Pixie and the Scout catered our wedding in 2019. The food was amazing and our friends will still…read morebring up the food every time we reminisce on that day. Katy and Jonathan had a great selection of seasonal, farm-to-table dishes to choose from and we had full confidence that the dishes would be excellent regardless of what we actually selected. In addition, the team managed the bar, setup, breakdown, and rentals at the venue we selected, as well as coordinating with the florist, balloon vendor, and dessert vendor. Their team is kind, responsive, and experienced and I cannot recommend them highly enough. There was an abundance of food and they have very competitive rates. We were able to get a family style dinner without breaking our budget. My wife and I have experienced many elements of their business, from catering (at our wedding and at other events), to dining in, to COVID takeout. Every time, the quality of the food and service has been top notch and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Went here last night for Kate & Jonathan's monthly seasonal Supper Club dinner at a long communal…read moretable which was decorated with wheatgrass sod (I'll admit I was eating the centerpieces and chewing on the super flavorful wheatberries...) and little potted ferns. Fantastic time in a magical, whimsy and woodsy space! BYOB (and share with your neighbor). Expect dinner to be a long/late night affair but a totally worthwhile experience that you'll leave from having made a new friend or two. Almost like a baby Brooklyn version of Woodinville's Herbfarm. The food was great, though not quite filling. Would definitely recommend their catering/event services. After ringing the doorbell, you're invited through the warehouse doors into a commercial kitchen studio where the magic happens (Tinkerbell herself cooks here). Highly recommend checking out a Pixie Scout event -- to anybody who LOVES Hudson Valley food and farms and culinary exploration. They also offer workshops and classes in topics such as Preserving, Butchering, Fairy Dust on Your Spice Rack, and Being Generally Awesome (maybe not the last two).

What else can I reiterate---their seasonal baked goods (Christmas and Easter) are outstanding. What about Italian ice? Excellent. I love their Custard ice made with toasted almonds.

Don't take my word for it. Just go.

We got thumbprint cookies and something that reminded me of a Kouign Amann, which were also great. My biggest disappointment was the tiramisu as I found that almost inedible. I'm not sure if it was just a bad batch or what, but it was sour, dry, and the bitter from the chocolate only enhanced the undesirable. The shop is a small space with plenty of options to choose from and staff is quick, but nothing is labeled so be ready to point/ask.

I picked up my order on the day I needed it and Marhaf greeted me directly. Both the baklava and kunafa were so wonderful, especially the kunafa, which I've never had before.

If you have never had Syrian sweets before and are curious (as I still am), place your orders!

These were without a doubt the best baklava I've had in a long while! The company was incredibly responsive and prompt and the sweets delicious. I will absolutely order again. :)

What a fun virtual French crepe cooking class with Danielle and Lily from Michel et Augustin…read moreon...Instagram. If you would have told me that I would be doing a cooking class this summer on Instagram, I would not have believed you. Now, I would recommend bookmarking the summer series, Baking With Our Buds. If you miss an "episode", you could still follow the recipes that are posted on their Instagram. Crepes have always seemed exacting to me. Danielle and Lily were the perfect team to learn how to cook a family recipe that we all successfully muddled through together. Loved how the chefs on the "call" gave helpful baking tips along the way. Helpful Hints- Whisk the eggs, milk and water, then add the melted butter Whisk the flour, sugar and a pinch of sea salt Slowly add the dry ingredients by 1/3 increments to the wet ingredients and continue to whisk Add the beer, watch it bubble and the wait an hour for the magic to happen The batter will be thin Butter your pan Use a ladle to pour the batter onto a hot skillet Have fun with sweet or savory fillings. We did a combination of both. Mushrooms, broccoli, arugula and havarti or arugula, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and a fried egg were the favorite savory options. Nutella and banana or grilled peaches, blueberries and ricotta with powdered sugar were the dessert top choices in our home kitchen. Would be great with Brie and apples or a smoked salmon combination as well. The combinations are endless. Merci to Danielle and Lily at Michel et Augustin for a delicious, healthy summer meal. Can't wait to bake with you again and good luck with the nationwide launch of your cookies into the Whole Foods Markets. Bon Appetit!

These donuts are vegan and their menu changes weekly, so it can be a treat. The employee recommended the Cinnamon Roll ($10), so we got that. Then also added a Mini Donut ($5) in Berry Mint Mojito flavor. Since it was towards the end of the day, she also tossed in a complimentary Lemon Blueberry Poundcake Donut, which was nice. We took our donuts over to the Brooklyn Bridge Pier to enjoy since there's no seating here. The cinnamon roll was quite tiny and a bit too hard and doughy. While the regular donuts were pretty, none of it really stood out to me in terms of flavor and texture. To be honest, I don't get why the cinnamon roll made this spot popular. Also, I felt a bit deceived about the cinnamon rolls being made with sweet potato, but it's moreso in the filling than the dough. Even then, still didn't really taste it. Overall, just very expensive for the donuts and roll.

These donuts are natural and delicious. Our toddler was crying because they wanted their own donut and the person behind the counter very graciously gave a complimentary sugar donut and this led to big smiles all around.
