French bakery known for flaky croissants & viral croissant cereal
"A neighborhood bakery that supplies fresh baguettes and other baked goods; staff will set aside loaves for regular customers to ensure availability, a convenience relied on by private chefs and hosts assembling casual spreads." - Rayna Rossitto
"A croissant-focused bakery that opened in 2022 and quickly drew viral lines, born from a pandemic-era experiment when Ashley and Gautier Coiffard baked croissants and baguettes out of their Cobble Hill apartment and sold out within hours; the couple—new to running a business—were persuaded to take a Montague Street vacancy after a neighborhood survey showed strong demand for a bakery, and a landlord willing to take a chance helped turn the venture into a catalyst for the street’s culinary revival." - Andrea Strong
"Husband-and-wife team Gautier and Ashley Coiffard opened this Brooklyn Heights spot in 2022, and several years later, there are still lines on weekend mornings for the warm croissants and their viral petite croissant cereal. Beyond the classic croissants, there are chocolate, almond, raspberry, pistachio rose, and one topped with everything seasoning. There’s a space to sit upstairs, as well as a few tables dotted on the sidewalk outside. The team also expanded into the West Village earlier this year." - Robert Sietsema
"L'Appartement 4F, the Brooklyn Heights bakery that began in an apartment before achieving modest fame for its mini croissant cereal, now has a takeout counter in the West Village. It's currently in soft open mode, so there are no set hours, and certain items might be sold out when you get there—but if you stop by one morning, you might be able to snag a pastry still warm from the oven." - will hartman, bryan kim
"This Brooklyn spot staged a whimsical, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory–inspired Halloween, complete with a ‘scrumdidilyumptious’ vibe and a hidden golden ticket tucked inside boxes of its signature croissant cereal." - Bettina Makalintal
