Welcome Home -- Where the Pastries Are Divine and the Hospitality Is a Performance Art Piece…read more Let me open with an ode: the croissants here are not merely pastries. They are flaky, buttery miracles -- the kind that make you briefly reconsider your life choices and wonder if you've been wasting your mornings everywhere else. The cardamom pastry deserves its own Wikipedia page, possibly a candle in its honor. The sourdough would win awards in cities that actually take bread seriously. I have been a loyal regular, cheerfully handing over roughly twenty dollars a week for these baked wonders, which -- despite being priced as though they were baked by elves in a heritage grain monastery -- are absolutely, defiantly worth it. And then came the incident. I stepped up to the counter, a loyal customer flush with goodwill and approximately $14 in pastry intentions, and made what I believed to be a reasonable, even virtuous, request: "Could you please put both pastries in one bag?" My motivation was ecological. Save paper. Small act, clean conscience. A feel-good moment for everyone involved. Co-owner Isa Steyer regarded me with the expression of someone who had just watched me attempt to mix a Bordeaux with a sports drink. "The cardamom and croissant," she informed me gravely, "don't go together." I want to be clear: she was not concerned about flavor contamination, structural pastry integrity, or some ancient baking covenant I'd inadvertently violated. She was concerned about the concept. The philosophy of the bag. I explained, with the measured calm of a man who simply wants to carry his breakfast home without a doctoral dissertation intervening, that I was going to eat them. Separately. With my own mouth. In the privacy of my own home. She drew herself up and delivered what I can only describe as a manifesto: "Well -- I'm SERVING them." Reader, she was protecting the pastries from each other. I had unwittingly stumbled into a sensory conflict that only she could perceive. The croissant, apparently, has feelings. The cardamom, dignity. And together in a paper bag for the eleven-minute walk home? Unthinkable. A scandal. Perhaps illegal in certain cantons. Funny as this sounds in hindsight -- and believe me, it took a full croissant's worth of cooling down to get there -- it was not amusing in the moment. Ms. Steyer's manner was genuinely condescending, and nothing I said or did had warranted it. I've spent years in the service industry myself. I understand the grind. I understand difficult customers. I was not one of them. Wanting a single bag is not a culinary crime. It is barely even a preference. There is something quietly absurd about being made to feel like a philistine by your breakfast. And yet -- here we are. P.S. I still go. Of course I still go. Do not be naive. I grew up in Germany. My relationship with good bread is not casual -- it is ancestral, almost spiritual, and frankly non-negotiable. The occasional humorless, vaguely territorial moment behind the counter is simply part of the experience now, like paying for parking or waiting for a table. I let it roll off my back. Because the moment that butter croissant hits -- warm, laminated to perfection, shattering at exactly the right angle -- all philosophical disputes evaporate instantly. That said, I've since learned that my bag incident may be the least of it. There are accounts of Ms. Steyer directing real rudeness at Black and Brown customers -- people from the very community this bakery has planted itself in. That's worth sitting with. This neighborhood has a history that predates the sourdough, the carefully curated aesthetic, and everyone who arrived recently to enjoy both. Businesses that come into historically Black communities don't inherit those streets -- they're guests in them, and should carry themselves accordingly. Artisanal excellence is not a substitute for basic respect, and it certainly isn't a pass. The croissants remain extraordinary. But a bakery is also its owners, and that part deserves scrutiny. Na Mean?

This French inspired local bakery sits in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NYC. My ulterior motive for a…read moremorning visit was to attain cruller prior to my two morning meetings in Brooklyn, NYC. Disappointedly, to no available thus I decided one ham and cheese croissant. Although, my second choice was chocolate chip cookie which seemingly also appeared to no available either. There was a line that spewed outdoors waiting to order. The ordering and checkout line moves like a sloth. This is a small brick and mortar bakery with no seating as its purpose is for order and takeout. There is one small self-serve condiment and napkin station. There is a menu posted legible and big lettering on a wall. There is a small selection of retail merchandise as greeting cards, long bandanas and baseball caps. The cards are seemingly appear average design. I would purchase cards that are scenic seaside landscape or nostalgia winter picturesque paintings by Maud Lewis, Canadian folk artist. Ham and cheese croissant $6.00 was paucity for the miniscule ham and cheese imbedded. The size of the croissant was also miniscule. It tasted average and very oily. This croissant pastry was flaky. I am enamored with pastries. I was really looking forward for cruller to fill my morning. No comment for the beverages as I did not order any. Customer service was average as expected. I did attained my sales receipt.

The bakery had a display full of pastries that looked absolutely incredible. I didn't have time to grab one this visit, but I'll definitely be back to fix that. I spent a few minutes talking with one of the staff members about the different sourdough options they had that day. I'm actually not the biggest sourdough fan, but I decided to trust his recommendation. When I got home, I toasted a slice and had it with a cup of coffee... wow. It was absolutely delicious. The flavor was rich, the texture was perfect, and it completely changed my opinion of what good sourdough can be. If you're in the area and love sourdough bread, you'll probably be in heaven here. Right now, the surrounding neighborhood is still being developed, so it can feel like it's in the middle of nowhere. But you can already see where it's headed. Give it a few years, and I have a feeling this is going to be one of "the spots" people seek out. I'll definitely be back for one of those pastries.

I really wanted to love this place. To be fair, we did come when they were close to closing, so…read moreit's entirely possible that it would have been different if we had come earlier in the day. The seating is sparse, but comfortable. I liked sitting at the window bar and watching the world go by. I enjoyed the bread and butter--that was delicious. The biscuit sandwich was crumbly, but tasty. The kouign amann was crispier than most--I liked that caramelization, but my husband didn't. We also shared a custard danish--to me, the berries and custard tasted sour. We did enjoy the sunflower butter cookie. I ordered black tea with milk--it was lukewarm milk water. Lest you think that's because I ordered it with milk, my husband's green tea was lukewarm green tea water. I might eat here again if I were in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't make a special trip (as I did this time). The barista was very nice.

The counter was emptied when we first came but it filled up pretty quickly. We just got a matcha latte and one prix fixe menu to share. For the main dessert, we picked the chocolate and hojicha soufflé. The chocolate soufflé was light and airy and not too sweet. It paired very well with the hojicha ice cream and caramel apple on the side. Overall, all the dessert was pretty good but everything was very small and I don't think it tasted that good that it worth $30. The service was also not that great. My husband and I were a little confused when we first got into the store and we weren't sure if we needed to be seated. A lady that worked there saw us but never greeted us nor gave us water until we asked. It took a while for someone to acknowledge us and it just made us felt a little uncomfortable.

And I had to come twice just for this pastry: BLACK SESAME & OSMANTHUS ROLL.   Eater has recently recognized Breadivore as the next-hype bakery. Located on a quiet street in Park Slope, it is very low-profile compared to other viral bakeries in Brooklyn, but their bread and pastries are definitely top notch.   The space gives cozy vibes with some comfy seatings and long display shelves. They sell mostly French artisan bread and pastries, but some with an Asian influence.   ＊Black Sesame & Sweet Osmanthus Roll $6.25 Inspired by black sesame tangyuan, the owner blends flavors she'd grown up with into European baking. It was nutty, slightly savory from the black sesame and floral from the osmanthus syrup. I really liked the flakiness and subtle sweetness. They only do one batch every day. It was sold out when I arrived at 10:30 on a Sunday, so I tried my luck again on a Friday morning. So worth it! ＊Cardamom & Cinnamon Bun $6.25 The bun was still warm when I got it, spiced with cardamom and cinnamon. It was shaped into elegant knot of laminated dough. The laminated layers made it special, with a glazed top sprinkled with Swedish pearl sugar, and a soft, fluffy center. From this day onward, a regular cardamom/cinnamon bun could never satisfy me anymore.

We shared the black sesame kouign amann, the classic croissant, and the aged cheddar roll. The…read morekouign amann was thick and had almost a doughnut like texture. Pretty rich too. I'm still seeking at pastry more similar to what is served at Kouing Amann Bakery in Montreal. Croissant was my favorite. Light and flakey. Would be a go to spot for me if I lived nearby. At this point NYC has to have surpassed Paris as the best croissant city in the world. The cheddar roll was an interesting savory pastry. Robust and tangy bites of cheddar mixed in with some peppery bites as well as some thick doughy bites. It was like three in one with the variety. This pocket of Park Slope has become one of the best destinations for bakeries in NY!

From how eclectically gorgeous the converted apartment to bakery vibe is to the delicious pastries, I'll definitely make a point to return here regularly. By far the flakiest and most buttery croissant I've ever had - easily one of the top 3 I've had in the city. We also got the ham sandwich which was also delicious - a perfectly crispy baguette paired with salty ham and butter. Highly recommend this spot and cannot wait to return for more!

TL;DR: I love this bakery! It's a great spot to spend a couple of hours / catch up with a friend. I…read morewould recommend it to any of my friends visiting the city. Food: I have tried their croissant, pain au chocolat, and iced vanilla latte. I've been thoroughly impressed both times (more so when I visited earlier in the day) as both pastries reminded me of those in Paris. They have a nice flakiness without being excessive. They're soft inside, and the chocolate inside the pain au chocolat is light enough. I wouldn't sleep on their coffee either: their vanilla latte is probably ranked in my top 5. Service: The baristas here are friendly, and they play some good music on aux. Service is straightforward: you get your pastry immediately, and they'll call your name out when your drink is ready. Ambiance: There is plenty of seating upstairs. I have not had trouble getting a table even though there's usually a small line out the door (it moves fast). Additionally there is free WiFi and a nice restroom. Great location for this shop too: Brooklyn Heights is lively and has many other cute shops and restaurants next door.
