    Ham and cheese
    Pippa T.

    Still on the hunt for the perfect ham and cheese baguette, and La Bicyclette is a solid contender. The ham and comté came through strong -- maybe a touch too strong for my taste -- but the baguette itself was a great contrast: light, fluffy, and well-balanced. Not the best I've had, but a hearty, satisfying sandwich worth stopping for

    Hands down, so yummy!!! I stopped by right when they opened, and everything on display was definitely looking fresh. I ordered a sandwich that had arugula (I forgot the name), but it was so light and refreshing with all of the ingredients. Eating an entire baguette sandwich did not weigh me down at all!! The service was quick and they were patient while I was deciding what I wanted to get. The decor was simple, and it had plenty of seating!

    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.

    Blueberry Danish

    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!

I keep on returning back for their flan. This time, I tried their fruit napoleon and it definitely hit the spot. Their cookies are also super fresh for gifting to folks or hosting.

But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

    Really great Donut Shop in Greenpoint Brooklyn, with the Old Skool Polish Neighborhood Vibes…read more The Donuts here are FANTASTIC - huge selection, super sweet & highly caloric but if you're gonna go for it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot! There's usually a line to buy donuts but they have tons of women working behind the counter in their retro smocks, filling orders & slinging pastries. Cash Only! No credit cards or mobile payments accepted. They do have an ATM onsite if you don't have cash on you (not that rare these days - I've been caught lacking here from time to time...). Perhaps the greatest quote ever to sum this place comes from the inimitable Tina Fey who discovered the treats here years ago & had this say @ Peter Pan: "The best doughnut? That's Peter Pan doughnuts in Brooklyn... It's a white-cream-filled powdered doughnut. And I really believe, when I first tried it, if I had a penis, I would put it in this doughnut. I finally understand what you guys are thinking about and what motivates you guys." She's not wrong...

The shop has an…read moreeat-in section that gives off diner vibes, but the counter section is fast-paced, interactive, and serving customers as soon as they walk in. There were several choices of donuts and pastries. They were all very fresh. There are plenty of donut spots to visit in NYC and beyond, but make sure you stop by Peter Pan the next time you are in town. 5/5 Til we eat again....
