Worth the trip! We had breakfast and ordered a cortadito, and a croissant with “egg” and “sausage” (everything is plant based) and it was magnificent. Brought some pastries home for later, can’t wait to have them.

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so extremely special!! My husband and I along with our 50 guests loved our 2 tiered strawberry banana cake with vanilla frosting. The entire thing was gone in less than 20 minutes. The designer was very thoughtful and called us to make sure the inscription was just right, and we sincerely appreciated that extra step especially these days. They also put on a wonderful topper for us at the last second which was spectacular- ours didn’t show up in the mail on time. Thanks again Le Petit! AND don’t be mistaken - I only got my wedding cake here because I truly recommend this place for all of their DELICIOUS and unique pastries and custom cakes! I have been many times and have enjoyed matcha, donuts and croissants galore….please don’t ever close!!!

I found Le Petit Monstre while searching for vegan cakes in NYC to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. We're not vegan, but my boyfriend is lactose intolerant, so I wanted to find something he could enjoy comfortably without lactaid. There were many bakeries offering vegan cakes in NYC, but most didn’t offer much in the way of customization. After days of research, I found that Le Petit Monstre stood out as the best for custom cake design. I reached out to the bakery and worked with Dominique, the cake designer and coordinator, who helped me through the entire design process. Honestly, I didn’t have a clear vision at first, but Dominique asked thoughtful questions and offered suggestions that helped me figure out what I truly wanted. Throughout it all, Dominique was incredibly patient, creative, and considerate with all my ideas and requests. We eventually decided on a vegan red velvet cake with vegan cream cheese frosting, topped with raspberries and a playful atomic theme design—a perfect combination of my boyfriend’s favorites. When we picked up the cake, we had two unforgettable surprises. First, when we opened the box, we were amazed by how beautiful the cake looked—the deep green color was stunning, and the atomic design made my boyfriend laugh and smile, feeling both amused and deeply touched. Second, when we tasted the cake, we were blown away. It was our first time trying a vegan cake, and it was honestly better than most non-vegan cakes we’ve had. We ended up finishing more than half of it right away. I’ll absolutely be ordering again to try other flavors! I highly recommend Le Petit Monstre for anyone who’s lactose intolerant, vegan, or simply looking for a delicious and beautifully designed cake. Thank you again, Dominique, for your amazing support and the unforgettable cake!

I would stick with the pastries here, its what they are really good at. The food was not great and they forgot my order AND drinks. After 20 minutes I reminded him about our drinks which he promptly made. Same with the food. Once I told him that only one dish had come out 15 minutes back he had the other one made on the fly for me. Pistachio croissant- 8/10 Koign amann- 8.5/10 Breakfast taco-6/10 Blt-5/10 didnt like this, cheese and bacon were bad Matcha with pistachio milk- 5/10 super bitter and not frothy

Le Petit Monstre offers an extraordinary experience with its croissants, so much so that you’d doubt they were plant based. Having explored lots of bakeries, I can confidently say that this one excels, even with the most intricate baked goods. As a plant-based cook, I was truly impressed by the taste and texture of their breads. The kitchen and dining areas are spotlessly maintained, and the patrons are respectful, providing plenty of seating for writing an essay on a laptop or attending an e-meeting. The staff is accommodating, and friendly. However, there is room for improvement in the bathrooms, where soap is missing, and the paper towels are actually food napkins that dissolve quickly in water. Providing actual hand towels would be a welcome improvement for paying customers.

Great all vegan bakery with cooked food also! Counter staff is great. Ramp to enter and ADA gender neutral restroom. As much as my husband and I find the food here delicious, when we had Le Petite Monstre cater our desserts for our wedding celebration in August 2024 (for approx 200 people), there was a huge failure related to food delivery / pick-up. My husband had stated in an email that we would pick up the desserts on the way to the event, which was confirmed via email. However, while we were en route to pick up the desserts before our party, the desserts were dropped off outside on our patio (since we were not home). Thankfully, our great neighbors were able to bring the MANY boxes to the party for us. Unsure how this miscommunication occurred and in the aftermath, they did not try to rectify the situation beyond an apology, while also not even suggesting that they should refund the delivery fee that they had charged us, until it was requested of them. :/ So all in all, great food and staff behind the counter are great, but I would be extremely diligent related to catering.

One of (if not) the best vegan bakeries in the city. This is a spot that even omnivores will love - the baked goods are top level. We had sweet pastries, coffee, and sausage, egg & cheese on croissants. Everything was heavenly, the SEC croissants with house made garlic confit alioli were especially divine. The place is large and has good vibes and all the staff were super kind! Will definitely be back!
