French-Asian bakery with artful fruit-shaped pastries
"The Flatiron Croissant Think about everything you love in a croissant. All those airy, buttery layers that crumple under the weight of a finger. Now take all those things, crush them, and dunk them in chocolate. You’ll find this trend at various places around the city—here it's called the Flatiron croissant. An obvious play on Salswee’s location in Flatiron, it doesn’t taste terrible, but it does feel a little disrespectful to all that beautiful laminated dough. " - willa moore
"This trendy bakery in Flatiron has glazed mousse cakes that look like shiny fruit, and a caseful of croissants with different sweet and savory fillings and toppings—as well as pressed flat croissants dipped in chocolate. Through doors fitted with baguette-shaped handles, you’ll find a spare room with white marble counters." - will hartman
"If you randomly passed Salswee, a bakery in Flatiron, you might think it was a new, upgraded Apple Store. The earth-toned space has a long marble display case where the pastries live, and an elaborate coffee-making contraption in the back. There, someone makes fancy caffeinated beverages that sound better than they taste, like a sesame latte that's basically just a regular iced latte with some vaguely sesame-flavored sediment. The pastries—croissants, flattened croissants, and tiny fruit-shaped mousse cakes—are solid, but nothing you need to go out of your way for. The fruit-shaped cakes do get points for being aggressively adorable though, so keep that in mind if you're really just in the treat game for the photos." - Willa Moore
"Salswee Bakery is coming soon to 180 Fifth Avenue, near West 23rd Street, in Flatiron with viennoiserie, French pastries, along with sandwiches, and espresso drinks." - Emma Orlow
"Food truck the Wedge serves many of the classics you’d expect to find at a New York deli, like a chopped cheese and B.E.C. sandwiches. Owner Gerry Meehan also offers fried chicken sandwiches and smash burgers." - Erin Perkins
