I love this place! It’s very cozy. The staff are super polite, and if you come often, they even try to remember your name. I love the food and coffee and come here every other day. It’s one of my favorite coffee shops. On warm days, there’s a terrace outside. It’s kid-friendly and laptop-friendly (except on weekends).

The choices for the baked goods were limited and overpriced for this area. The coffee was decent but again the prices defeats this point in this area again. The ambiance is ok. Everything should be about a dollar or two lower. They have 5th ave prices here. All the one stars here is due to (reheating displayed food and outrageous prices). My reviews require all places to have value but Der Pioneer does not have value or low value.

I loved this beautiful place ! Their lemon tart was absolutely amazing—bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the dark chocolate mousse dome and a tiny éclair, both delicious and beautifully made. The pastries here are consistently great, and the coffee is solid too. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for working or studying, with plenty of people doing the same. The barista is super sweet, and the outdoor seating area is adorable with a big mural of two pigeons that gives the place such a fun NYC vibe. Highly recommend

Tried their Brooklyn blackout cake slice and it was amazing! Definitely get their house made caramel sauce in your iced coffee! If you’re going on a weekend, expect a line but it moves quickly.
