"Pastry chef Ryan Butler’s eponymous shop is comfortable and exudes just the right amount of Brooklyn cool. Though savory menu items are on offer here in addition to a full coffee menu, do check out the sweets. Seasonal fruit is folded into the sugar bun rolls, orange Bavarian cream dresses up squares of poppy seed cake, and dense chocolate cake gets topped with swirls of cream and candied cherries. Butler’s morning glory muffins are a particularly elegant way to start the day: The combination of carrot, coconut, and pineapple is offset with a curl of passionfruit cream cheese icing." - Daniela Galarza
