The New York bakery world famous for its cronut pastry that was knocked out of business temporarily last week after a health inspection found mouse droppings reopened Tuesday at 8a with a long line of customers waiting outside. But the Dominque Ansel Bakery on Spring Street is fighting hard to restore its reputation — and what it considers unfair criticism due to its success — by introducing a 'Rocky' cronut.A photo posted on Instagram shows the donut inspired by the famous series of movies about boxer Rocky Balboa, who was played by Sylvester Stallone. It shows a cronut with dark chocolate frosting on top and a yellow golden star. The Dominique Ansel Bakery in Manhattan reopened Tuesday and to honor its comeback made a special 'Rocky' cronut just for the occasion The cronut, which was only available today to mark the reopening, was made 'as a symbol of our dedication and resilience,' according to a bakery news release.The photo also shows a card net to the cronuts with a famous series of lines from the 2006 movie Rocky Balboa, the sixth movie in the 'Rocky' franchise and said by the title character.

'Let me tell you something you already know: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows....You,me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward,' the card reads in part.'Taking this opportunity, we have completely fortified our facilities with a full reconstruction and re-cementing, taking every issue seriously in an effort to provide an even more pristine environment for our guests. As you know, we cook in completely opened kitchens, so everything we do is in full view.'However, the bakery also said it was facing 'malicious attacks' due to its success. 'Looking forward, our hope is that honest, hard-working businesses should not have to face cruel and sensationalized attacks that are not framed in the proper context,' the statement continued. 'And systems should not be abused to single-out any one business over another.

We urge our customers to seek deeper details and answers before jumping to conclusions. 'And regardless of the hits, we will take every chance and criticism as a lesson learned and work harder to rise to the expectations you have of us and that we have of ourselves.'
