This Saturday, November 2, the acclaimed Flatiron restaurant is sharing a limited-edition box of sweets to close out its seasonal Bake it Nice pop-up series. Led by their exclusive pastry chef Laura Cronin, the Bake it Nice pop-up series began last year and focuses on Cronin’s plant-based confections.

For this week, Cronin is offering a roasted chestnut and chocolate edition of EMP’s trademark Madison Square snack as part of a larger box of sweets. This croissant-like treat exemplifies Cronin’s purpose since the beloved restaurant switched to an all-vegan restaurant in 2021. No oil here!
Cronin won’t be alone this Saturday. She collaborated with James Beard Award-winning chef Dominique Ansel on the limited-edition box of sweets. Along with Cronin’s contribution, the box will include a rare plant-based Cronut filled with raspberry jam, Ansel’s a croissant-doughnut hybrid signature creation plus hazelnut biscuit ganache.
These boxes are $18 for a set that includes each pastry. In addition, Eleven Madison Park coffee takeout and home products will be available for sale, while the restaurant’s beverage director Sebastian Tolius will contribute Agua Fresca options. Cronin and Ansel will be in the popup starting at 11am until the goodies run out. Run don’t go try them on!
