"Mah-Ze-Dahr makes perfectly folded croissants, pillowy, cream-filled brioche donuts, chocolate-studded cookies, and a great cheesecake, plus a few savory bites. These treats are as delicious as they are elegant, and there’s plenty of seating to be found around this counter-service location inside the Brookfield Place food court. The bakery used to have a couple of locations, but this is the only one remaining currently." - Sonal Shah
"The Brookfield Place location, which opened in 2022, remains open. After the West Village storefront was evicted, staffers were offered the option to move to this location and the bakery redirected some pending pickups there; it is cited as one of only two locations left in the city. The brand has paused online orders temporarily (noting they “will resume shipping next week” on its site) while pursuing a larger production kitchen in Brooklyn and planning future reopenings." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Known for a highly regarded cheesecake that’s recommended for anyone seeking a classic, well-executed holiday cheesecake." - Monica Burton
"While the soft serve itself at Mah Ze Dahr is definitely good, the toppings and cones set this place apart (the flavors change every few weeks, and might include things like espresso chip and vanilla). The housemade waffle cone is thin but never gets soggy, and the toppings, like broken pieces of their chewy, salty chocolate chip cookies, are so tasty you’ll want to ask for a separate cup of them on the side. Don’t do that - just get a whole cookie instead." - hannah albertine, emma, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
"This pastry is equal parts disorienting and fantastic. The fresh ingredients burst with an undeniable flavor you wouldn’t typically find in a breakfast pastry. From thick slices of caramelized tomatoes that are sweet enough to be dessert to creamy goat cheese that’s rich enough to own a few Teslas, this galette might just knock you off your feet. Not to mention, the flaky golden-brown crust which is perfectly flaky all the way around. As for the second descriptor, it all tasted fantastic." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano
