Hand-Crafted Balthazar Breads and Pastries on Spring Street
A Soho spot for Balthazar's signature hand-crafted breads, pastries, and fresh lunch fare.
Why this stop works ✨
Balthazar Bakery has worked Spring Street in Soho since 1997, built as the takeout counterpart to the restaurant for anyone who wants Balthazar at home or at the office. The kitchen leans on traditional methods rather than shortcuts, and it shows in the crust.
The daily selection covers hand-crafted breads and pastries alongside fresh lunch fare, enough to grab a loaf for the week or a full midday meal. This is the pared-down, grab-and-go version of a Soho institution. Traditional-method breads from a Soho institution are the reason to walk in over the chain down the block.
At 4.6 stars across a small count of 15 reviews, the early crowd rates the breads and the convenience. Come in for a loaf and a pastry, add a lunch item if you are eating in the neighborhood, and take the bread home while the crust is still crackly.
