Yet another amazing bakery in Downtown Brooklyn, more specifically in Prospect Heights. The place is small but has pretty hefty variety of savory and sweet backing goods, some of which are pretty unique. I really liked from the savory offering kimchi bun and from the sweets is peach Danish. The croissants are one of the most delicious that I was ever had. Also they have seriously good coffee, I mean like really really good with a bold flavor without being overturned. The place is quite popular so expect some line standing especially in the morning, especially on a weekend. I definitely will be back for more.

Great neighborhood cafe. Croissants I ate fresh baked. And the baguette is very nice. I would come back for that. This spot is small with just a few high chair. They aren’t that busy after 2pm and it’s a good spot to meet friend. Friendly service.

Got there shortly after opening on a Wednesday, and especially enjoyed there sesame kouign amman and tomato cheese danish. Everything was tasty and had a nice texture, however! Looking forward to going back for the crullers on the weekend!
