    The goods!
    Yodalis M.

    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.

    Challah French Toast

    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!

    Baked egg with bacon

    I just recently visited this place this weekend and I can't believe it's taken me so many years to finally stumble upon this place! The shop is small but has decent inside and outdoor space. The bread is soo crispy and fresh. I'm a big fan of pulled pork and while it's not the best one I've ever had it does satisfy the taste buds. Very juicy and flavorful. The grilled cheese is also very cheesey with multiple cheeses (I couldn't discern which ones). The breakfast sandwich is classic ingredients in really fresh pair of toasted bread. Really the bread is the best part of each meal. Don't order too much because it definitely does not taste as good or do the food justice when you eat as leftovers! Take from me who tried.. the waffles looked really good ! I think will try next time I go.

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

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
