The employees are very kind and helpful in deciding what to get!

Food and deserts amazing! Service amazing! Ambience amazing! That's why I'm coming back ;)

Stopped in for a cold beverage... walked out with pure gold!!! What a terrific place to commit carboicide. Everything looked fresh, crispy, and delicious; from the variety of croissants, to the cookies, and to the bread that was just staring me in the face. This morning, I started the day with a nice cold Arnold Palmer and a cumin cheese stick... yum! I'm also going to throw in the fact that my server was super nice, sociable, and a pleasure to meet. The bakery is absolutely charming and smells amazing but it's best that you take your baked goods and beverages to go and find a seat across the street at Bryant Park or the library as it can get quite busy and noisy. So good... glad I came a for a visit. PS - I returned 20 minutes later with my best friend and shared the Feta, Mushroom, Kale Quiche as-well-as an Orange Cream Brioche. YUM!!!! Check Them Out @heritagegrandbakery

Very good bakery! I loved their vanilla and pistachio cruffins - very delicious, they put just enough cream in those! Also enjoyed their chocolate eclair, Montebello is a nice gluten free dessert. Vanilla millefeuille reminded me of napoleon cake, tender and not too sweet. Overall, enjoyed everything! I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves sweets

Pastries are good, coffee is not. Pistachio cruffin 10/10 - I love all things pistachio. Flaky on the outside, pistachio cream goodness on the inside. Definitely a must for any nut lover. Chocolate chip walnut 8/10 - I'm more of a soft cookie gal. This cookie is a bit on the harder side. Still tasty but will try a different one next time for more gooeyness. Coffee 0/10 - You would think they would invest more in their coffee because isn't that what you pair with pastries? Their cafe au lait straight up tasted like milky burnt water. After a quick walk around Bryant Park, I had to go to Blue Bottle next door to get real coffee. Interior decoration is pretty and who doesn't love the aesthetic of a glass counter stuffed to the brim with pastries. Delicious for your eyeballs.

A new bakery by Bryant Park! We stopped in for a quick bite after the summit one Vanderbilt building experience Limited seating but we were able to squeeze into a small space at the counter ---ham & gruyere quiche (definitely ask them to warm it up for you): perfect little bite with so much flaky cheesy goodness ---plie au chocolat: also flaky, although I think the bakery that used to be at this location did it a little better If I still went to school across the park, I'd probably be here often to make my way across their menu

This bakery definitely got the aesthetics and customer service right. Upon entry, we were greeted with an enthusiastic staff member. Who made sure to inquire about if I wanted anything more after choosing one pastry after the other, to which I said yes each time, until I said, "if you continue to ask, I will continue to buy so, I am all set...lol." I made sure to add to their tip jar! Unfortunately for me, most of the pastries looked better than they tasted, in my opinion. The lemon poppyseed muffin was lacking on the combination of lemon zest and the poppyseed flavor. It just tasted like a regular muffin with poppyseed. The Kugelhopf only had one raisin in the whole pastry. A Traditional Gugelhupf always contains some dried fruit, usually raisins, and sometimes other dried fruits. So it felt like just eating dough. Finally, the blueberry muffin, also left more to be desired and that's strange for something that is a staple. I think the cuteness of the venue and my desire to have amazing flavor unfold in my mouth was just over showered by the pastries just being blah except for the Praline Bliss, which definitely lived up to its name. It was milk chocolate and hazelnut goodness. Although, this was my first impression, I did see that a Tea Service is "coming soon" so may consider trying that out.

This place is just beautiful inside! I have to start by saying that. It's super casual but has such a warm and appealing decor that you feel special sitting there. I came with a party of 5 and ordered the mezze platter which was really delicious but a small portion for all of us to share. The dips in the platter were delicious and the bread was warm and freshly baked but it was a nice amount for lunch. I was torn between 2 salads and the waiter was very sure in his decision when I asked his opinion! I went with his suggestion- mixed greens, tomatoes, avocado, red onion with a nice (but heavy handed) vinaigrette and added grilled shrimp (there were 5 of them). I'd come back and definitely try their baked goods and if someone else paid, probably their food again. It's typical pricing for a midtown sit down lunch but smaller portions for sure.

I think this is a great place if you like the pistachio muffins! But branch out and try their other pastries! Their drinks are also good too. Wonderful staff! Definitely try this place out and see

Hit this spot real quick on the morning before the rest of the group was awake and ready to go. It was so early and at this place it was just point and buy for me at this point in the morning. I don't have names for everything we tried but 1 thing that really stood out was the chocolate chip cookie. That was pretty top tier for me. Something about it seemed so simple yet elevated but I can't put my finger on it. Also I think they do it in a mold or something because the shape was too perfect. Some of their other pastries and baked goods were decent but the one kinda disappointing thing was Kouign-Amann. The last time I got a Kouign-Amann, they had this sweet sugary hardened like glaze and bottom layer. I look for that in all Kouign-Amanns now and so this place just didn't hold up in that regard. The woman working the front counter was so nice and answered all of my questions. The interior is so nice and clean. I loved that they had a large display for all of the pastries too. In all seriousness though, get the chocolate chip cookie.

Earlier this month, my company hosted a private dinner at Heritage Grand Bakery's private room on their Mezzanine level. Our experience was absolutely delightful from start to finish. Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh the food was. The Margherita pizza starter (homemade with fresh dough in-house), salads, and crispy salmon were particular hits. The service was impeccable and Maria and her colleagues ensured a seamless flow throughout the entire dinner. We are also very appreciative to Patricia and her team for accommodating a custom room layout and dinner menu for us. If the food and service alone wasn't enough to praise, the stunning ambience and decor whisk you away to a Greek island in summer. Heritage Grand Bakery is conveniently located by Bryant Park and has a full bar and main dining room seating area on their first floor. Thank you for taking care of us!

I loved this restaurant for their ham & Gruyère croissants and cumin cheese stick. They have variety selections of pastries, desserts, and salad/cold food. It was nicely designed bakery and I recommend it if you like pastries.

We both ordered Pistachio Cruffins and absolutely LOVED them. Universal praise for this savory/sweet delight. If you haven't ordered one you have to try it on your next visit. I also ordered a cappuccino with almond milk while my breakfast companion ordered the Tropical Green Iced Tea. My cappuccino was outstanding, which was a welcome surprise given prior Yelp comments on the coffee quality. Maybe their drip coffee is lacking, but the cappuccino is a solid and safe bet. The Tropical Green Iced Tea however was a disappointment. My companion, who lives for green iced tea, described it as tasting "burnt." Not sure what that tastes like but he felt it was a big letdown. We had hoped to score breakfast sandwiches but they were either sold out (at 8:45 a.m.) or they don't sell them. I'm not sure. Finally, a constructive criticism of this location for the uninitiated: it's difficult at best to discern how and where any lines form - and we weren't the only ones confused. Management needs either better signage or position the velvet ropes in a manner that makes clear what line(s) form where. It was chaos. With all the above in mind, this is definitely worth a visit and an investment of your dollars for delightful pastries (at least the pistachio cruffin for sure) and a tasty cappuccino.

Service gives it the star, the pastry I had was terrible! Came by for the pistachio curffin and it was awful. Sprinkled with sugar on the outside, the cream inside was tasteless - very fake pistachio cream. I won't come here again.

Was staying at the hotel above and decided to come down to takeaway some yummy looking pastries at this very nicel bakery....or what I would better describe as a Disneyland of pastries:) Everything looked so amazing, looked so absolutely delicious, and that addictive scent of freshly baked pastries and breads.....oh my! Ok, so I'm not much of a sweet tooth, but will never say no to a good Almond Croissant.....and not far behind, a blueberry muffin.....and as luck would have it, they offered both of these, and they looked soooooooo gooooood! Service was friendly, quick, and we had our takeaway goodies back to our hotel lounge to enjoy with some hot coffee and tea. Oh my, again......both the almond croissant and blueberry muffin were so delicious, so satisfying, and just a perfect start to the day.....especially as we had planned to do A LOT of walking around the city later that morning. Would love to re-visit this bakery if ever we get the chance to visit NY again in the future,

Fine French Bakery in close proximity to Bryant Park, hosting some of the finest pastries, breads, sandwiches, paired with their signature coffees and teas. Dine in or takeout with optional choice of enjoying your scrumptious meal at the park. Our selected pastries and iced coffees were absolutely divine. Excellent customer service provided by Monique!

This review is solely based on their ispahan...so delicious! A crisp raspberry macaron shell with fresh raspberries, chopped lychee and a rose buttercream. It's light but very flavorful.

The cakes are decent for the price, especially for the area, the pastries aren't the best, but not bad. Croissants for example lack the authentic buttery taste. But it's a convenient location so I'd like it to stay around.

Hotel was nearby which made this a great spot for us for croissant and espresso. There was a line but the staff kept it moving. Went with cappuccino the first day and a latte the second, and each time, a chocolate croissant. Solid milk espresso drinks. The chocolate croissant was good with flaky layers although I wished there was a bit more chocolate! Solid spot if you are nearby Bryant Park!

The staff was pleasant and although there was a bit of a line it moved quickly. I ordered a few croissants for my family and decided on the mushroom quiche for myself. The pastries looked beautiful in the display but the flavors had me wanting more.

Fabulous place to get a bite or a whole meal. Staff is awesome and very friendly, a big reason I like going back to this establishment. The croissants are stuffed with filling and are a must in my opinion. Coffee is fresh and the quiche is delicious! Fresh juice for that extra splash of nutrients and I was ready to tackle the city as I made my way to the airport.

Great bread. They use heritage grains for their flour and you can taste the difference. They really take pride in their baked products. One of the most delicious bakeries in Manhattan.

Heritage Grand Bakery was several doors down from the hotel where I stayed on my last visit to New York so I popped in two times. There's not much seating but a companion and I were able to find a couple of seats and have coffee comfortably at 9:30 on a Friday morning. I highly recommend the fudge brownie. It's massive (I ate it across three sittings), incredibly fudgy, loaded with walnuts, and everything you want in a classic American brownie. The tiny bags of mini cookies are a nice treat. I recommend the ginger and lemon. Heritage Grand has all manner of pastries, breads, pizzas, and salads. I didn't partake in any of these but I'm guessing they're good. If you're looking for a stellar bakery near Bryant Park, this is the place.

The space is well lit, lively, clean. There's seating in the back - basically at the coffee bar and a row along the wall, maybe able to seat approximately 10 people. Service was pretty good. I got a plain croissant to serve as a baseline test. Light with a good crumb, though not very crisp (it was late morning so maybe that's why). Flavor was decent. For the price and area I think the croissant here is decent overall. Solid middle of the road. Same goes for the Kouign amann. I think overall for my taste, the laminated pastries could go a little longer, but I prefer stronger bakes. I had a pour over of one of the single origin coffees. They use cone shaped paper filter brewers similar to chemexes. They weigh everything which helps with consistency. That said, the coffee was just alright, they probably have room to dial in the grind sizes a little more. The other pastries and cakes looked really appealing so I'd consider coming back.

＊ Pistachio Cruffin The pistachio filling was creamy and complemented well with the flaky and buttery pastry layers. My fav item out of all the baked goods I purchased. I might return for their cruffins. ＊ Pistachio Honey Croissant Tasted mediocre comparing to the cruffin. Apparently there wasn't enough fillings to highlight the pistachio flavor. Read some reviews saying their croissants were stale but luckily mine was alright. ＊ Kouign Amann A kouign amann in a delicate presentation. The texture was pretty ethereal, and the caramelized top wasn't cloyingly sweet. Worth a try if you are nearby! ＊ Paris Brest, Vanilla Mille Feuille The vanilla mille feuille and the paris brest were good enough to satisfy my instant sweet cravings yet nothing absolutely knocked my socks off. I ate both desserts at the night I bought and didn't put them into refrigerator, so I expected them to taste fresher. I thought the pastry layer of mille feuille would be flakier but it wasn't. The vanilla custard creme was quite solid, while I prefer a lighter texture. For the paris brest, the praline-flavored cream of the paris brest was nutty but also on a firmer side. The pastry shell was a bit hard so it took me some efforts to cut lol. My Recommendation: Pistachio Cruffin Worth Returning ? Maybe. They really know how to exhibit their pastries and desserts in bright light so it is hard to resist the temptation

Have come here twice now and each time have gotten the pistachio cruffin both times. It's perfection. Crispy on the outside, flaky and soft on the inside. An excellent amount of pistachio cream that is not too sweet, nutty, and so good. Have also had some savory goods which are great too

Heritage Grand Bakery is located near Bryant Park They offer a large variety of sandwiches (was very tempted to grab one of the baguette sandwiches) and baked goods. Kids went with the macarons which were quite good while I went with the cruffin. The pistachio cruffin came highly recommended - I found it to be flavorful but a tad too dry for my liking. You should still try it as it's possible cruffins are not my thing. Overall, it seems like a nice spot to stop in to indulge in some sweets while you're in the area.

Was walking by, around 9pm on a Sunday, and hadn't eaten dinner yet so stopped in and asked if they had anything to-go. I had the sopressata pizza, which was ready in about 5 minutes and was great. The service was a bit disorganized, but the interior looked very cool. Might come by for a drink sometime

Vraiment délicieuse!! We were in the city for 5 days and we visited everyday, the pastries, granola and Yougourt were delicious and fresh. Not big like in Europe, the right size. We were not amazed by their coffee and that's why I'm not giving 5 stars. You should come and forget about chain patisseries.. baguettes also amazing! Service can improve as some of them are very welcoming and some don't care to offer to warm up bread or do extra...

Great little bakery with an elegant atmosphere and very tasty pastries. The two workers were also quite friendly.

This bakery is near my work so I'll pop in every now and then to grab the occasional dessert. At this point, I've tried nearly every baked good and I can say that it's okay. Some things are good (passionfruit cheesecake, darjeeling tea tart) while other things are average (kouign amann, macarons) and others are below average (their matcha is terrible). One element that has been consistent through all my visits is their mediocre service. All the workers seem pretty miserable to be there and when I ask a question they seem seconds away from rolling their eyes.

Food/Drink: so many yummy + pretty pastries and coffee drinks are solid and perfect to order with the pastries!! I've tried 8-10 of them now and have never been disappointed with any Service: Friendly! Atmosphere: If heaven were a place on earth..

Delicious pastries. Pretty large in size, so they are filling and not a bad price for what you get!

Nice place, don't expect a nice place and a good service , but the pastry is awesome. The best one in NY so far

Truly great coffee and pastries! Hard to find a shop that excels at both. Small space at the back to dine in and the service is good and quick.

Marcos is the best and makes my iced espresso coffee perfect every time!!! the manager and most of staff are great and very efficient. Must try spot in midtown.

I come here for breakfast once in a while. It's conveniently located right by Bryant Park in midtown. I mostly get the pastries and they are generally good. However, the biggest reason why I only come once in a while is because it's very pricey. A ham and cheese croissant + an iced coffee will set you back almost $15. I just can't justify spending that kind of money on breakfast every day.

Very good bakery right next to Bryant Park. Great way to start the day with a nice pastry and tea or coffee. Selection of pastries is very good. Presentation is delightful. Prices are NYC average. $4 croissant. $4 green tea. Lost a star due to really overfilling the croissant. Had the pistachio croissant and am used to a light coat of crème to not overpowering the delicate pastry. This was packed so full the croissant felt like a brick and the crème ran out of it. Way too much. Had to actually scrape the cream out which left the inside soggy. Also had a chocolate croissant and it was a much much smaller amount. Overall a good experience. 2 crossiants and 2 greens teas = $27

Want to take advantage of some beautiful NYC weather? Grab a pastry from Heritage Bakery and walk 2 feet over to Bryant Park to enjoy it! This bakery had a Parisian feel with a beautiful array of sweets. Not the cheapest dessert, but definitely worth it once in a while. We got a Strawberry Rubarb Cheesecake and it was actually perfect! The cheesecake was light and airy in between layers of rubarb and flavorful crumble. To top it off, it was coated in a delicate layer of white chocolate - chef's kiss to this masterpiece! We also got an almond croissant. It was pretty tasty with a subtle almond flavor in between flaky goodness. Perfect for someone with a sweet tooth! Would come back if studying near Bryant Park!
