ELLA CROWN Bakehouse

I am very picky when it comes to cookies, and I honestly didn’t think there was any serious competition for Levain’s anywhere in NYC. But a couple of months ago I stumbled upon Ella Crown, a tiny new bakery on Atlantic Avenue and decided to give it a try (I couldn’t resist the delicious scent the bakery was giving off!). I am so glad I decided to give it a try - the cookies are absolutely amazing! Fresh out of the oven, still warm, gooey and soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside - perfection. I tried chocolate chip, and I went back to try the dark chocolate almond. The chocolate chip cookie is my favorite. They also have mini cheesecakes which I’ll try next time I stop by. Nice touch: you get a small coffee with the purchase of a cookie, and the coffee doesn’t suck.

The matcha & white chocolate is outrageously good. Very nice people too. Definitely recommend!

New gem in town! DELICIOUS and soft humongous cookie - I got the matcha white chocolate macadamia. So so good. Tasty iced latte (not bitter at all, even without any added sugar), perfect for the blistering NY heat. Owners and staff are really friendly as well, excellent service. Must try if you’re in the mood for something sweet, in this super cool neighborhood by the waterfront!
