Angelina Bakery, not to confuse with Angelina Paris (the place near Bryant Park with the amazing hot cocoa), is an homage by Tony Park, who is of Korean descent but was raised by an Italian family, to his grandmother Giuliana, who taught him cooking and baking, and his daughter Angelina who gave her name to the quickly expanding franchise. The location in Times Square opened a couple of months ago and is much better than the one they have on 8th avenue: brighter, more inviting and surely a perfect spot for business. There are really two things I love there: their bomboloni with Nutella and their croissant with Nutella. Yes, if you are a Nutella lover, this place is for you. The bomboloni does not have as much Nutella than the croissant that oozed of it as you start eating it. The croissants and by extension the chocolate croissants as this uses the same dough, are not the best I had, lacking the delicious buttery taste and slight crispiness on the outside, but Nutella eliminates that flaw. A good thing is that, if you want to try both croissant and bomboloni, you can order minis. I was also curious to try their donuts, but, although good, I would pass, getting better glazed donuts at Krispy Kreme or Dunkin.

So, Angelina Bakery is great for breakfast, especially if you love Nutella, but they also have sandwiches and pizza that I never tried. I guess I will have to go back but will surely not resist topping my meal with a Nutella delicacy…

Enjoy (I did)!
