Somedays Bakery - Astoria

Bummed about this place because it’s in a super convenient spot for me. The pastries really don’t justify the price which is a shame, the concepts are fun but the execution really isn’t there for me. I got a corn pastry that was $13 and just okay- on me for not checking but definitely doesn’t have me in a rush to try again. The photo is of a spinach pinwheel which was fine but pretty dry. I don’t mind paying for quality and exciting food but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. There are other better places around for coffee as well. They had soft serve last summer which I might go back for honestly.

Pain Au Chocolate is what you need to know! Here you will find the butteriest, flakiest, most delicious pain au chocolate you will ever try. We had it early in the morning and everything about was great. We also had their S’mores cookies and they were good, but the croissant makes everything else taste questionable.

LOVE this placeee! they have the coolest combinations of flavors to choose from on top of classic pastries with a little twist. everything looked so delicious. we got a hazelnut chocolate pastry and pistachio and raspberry one. the pistachio was on another level! and they were so nice! they even let us try their seasonal hot chocolate soft serve and we ended getting that too! really yummy <3

Okay. First, the pastries are pretty darn tasty. The pistachio and raspberry lattice is very, very good. I would even wager it's good enough to warrant the steep price. The pain au chocolat was fine, the black sesame and tahini croissant was okay. Maybe I should have opted for a plain or savory item because, while I was good with them, I wasn't blown away. I also think they are not for everyday consumption because the prices are higher than many bakeries in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Again, it was good, and the service was good, but I wasn't wowed... Continuing the quest for the best chocolate chip cookie, I got one. Again, it was good. Like everything, it's fine, but I don't think I would go out of my way to get these pastries again.

Visited Somedays Bakery during my recent trip to NY and was blown away with how fresh and flaky the pretzel pastry was. The selection to choose from was wonderful and we took our treats down to the waterfront to enjoy with a view. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!
