"From two alumni of L’Appartement 4F, it’s not surprising that this small, bright corner spot in Bed Stuy has quickly become one of the best bakeries in New York and a destination for laminated pastries. You’ll feel right at home with the warm hospitality of owner Isa Steyer, and will want to make repeat trips back whenever they introduce new items, like their latest one, Kory’s Bed Stuy blackout cake. It may be the densest, fudgiest chocolate cake in town, so get here early when they put it out in mid-morning, but linger for a bit to score one of their savory lunch sandwiches after to balance out the sweetness." - Mike Chau
