Breads Bakery · 1230 Avenue | New York

This Midtown Manhattan spot provides a break from the neighborhood's rush. The counter pairs its baked goods with artisan coffee roasted in Brooklyn, which accompanies a menu of breakfast sandwiches, salads, and fresh cheese sticks and hummus. While the pastries are baked to a soft, airy texture, the daily selection also includes chocolate cake and fresh loaves of bread.
