Grandaisy Bakery

I really want to like this place because I come here often as it is close to work, but it disappoints me every time. The coffee is subpar and the sweet bakery items are okay but not great. Most of the flatbreads are good but the sandwiches are overpriced for what you get, and aside from the egg and asparagus breakfast sandwich (and the flatbreads), they refuse to heat up the sandwiches, stating it’s «against their policy.» I’m all for sticking to your mission as a business even if a policy is unpopular, but at the same time, I just don’t want a cold panino and the refusal strikes me as odd. Of course, I wouldn’t give a business a poor review just for that policy alone. Additionally, the staff are generally nice but unprofessional and inattentive; they goof off behind the counter to the point of forgetfulness. Today is the second day in a row (there have been other times this has happened as well) where they’ve warmed up a flatbread for me in the back and then forgotten about it until I said something. The space is not clean; there are crumbs everywhere and I’ve often seen trash left on the bar. It’s always littered with newspapers. It makes me not want to be there.

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and flatbreads. They have a lot of good vegetarian options too. I was pleasantly surprised because most breakfast sandwiches always have meat. They use very high quality cheese in their sandwiches and flatbreads. There was also Nutella hot cocoa on the menu, which I didn’t get to try, but sounds delicious!

A fresh change of pace very different from a Starbucks. This is small but well-​known bakery also has a fine selection of baked goods and coffees. I stop in there almost on a daily basis for my caffeine fix and always walk out feeling taking care of. A very small business attitude which is very rare in these days.

Granted I work a block away from this place but they have half off sandwiches after 5pm! My coworker just got me the Il Greco vegan sandwich and it was just so so so scrumptious! The bread is so delicious as well. ENJOY!

Excellent local bread source. A lot of New York restaurants source from here and having tried multiple places — this place won the draw.
The bread is fresh
The staff is very friendly
Haven’t tried their desserts or pizza — those are next but given the bread quality — my expectations are set.

+ craving more pizza from grand daisy. Lucky for me I have 7 more days to taste the entire menu
+ ginger cupcake was spicy, warm and moist
+had the coconut and lemon tart. Fragrant but could use less sugar.

Great pizza. Mushroom heaven. Rather good croissant. Friendly service. A nice place to sit with the paper for 20 minutes and have some breakfast. They could do a better job of wiping down the tables and bar.

Grandaisy is fabulous. They make a variety of crusty house baked breads, and other assorted cookies, tarts and flatbreads, etc. They are a family owned small business that provides bread and rolls to restaurants and hotels across the city as well as a corner nook to grab a coffee and a quick bite on the way to work or over the lunch hour. Grandaisy is an Italian style baker, and the loaves will have a more imperfect peasant look than the perfect boules and baguettes of a French bakery, and the cookies will be harder and dryer, the better for dunking in coffee. Speaking of which, while I had to check myself in an Italian place for ordering cappuccino after breakfast, it was still morning and I was on vacation. The cappuccino was creamy and my son enjoyed an artisanal pear nectar in a precious 7oz bottle. Highlights included a subtle pumpkin tart, which was not too sweet, too pumpkiny, or pumpkin spice-​ey. Nicely balanced.
The famous cauliflower pizza is deservedly so. It as an unctuous, savory, creamy, crusty bite of deliciousness. I will try to stop at the 72^nd street store on my way uptown in the future to grab a slice. Yum! Ginger cookie sandwiched with lemon cream and candied ginger, as well as Zenzerri, or crusty ginger dunking cookies were hits as was the cheese bread. Subtle, tasty, and delicious toasted with butter. I love gluten, and I love Grandaisy bakery!

I was lucky enough to get a sesame loaf, warm, sliced, and ready for butter and jam today. I’ve been here dozens of times and never had a bad baked good.
For an added treat get an Illy latte. Good grief. You will never get coffee anywhere else.

Thought it would be much better than it is. Got the mushroom slice and it was cold and pretty lackluster to be honest. Wouldn’t get it again.

My colleague discovered this place and told me about it. I tried their vegetarian sandwich which has garlic paste (very light, not gonna make your mouth stinky!) Ever since then I go there to get lunch whenever I feel like having something light. If your work or live at TriBeCa, this would be a good place to get something light and quick.

Was finally able to stop in here after passing by it all my life. Tried the Chai Latte which was a disappointment. Wasn’t able to try any of the baked goods but it sure smelled delicious. Sat down for a bit and the bar along the window was filled with crumbs and of course there’s no wi-​fi. Not a café to sit and do work in as this is a really small place of business that receives a lot of traffic.

When I get off the subway everyday at Canal St, Grandaisy is right across the street. I was looking for a new place to get my morning tea/​coffee (depends what kind of mood I’m in) since I’m really getting sick of Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. I went into Grandaisy randomly and I’m so happy that I did. They have great teas (I love the organic breakfast) and great coffee too (I like plain black).
If I’m a little hungry when I get there I usually pick up their blueberry cornbread muffin or this little flour-​free chocolate muffin they make. The prices are decent for the area and the staff is friendly. I love that they give you the punch cards so that every tenth drink you purchase is free (they even punch my card for bakery items sometimes too).
I really want to try their pizza slices since I’ve read great reviews about them. I might stop in for lunch today.
This place is much better than La Colombe Torrefaction Coffee which is a few blocks away and also serves specialty coffees.

When people discuss New York pizza they often think of large triangle touristy $ 2 slices
which make a great economy meal.
What some might not know is the occurrence of bakery made pizza slices straight out of Italian culture. Thin crust pizzas topped with luscious ingredients like
«Zucca» butternut squash, or «Funghi», mushroom, no cheese required.
My choice is to do it for breakfast on the go.
This bakery, which I randomly chose en route to a Century 21 shopping spree, happened to knock off my socks with a sweet neon orange squash laden crust, cradling spicy garlic and smooth lovely olive oil.
With a black coffee I only batted an eyelash at cookies and biscotti’s to go, $ 10 a package.
The space is simple and clean with limited seating. At $ 3 a slice you might wanna consider taking one to go for later.

This is a phenomenal bakery, café, pizzeria, sandwich joint. Whatever you’re in the mood for. It’ll hit the spot.

Small place, a few seats, the staff is friendly enough. I just stopped by to get a cup of hot chocolate. Unfortunately it was the blandest tasting chocolate ever. I could have made it better with the Swiss Miss powdered envelopes you get at the market. The other customers seemed to be enjoying their coffee/​food but I can’t comment on that since I won’t be returning here.

Consistently good. Staff is nice. The zucca pizza is amazing. Wish they had better seating options.

Only have had regular old joe here, will one day expand my horizons within its cozy confines… if whats in my cup is any indication… im in for quite the treat!

Still a nice little bakery, still love the Chai, still has super friendly service.
Their potato pizza with thyme is my go to quick breakfast option. Their mini Italian versions of pumpkin pie are good. Their rum bread pudding is amaaaazing.
I wasn’t a fan of their gingerbread cake, I think they use dark molasses and it overpowered the other flavors, and were a little underhanded with the spices. Their mini apple pies are also skippable, the dough is far too thick for a filling that is sparse and sort of oddly congealed around the slices of apple.

This place is so cute. It’s a small corner café and just what I was looking for. My friend and I came here because we were looking for a place to grab a cool beverage, and wanted to avoid going into a starbucks. We both ordered the lemonade, which was refreshing and an apple croissant looking thing that was a delicious afternoon treat. This place accepts cards (no minimum).

Grandaisy is amazing from any location! Sad to hear the Sullivan Street location is closing, but glad to hear they’re in Tribeca. Pizza Bianca is still my number one pick. I’m like an aminal around this stuff, I could eat it and eat it and eat it, until my stomach exploded. Happy was the day I discovered pizza Bianca was half price about an hour before closing…
Today I had the pizza fungi and the potato rosemary pizza. Both are very good. I’m a mushroom nut, but I actually think the potato was my favorite of the two. The rosemary and potatoes and onions just melt into bliss in my mouth.
