Brooklyn Croissants Worth an Early Weekend Start
Pick up buttery croissants and pain au chocolat early at a Lorimer Street counter where weekend pastries sell out by noon.
🥐 Croissants on Lorimer Street, Brooklyn
Nick + Sons Bakery serves Brooklyn croissants and pain au chocolat from a counter at 892 Lorimer St. The baker behind that counter, a photographer named Nick, built the shop on Icelandic bread culture and greets everyone who walks in. The croissants arrive buttery, with a crunchy crust and a soft center, while the pain au chocolat balances its layers with chocolate. A blueberry oatmeal cookie rounds out the order. Weekend items sell out by midday, which rewards an early arrival. The bakery opens at half past seven and closes at 2 PM every day, and the room has no seating, making this a takeaway pastry run.
