I'm a huge bread lover, so I had to stop by Brooklyn Granary & Mill the other day, even though I…read morewas in a bit of a hurry. I'm really glad I did. 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.

This was probably (actually definitely) the best experience I've had with ordering a custom cake in New York. You can tell the owner cares about getting everything just right -- his team flawlessly executed on my last minute ask for a carrot cake and even delivered it to me! Previous experiences with other bakeries are so stupidly expensive and don't even taste good. Not the case here. I'd gatekeep but the owner is one of the people you meet and just have to cheer for.

Stumbled upon this delicious gem and hole in the wall!…read more We were in the mood for some delicious croissants and as soon as you walk in, it's a very tiny space, big enough for you to order and go but the perfect size for producing fluffy baked gold. I'm a chocolate croissant type of girl for ever for always especially if it has nutella. When seeing the almond croissants they sell here, yup, I just had to. Hubby ordered the chocolate croissant which was delicious and flaky and baked to perfection. But the almond croissant just hit different. The almond paste inside and the shaved almonds on top with a bit of a crunch were my fave. We walked to a little community garden a few steps away and enjoyed our baked goods in the sun surrounded by nature. It was the perfect start to our day!
