    My favorite bakery in The Heights! It is truly such a delicious amazing bakery that I have no complaints. Well that's a lie, my one complaint is that I wish the mini croissant cereal wasn't sold out so often! But how can I blame them because their stuff tastes SOOOO good? I've been to France multiple times and let me tell you this place is the real deal! The space is typical of any spot in the city, not super big. Expect when you come there will be a line because they are that good, so prepare yourself and don't be annoyed! Service is quick and kind! I love how the staff recognizes regulars it gives off such a family environment. This is 1 of 2 locations. I wish they would expand!

    I drove all the way from NJ to Brooklyn to finally try L'Appartement 4F, and I'd say the trip was worth it. We arrived roughly an hour after they opened, and thankfully there wasn't a line. It was a weekday so I guess it's less busy. The bakery is charming, and since they have a few outdoor seats, we enjoyed the nice weather that morning. We tried several of their most popular pastries, starting with the almond raspberry croissant. The croissant was crispy on the outside, and perfectly flaky inside, with just the right amount of raspberry filling. It wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Next was the cinnamon roll. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite. Personally, I prefer the Radio bakery better. I like a cinnamon roll with a bit more structure and chew, while this one was very soft and fluffy. It's just a matter of personal preference. The chocolate chip cookie was excellent--chewy, rich, and exactly what you want from a great bakery cookie. On the other hand we also had the chocolate cookie that was very similar looking to the LU brand, but we didn't like it. To drink I ordered an iced almond milk latte. It was fine, but nothing particularly memorable compared to the pastries. I really enjoyed the visit. While L'Appartement 4F isn't my favorite bakery, everything we tried was well made and flavorful, and Im glad I made the drive to experience it. If you're in Brooklyn, it's definitely worth stopping by.

    TL;DR: I love this bakery! It's a great spot to spend a couple of hours / catch up with a friend. I would 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.

    Croissants were lovely: chewy and flaky. I loved the pistachio paste for the pistachio one. The cinnamon roll was also soft and chewy with great icing. And the chocolate chip cookie too. ~10 minute wait at 10:30 AM ish. There was a bit of a line, but it moves pretty quickly.

    I was in the area on a random Wednesday morning and decided to try my luck. To my surprise, there was no line or wait time and there was ample seating. The music was very calming, setting the tone to allow for a break from the hectic world outside. The staff were pleasant and helpful. FYI there's a bathroom located on the second floor. The ham and cheese croissant was my favorite! Their pastries are so flaky on the outside yet so moist on the inside. L'Appartement 4F is definitely worth the hype. Pro Tip: come before 9:30am on a weekday to avoid the crowds and noise. I will definitely be back.

    Loved this bakery, particularly the cinnamon bun and the chocolate chip cookie. Expect a line on the weekend but moves fast. I liked that there was ample seating upstairs.

    A long line on a saturday afternoon after checking out the cat cafe nearby (its very cute). The line moved way faster than expected and all told we only waited less than 10 minutes surprisingly. The two pastries were absolutely delicious, up there with all the great bakeries around NY. This place deserves a visit if you're nearby! There is also a lot of seating and a restroom upstairs.

    The pistachio rose croissant was yummy. Could've been flakier. Unfortunately considering all the hype I'm not sure it was really that mind blowing of a croissant. Luckily the line on Saturday afternoon wasn't too long but they did run out of savory items.

    Unfortunately this croissant felt a little underwhelming to me. Didn't really flake, tasted almost like a common Costco croissant to me... maybe I got a dud. Nothing wrong with Costco croissants, but I thought this would have tasted better/different. Waited on line for half an hour for this and a chocolate croissant that also turned out to be just fine, nothing to write home about.

    Such a cute little bakery in Brooklyn! There's a small area to order on the first floor, and then ample seating on the second. It's a cute little cafe that gives you Paris vibes. I got their chocolate croissant and it was sooo good. Flaky, buttery, and the perfect amount of chocolate. My husband got their Salted Maple latte, and really liked that too!

    Obsessed with this spot - it's worth the wait to be able to enjoy one of the rose pistachio croissants but everything I've ever had there has been delicious. Don't sleep on the sourdough either!

    idk what those lower rating reviews are talking about lOL you haveeee to get the CROISSANTS!!!! First off the line builds up and get pretty long since it's a small space. And once they sell out they close! Get there early during opening 10am -11am The line moves pretty quickly. There is sitting upstairs and they serve water as well! Which I thought was cute. We ordered the pistachio rose and the le framboise. Both were delicious, fresh, moist, great filling, perfect amount of nuttiness from the pistachio... I can go on and on lol WILL DEFINITELY VISIT AGAIN!!! 10/10/10/100000

    Come for the croissants and check your cholesterol after! Wayyyy after. I would not be surprised if a whole stick of butter is used on each one of these giant, flakey behemoths. My personal favorites are the raspberry almond and the Nutella almond croissants. They also have a rose pistachio croissant that my friends really obsess over plus pistachio financiers for all you pistachio lovers. If you're looking for just classic French bread, they do have those available but limited quantities so you better go early in the morning. To avoid the long lines I highly suggest getting here before 9 AM. If the line seems short that means it IS short and you need to jump on it immediately or have regrets. They are now also open for wine bar nights Wednesday to Saturday, which I have been meaning to try. Sounds like a really cute date night idea. Ladies, drag your man here (or figure out how to subtlety push him to take you). Vive Les Croissants!

    Do things sell out in the morning? When would be the best times to go?

    I got there at 8:15 AM and they were already sold out of the croissant cereal. Sad.

    Will it be open on Monday, 1/16/23?

    Yes! Regular hours will be 8a-6p

    Mia's has become my go-to for when I'm looking for a sweet treat or looking to gift someone some…read moresweet treats. Every item I've tried has been delicious. I keep on returning back for their flan. This time, I tried their fruit napoleon and it definitely hit the spot. Their cookies are also super fresh for gifting to folks or hosting. The spot itself is spacious and the service is wonderful. I like that they have outdoor seating as well for summer nights. It's become a regular spot for us when we're craving a sweet treat!

    There are some places that become part of your family's story, and Mia's Bakery is one of ours…read more We've been coming since the day it opened on Smith Street, and everything we've tried, the rainbow cookies, the tres leches, the cheesecake, has been wonderful. But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.
