replying to u/serenaVD: Brooklyn French baker for the best croissants, pain au chocolat, and a very good chocolate chip cookie. The bearded baker for fun treats (my kids love the cookie stuffed with a Rice Krispie treat) and macarons. Ciao Gloria is all-around delicious - baked goods and sandwiches.
“The puff brioche loaf at Brooklyn French Bakers… I have never made it home from the bakery with that loaf intact. I should just buy two.”

replying to u/goldenapple212: There’s a bakery renaissance going on. Check out Librae, Radio Bakery, and Bread and Butter (it’s in Bed-Stuy but worth the trip). Maybe check out some Russian or Georgian food in deep Brooklyn.
