    Walked in on a sunny weekend around 11am and there was barely a line and plenty of selection. Some of the pastries I tried were hit or miss (and maybe more of a personal preference), but overall I would definitely come back. There is a wide selection to try! Inside looks small, but there's surprisingly a good amount of seating in the back, both inside and out. If there's a line to order it moves incredibly fast. Some standouts were the nectarine danish and jalapeño cheddar croissant (recommend getting it warmed up). I personally found the egg cup pastry a bit bland, though it seems popular. Even though there's some béchamel sauce inside, it didn't have much flavor and I didn't love the hard boiled egg inside - thought it would be more like an egg soufflé.

    The goods!

    My Park Slope friend raved about this place (ranked #1 out of her list of ten or so local spots) so I had to check it out during my nyc staycation. I woke up earlllllly and got there at 7:15a per her recommendation to see the display when it's "beautiful and full." And that it was! Options galore. Naturally, I was overwhelmed and wanted to get everything. After a couple of deep breaths to take in all of the aromas, I went with the rational (who even am I!?) choice and opted for two pastries--a sweet chocolate croissant and a savory egg bake. They were magnificent choices. I quickly walked back chez moi and for a second thought that it was too early to eat. But no, that egg bake lured me in. It was warm and creamy and flakey and savory and omg just divine. I proceeded to have the whole thing at 7:27a. Not a crumb was spared. And then late morning came around and I remembered I loved myself enough to also get a pain au chocolat. I have a pretty good artisanal bakery in my 'hood, but I had yet to taste a chocolate croissant stateside that equally distributes their chocolate on both sides...until Simple Loaf! Wowie! I loved every balanced buttery flakey chocolatey bite from left to right. Simple Loaf is simply a must try! Ohhh the things I would give to wake up to pastries like these every morning!

    Super cute bakery! The blueberry muffin was good, and the oatmeal cookie was excellent. The staff member who helped me was very friendly.

    Overall, I think this is a nice bakery. There is quite a bit of seating in the back as well as an outdoor patio. We ordered a few laminated pastries as well as two breakfast items. The quiche we ordered was incredibly tasty; the crust was perfect, and the egg mixture melted in your mouth. I was less enthused about the mushroom danish and strawberries and cream pastry. They were not as flaky as I would've liked and the flavors didn't wow me. I would definitely go back for their other menu items though!

    Such a charming bakery! I LOVE their sourdough! But a boule and take it home--it's the best!

    My fav artisan bakehouse in Park Slope, Brooklyn! It was my second visit and I could proudly guarantee that their pastries never let us down. It was quite busy at weekends but they provide plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, which is rare for a bakery! The backyard seats are comfy for gatherings or working, with a clean restroom. *Hot Cross Buns I came during Easter weekend and surprisingly found that they had hot cross buns! Best excuse to grab the once-in-a-year festive bread to celebrate Easter Sunday. Hot cross bun is a sweet yeasted bun marked with a cross on top in memory of crucifixion. The ones by Simple Loaf were studded with tangy raisins, citrus peels, yet the mixed spice was rather mild. It was denser than I thought, but we really enjoyed the complexity of flavors. Better eat it fresh as the bread texture becomes harder over time! *Kouign Amann This kouign amann was HUGE. Probably the largest one I have ever seen so far lol. The exterior was fully caramelized with crystal sugar. A bit on the sweeter and crispier side for my liking. Yet the interior was puffy and drenched in buttery fragrance! My Recommendations: Hot Cross Bun, Pasteis de Nata Worth Returning ? YES DEFINITELY

    Tuna melt

    Ordered a croissant, half tuna melt and cappuccino to go. Coffee is decent and sandwich was good. They offer half sandwiches for $9 and it comes with a small side salad which isn't bad for the price. They also have a wide selection of pastries to choose from from croissants to danishes and more. There is outdoor seating on the street as well as a cute backyard area in the back. Try to go early since many of the pastries sell out before the afternoon.

    I enjoyed coming here for their wonderful pastries. They also have a little sit down in the back. Their pastries are the bomb and so are their breakfast. I went with my husband, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law's boyfriend. My husband either got the turkey or the BLT, I can't remember. I got the 1/2 avocado sandwich with a side salad. The boyfriend got the french toast, and I can't remember what my brother-in-law got. I don't remember him getting anything. The avocado sandwich was amazing. You feel super full and healthy after eating it. I also tried some of the challah french toast - it was almost like a pudding consistency, it was that soft, but still really good. I recommend you come here to get pastries and maybe sit in the back or back patio and enjoy it in the sun. The line gets long here so get there early!

    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.
