Go to Elegante pizza way better pizza and they're not trying to rob their customers for sales tax.

Tried this new bakery ( location 2224 Ave X, not Ave U) today through the UberEats and had mixed…read morefeelings, so sharing an honest review for anyone curious. The good first: the pastries did taste fresh (not stale or frozen), and the chocolate éclair itself was genuinely tasty -- smooth filling, balanced sweetness, and the best item from my order. But the execution + value were disappointing, especially for the very high prices vs to prices and sizes for similar items in multiple nearby bakeries. Packaging / delivery issue: the two éclairs were put together in one box without being secured, so during transit the chocolate ganache rubbed off and smeared onto the mango éclair. For $7 per éclair, that's not acceptable -- they need to separate or secure them properly. Almond croissant: very small and had only a thin layer of almond filling with NO sliced/shaved almonds, which is not what you expect from a classic almond croissant! Raisin & custard croissant-many people think of as a "raisin + custard spiral", traditionally called Pain aux raisins (also known as an escargot). This one tasted fresh, but had no custard at all -- basically a raisin spiral without the cream component. Mango éclair: the filling was bright orange but tasted strongly acidic, extremely sour, more like citrus or an apricot/citrus gel than mango -- no real mango flavor or aroma. It didn't smell spoiled, but it was not what was expected based on the menu. Coffee: very mediocre, flavorless and arrived barely warm, definitely Do NOT recommend wasting money on that when even regular franchise coffee shops produce much better tasting coffee. Overall: freshness is there, but portion size, packaging for delivery, and flavor accuracy need improvement. I'd come back for the chocolate éclair only if they fix packaging, size vs price & quality control issues and will tighten up the recipes/descriptions.

The coffee, by the way, is terrific -- nice and strong. Prepare it as you like it, at the station against the wall. Alas -- another fattening stop for me when I'm in the area!

I was in the Kings Highway neighborhood at 8am because I had to wait 4 hours for my daughter to…read moretake a high school entry exam. I started to scope the area to figure out how to spend my time when I came across this gem. As soon as I walked in, the staff was welcoming and asked me if I wanted to sit down for breakfast or order pastries. Since I had some time to kill, I sat down and ordered a small Turkish coffee, which came along with a glass of water and a baklava. The water was necessary since the Turkish coffee was super strong. The problem was that it wasn't big enough. It eas served in a teacup that looked like it came straight out from Alice in Wonderland. It definitely was adorable but now I know to order a large if I want a normal sized coffee. While I was drinking my coffee, I noticed that the other table had ordered this appeasing dish in a skillet. I asked the waitress about it and she told me that it's a Turkish dish of tomatoes mixed with eggs, onions and peppers called Menemen. I asked for it and it was what I needed on a cold day. The combination was like an explosion of flavor that I needed to wake me up. It was also a lot for just $13.37. I ended up paying for everything with just a $20 bill including for a large cup of Turkish tea. I liked the food here so much that I plan on coming again another weekend for breakfast even if it is not close to my home but the long trip is worth it.

I'm not really a cookie / cake / pie person, but the challah here is, for sure, one of the best…read morechallahs I've had in my entire life. Even better than Ostrovitsky and Shloimy's, which are some of the best Heimish challahs in Brooklyn. I'll tell you why. The crust is deep golden brown and massively crusty and flaky. Beautiful egg-wash sheen. The inside is soft, fluffy, and golden, which just a hint of sweetness. Lastly, they have garlic and onion challahs, which make the challah taste like a garlic or onion bagel. So yummy. And when you tear a piece off for breakfast the next morning or two and slather on the butter, it is the perfect companion for your morning coffee. I generally don't eat challah except for kiddush, but the onion and garlic challah here is so tasty that I'll snack on it the next few days.
