Master Critic Review

Unregular Bakery 8.1
East Village
A Union Square bakery that treats Italian bomboloni like the main event—pillowy, neatly fried, and generously filled. The menu leans modern-Italian with playful flavors, making it more of a specialty donut destination than a classic shop. Great for a daytime stroll stop when you want something richer and more crafted than a standard glaze.
Must-Try Dishes: Pistachio & Orange Blossom Bombolone, Chocolate Cream Bombolone, Seasonal Fruit Bombolone
Scores:
