Supermoon Bakehouse is the go-to Lower East Side bakery for mind-blowing cruffins, over-the-top pastries, and seasonal doughnuts that are a must-try.
"Supermoon on the Lower East Side does all pastries perfectly—that’s kind of their schtick—and donuts are no exception. Like the rest of their menu, the flavors change on a weekly basis, but expect an incredibly light yeast donut with fillings like honey goat cheese and pistachio cream. They're all a lot without being too much." - molly fitzpatrick, carlo mantuano, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang
"The peak of Supermoon’s croissant looks like the ridge of the Matterhorn, with rounded-off corners and a sheen that you’d hope to see on the teeth of a Toddlers in Tiaras contestant. When you bite into this Lower East Side croissant, the pastry matrix gives way to a satisfying tacky chew, but then puffs and springs back up with the power of its own structural integrity. It’s a serious crumb-producer, but the toasty, buttery flavor more than makes up for any mess." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman
"You won't find a single baked good at the Lower East Side’s Supermoon Bakehouse that isn't technically flawless, so if you're nerdy for laminated pastries, you're going to love this place. They have a rotating menu of croissants, cruffins, eclairs, doughnuts, and a few savory items like the best sausage roll in NYC and some pizza/focaccia hybrids. They rely on a Supreme-style marketing strategy of swaggy packaging and weekly pastry drops, so expect consistently long lines on the weekends. They also make very good soft serve ice cream." - willa moore, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
"Known for its over-the-top stunt pastries, Supermoon’s round, filled doughnuts are worth the hype, made with springy, chewy yeasted dough. Flavors change weekly, but a now-famous doughnut was inspired by the super blood moon, made with red brioche dough, raspberry jelly and glaze, dehydrated strawberry, pink meringue, and red and white chocolate pieces." - Eater Staff
"Supermoon Bakehouse is recognized for its over-the-top, colorful croissants available in flavors such as Kouign Brûlée and rosemary and blueberry." - Juliet Izon
