La Bicyclette Bakery — Restaurant in New York

5 stars. This is a legit Parisian bakery. I am frequent traveler to Paris and I would say it’s better than many bakeries I’ve tried there. Everything was so fresh and well crafted. You can tell there is a lot of passion and TLC in making the breads. Crossiant was perfect and not greasy. The baguette was not hard but airy and easy to pull apart. They have a good variety of sweet and savory breads and sandwiches. I also got the popular pave loaf which is mostly fermented and sourdough so easy on my gluten sensitive stomach. The only downside is it closes early at 1pm and it’s in Williamsburg so if you’re not close you have to make it a point to go there but it is worth the trek. I went at 10am on Friday and there were about 10 people and everything was in stock. I can imagine on weekends lines would be much longer. I would love to go back and try their other sweet treats. Drip coffee was mild and flavorful as well. What a great experience, it brought be back to Europe and is unlike any other bakery in nyc. I also love the croissants at l apartment 4f and I would put this another croissant type category but these are the top two croissants in nyc imo . Don’t hesitate just go you won’t be...

The sweet nuttiness of Comte & salty Jamon, nestled between a slim baguette, is the perfect bite to keep you going throughout the day. The food's only given a 4-star because we can't do halves, so, it should be a 4.5-stars. Also, everything should be warm, otherwise, the beauty of each bite can be lost in either the hardening that automatically happens once cooled and/or staleness that can set in. Hardness did happen, not staleness but we still wolfed everything down because it's THAT GOOD! The buttery richness of each pastry: The Danishes, our choices: Blackberry and Blueberry. The juiciness from the berries are still in tact once baked. The danishes are flaky largesses of divine greatness with French butter oozing from each layer! The Raisin aux Pain is JUST as pillowy and fruity with plump raisins. The Almond Croissants give slivered nutty satisfaction, with or without the infusion of chocolate. Our last bites of French delights was the Chorizo, Garlic, Parmesan, Carmelita Onion Bagels are as long as your forearm and every bit of savory, salty goodness! Overall, 4.5-stars &...

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...
