I arrived Sunday morning at the crack of dawn! Sunday mornings, my married son always stops by the house before work. Both he and I have been to the other La Bicyclette Bakery location. I'm in Cobble Hill so let me grab a coffee and a few pastries to bring home to my French wife and son. Being the first customer, I see the bakers bringing out the fresh pastries. I bought a beautiful Pear Frangipane Tart, a French apple tart, or "tarte aux pommes" as well as warm croissants. After everything was boxed up and my latte was made, there was a line out the door?? The French Bread choices are amazing, La Bicyclette Bakery is a great bakery making some great authentic French delicacies. read more

La Bicyclette Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

La Bicyclette is easily my favorite local bakery. Loves: + So many delicious, traditional French pastries inside. Some of my faves include: baked ham & cheese, fougasse w/ chorizo and onion, and choco roulé + Home to the $2 baguettes (like their shirt says ok) + Always a line on weekend mornings but when you come on a weekday it's so easy peasy + Lovely and kind staff While there is sufficient seating inside, another good option for seating is the lovely Carroll Park nearby. What would I do without this place?!? Lysm, La Bicyclette!!! :) read more

La Bicyclette Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We have been interested in trying this bakery for some time, frequently parking our car in the nearby neighborhood. Today was the day! There was a small line, so my wife and child (2.5yo) waited outside while I joined. (The shop is simple and cute. There are some merch items to buy, but mostly you are overwhelmed - in a good way - with all the tasty-looking options.) When it was my turn, I asked the lady for some recommendations. (I sometimes feel bad doing that, since it was busy - and perhaps I should know what I am looking for.) Her first choice was the apple turnover, which I am always drawn to, but since I was sharing, my wife prefers chocolate - could be risky! Her second was the pistachio tart - she described it elequently with the apricot having a touch of sweetness. Lastly, "the pain au chocolate is always good." I also asked about savory options, but none of her recommendations there sounded good at the moment (she mentioned the salami.) She finished by telling me that the apple turnover had come out of the oven less than 30 minutes ago. Another reason to choose it! (She was lovely through the experience; I was glad that she had strong opinions and didn't mind sharing them.) In the end, I went with her three top choices and was not disappointed! We started with the tart - so delicate and lightly flakey. The flavors went very well together and really melted in your mouth. Next, the apple turnover went over better than expected! (with my wife, I knew I'd love it.) Our daughter referred to it as the pie -warm, flakey - like autumn in your mouth. The pain au chocolate was good, too, but to be honest, I think most of them are. Felt like a good third choice in case the others were not up to snuff - plus as I said, my wife likes chocolate. All in all, a really solid French bake shop. They have the standards along with something a bit new and exciting. The bread also looks great. Excited to have finally made it and look forward to our next visit! read more

I came by on a Saturday before closing and many items were sold out, so definitely come early. Since I was already there, I decided to try a seasonal Caramel Popcorn Tart ($6) and the Pave Loaf ($6), which was recommended as their Baguette was sold out and what I really wanted. The loaf was pricier and described as softer, which was a bit disappointing to me. Once I got home to slice the bread, I was barely able to cut because it was so hard. While the bread was chewy inside, it lost its texture by the next day sadly. I do enjoy the flavor for the tart though, but not something I'd get often. Hopefully I could try something better, but didn't find the baked goods here all that special. read more

Carol Gardens neighborhood staple. Nicest people who actually love what they do. Sandwiches bread, sweets read more

I've had their baguette, which is good, not exceptional, but the price is right. Their other offerings were good as well. Most employees are really nice. HOWEVER, closing at 1pm is absurd, especially since they run out of most items way earlier. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to make it there during that ridiculous (for a bakery) small window of opportunity. read more

This is part of a very successful chain. The delicious smells are intoxicating.You cannot go wrong with any of their croissant or danish. Prices are r trend reasonable. $4.$5 a piece. Ham cheese a bit more but it's a meal But their baguettes for $2 are the super stars. We adore their sandwiches. They have French ham, compte and French butter. There is a fig jam and Brie. And our family favorite is salami, cornichon, arugula...all on those award winning baguettes. $12 a piece. Service could not be friendlier! read more

I was so happy when a La Bicyclette Bakery moved into the neighborhood. I've only been to the Greenpoint location before, but this bakery fits right in here. Flooded with natural light, there is a small seating area inside as well as counter seating. There is also a small outdoor section which is perfect for the warmer months. Home to fresh baked baguettes, croissants, and other amazing pastries this is the perfect comforting spot for a stop in during a weekend morning stroll. I just beat the rush on a Sunday morning and walked in for my morning coffee and left with a fig & brie baguette sandwich as well as a mushroom & red bell pepper quiche to be greeted by a line about 10 people deep. Everything here is fresh & delicious and the coffee is STRONG. Highly recommend a visit. read more

Brooklyn loves a good bakery and we out of loyalty, will travel great lengths to patronize those that consistently offer deliciousness. I have a few faves of my own: Radio Bakery, Bakeri, Poppy's, and of course La Bicyclette Bakery is added to this list. This is my second visit to La Bicyclette Bakery and IMO this bakery is a fine authentic French Boulangerie baking with the freshest ingredients. The result: Quelle Magnifique! It makes me feel as if I'm back in a Paris boulangerie; the gorgeous artisanal breads, croissants and baguettes. Then there are the assortment of pastries: Oreillon apricot, Pear Almond Tarte, Apple Tarte (one of my faves) Sweet brioches, Pain Aux Raisins and Chocolate Roule to name a few. The savory sandwiches include fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil and the outstanding Ham and Cheese. Not just your humdrum H & C but the freshest ham on a delicious baguette with my fave, Comte cheese.. talk about elevating this simple jambon-buerre ( that's sandwich in French for all you Parisians!) It was one of the best I've had! In fact, I asked to have my jambon-buerre sliced in half to take half home.. well that didn't work as I devoured it all. They also sell sweet and savory condiments to create Parisian delights at home. Additionally, you can purchase their cute T- shirts. The bakery has a small eating area with cute little wooden side tables. The staff is friendly, sweet and professional as they serve and slice with pride. A touch of Paris is in the air in Cobble Hill. Comme c'est doux! LBB has three locations: Cobble Hill, Williamsburg and Fort Greene. Fawn has 3 special destinations to one of her faves. What would make Fawn happier? You know... open one in Bay Ridge! read more

5 stars for their baguette. It's the best baguette I've ever had and it's only $2. 3 stars for their pastries. I've tried five different pastries over multiple visits and every single time I'm disappointed. Everything looks like it would be light and flakey but they are dull and sad in reality. They definitely look better than they taste unfortunately. I keep giving their pastries a chance and every time I say never again. Just stick to the baguette! read more

I was in the area for an appointment and stopped in La Bicyclette for a quick pastry for breakfast. They have A LOT of pastries to pick from and I ended up going with the apricot pastry. It was really good - just the right amount of sweetness. I'm definitely coming back next time to get some baguettes and bread - they're super affordable and look absolutely amazing. Staff were very nice and friendly. read more

I love french bakeries so much! I was happy to learn about this bakery + that it was actually very close to the Trader Joe's I go to. We ordered so much items to share: 1) $2 fresh baguette, 2) 2 baguette sandwich (ham+cheese & arugula brie w/ jam), 3) apero baguette (ham&cheese variation), 4) almond choco croissant, 5) choco croissant), 6) croissant, 7) choco roule, 8) chasson aux pommes, 9) apricot oreillon, 10) financier, 11) berry danish, 12) pear almond. We also ordered 1 iced latte + 1 hot latte. Baguette - I have tried many different baguettes in NYC + this one was pretty good and for a good price ($2). But it isn't the best baguette I have tried - I recently tried the laminated baguette from Alf's Bakery + that was mind blowing. Baguette sandwich - The ham+cheese one was good, but the star was the arugula brie w/ jam one! Apero baguette (ham & cheese variation) - This one was pretty good when toasted. I see more cheese pieces on it than ham. Almond choco croissant - Out of all 3 croissants I tried, this one was my favorite. Soft & great flavors! Choco croissant - This one was good, but not the best I have eaten so far. Croissant - The one was good, and also not the best I have eaten so far. Choco roule - It was good but not my most favorite Chasson aux pommes - If you like to eat things that are similar to an apple pie, then you would like this. This item was one of my favs from here. Apricot oreillon - delicious! This apricot pastry was yum! Financier - I would skip this item. It was ok. Berry danish - not much berry or cream in this pastry. It was ok. Pear almond - it was quite tasty. The lattes were standard. Staff were friendly + there is indoor area to sit down and eat your pastries. read more

I came for Sunday breakfast in a recommendation from my cousins. Once again, they did not let me down. We lucky only had a couple people infront of us inline and were able to snag two of the limited seats in the back. Definitely plan for this to be a grab and go situation as the line grew after we got our food. We got two of their prepared sandwiches and this is probably the best baguette I've ever had. Both sandwiches were immediately devoured. I especially liked the Brie, fig jam, and arugula sandwich but the crunch from the cornichons was also superb. The pastries and coffee are also really great. read more

Great addition to the area! I've been a few times and have enjoyed everything. My favorite pastry has been their savory chorizo and cheese pastry. So unique and can't get it anywhere else. The most recent time I tried their ham and cheese croissant and a blueberry financier. Both were excellent. The croissant was $9 so definitely something great if you want to treat yourself :). Will be back many many times. read more

Came here because we had some time to kill. I honestly had no idea what to order, do they even have a drinks menu? Aside from the layout and not so accessible menu, I still enjoyed the salami and arugula baguette sandwich that I got. It pleasantly surprised me how fresh and flavorful the ingredients were. Hope you guys put up some more signage so people know what to order! read more

Fresh pastries, very friendly staff, but as a member of this community for quite some time- it still very much looks like Sals Pizzeria that was there before them. They need a few interior and exterior changes to really make their new name in the community. Even the outdoor awning is the same color as the pizzerias was. Another suggestion is some more seating. This neighborhood thrives on casual hangouts for our old timers and new comers. ESPECIALLY being across the street from our well known Le French Tart Bakery, you guys have some competition as it is! Some outdoor seating would make you stand out for sure. Lastly, please get the front door fixed. It is SUPER HEAVY and hard to open, and I'm strong ! Quality of treats here are fresh and baked new everyday- so I will be back for sure. But my suggestions would increase my rating... I will give you guys some more time to settle in and edit my review! Congrats and welcome to the neighborhood read more

Drawn in by the long lines on weekend mornings. Everything looks delicious and a homemade baguette for $2 is great. On the other hand, a ham and cheese croissant for ...$9! How can this be when a chocolate croissant is $4.50? Please take some of that $9 and apply it to some interior paint, as it still looks like old Sal's Pizzeria. read more

Adding a third offspring to their family, this artisanal bakery is really spreading their joyous joie de vivre. They produce one of the best baguettes in the city, with its crusty exterior yielding to a textural crumb. Their regular and seasonal viennoiseries are classical yet creative with their add ins. No shortcuts are used to create these darlings. As much as I love my sweets, the breads are were my love lies. read more

La Bicyclette has the most delicious fresh croissants. I was first mesmerized by the ham and cheese croissant, then I came back the next two days to try the almond and the chocolate (they also have a combination chocolate almond and a variety of other flavors if you're feeling adventurous). Although there is no indoor seating, there are a few spots to sit outside, including the two benches out front on Court St. Their drip coffee is strong, and their employees are always amiable. read more

Delicious baguettes for only $2. Everything we have tried here has been stellar. Super friendly staff. More than I can say for the French spot across the street. This is our new spot. Happy to have it in the neighborhood! read more

Delicious bakery with the perfect ambiance and staff! Baguettes are light and airy but just chewy enough.
