The Crème brûlée in Sarahbeth’s is one of a kind!!I have had this desert so many times from Dubai to Paris to Shanghai. This has been the best so far. It’s been long time that I haven’t finish an entire desert by myself. But for this, there’s no way to stop. I was seriously thinking to pack one with me on the way back to Dubai if it wasn’t a 12 hours flight.
Sarabeth is always crowded, but this bakery isnt crowded too much. Sarabeths Bakery is located in Chelsea Market, and easy to buy quality foods. My favorite sweets is butter milk scone and jam and butter. Coffees and teas are also fine too. Staffs response is not so well, but its in Manhattan. I got used to them.
We are frequent customers of Sarabeths and honestly, I’m torn! The food here is delicious, fresh, and incredibly well done but the service is always below par: unfriendly, snippy, and rushed and It has always been this way- as long as I can remember. If you can get past the rude service, then give it a try- the food really is fabulous!
Was not planning to go Chealsea Market but was surprised with Sarabeth’s. Try the cherry pie and the great breakfast selection. The hot chocolate ( they sell the cocoa powder) won my #1 in NYC
I love that you can see into the bakery, it shows you the passion baked into every delicious snack. I got a special breakfast fertatta and a fruit tart with my cappuccino. What a great start to the day. Thanks Briar
The only place in the world which charges 1.5$ per Ice for the orange juice i bought!!And unfortunately the egg sandwich was tasles.Im not coming back to this roberry.
I got the chocolate pudding here which tasted just heavenly and came in a cute little glass box. Definitely recommend if you are a fan of pudding/chocolate!
Good pastries and generally good food and coffee! Perfect for brunch in Chelsea Market just before starting to explore it!
Eggs Benedict was yummy, berries French toast and coffee were just Ok.
Famous egg benedict from Sarabeth’s. What a great pleasure to meet Sarabeth in her kitchen!Awesome!
The store looks nice and cozy, and the yummy scent is inviting. They serve lunch until 3pm every day. You can buy jam jars, coffe and cocoa. Good coffe and great sweet goodies, but poor service. We had to ask for sugar and stuff for the coffee.
Very basic looking....nothing on the shelves and there was only 1 employee in the shop running the show. She was really miserable, and probably the main reason I wont return.
At the end of the market, apart of the crowd you can enjoy a nice American breakfast for a reasonable price ! Everything is tasty and delicious
The best pancakes I have ever eat. Delicious for a good price. I’ll recommend to all, I felt blessed in each bite!
The English breakfast muffin is a scam. Tasteless bread roll
Overall good food, but we asked for a sandwich without cream cheese - not because we don’t like it, but because my wife can’t have it. Took a bite and it had cream cheese in it. The staff fixed it but weren’t very apologetic. So, good food but bad service.
Bad idea coming here. This place is so pretentious and stingy. Awful customer service. Food is insanely overpriced and they’ll charge you extra for the little things. The staff isn’t friendly nor helpful. They treat you like you’re just a number to make a transaction. I paid $2.50 for a cup of coffee and when I asked for them to refill half the cup they said no refills. Don’t know if that’s a general NYC rule but where I’m from, restaurants give you “free refills” to justify charging you that much. Also, we ordered pancakes which was a lot, but it came with one tiny plastic container of syrup. We asked for another syrup and they said it’s $1 extra. The jam comes in a tiny container as well. The egg white veggie omelet was super bland. The cherry tomatoes weren’t chopped up and the veggies were barely cooked all the way, which made it harder to eat and chew. Veggies should’ve been sautéed. Would’ve been nice to include cheese in there to make it more flavorful. It definitely needed to be seasoned with salt and pepper but they’re so stingy about giving you anything. Nothing is laid out for customers to use. You literally have to ask for napkins. It’s so ridiculous for a place that is very reputable and expensive. You would think they’d be more generous with customer service and the quality of their food, but they’re not. They just like to look pretty and cute, but don’t have much substance at the core. Maybe dining at an actual restaurant is better. The take-out style at the Chelsea Market needs improvement.
The barista was really friendly and accommodating even though I went during COVID. I ordered two cups of coffee off the menu but the espresso mustve been over extracted. I wouldnt go back if Im in Chelsea Market.Instead head to the nearby starbucks reserve.
Decent pastures. Okay drip coffee
Enjoyed several deserts .. all four tasted very smooth and delicious.
Going to a bakery I expect a warm scone for breakfast and a coffee. Instead I received a cold dry scone from the fridge and a coffee witch tasted burnt. When asking to get the scone heated they said it wasn’t possible. After a long conversation with the manager they did warm my scone and make a new coffee that tasted like any other. Definitely not worth the time...
We stopped in very early as the market was opening. Prices were a bit steep, but overall a good experience in a beautiful space.
Everything here was pretty “fine”. The frittata was kind of bland and the biscuit was nothing to write home about. The rice pudding was pretty great and a friend of mine really liked his turkey burger. So, not a bad experience, but also not the best 🤷🏻♂️
I would give -5 stars if I could. Our party of four went for brunch and got there at around 3:30. We were seated and given water. We all knew what we wanted, so we tried to flag down waiters and waitresses a few times. It’s 3:55, and still no waiter. We managed to flag a waitress down, and she said she’d find us a waiter. We had enough, and decided to leave. I don’t recommend Sarabeth’s at all. At least the restaurant we ended up going to had waiters.
Food is fresh and tasty. I think its overpriced.
This is cheaper, faster alternative to the Sarabeth’s restaurants around the city - and unfortunately, the difference is noticeable. Strongly recommend for takeaway pastries and coffee, but for their dishes spend the few extra dollars and go to their restaurant. The waffle I ordered came undercooked twice (dough still completely mushy throughout...)
Looked like a high quality place to enjoy some fresh food in cute packaging. The anticipation of breakfast was cut short by the absolute rudeness of the two cashiers. They then made fun of me in Spanish thinking I couldnt understand, but I speak it enough to get the gist of the conversations. The food was fresh, bit a bit on the bland side. Needless to say, I wont be back.
I hate kale. They have this breakfast muffin here that contains kale and a whole hard boiled egg in a cornbread. OK, I have to save I loved it. It was sooooooo good, we actually went back a few days later and got another one. It was super filling, so if you plan on eating at a bunch of places in Chelsea Market, split this with someone. We bought our breakfast here and went up to the Highline and ate and then took a walk. I also got cookies here, so light and buttery. My sister got a souffle cake, she said it was so moist and delicious. Now I wished I got a cake too.
A shame. The look and feel of a real bakery, traditional in the good sense, but in reality this place is a trap for tourists or naive visitors of Chelsea Market. I was offered a choice for bread with my (not really excellent) omelette, chose then the sourdough.... was brought toasts made of the most basic and boring yeast bread. When I told the waitress, I believe in a friendly and truly polite manner, they should not name that sourdough, she called her boss... I do not know who that old unfriendly lady was but she pushed whole grain bread at me without even accepting the comment. Clearly not customer friendly and bread quality on the low end of what you find the the average supermarket down here in Europe.Sad experience. Bad image for NYC.
Found it super confusing and stressful trying to figure out what they actually serve here and then ordering it. They actually do have a menu with nice breakfast meals, but theres only two of them at the counter, so not that easy to find when everyone is queued there ordering.Once we found the menus and ordered it was a very pleasant breakfast.The pumpkin waffles are quite delicious.
Seemed busy. Staff were courteous. Stopped for a cup of coffee. They dont have decaffeinated coffee beverages..😥
This is the greatest location to pick SB stuff! I always stalk up on their Parissianne Cocoa. Eat, pantry shop, gift it..this staff is welcoming helpful friendly. With terrific humor. I luncheon weekly at Met location. But the Chelsea Market staff is why I keep coming back.
The food here isnt bad but its very pricey. The service however is terrible. My gf and I came here and there was an ant in her pancakes, crawling around. We asked the waiter to take it back, he waited 15 minutes to come take it and then ignored us for another 10 minutes. Eventually the manager came over and apologized, which was fine except we didnt enjoy our meal. If you want to get a decent meal and pay a lot, feel free to come here otherwise, there are many other options with great service.
Fresh, tasty, quick service and fun to see into the bakery as your treats are made.
Poor overall customer service - very slow, you literally see employees waiting around instead of trying to accelerate the queue. Also wouldn’t heat my scone since apparently they “aren’t able to”. This is disappointing since even Starbucks can...
Expensive and food not too hot. Nice atmosphere and good crowd. Obviously a poplar place to eat.
Definitely overrated: expensive and mediocre!Had a plastic-like and very expensive omelette this morning. I also ordered a cup of black coffee and it was so burned that I asked for a fresh one, which never arrived.
Every time I go to NYC I visit Sarabeths. It has some of the best scones in the world. You have to get there early before they run out of that days fix. They sell out QUICK. An American treasure.
Owner herself, older lady, gray hair in clips wearing socks and sandles, Sarabeth? was making sandwiches in full view through the glass bakery with no gloves, wiping her nose with her hands, throwing scraps if food in her mouth, we even saw her take bread out of the garbage and put it to the side for later use? my daughter was disgusted as we sat there eating food we had just bought there. we told the ppl bringing out the orders what we saw and they went and spoke to her, she looked upset and put on gloves, then couldnt work making sandwiches with them on so she ripped them off, threw them out and went right back to not using gloves.... I guess she can do whatever she wants if shes the owner! we will never eat there again!
Good place with great fresh pastries.
Came with great expectations and ordered a tuna salad sandwich. Got a pre-made ice cold sandwich (both the bread and the tuna). I would expect from a bakery to serve oven fresh bread and not pre-made ice cold one. Great disappointment...
The cheese sticks were amazing! The pre-packed cakes though were a little disappointing. Very aesthetic place, and decent service to boot.
Classic bakery located in Chelsea Market. Great coffee and variety of naked goods/pastries. A few tables where patrons can sit. Sometimes a bit of a wait
The main bakery for Sarabeths restaurants providing the baked goods. My go to items here are the biscuits. Buttery and tender. Also the cookies. Great peanut butter, sugar, and jelly stuffed cookies. Yum.
When I told the cashier I was jettlagged she took this as an opportunity to try and short change me by $3...a totally illogical amount for the amount tendered so it was clearly deliberate. Ironically it was less than I would have tipped. Then the sandwiches were soggy in parts and inedible.
DRY banana bread... Cant finish the slice.. But not as dry as the service.. Said hello to cashier, who looked at me with dead eyes and never replied..this was a stop on my first trip out since MARCH 2020..if every business in NYC was like this, we can kiss a comeback goodbye..
Outstanding treats. Friendly staff.
Every time I come here I am told that the kitchen just closed and I missed the breakfast menu, doesnt matter what time or what day, always the same response. One time came at 1:30, got this kitchen is closed nonsense, asked what time they close, got the response 2pm, show the time to the horrendous employee, she changes her answer to 1pm.
This review is only for the filter coffee, which was hot, fresh, tastes great and was full of flavor. One of the best filter coffees I had recently.
This visit was going great, food was decent until there was a shard of glass in my scone. Wouldn’t return. Clearly something is going wrong.
Best french toast I had in NYC.
Tasty treats to sandwiches, they have you covered!
Lovely place, nice people’s
To be honest my girlfriend chose this place. I was happily surprised of the quality of their coffee. I didnt eat anything this time though.
Good baked goods. Very slow if you order a sandwich or something else prepared.... not busy, over a half hour to get sandwiches.
Not a terrible place by any means but a little pricey. Our service was subpar and very rushed. Id try it again for sure. Decor is beautiful and a wonderful location.
The french fries are wonderful but do not take the Macn cheese, which is a lot of fat pasta you will be sick like me.
Had a great egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant for breakfast. They had an impressive array of pastries and baked goods.
LOVED THIS PLACE! The staff was friendly and I really enjoyed my short time here. The environment has a great vibe and would recommend to come here. 😶
Mediocre and overpriced breakfast. Terrible coffee. And they wouldn’t give me a cup of tap water. Bottle water is for sale.
Worlds best scones. A great bakery and great sandwiches. Always worth the visit in Chelsea Market.
Great bakers but not good servers. Go pay to buy but get out if you want to enjoy the taste without servers ruining your day.
Smells good, looks good, but isnt that tasty. We took the buttermilk biscuit and the Chocolate croissant and were disappointed.
Great place to eat....
My favorite bakery. It has the best cherry tarts Ive ever tried.
Cant wait to go back... I loved the food and atmosphere! Sarabeths is an American Icon .
Everytime I visit I get their rice pudding! It comes in this cute glass container as well.
Dont come here! Bad aggresive service and the portions of the food is really small.
I experienced a very friendly lady, good and hot coffee and a delicious chocolate cookie.
Best pastries 🥮 on the town
Very slow and poor service. Ordered a pancake which they didnt start preparing even after half an hour waiting... got a refund though.
The bakery smells so good, it was very cool to see the inner workings through the glass window.
We were among the first customers, yet they managed to get our order mixed up with someone elses.
Not much of a selection. Didnt get anything this time.
Cheese danish and cheese stick (puff pastry with cheese baked on it-taste like a puff pastry cheese it) were good.
Creme brulee worthy trying!
Creme brûlée is so good
POOR service. Total ignorance. They treated me just like I wasnt there. How could this place be so popular?
Pretty good sandwiches, but a bit overpriced, service rather unfriendly.
No water for customers unless you buy bottled. My order was wrong & I tipped. Disappointing
Great muffins and scones.
Loved the place, great taste and maintained with good standards
Excellent coffee and place…
Cookies & cake so yummy! brunch is amazing
Always great
I Just love Sarabeth’s jam!
Food.is good but the service is very very.unfriendly. not coming back...
Poor customer service! Very expensive and not fresh 👎
Divine chubbie cookies. ONE IS NOT ENOUGH.
Some waiting for weekday lunch but worth.
Great coffee, so-so scones and cakes.
Excellent!
Nice place, good dishes!!
Cake on coffee
Good cheesecake and breakfast options
The latte is very good!
Pretty sad excuse for a chocolate croissant
Lovely foods
Cookies are amazing
Delicious cheescake!
Amazing
It was as delicious as Eggs Benedict was famous.
We entered by chance for lunch and were pleasantly surprised, we ordered a couple of sandwiches and some pancakes and everything is great. The sandwiches were large and stuffed and the pancakes have been the best Ive ever eaten. Surely I repeat in the future.
Very bad reception. I took a scone. It was very cold and they did not want to heat it while they have ovens. We are sold with so-called jam and butter. But I was given the equivalent of a quarter of a teaspoon of jam. They play on their reputation but I do not recommend going there.
Visited to buy jam that is famous. By size, you can buy jams in sets or individually. There are many different kinds of jams. The price range is quite high but worth the jam. I bought strawberry and raspberry flavors and its really good. It is a different taste from the jams sold in Korea. I would buy more.
Located inside Chelsea Market, its a cozy spot with plenty of delicacies to try.The open kitchen adds a touch. The delicious coffee. It has tables outside the premises in the common part of the marker.
As soon as you enter there is the workshop where all the products that are sold will be made.The cleanliness is extreme and the sweets are great. The rice pudding with blueberries and strawberries is terrific. A bit expensive like everything in New York.
Best seasonal fruit crust Ive ever had
The best salmon and goat cheese scrambled eggs I have ever had! It was excellent.Having said that, the reception could be better but it was so delicious that we quickly forget this little detail!
Sarabeths is an excellent place to delight sweet snacks. Being part of the Chelsea Market, this place is ideal for a quick break and continue on your way.There is a wide variety of products although little space to sit. The service was fast and efficient.
There were many customers in the store, so I only bought jam that was said to be famous. They come in a variety of sizes and flavors. And the staff was so friendly. There were so many types of jam, so I asked for recommendations, and he recommended orange marmalade.I think a small size gift would be good as a souvenir :))
Good hot chocolate. Finance tasty. American standard service (simple, efficient, without much chat and little courtesy).
I think Sarabeth is so famous that there are probably many people who set it higher than expected. However, considering the price, I think it is very delicious.I personally recommend Creme Brulee
Burnt toast. They gave us only 1 napkin for 2 people. Bad attention. A shame. The place looks super nice but I would change those things.
A great place to buy jam for gifts.I bought it here because they dont sell jam in Sarabeth in Korea. Here is a variety of jam flavors, sizes and sets.Lets compare the taste of jam with personal tasteThe order of the constellation is Gospel>Sarabes>Bonmaman.The Gospel Jam in Korea is more delicious.
Too bad. Unfriendly staff. Didnt really listen to me at first and then wanted to explain to me that the expresso (which I hold in my hand Hand) is a latte machiato 😒 otherwise, the cake was good, just too expensive.
We had lunch on the market and we saw this place by chance.Dear staff, the cakes were wonderfully delicious.
The most famous gift is jam. But this is too heavy for Korea too ....
Raspberry orange marmalade is delicious
。。。。。
The moisturizing bag scone is totally recommended !!!
Banana Pancake Sugoi
Bisji praise
Great pancakes

2021-10-13I ended up stopping at Sarabeths when the market opened. Theres very limited places opened at 9am.They open super early and you can sit on the tables outside the shop and eat your food. They do check for vaccination cards. I ordered the iced coffee and chelsea market sandwich which is basically a bacon, egg and cheese on fancy bread. The bread was thick looking but so SOFT, fluffy and chewy inside. I absolutely loved it. It was extremely filling. The eggs were super fluffy. I loved it. The coffee was okayy. Im glad they offered iced coffee because thats my jam.Overall i really enjoyed coming here. The service was kind and quick fast. It was also peaceful.

2022-05-15Great Bakery!! Staff was nice and the slice of banana bread was very delicious!! 😋 Wanted to get a Latte, but they didnt have any syrups!!
Review №3
2022-06-03AMAZING! I must say the staff here are phenomenal. I come in nearly every day for coffee and a bran muffin. These girls are on the ball. Not easy in a market with the same amount of tourists as Times Square. Highly recommend if you need a coffee fix or tasty treat. Thank you for the hard work!

2022-03-24Best hot chocolate Ive ever had! Hands own! 🍫👐🔥
Review №5
2022-04-01We purchased the cheese stick and the raisin scone. The scone was very cold and no flavor and the cheese stick was just ok. The lady (dark hair)checking us out wasn’t very friendly. As we were grabbing our bag of food from her she was yelling over us asking the next guest for their order. Practically rushing us out of the bakery.

2019-05-07It’s not one of the places I’d return to. Why does anyone even go here? For starters the prices are expensive. What do they make that someone else doesn’t make better and cheaper? I always use Whole Foods as a neutral ground. And it’s not much when Whole Food’s quality and prices are on par or better than some of the foods here.Atmosphere: The bakery is beautiful. Let’s start with that. You get a preview of the team baking beautiful muffins, cookies, breads. They’ve finally added seating so you can watch them bake and eat your food.Service: so lovely and friendly. The team here is so professional and always smiling. They’re lovely people.Food: nothing special with the drinks. The food does have some stand outs but their prices are enough to keep your visit few and scarce.In conclusion I’d rather visit Magnolia which is a few blocks away.

2018-07-04Meh. Could be killer, but its an odd system and not very well managed. My personal opinion - this is a good place for lunch when the lines at the other places are out of control (which they frequently are). The food is decent. Its reasonably quick - gets the job done. Also ok for coffee and pastry in AM.I dont think they meant it to be a stay-in restaurant. There are maybe 20-25 stools around counters and one large table. It seems a little haphazard. But you can order and stay. They call your order # and hand you a tray from around one side of the counter.Its kinda fun to be there when the baking is going on. I think all Sarabeth baked goods come from this one kitchen. Its glass walled, so patrons can see inside.Def over-priced. But then, it is in Chelsea Market. What isnt over-priced? We had pancakes, a pre-made medium sized Greek salad and two lemonades. $34!Last - Im not overly picky, fyi. Not a yelper who loves to find fault. Im generally pretty forgiving about restaurant service.

2021-03-04I love this place.Service was not so great.Staffs were not very friendly.I went Sunday morning around 9:30.Not a lot of people,didnt need to wait to buy.I bought croissant, scone,buttermilk biscuits.I dont say that those I purchased were a day before products,but I wish I could buy fresh baked products.Those baked goods are not so great once Its get colder.I used to like buttermilk biscuits from this bakery.Anyway, their preserves are amazing.I boughtpeach apricotblueberry cherryblueberry mango.Once you eat these preserves, you cant eat other jams.Totally different!I really recommend to try their preserves.

2020-10-30The most Pathetic service Ive received till now. They have tables set up outside the coffee shop in Chelsea Market. I bought coffee which had limited options first of all with almond milk. I sat down on the chair outside with my coffee, on a Friday afternoon at 2pm, working on my laptop. The server came out and asked me to leave. She said I cant be sitting there working since the other customers cant find seat. There was no other customer waiting.. Only one other table occupied and 3 of them being free i asked her about whos waiting, she did not answer, she went in and sent the owner, who was more rude than her and I asked her on what ground are you asking me to leave? She said I cant sit there and work everyday and shell have more customers coming in next day, which was totally unreasonable. Id never treat any of my customers that way and as a customer never expect this treatment from anyone. Id never go here again and would suggest others to stay away too.

2018-12-15This is a great small lunch place and bakery right in the amazing Chelsea Market. But what is particularly great here are the marmalades jams, delicious classics and new combinations that you never knew you wanted, but still you knew... Strawberry Blood Orange marmalade, Raspberry Key Lime jam, oh I love them with a fresh croissant and a cortado.
