Otway Bakery

The 22 Best Bakeries in NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You might know Otway as the restaurant in Clinton Hill where you can eat a fried chicken sandwich and drink a bloody mary. But they also have a bakery (four storefronts away) that’s quietly making some of the best baked goods in the city. Try the sticky cardamom bun, and a plain croissant that tastes like it went to Oberlin, began wearing Birkenstocks with socks, and got a little crunchy. They also make chocolate-brown sourdough loaves, and you should get your hands on a croissant dog if you can. There’s nowhere to sit, so grab some pastries and a coffee for the road. Some of the baked goods, including the cardamom bun, are also available at the restaurant." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
