Breads Bakery

Serving hospital visitors and staff near NYU Langone, this bustling spot pairs its acclaimed bakes with a highly variable pace. While the cinnamon rolls earn high marks, the pain au chocolat can disappoint, and you may want to explicitly request your burekas be heated thoroughly to avoid a cold center. The counter staff are friendly but often overwhelmed; slow, confused drink service means it is not the place for a rushed coffee before an appointment. Note that the kitchen may start packing up and closing down displays hours before the official evening closing time.
