"Partybus is known for their breads, but the monster cookies here deserve acclaim too. They’re perfectly round and have some heft to them, but not so much that you feel like you’re holding a hockey puck when you pick one up. They come in a few different flavors, but we’re partial to the classic chocolate chip—which gets a textural punch from oatmeal—and the deeply satisfying, brownie-like double chocolate. The texture is chewy without being too soft, and there’s a distinctly buttery flavor to the dough." - carina finn koeppicus, neha talreja
"A vegan and gluten‑free bakery from Sadelle’s co‑founder Melissa Weller and the team behind Fish Cheeks and Bangkok Supper Club, described as offering “American‑style baked foods for people with dietary restrictions” and set to roll out this summer. Weller—whose recent projects include Gertie and earlier High Street on Hudson, and who has baked at Per Se and Roberta’s—brings her bagel and pastry experience (notably a cinnamon cardamom roll) to the concept. Prior to the bakery’s debut, the team is opening a Williamsburg location of one of their Thai concepts with neighborhood‑specific menu items." - Melissa McCart
"Partybus Bakeshop on the LES not only has the best bakery name in all of the city—it’s also an excellent place to eat carbs in all of their many virtuous forms. To prepare for the holiday, preorder one of their pies, which are also available (in limited number) for walk-ins. There are classic flavors like pumpkin and apple, but also some more interesting ones, like ginger pecan, spiced pear crumble, and miso caramel custard." - hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus, molly fitzpatrick
