Supermoon Bakehouse sells a rotating menu of croissants, cruffins, eclairs, and doughnuts, and its founder is credited with popularizing the cruffin. The Infatuation's review says the shop draws "consistently long lines on the weekends," which it ties to a "Supreme-style marketing strategy of swagg-y packaging and weekly pastry drops." A Lower East Side bakery guide from New York's Pork puts it more bluntly: "They frequently have lines out the door, and hour-plus waits aren't uncommon weekend mornings."
The line here is a takeout counter line, not a table wait, and supply is the real constraint. ABC7 quotes the shop noting they "only make so many pastries daily so supplies are limited," and New York's Pork says the cruffin "often sells out by noon." The recurring advice across coverage is to go early; food blogger Mike Chau told ABC7 the pastries are "worth getting up early for."
damnlines does not have a camera at Supermoon Bakehouse, so nothing here is a live count. Every wait figure above is what press and guides have reported, not something we measured. For live line data a few blocks away, we do run cameras at Prince Street Pizza in Nolita and at Lucinda's and Banh Anh Em in the East Village.

New York's Pork's Lower East Side bakery guide writes that "lines out the door, and hour-plus waits aren't uncommon weekend mornings," and The Infatuation describes "consistently long lines on the weekends." It's a takeout line, so it keeps moving, but damnlines has no live camera here and can't give you a current number.
Coverage consistently points to going early. ABC7 quotes a food blogger saying the pastries are "worth getting up early for," and New York's Pork notes the cruffin "often sells out by noon," so weekend mornings before the crowd build are the tradeoff between selection and a shorter line.
No. It's a walk-up bakery counter with takeout packaging, so you order in person. Pastries ran about $4 to $6, per ABC7.
Often. ABC7 quotes the shop that they "only make so many pastries daily so supplies are limited," and New York's Pork says the cruffin "often sells out by noon." Popular weekly-drop items tend to go first.
