  • I felt like everything cost $3-4 more than it should but we actually loved what we tried here. The honey cake tastes like a lighter cheesecake, and the pistachio halva rice krispie treat was addictive.

  • Hani's gets recommended a lot, they have a unique take with a malty cream cheese frosting but I prefer something a bit more ooey gooey (theirs isn't bready per se but just doesn't have a ton of filling).

  • The triple chocolate chunk cookie was best-in-class. Probably the chewiest and one of the most flavorful cookies I have ever eaten.

  • TBH, got it the first or second day and thought it was mid.

  • Quality products but I feel like a lot of flavors are way too subtle and prices are very high even for NY.

  • replying to u/middlechild4: Radio. Hani is incredibly disappointing. BUT you have to go to Radio prepared to wait, understand that they will sell out of things (so go as early as possible), they don’t have indoor seating, and are in a more remote location

    Hani's is way too sweet. I've tried 2 types of cake, a brownie, a cookie, and the hot chocolate, and I couldn't finish any of them.

  • it was outstanding (very small portion like served in a macchiato or cortado cup, but very rich and was topped with an eggnog whipped cream).

  • The first time the cinnamon roll was incredible. The second time way too much icing and not as tender. Maybe there’s a QC issue there. In general I like the place

    The texture of the cakes were most disappointing to me but even then, the taste wasn’t wowing either.

  • Definitely lots of hits with Hani's! The carrot cake was good but really much too sweet for my taste given how much frosting there is to cake though I loved how the brown butter came through in it.

  • replying to u/virtual_adam: Hanis right next to Librae also has a very good cinnamon roll

    hmm tried theirs a few times now and it's always been super dense and heavy like a brick. a few times all the cinnamon filling was all clumped at the bottom and nothing between the layers. not a fan

  • replying to u/Wooden-Title3625: Hani’s is exceptional, I worked with Miro for a few years and everything that man ever made was amazing.

    I had the carrot cake from Hani's yesterday for the first time - what a sophisticated version of a carrot cake!!! Every element, from the frosting with added depth from the brown butter, to the lighter cream cheese mousse within the layers, and of course, the pineapple ginger jam, just elevated teh whole thing. It was still "safe" and familiar for those who aren't adventurous, but, wow, what an elevated carrot cake!

  • The chocolate chip cookie was 👌. Cinnamon roll was really good heated up next day

  • the cake was so DENSE which was made worse with heavy peanut butter. It was nauseating.

  • replying to u/Significant_Cook215: Haven't tried any of the items mentioned so far, but the first time I went, I got their Pb and J cake since it was popular online and the cake was so DENSE which was made worse with heavy peanut butter. It was nauseating. I haven't been able to try anything else from them because I'm reminded of the slice and feel like I'll have a similar experience with their other items.

    The PB cake was terrible. Had to throw away. Cake was so dense and dry and the frosting didn’t work with it

  • I liked Hani's, and find all of their items to be of fairly high quality, but do have some nitpicks here and there.

  • replying to u/seltzer321: I’ve tried to like Hanis several times and it just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t get the hype. Maybe I need to try that rice krispie treat and the honey cake

    I just tried the Rice Krispie yesterday and was really disappointed :( I was like… that’s it? All that hype and it honestly tastes like a regular Rice Krispie with a few pistachios and smudge of halva.

  • Everything else has been a bit hit or miss, but I still enjoy going to try different things.

  • I love the flavors of the baked goods here. The shakshuka Danish was so unique and delicious. The pistachio halva rice krispie treat is really good too.

  • Unfortunately, I would actively discourage people from getting the banana pudding, strawberry passion fruit croissant, and lime cheesecake due to them simply not being great.

  • Winner for my favourite sweet item of the trip.

  • I personally love Hani’s but a lot of people find their stuff too sweet, that being said I’d recommend the pistachio halva rice crispy treat and, if you’re strategizing stomach space, get a cake slice instead of a cinnamon roll.

  • No I went this weekend and had low expectations and it was way better than I thought, I loved the cinnamon roll lol

  • went to hanis super excited as everyone raves about it, and was pretty disappointed.

  • Walked around the block to Hani's next for a cinnamon roll. It was solid, but the amount of frosting was a bit much. Felt overhyped.

  • replying to u/titaniumdoughnut: Not exactly standard, but Hani's honey cake is insane.

    Hani’s chocolate cake is also out of this world good
