"Zachary Golper and his partner Kate Wheatcroft brought a new level of perfectionism to baked goods when they opened their first shop in Boerum Hill in 2011. The crust on their loaves is bien cuit, or well-burnished — sometimes almost black on the edges. Another is the crumb, or bread’s interior, and Bien Cuit’s bread is held aloft by a dense network of bubbles. Though Golper’s miche is one of the city’s best, and his baguette (with its sharply curved slits) one of the city’s most beautiful, the pastries he puts out are equally lovely and unexpected." - Eater Staff
