Customer Reviews

Love going here for their Nola ice coffee and the guava and cheese croissant/danish (it?s amazing!). My husband is a huge fan of their donuts we try to come early on the weekends to get a better selection as they tend to go quickly. I usually go to the East Harlem location which is only take out but the bakery is on site so you get to enjoy the freshest pastry.

If you?re looking for top-tier coffee in the city, this spot is a must-visit. The espresso? Smooth and bold. The lattes? Perfectly balanced. And don?t even get me started on the pastries and baked goods?whewww! Every bite is pure magic. Check them out, you won?t be sorry.

Super Nice is a great little spot for pastries and coffee. I usually hit up the one on E 117th close to Lexington Ave. The folks are always friendly and helpful and the doughnuts and the pasteries are amongst the best I?ve had in the city. The coffee isn?t bad either.

Just moved into the neighborhood 6 months ago. Not staying here long however this grab n go eatery is a hidden gem. Sort of a creature of habit so besides Patsy's and Super Nice, these two places I will miss. The Donuts are freshly baked daily and so delicious and the fresh brew ice tea is amazing!

I love this little window shop so much! Literally the best donuts in the city? there is usually a line because it?s that?s good but it does slow things a little bit so recommend ordering ahead if you?re in a rush/on the way to work. My friends love the matcha as well, and the espresso hits the spot. Very community vibe- can?t recommend enough!

I?ve been coming here for years. The first time I tried their donuts was on a work retreat?someone brought it for the car ride, and I?ve been hooked ever since! Their drinks are equally amazing as well. I usually go for a matcha or New Orleans style coffee, but I tried the Dirty Blonde Latte the other day, and I might?ve found my new favorite. Oh, and their text messages? They always make my day - they aren?t always cheery and jolly but they?re real and show you that there?s a real person behind this busine

I recently stumbled upon this small gem. I originally walked past but the smell captivated me and i had to walk back. The place is a little hole in the wall. Your serviced through a window. The gentleman at the register was really nice. He let me know that the bakery has been there for about 4years or so. I had personally never seen it before. They have a bunch of baked good but what i immediately went for was the donuts. They are huge and doughy. But yum yum they are flavourful and delicious. I ended up

Hi! I?ve been a loyal customer at Super Nice for the past year and a half, coming in at least once a week?often more. I love the coffee, and one of my favorite items has been the jalape?o cheddar biscuit. Recently, I discovered that combining it with the potato chorizo (another standout item on the menu) made for an amazing combination. I?ve ordered this custom combo?jalape?o biscuit with potato chorizo?twice without any issue. However, when I went to order it again today, I was told they could no longer m

I only been to the East Harlem location on 117 st, for about a year now this is my favorite Donut shop , I am a vegan and I love the Vegan Donuts all of them are so delicious, but that pistachio croissant is a crazy game changer, yes I know it?s not vegan but it?s amazing I had to cheat lol. The staff is amazing and so friendly I love the Vibes. Thank you for your service Guys ????

Perfect little hole in the wall coffee and bakery! It?s my fav in the area, the staff are friendly and helpful. All the pastry options are delicious and fresh. The kitchen is great as well but closes at around 2pm, but there is always great alternatives if you don?t get there in time! Love love love this place :)

Worth the ride up there to upper upper west . Fantastic pizza ,Excellent dough , fresh ingredients. The starter of the ricotta is a must . Their burger is excellent as well , it?s about the meat and they sound it right . Fun place , excellent service .

I ordered a ham and cheese crossiant. They gave me a crossiant with a small piece of cold ham, it was not fully cooked, and no cheese. I ended up throwing it out. Definitely not worth the price, go to Dunkin Donuts instead. Update Response to the restaurants reply: FYI I did not think it was a sandwich. I know what a crossiant is. ?? The item only has 2 ingredients in it. The ham was not fully cooked, the ham was cold, and there was absolutely no cheese in the crossiant. There was no reason for the ham to

The 117th location is dangerously close to where I live and I would find out about the place after I started to go to the gym 3 days a week. The service is great, the doughnuts, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches and beverages I?ve had have all been incredible. Ive brought multiple people to visit just because they?re that good. If I wasn?t suffering from food poisoning this weekend I would have went this morning. Plus their Instagram is hilarious. 10/10 - thank you for existing! And I love that they have

This is my all-time favorite breakfast spot since I moved to Harlem almost 2 years ago. The entire menu is great, especially the pastries (try the guava & cheese danish), the donuts (I love the cornbread old fashion), and the breakfast sandwiches. The staff are friendly & it?s always worth the wait.

I only come here for a particular worker here because Mikey brightens my day and so many other folks who come regularly. The pastries are sweeter when there is someone who goes out of his way to make their day better, despite going through it themselves. I'd be pissed if I had to wait for fast items like an iced/drip coffee due to negligence of other workers who disregard their peers. Do better with your workflows and sort out the politics internally.

Just left 117th Street location. Stopped by fir BEC hand pie and few pastries. Hand pie was sold out (no surprising, they are top notch!). Asked if they could check the other location. The person at the window (female -not courteous) stated "you can call them yourself" I asked again if she wouldn't mind calling. No one was waiting to order. She then stated I was taking her away from doing her job!!!!. Eventually she decided to call, only for the Baker to remind her the other location does not offer hand

If you're looking for top-notch baked goods, Super Nice won't disappoint. Their yeast doughnuts are legendary, and the pistachio croissant is divine. The only downside is the wait - order online to beat the line! Doughnut recs: maple pecan or glazed. If you want something a little less 'pillowy' or 'fluffy', ask for their 'cake' doughnuts.

So I had 3 doughnuts from this place. The Fruity Pebbles and the Sprinkles were delicious, absolutely no complaints. But the Mango Chile? On a doughnut? What a revelation. 10/10

They have the best donuts I ever tried in the city. The other pastries- like the croissant - are also delicious. Love their coffee too!

I LOVE SUPER NICE! They are always grounded and cool and help me figure out my ideal drink that fits my mood. Which sounds like a high maintenance customer? so don?t do that. Cinnamon buns are 10/10, all donuts with citrusy tops are 10/10, Gabi is 10/10, Ivan is 10/10 (edit: EMBARRASSING HIS NAME IS IRVING I MEAN IRVIN SORRY IRVIN), all espresso drinks are immediate 10/10. Their savory food is very good I just don?t get it a lot bc it?s fun and fatty and I crave healthy things in the morning, and never get

best vegan donut i've ever had hands down. only issue is they are not available until almost 11 and the window itself doesn't open until 8 which is way too late for a coffee shop. what is this california? only nice thing is i only am ever going to go if i go to costco which is maybe once a month so i won't overdo it

Do NOT get a drink here. Donuts are absolutely delicious but the drinks are below average. The chai latte is just milk that was vaguely held near some chai extract. The lids for iced drinks are also terrible, they do not fit the cups properly so every time you take a sip, coffee spills from the rim (and yes, I did make sure the lid was fully on). Service is also very slow. But again, absolutely delicious donuts, they?re always fresh and some of the best in the city.

Great coffee and legitimately the best donuts I?ve ever had in my life. Hilarious texts as a bonus. I love this place.

Went for the Canadian tux coffee thinking it was something unique and special in the world of coffee...but it just tasted like a Starbucks iced latte. However the pistachio croissant was perfectly flaky and sweet! I would go again just for that

Amazing donuts but always has a line. If you?re in a hurry def order for pickup to skip the line. We ordered while in line and the order was faster than the line. The strawberry with sprinkles is my current favorite flavor.

During my recent visit to ?Super Nice Coffee and Bakery by Danny Macaroons,? I was greeted not by the conventional walk-in ambiance but by a charming service window, through which the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods tantalizingly seeped out. This unique setup paved the way for a personal and delightful interaction with a knowledgeable employee who took the time to inquire about my preferences and made tailored recommendations. The highlight of this encounter was their suggestion of the Chocol

How much can you eat after a whole great pie at Patsy's? I was as full as a monkey trapped in a banana plantation. But...I have a duty to you. If my fab food meter hits my brain bell, I must report. It's a good thing for both of us that I did. The coffee was better than the usual stateside experience. But the cake doughnut was an absolute game-changer. It's easily the best cake doughnut ever, and I love cake doughnuts more than the entire new york police department. The rest look just as good. Thank god I d

The pastry is amazing here! This literal ?hole in the wall? I stubbled on one day while walking around the neighborhood on my lunch break. There was a line and I wondered what they were offering and quickly found out it was pasty and coffee two of my favorite things in the world! Not going to lie, the prices are a little expense. One almond croissant was like $4+. But I?ll still visit and recommend.

Amazing donuts!! We had to go back for more!! The coffee was also perfect??

ordered a large iced rose latte + a small lavender latte. it didnt just take almost an hour, but the lady forgot abt my order and, when we complained, she gave me two small iced lattes (with no syrup ??????????)

Line takes absolutely forever. They prioritize to go orders. Coffee sucks. Staff is so rude. It?s ironic this place is called super nice. Other than that I love the guava and cheese.

I called this business to confirm hours and place an order at 12:40pm on a Sunday. The woman I spoke to on the phone told me the business closes at 5 and assured me there were doughnuts left and that they would hold my order for me as long as I made it online. I made the order online, paid online, and showed up at 4pm to find the business closing. I explained the situation and showed my order number and confirmation email. I was told there was no record of my order and someone must have thrown my food away.

I?m not even fished eating my food but I had to stop to RAVE about this place. They had a really interesting menu so I splurged a bit and over ordered knowing we could eat the pastry later and boy am I glad. Frankly I should have ordered more. I ordered on uber eats and everything arrived still warm and amazing. We got the Cheddar Jalape?o breakfast sandwich with egg cheese potato and chorizo and the croissant breakfast sandwich with the same fillings. Both are excellent! The Biscuit sandwich has a baked su

The best coffees, donuts, and breakfast sandwiches around. The blood orange, maple pecan, and mango chili donuts are incredible and the staff is always so kind!

Adorable hole in the wall with incredibly well executed pastries. This donut was so fluffy and not too sweet and the fruity pebbles glaze brings me right back to childhood. Really fun. On point flaky croissants too!

Nothing better than a walk up coffee and pastry counter. Love this vibe. Easy for me as a cyclist looking for some fuel. Coffee was hot! And my bacon egg and cheese hand pie was ????

Super Nice is a fantastic spot for doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee drinks. While there?s a bit of a wait some weekend mornings, that?s to be expected with a smaller operation and high demand. I love their doughnuts, especially their cake doughnut options, and their coffee drinks are always on point.

Tried quite a few things: maple pecan yeast donut Iced coffee Cinnamon sugar cake donut Iced latte Egg and bacon patty Everything yum, window service, will for sure visit again! Staff is very courteous ??

The attendant was super nice, but the latte was just okay and the sugary croissant was too dry. I took a ride from Battery Park City to Super Nice Coffee without checking if they had a seating area (my fault). The place is very small, and the nearby community gardens were closed on a Sunday afternoon. My only solution was to buy from another coffee shop (El Barrista Caf?), so that I can sit in their outside seating area (I don't recommend the other caf?, although the attendants were super nice too!)

The food and drinks are always amazing at this store. Sign up for the texts too! They?ll make your day

One of the best donuts i've eaten in my life. And one thing I love and had eaten plenty of, are donuts. A friend of mine brought one of their donuts one morning and I was hooked up. I am a client now.

This is my favorite bakery and cafe in all of NYC! Amazing donuts, lovely staff, and an owner with an excellent sense of humor. They also have delicious savory treats (the cheddar jalape?o or chive biscuits are delicious). E117th only has cake donuts and I recommend you get a cornbread donut if you can. Fall flavors are also amazing (pumpkin or apple spice). I took one star off for atmosphere because neither of the locations uptown have seating and are only storefronts, but that?s more a NYC real estate pro

One of the best hidden spots to get gourmet style donuts with such unique flavors that will run out if you don't get on early in the morning. Small shop that is currently takeout but offers a variety of good cafe drinks and eats. The loganberry donut was super delicious and unique.

Unbelievably large, fluffy donuts in incredible flavors! Our favorites are loganberry, blood orange, and maple pecan. The pastries are also delicious and there are even savory options if that's more your thing.

Favorite coffee shop in the City! Not only they offer New Orleans style coffee but also the best, perfectly balanced, doughnuts I?ve ever had, and it?s vegan (or not they got regular too and a beautiful selection of pastries/breakfast sandwiches). Super Nice Coffee is the treat that keeps me going though the week!

Best coffee place in Harlem. Their donuts are SO yummy and worth the price

do i want to tell you about the pistachio croissant? yes, because it is incredible, and no, because i want them to be there when i drop by and when i tell you about them, you?re gonna take them from me. but also you deserve them too, so,uh, here we are. the service is always friendly and the coffee is good too! i LOVE that it?s window service so i can drop by on my morning walk with my pup. ?????

I go often since I live in the neighborhood and they never disappoint. I?ve tried from their freshly made pastries/donuts, bagels w/cc and breakfast sandwiches ALL great! Also their iced latte is on point I wish their larger cup size was bigger to have more?? The service is also great!

This local spot is amazing! And they always have surprise deals like 2-for-1 donuts and pastries. Just make sure to sign up for text alerts ?? otherwise you miss out on the deals. Shout out to 117th location! My favorite spot! Also, ask for the lemon poppy seed cake donut, you won?t regret it ;-)

Loved this precious spot for the past 4 years. Their vegan yeast donuts have been worth biking and walking over 2 miles in both directions. You're rewarded for your patience

Super Nice has the best coffee and pastries in the neighborhood, hands down. I?m a self proclaimed expert on almond croissants ??, and theirs are AMAZING. And, for a teeny tiny place they have a huge selection.

Awesome place to get a "Super Nice "latte and a side of buttery croissant. The go to in my neighborhood

Excellent donuts, the dough especially was really something special. The creativity of frosting flavours also makes it stand out.

BEST bakery shop in East Harlem hands down!! The doughnuts are good, the bagels are good, the guava and cheese danishes are one of my favorites. The coffee is also great quality. There will more than likely be a line so expect to wait, but it?s always worth it! :)

This place is the best, great pastries and great coffee. There are no sitting areas but the quality is worth stopping by even if it's rainy or cold! You can't go wrong with any of the valley products, but my favorite is the pistachio croissant!

I had such a wonderful experience with their coffee and donuts! Brandon provided exceptional customer service that truly made my day.

This place the coffee was ok more expensive than any place and I got bad service ? which was sooooo rude cashier. I got mocha small one which not fully of the cup and I paid for $7, donut $4.5 which I do not complain because the taste so yummy!

Spectacular donuts. The best I?ve had in New York and probably in my life. Some flavours are classic (cinnamon) and some adventurous (passion fruit and chillis), all are perfect. I wouldn?t change a thing. Food is one of the reasons I like to stay in Harlem when visiting NYC, but I would still come here daily had I lived anywhere else.

I love every single thing I?ve eaten. So grateful to know and have the guava cheese danish in my life. The fun yummy donut flavors, THE HAND PIES!? It?s all so well made and such a great treat! Drinks are so great too! One request, how do we avoid losing half the donut frosting to the side of the bag yall put it in? It?s so good I?ve like used the donut to scrape the bag lmao. Also the texts always make me smile, I will never unsubscribe lol

We put in a catering order for our wedding reception, for 120 vegan donuts. Confirmed timing 2 weeks before. They...never arrived (or were apparently even baked). Received a super apologetic email at first, but then the refund wasn't even processed until we sent an email about 8 days later -- they never even replied to the email or offered anything for the mistake.

The passion fruit donut. This is how they put it in the bag the paper on the icing and ruined it. Someone needs to teach them how to put a donut in a bag without destroying it.

I have never seen this Bakery not busy! They have amazing donuts and fresh brewed coffee. My favorite thing to get is the maple pecan doughnut and an ice red eye. Best way to start the day!

Adore the incredible donuts and baked good at this perfect coffee window. Honey glazed cornbread is my fave and next level delicious. Lines can be long so use the site to order ahead

This is our go to bakery for coffees, teas, donuts, and pastries. The baristas are super friendly and make some of the best matcha I?ve ever had in my life. The donuts are just out of this world?I could never say enough kind things about Super Nice and have it be enough.

The donuts are phenomenal and the people working there are so, so nice. I'm not going to share my favorite flavor because then they will run out sooner. But they are all good so you can't go wrong.

This place is so darn addictive. Seriously, even if you are not a vegan, try the vegan doughnuts. Crack! The sugar cinnamon doughnut?crack. The mango glazed doughnut?crack. The chil glazed, the pecan something doughnut?crack. The cornbread cake doughnut? deadly. The plain croissant is nice. The pistachio croissant is sweet, savory and so good. The cheddar jalape?o biscuit are finicky elder approved. You are not going to be disappointed. I go to the one on 117 . This is a take out spot. No seating. Jus

The line gets long but it's worth it. Great coffee and superb doughnuts (all are good but the cornbread is particularly incredible). The ham and cheese croissant is also a great way to start the day.

the best coffee in east harlem. the donuts super good too.

Quality! Best coffee in East Harlem. Baked goods are consistently delicious.

Locate in spanish harlem on a 117th st and 3rd it is a small little eatery. The fiid was okay but the eggnog cofde was fantastic.

I have a habit of coming here in the mornings morning on my way to work for a mango/tajin donut and coffee. Pastries are incredible and the coffee is absolute top quality compared to most spots in the vicinity. Small tip: sign up for their text alerts, they?re MAD funny

Staff were super nice and friendly. The pastries were just ok. A bit too dry and too sweet.

Love this place ! The baked goods are always fresh and delicious. The biscuits are my favorite but the donuts are great too. I?m glad I found this little gem in my neighborhood

Amazing donuts and the people are really nice and patient!

They have the best donuts! Our family favorites are glazed, fruity pebbles and cornbread. We always get them when we have guests and they always rave about them.

Worth standing in line for the donuts and coffee. Pro-tip: 1)hit up the 117th shop 2) resist the urge to scarf down the donut immediately 3) walk to Marcus Garvey park 4) find a bench and watch the doggos frolic off leash and the beautiful faces of central Harlem go about their day. 5) congratulate yourself on making the best damn decision that day

I love super nice! The coffee drinks are excellent and the baked goods are superb! The glaze on their dooughnuts is so much better than any I?ve ever had and the flavors are great!

Smfh I came from far just to get the 3 maple pecan donut and the barista gave only 1 maple pecan and the rest was wrong !Smfh so disappointed!!!

Whatever they bake is great. For me, I love their croissants, flaky and yummy! Oh, and the service. This place on 108 St is a small, and interesting hole in the wall shop. So no dine-in, hence the 3-star.

Overall great vibes, and make sure to get on the list!

A great hidden spot in East Harlem! They always have delicious, unique donut flavors. The only reason I cant *quite* give 5 stars is that the menu is a bit pricey. I?ve had pastries and coffee that were just as delicious?although with less adventurous flavors?in the area for less (It usually ends up being $5 dollars a pastry and $5-7 dollars for an espresso drink by the time all is said and done). Sometimes it can also be challenging to know what they have in stock before reaching the window, which can fe

Staff is great, the most amazing dirty chai, the donuts were perfect! Very memorable NY food experience.

Mallory is super friendly and the cake donuts are phenomenal ??

I am obsessed with their pistachio croissants, i'm not into their donuts but hey people love it and i'm not gonna put it down. Love their coffee and their hot chocolate. BUT JESUS CHRIST THOSE PISTACHIO CROISSANTS ARE JUST PHENOMENAL! Dan is a hard working business owner and is driven to establish a relationship with his customers and I appreciate that tremendously! I mean who else give 2 for 1 pastries practically every other day! I am though looking forward to new pastries such as the rose petal donut he

Super Nice folks and their donuts, cinnamon rolls, croissants are exceptional!! Great food and service!

long wait just for the barista to forget and mess up my order :/ not coming back

Was looking forward to this place. But the young kid working was horrible,I'll never go again just because of him. People need to realize service is still important. I spent my money and felt I was taken advantage of. So he packed the doughnuts in a bag and obviously all the glaze stuck to the bag . There was no glaze left on the doughnuts!! I will say the pistachio croissant was good.

Love love love Super Nice! Coffee is so good every time, donuts are to die for, bagels aren't made in house but are still pretty tasty. You can't really go wrong with any of their drinks or baked goods. A bit pricey but definitely up to par with the quality of food you're getting in exchange.
