117 BRIGHTON Beach BAKERY & DELI INC

The Best Restaurants In Brighton Beach

"The first thing I notice whenever I walk into Bakery La Brioche is the distinctive smell of caramelized honey. Then, I start taking in the wall-to-wall selection of pastries, cakes, and cookies. It’s pure sensory overload, and it’s absolutely delightful. Despite the French-sounding name, Russian sweets are the specialty at this bakery. Traditional layered cakes like medovik, made from thin layers of honey cake and sour cream filling, are sold by the pound, though you can also pick up individual slices. There are a shocking number of desserts here for under $10, so try everything that looks good and share it with someone you like. Or don’t." - carina finn koeppicus
