A Brooklyn Bakery for Buttery Croissants and Sourdough
Flaky croissants lead the pastry case at a Columbia Street bake shop that also turns out sourdough and baguettes.
🥖 Fresh Baguettes
Brooklyn French Bakers is the kind of neighborhood bake shop that wins you over at the door. The buttery aroma hits first, and the pastry case does the rest, with exceptionally flaky croissants front and center.
The focus here stays on simple, high quality baking. Croissants share the ovens with fresh sourdough and baguettes, which makes a bread run easy to tack onto a pastry stop. Grab a loaf for later, a croissant for right now, and enjoy the friendly, unpretentious welcome at the counter. It is a straightforward neighborhood fixture, and locals treat it that way.
Plan the trip around the schedule. The shop opens at half past seven AM Tuesday through Saturday and stays open until four PM, while Sunday runs from half past seven AM to three PM. The doors stay closed every Monday, a detail worth remembering before you walk over.
Find it at 273 Columbia Street in Brooklyn, and make a croissant the opening move.
