"Run by an alum of cult favorite Arcade Bakery, Alf has a loyal following of its own thanks to its much-hyped laminated baguettes (imagine the love child of a croissant and a loaf of bread). But this tiny bakery in the basement of Chelsea Market has more to offer, like a mushroom danish, and sandwiches at lunchtime. While you’re there, you should also grab a lemon sugar brioche and half a sourdough miche to quarter and freeze at home." - willa moore, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
