Excellent brunch place with delicious food, total carb heaven! Everything we would get again, no misses. Highly recommended having a reservation if you want to dine in esp on a weekend as the spot isn’t that big. Also it’s possible they run out of things towards the end of brunch service so go earlier if there’s certain things you want to try!

I adore crispy heaven! The only place in New York I’ve been able to find a Spanish bocadillo and other European style sandwiches. High-quality ingredients, impeccable service, and a lovely atmosphere. I’ve also had the braised short rib sandwich, the side potatoes, and coffee and all are amazing.
Definitely make sure you have a reservation, especially if you are hoping to dine on a weekend! The restaurant is pretty small and may not be suitable for big parties.

About the service: Cassandra is very friendly, attentive, and the kind of person every waitress should be. I loved the service: warm and welcoming!
About the coffee: Michael is the guy who makes the coffee, omg sooo good! I ordered a cappuccino and a macchiato, and they were simply amazing! I would come back just for his coffee! My husband ordered a mocha, and I tried it, the taste is like pure chocolate, no sugar… I loved it.
About the food: We ordered the bread sampler, eggs, and bacon. Lemon pancake with cherry. I can say the bread is fresh, fluffy, and if you live in or are visiting NYC, you need to eat at this place.
I’m from Boston, and every time I go to NYC, I’ll stop by for bread and coffee!

They've won awards for their bread and it's easy to see why. Every piece in the sampler was excellent, especially with the housemade butter. Owner was super nice and it was cool to meet her and hear her story. She has some unique Czech style dishes and I loved the gazpacho, chicken salad to eat with the bread, the snake river farms wagyu and butter folded scrambled eggs and the Turkish poached eggs with all the fresh herbs. Dip the potatoes on the steak dish into the green yogurt on the Turkish eggs! Chocolate chip cookie also excellent. Plateware seriously adorable and great cappuccino.

Our server was incredibly accommodating, kindly offering us a larger table despite it being just the two of us, as the restaurant wasn’t crowded. The food was delicious with generous portions, larger than the typical NYC standard, which we greatly appreciated. While the flavors won’t leave you speechless, the food is excellent, and I’d gladly recommend this spot to anyone.

Second time coming over. First time we had the Wagyu Burger and the Hot Tacos but this time we went for a pizza Mortadela Burrata and the Lamb Chop. Food is really good and can't forget how the Lamb Chop were melting in my mouth. This was top notch and will get them well deserved critics soon enough <3
Since it's also a boulangerie (bread maker) they serve all meat a free basket of couple bread types with some nice butter.
Fel and her team are just awesome, the second time we came, even if it was busy night they managed to get a table as a walk-in. The staff is well attentioned without overdoing it. Fel is a great owner that really care of catering great food and great experience to her clientele and don't hesitate to step back behind the pizza oven if she's missing staff! The spot is located in Soho but does not look any other. Would recommend to anyone in the neighborhood!!!

Our new favorite restaurant!
We are SO happy we found this fabulous restaurant. Everything served here tastes like it is sourced from the finest ingredients making each dish stand out. Think fresh farmer markets and fine French cheeses. The ingredients are the star, to me, as uniquely bright and fresh.
From the cheeses, salads, eggs, hamburgers and brioche French toast… I could go on and on.
Crispy Haven is located next door to My Wife Frieda & hands down I’d choose Crispy Haven!
The prices are fair, the dishes are prepared with great care and the quality of the food is EXCELLENT! We’ve eaten here for breakfast and dinner. Each meal has been delicious and memorable.
Additionally, we’ve ordered delivery (as well) and it too did not disappoint.
Overall, a must go restaurant. It’s a total gem!!!

Again another low-key gem that everyone should try at least once!
Came here out of curiosity from an Instagram recommendation and left completely satisfied and happy!
Their Steak and Eggs are completely to die for! Perfectly cooked and roasted with a side of scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes to make sure even the biggest of eaters are full!
Another recommendation would be the Spicy Wagyu sandwich which was delicious with the baguette bread and slow-cooked meat and veggies.
The servers here are also extremely courteous and respectful and make sure that you're completely comfortable and enjoying your meal.
The ambience outside and inside is both soothing and lovely to make sure you get the most you paid for.
Definitely a must visit!

Nice bakery and restaurant.
The service is quick and accommodating. When we came in there were plenty of tables and seats. I ordered the chicken schnitzel, and my wife ordered an avocado toast.
Both orders were good. I did see a bakery in the back, and everything is made fresh.

Absolutely loved this place. The European menu is simple in the best way, with dishes that feel comforting and homemade. The vibe is warm and home-like, perfect after a day of shopping in Soho or even just a quick stop for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The staff is incredibly friendly, the bread is amazingly fresh, and you can really taste the heart that goes into everything. Definitely worth checking out.

A Perfect Spot for Brunch Lovers!
This brunch place is a hidden gem! The sausage was juicy and full of flavor, and the bread was fresh and perfectly toasted. But the real star of the meal was the pancake — hands down the best I’ve ever had. It was soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet.
If you’re looking for a cozy place to enjoy a satisfying brunch, this spot definitely won’t disappoint. I’ll be coming back for those pancakes again soon!

It was really nice, the menus, tasty of dishes, servers' friendliness.
The best baguette of 2024 is real with homemade butter👍🏻 The salad was fresh and egg sandwich was really tasty. But as you know the baguette, it is soft on the inside but crispy on the outside, so it inevitably gets a little messy😅
Anyway I would love to visit here for other menus and bread.

I have discovered this place very recently. Definitely a hidden gem! Tried them baguette, soup, pancakes and sausage plate. All great. Baguette is genuinely good, no wonder they were voted as Best NYC baguette 2024. Pancakes are amazing, the sweetness is just right, well balanced. Sausage plate is also good, something that I would order again and again.

Possibly the best French toast I’ve ever had, crisp on the outside soft and flavorful on the inside, but not too sweet. I could have done without the whipped cream, but berries were fresh and plentiful. We all had something different and all loved what was ordered.
Of course the star of the meal is the amazing variety of bread. Fantastic - some hearty and seedy, some grainy, some basic, all freshly baked and delicious.
Can’t wait to return.

So happy to find Crispy Heaven- a uniquely wonderful restaurant and bakery that's truly special. From the moment we walked in the door for breakfast today, we were warmly and graciously welcomed. And we had an absolutely delicious breakfast- great specialty coffees, Turkish Eggs with breads baked by THE winner of the Best baguette in NYC award in 2024! They even make their own butter! Owner Fel and her lovely team pay attention to all the details- ingredients, presentation, flavor and the place is full of heart and soul. We look forward to trying the other parts of the menu too. Thank you Fel and Crispy Heaven for all the goodness you put out into the world! :)

Got the egg salad sandwich. So so good. I added tomatoes and cornichons to add a little something to it. There was soooo much filling. They definitely did NOT hold back when putting in the egg salad, which was much appreciated. Cute spot and the waitress was the sweetest. Went for brunch (needed a table for 2) without a reservation on a Saturday morning and still got a table asap!

I ascended to carb heaven.
For the absolute best baguettes, breads, sandos, brunch—Crispy Heaven is that girl.
The bacon egg roll is my go-to on a Sunday morning. Crispy, salty bacon baked INTO the bread sandwiched between a healthy amount of butter, fried egg, cheese & the juiciest tomato. Simple but made perfect. I hope they expand one day…

Crispy Heaven Bakery stands out in the NYC area for its exceptional bread, butter, and jam. The bread's crispy exterior gives way to a soft, palatable interior. The lemon ricotta pancakes are replete with flavor and extremely tasty. The homemade fruits are a highlight, and I enjoyed them immensely, even taking some from my son to enjoy with my bread and butter. The sausage plate is another standout. I purchased some bread to take home and expect to return soon. Very soon.
