    Was so disappointed. After reading all the great reviews decided to try this spot and their famous baguette. The baguette was not very amazing and their pastries were even worse. Tried the danish and the sugar pastry in the picture and they were not very good. But for 2 dollars for a baguette you can't go wrong.

    I love this bakery! When I heard Action Bronson frequents here, I knew I had to stop by. The prices are very fair, and the pastries are extremely photogenic. Finally, the taste of each is thoughtful, complex and fresh. Everything you want from a bakery, essentially. Check out this blueberry danish and tell me it doesn't look good. 5/5!

    Stopped in as it was mentioned many times as a bakery to visit when in the area, so I did. I arrived right before they opened so they had a full case of pastries. The space is small like most nyc businesses but the staff were friendly. While it's hard to follow this with somewhere like radio bakery I tried to be open minded. I was upset to see they are on the trend of a case full of laminated pastries. We get it. If you can make 4 laminated pastries we believe you can make 10. So unfortunately it makes the selection feel small. I went with the pear almond tarte which was decent. It was probably average over all. Nothing remarkable but certainly not bad enough to say "I can't even finish this". Over all I think it's an average bakery from what I experienced and while I'd stopping if in the area I would inconvenience myself to go here. With that said if you're in the area drop by and pick something up

    While the line went out the door it was worth it. Everything looked great but we ended up getting an apricot crasont and raspberry tart. Both were great. Filled with fresh fruit and creamy filling, they were both light and flaky. The line moved quickly as well so it ended up being pretty quick all being said.

    TL;DR: THE CARBS ARE WORTH IT Bakeries are a dime a dozen already - let alone in hip and 'young' Williamsburg That said, La Bicyclette kicks ass and you should absolutely come The pastries. The coffee. The staff. ALL GREAT! Merci beaucoup, La Bicyclette!

    Funny enough, I pass by this bakery all the time but only recently was prompted to go cause my best friend from San Diego watched a youtube video that featured this place. There was a line but it moves fast. I got a pastry and baguette which are decently priced, especially for williamsburg. It's a very good bakery.

    I sometimes have felt that the croissants in New York are better than in Paris. The same cannot be said of NYC's baguettes, which are universally subpar. Until La Bicyclette that is. Their baguettes are of the highest caliber, and they even have Beurre de Baratte and other French butters available so that you have all the makings of a perfect weekend breakfast. For the weekdays, their croissants are also superb.

    Plain croissant
    Mohamed K.

    It's so great to have a proper French bakery in NYC! We bought a few items: Plain croissant (decent but could be flakier and more buttery). It's $3.75 which is inexpensive given the flour and butter are imported from France, and it's labor intensive. Baguette: so light and fluffy, crispy on the outside, and only $2, it's a no brainer Blueberry Pastry Cream: spectacular, the best item of the ones I tried. The cream is delicious and flavorful and creamy and light all at once. And the pastry was nice and flaky. 10/10 Chocolate and Almond Croissant: it was good, a solid pastry and it's not something I normally buy. Fig jam Croissant: this was only available the day we went in (a Saturday). It was really nice, the cream was delicious and fig itself and the past. It was $8 which is not bad for the amount of work that goes in. Service was friendly and quick as well. There isn't any room inside to eat, it's just a grab and go type of place, and outside there are two benches.

    Blackberry pastry
    Gab G.

    This bakery has been on my list for ages and it did not disappoint. I happened to have their bread at Fradei in Fort Greene a few weeks earlier, and it was on my mind ever since, so I paid a visit on a Saturday morning around 9:30. Line was out the door, but it moved quickly and I had everything in hand 10 mins later. The haul: + Baguette + Cold brew + Apricot pastry + Croissant The baguette was fire - and only $2!! - and the apricot pastry was also incredible. Super solid croissant, too. Everything was so good that I got back in line and ordered a blackberry pastry for the road. True Paris vibes!

    Ended a Friday morning group run at this lovely neighborhood bakery at the group's recommendation. We showed up 10-15 minutes before opening but you could see the staff hard at work preparing the goods, as well as customers starting to line up around the corner. Don't fret, service is equally quick and friendly and there's plenty for everyone. They have a nice mix of offerings such as breakfast pastries, croissants, baguettes, loafs, and even sandwiches for an afternoon snack. If possible.. Try. Everything.

    Jambon Comte
    Nathaniel P.

    TLDR: favorite jambon buerre/Comte in the city. Croissants are some of the best as well. I come here at least once a month from Manhattan just for a jambon beurre and any of their pastries. Easily one of my favorite bakeries in NYC. I even purchase my butter and other French products here. Sometimes theres a line, but do not fret, it typically moves quickly!

    Another solid French bakery in Brooklyn. A solid 4.5 star bakery that is definitely in competition with Bakeri, Tin Building, Dominique Ansel, and Radio Bakery. I have yet to try L'Appartement 4F, but La Bicyclette has extremely restrictive hours, in which the store is open from 8am-1pm. The croissant was a perfect 5/5 and the pear almond tart as well as apricot croissant were almost perfect at a 4.5/5. I have been to many top bakeries in France and Normandy including Cedric Grolet, Philip Conticini, Pierre Herme, Moderne Boulangerie, Chez Meneur where they were awarded the best crossiant Grand Prix awards, so a 5/5 is really difficult to pull off in relation, but well done La Bicyclette! They also have the much coveted Galette de Rois, otherwise known as the "King's Cake" or "Epiphany Cake" in which they honor the French tradition of hiding a "feve (little toy porcelain figurine). I have to try the baguettes as well as the sandwiches the next time I'm in the Williamsburg area as I'm local to Greenpoint.

    Blueberry Pastry Cream (~$5)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Croissant (~$4) Croissant Amande Choco (~$5) Blueberry Pastry Cream (~$5) Fig Jam Croissant (~$8) - special of the day French Baguette (~$2) Aya's take: Cozy French bakery in Brooklyn! La Bicyclette is the real deal serving fresh pastries at reasonable prices. Everything we had was really fresh and well-made. The standouts were the Fig Jam Croissant and Blueberry Pastry Cream. The Fig Jam Croissant was the special of the day and I'm so glad I snagged one. The croissant was flaky, the fig jam was sweet and nutty, and the fig on top was so delicious. The vanilla bean cream (at least that's what I think it was) was unbelievably good - I can have a dollop of that on a croissant and be in heaven. So good! The Blueberry Pastry Cream was also really nice balanced from the sweet and tart blueberries to the smoothness from the cream to the crisp croissant. Even the Croissant Amande Choco really surprised me. The worker said this is one of the few spots that sells a chocolate almond croissant and if that's the case, this is a top contender. It has just the right amount of almond, almond paste, and chocolate. I liked it the more I ate it. The Croissant was a solid classic and the French Baguette was super fresh but honestly if you're not planning to eat it that day or within a few hours, skip it. It got pretty hard despite storing it properly. Proper bakery in Brooklyn with great pastries, definitely recommend checking them out!

    Pastries are beautiful and tasty. Bread is authentic and fresh too. Coffee is good. It's easy to see why they are busy.

I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!

It was filled with rich, decadent chocolate and a layer of jelly that balanced everything out without making it overly sweet. My significant other hasn't stopped talking about it since! We're already looking forward to coming back to try more.
