Easily my favorite bakery. Everything is so délicieux! My 2-year old is obsessed with their croissants. I usually go for the spinach and cheese croissant. The petit jambon baguette sandwiches remind me of my time in Paris in my 20s. If I ever need a quick pick me up or a treat, I walk over to Bread Story. I always …

Bread Story of New York is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warm aroma of freshly baked bread that instantly makes you feel at home. Their selection is incredible—everything from classic baguettes and sourdough to unique artisan creations like olive ciabatta and walnut-raisin loaves. The quality of the bread is unmatched—perfectly crusty on …

So delighted we stopped in! We enjoyed a chocolate almond croissant and I had a flat white which paired perfectly. Staff was very kind and there was little to no issue finding seats. We’re in town to see a show at Daryl Roth Theatre and happy to find a nice place to pass the time.

I love this spot. The coffee & baked goods are both great, my favorite is the cheese bread. There’s always a line showing just how good it is and everyone behind the counter is kind & fast in getting to everyone ordering. The only thing I wish is that there was more seating!

When I learned that the former head baker of Maison Kayser opened a bakery, I knew I had to check it out. As soon as I opened the door, I felt that Maison Kayser certainly lives on: the cookies, the chaussons, they all looked so familiar. Yes, the space is much smaller, but the same spirit is there. I was …
