Great pastries, great coffee, awesome backyard (when weather permits), and a deceptively sizeable back dining area as well. Great for an almond croissant, but on weekends go early/late cuz the lines get long (and for good reason)! read more

Wonderful space - a combination of exposed brick, white and wood make this place a warm hideout in a busy city. The selection of baked goods was so wide I didn't know what to go with - it all appealed so much to my love the the baked doughy things. And the personnel was informative and warm. I am hooked. read more

Simple Loaf Bakehouse - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Park Slope has no shortage of amazing bakeries, but I keep going out of my way to make a stop at Simple Loaf on the weekends! I've never had a pastry there I didn't enjoy - the apricot danish, chocolate almond croissant, and baked egg (see picture) are all amazing! They also have the widest selection of vegan goodies I've seen in any local bakery. My friend got the chocolate croissant today, and it was flaky and delicious. There is a great amount of space indoors, as well as a cute backyard or sidewalk seating for warmer days. A good study spot, and I regularly see folks there with books or laptops. There's an espresso bar and more substantial brunch\lunch items for those who want them (or arrive after all the pastries are sold out!). Yum! read more

Tasty lattes, coffees, pastries, croissants and many other goodies. I had the avocado toast, which had sliced tomatoes and pickled radish on top. One dining partner had the egg and bacon sandwich which was literally stuffed with ingredients. Other dining partners were more than satisfied with their pastries and croissants. Very nice spot on the 5th Ave strip. Outdoor dining available both in the front and the back. read more

Audrey was an amazing barista. Great afternoon coffee drinks with fantastic croissants At the close of day, Audrey have a chocolate croissant for free. So happy!! It has an amazing backyard that's perfect to spend an afternoon working or batting or just basking in the sun with a book. read more

Simple Loaf Bakehouse - Bakery assortment - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am a die hard fan of simple loaf! They never disappoint with their pastries (try the pastis de nata) and sandwiches. Their quiche is good as well. The only thing I pass on is their iced tea. A little bitter for my liking. Otherwise delicious and my favorite bakery! read more

I was in the area for the grand opening of The Ripped Bodice bookstore but arrived quite a bit early so decided to find a place for breakfast and the Bakehouse was on my foodie list so off I went. First thing just walking in I was presented with the most beautiful and golden assortment of sweet and savory pastries. It was a bit of a challenge to pick just one as they all looked absolutely amazing and delicious. I went with the baked egg and bacon pastry and an iced coffee. It was so freaking delicious!! My taste buds were singing with how yummy and flavorful it was. I grabbed a sea salt chocolate chip cookie for the hubby on my way out. I definitely have plans to come back and try something else. read more

Simply incredible. And such a nice owner as well! I cannot say enough food things about this place. Great food, great coffee, warm atmosphere. This is exactly the type of place we love to see in Park Slope. Other business owners should take note of its success. Why does it work in Park Slope? The abundance of good, homemade food at affordable prices. Nicely displayed. Warm, friendly workers who seem proud of their store- this is just a critical factor in the success of any business Beautiful, environmentally friendly set-up Not exorbitant or pretentious Centrally located Wifi Kid friendly Delicious and amazing product. They will be a force to be reckoned with as far as other local bakeries. They set the bar high. And, good coffee most of all. Welcome to the neighborhood! You will be beloved! read more

Amazing bakery! Definitely a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. The place has indoor seating and a lot of outdoor seating as well. The coffee was just okay, but the chocolate almond croissant was my favorite. It's huge and has tons of filling! read more

Simple Loaf Bakehouse - Vegan heaven! The best vegan babka I've ever had, incredible and addictive vegan monkey bread and this new vegan pistachio cherry danish - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ok so this bakery is well renowned within the neighborhood. I often see local minor podcast celebrities openly gnawing on their baguettes in the park on third street. This review is for their SANDWICHES. Holy crap this turkey sandwich reaffirmed my faith in the world. Giant chunks of actual turkey, country bread toasted like mamma would make and the mustard and dressing was on point. I kind of wish I didn't know about this place because of the 25 pounds of winter sandwich weight I'm about to put on. I'm a total sandwich aficionado but yet it's been so long since I've found one I would actually go out of my way for. This turkey sandwich is IT. read more

Simple Loaf Bakehouse - Turkey sando - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm a little bit in love with this bakery. First of all, their pastries are humongous! I loved the kouign aman and their park slope sourdough is a delicious example of sourdough with great texture and hole structure. It freezes beautifully too. Their cheese danish was delicious but a tad too sweet for me--I would've liked the cheese flavor to shine a bit more. But they're definitely generous with the filling! In general, there a tiny bit pricey but I think that's reflected in the size of their pastries. Service was great both times I've been and they have a cute outdoor seating area. read more

It's a quaint spot by the Washington Park/JJ Byrne playground. Everything looks delicious. They front and outdoor seating and the staff are super nice and friendly. Highly recommended. read more

The coffee was good, which is why they get two stars instead of one. I can't speak for the breads but the pain au chocolat was gummy, the quiche lorraine was soggy and served with an ice cold center (they did microwave it when I raised the issue), the sticky bun was mushy. My wife liked the avo toast. Although not as expensive as other places , but still not worth the price. read more

Stopped at Simple Loaf Bakehouse for lunch on Sunday afternoon. A wonderful bakery with more than enough baked goods to make anyone happy. Quality: Tried out numerous items from Simple Loaf Bakehouse. I'll start with the weakest item, which was still pretty good, the Large Iced Latte. They clearly put a lot of effort into their beverages, but they are not up to the same level as the baked items. The Park Slope Sourdough Loaf is magnificent, and assured me that any bread item you order is a good option. The two danishes we tried, Apple Danish and Savory Danish with Roasted Mushrooms, Caramelized Onion, and Feta were equally as delicious. The last item we tried was the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. The actual pulled pork was just okay, but the baguette it was served on was excellent. Quantity: Large portion sizes for all the food items we tried. Standard size coffee and espresso drinks. Value: $4.50 for a Large Iced Latte. $6 for a Park Slope Sourdough Loaf. $4 for an Apple Danish. $5 for a Savory Danish. $14 for a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. Ambiance: Simple Loaf Bakehouse is a cute little bakery found in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. Currently they have an outdoor area built out front, but they also have an outdoor space in the back. To prevent guests from traveling throughout the shop, they are sticking to just the front outdoor area for now. When you enter they have all their breads and baked goods on display. They have a second indoor room, which is currently empty, but I assume usually houses some tables and chairs. Crowd: With the limit on number of customers permitted inside, there is almost always a line outside. And even in the cold weather you will find guests sitting at snow covered tables in front with coffee and pastries. Service: Lovely staff, who are extremely passionate about their products. They also are very careful with COVID restrictions, limiting the number of customers in the shop at any time. Parking: A fair amount of street parking in the area. read more

They have this beautiful pastry display when you walk in. All their pastries are so delicious and flaky. Their non pastry items are delicious as well. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich on sourdough. Cold brew is delicious as well! I love coming here. Just know that they do get busy and tables fill up quickly read more

Great sandwiches and ales items, including a bunch of super savory selections. Cute little hole in the wall place, with a wonderful outdoor seating area. read more

I was in the neighborhood to pick up fish from a nearby fish market and spotted the line outside of Simple Loaf. Lots of great looking choices, but I went with a raspberry danish. It is a huge pastry with a nice amount of fruit, sort of like a mix between a typical danish and a croissant. Very good! A little pricey at $5 with tax, but the quality was great. I'd love to come back to try more. read more

So much seating! Both indoor and outdoor (back patio). Was here on a weekday late morning and there was a constant flow of ppl, but not crazy busy. Wide range of customers - group of teenagers casually hanging, elderly couples having quiet discussions, laptop workers sipping on a coffee. It's truly huge so there's space for everyone to do their own thing. Enjoyed my cappuccino. Chocolate babka slice was not super fresh so i'd recommend asking if that's important to you. Still tasty read more

Although the bread here is very good the prices are higher than any of the other very good bakeries in town (runner & stone, winner, Colson). Most recently I ordered a half breakfast sandwich without bacon and a vegan croissant. When I got home the sandwich had bacon. Also, why are you packing me a plastic knife and fork for a breakfast sandwich? In Park Slope?! I think that bothered me more than anything. I have to say, though, the vegan croissant was very good. I'd love to see this place commit to sustainability a bit more and either lower their prices or offer some sort of loyalty card. read more

Great food in a good location, with Street and back patio seating. The staff are equally as great as the pulled pork sandwich and raspberry pastry. Might make a third visit this week, before leaving the city. read more

My favorite is the breakfast cup. Basically it's egg and possibly some cheese, scallion and bacon inside of a crusty croissant like cup. Prices are very fair which is why I frequent so often. Lovely staff. Great neighborhood spot. read more

So glad I found this place. Excellent baked goods but the highlight was my breakfast sandwich...avocado, runny poached egg, bacon on INCREDIBLE bread. Coffee was also delicious. I will return and buy even bigger pants! read more

I am so disappointed in this place!! With a 5 star rating, I was hoping my extreme hunger would be satiated. Unfortunately, this $15 Breakfast sandwich has ZERO flavor. ZERO seasoning. I do not eat bacon so maybe that's why everyone else loves it? I don't know but I cannot even finish the other half!! On top of that, the menu says the sandwich comes with their Rocket salad. When I didn't receive one, I asked and was told that it doesn't come with a salad but they will give me one anyway. Wasn't really sure how to feel about that because it says you do on the menu -- but ok. I was grateful for some greens nonetheless. This "salad" is literally ONLY arugula!! I mean, come on. This is not a salad. I paid $18 for what exactly?? I should have gone to the spot I usually go to. I was hoping this would be my new place since it's so close to me :( read more

Stopped by here to get an iced coffee and saw the Nutella baklava and had to get it. DO NOT pass it up! Holy crap was it amazing! Then of course I see the cinnamon roll, and of course I couldn't pass that up either. I can even begin to describe how amazing both were! Do yourself a favor and get it, future you will thank me and you! read more

Great selection of baked goods. Not the usual Kouign aman you would find at Chanson but it's still very good. It's a lighter fluffier version that leaves you craving for more. The chocolate croissant was huge, almost the size of my face. The taste of these baked goods somehow transports my five year old into her childhood. read more

The pastries here are top notch and made fresh. The pastel is de nata was one of the best pastries I've ever had featuring a luscious vanilla pastry cream and tart raspberries. The breakfast sandwich includees two poached eggs, crisp bacon, tomato slices, cheddar cheese, between two chewy crusty slices of bread slathered with fresh avocado. It's sizeable sandwich and large enough to share between two. read more

Love this place for its amazing fresh pastries and bread they will slice for you. Their breakfast avocado toasts and breakfast sandwiches on their perfectly toasted bread slices are to die for with their solid coffee options. Also can't get enough of their extremely charming garden even during the winter! read more

Seasonal chocolate sourdough bread. Yum! All the breads looked great. Welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

There are no shortages of great bakeries in the area (Runner & Stone and Winner are also top choices) but this place rules when it comes to their pastries, hands down. We are talking a large assortment of both sweet and savory and vegan too! The best vegan croissant I've ever had. Their sandwiches are also tasty and well prepared using their delicious fresh made breads, and they have plenty of seating on their sidewalk area, indoors and also in their backyard. Kudos to Simple Loaf, we are grateful! read more

Ugh, this place is like heaven. Their pastries are to die for! I had intentions to buy 1-2 pastries but walked out with 5, ALL FOR MYSELF. Their pastries are so fresh and crispy. I'm Almost sad I'm not eating one right now. My favorite is their mushroom onion pastry. I never had anything like that before. Get here early since they close at 3pm. Too early for my liking but they probably sell out by then! read more

Just tried them out for the first time and am thoroughly impressed. Great space with ample seating, kid-friendly, but most importantly - delicious breads. Had the ham and cheese croissant and it was perfect (photo attached). Can't wait to try more. read more

Nice small shop with great pastries. The Amanns are one of my favorites along with the Nata pastry, and the croissants.

This place is amazing (I'm a huge fan of their poached egg breakfast sandwich- and their sourdough bread), but I'm deducting a star because they do not offer delivery (in 2023) and so I feel a bit deprived. Maybe they're doing fine without it but... they're def. missing out on a TON of business (even if just from me :) read more

Very good. My expectations were a little too high, based on the reviews and the line. So spots blow you away. Perhaps this would have on another day. Perhaps if the bacon weren't a bit underdone for my taste. read more

insane. as all the previous reviews said, croissants are actually Parisian. not overpriced: $3.50 for a top quality croissant almost the size of my face. very incredible array of baked goods, including beautiful bread. got a sourdough batard and oh my god it has an incredible, crisp, fresh crust and dense doughy inside - perfection. regardless, i'm positive that anything that one would get from here is to die for. i'm just so happy to have found a place with such an incredible croissant. also there's two tables for indoor seating so we actually got to enjoy our food inside :) read more
