"Another Greenpoint bakery turned out 'this beautiful creation' that 'is like a Pillsbury Toaster Strudel. No notes!' —a pillowy, nostalgic strawberry-forward pastry that leans fully into breakfast-before-school memories. —Nat Belkov, associate creative director" - Nat Belkov
"This is a cinnamon roll for people who listen to jazz on vinyl and can confidently recite the names of every elected official who represents them, all the way down to the community board. The Greenpoint bakery’s roll has no frosting, just a dusting of powdered sugar, and there’s only a subtle sweetness to its pillowy soft dough." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman
"Even at 10am on a Thursday, people line up at Nick + Sons in Greenpoint, typically for the croissants, which are dense and chewy, with a rounded shape that makes it look like they’re ready to burst. More crackly than they are flaky, the crescent-shaped pastries have one main, very appropriate tasting note: butter. For something more substantial, try the ham and cheese kind. There's also a Jersey Shore location, and the Williamsburg original, which is temporarily closed." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman
"The Greenpoint bakery offers the croissants that pull in crowds, in flavors like almond, za’atar, and everything seasoning — plus cardamom buns, fruit tarts, and other baked goods. Its East Williamsburg location has closed permanently but the McCarren Park spot along with its Spring Lake, New Jersey location remain open." - Robert Sietsema
"A nearby bakery providing baguettes for The Snail's escargot dish, known for its quality baked goods." - Bettina Makalintal
