Recently at the Union Square Greenmarket in NYC, purchased a few of the baked goods including the Sourdough Focaccia bread and the Sourdough Rye Seeded Raisin bread, and they were both delicious, and natural, organic, local, where Lost Bread mills the whole grains themselves, and using almost all whole grains. The Focaccia had a very flavorful local oil alternative to evoo and tender whole garlic cloves mixed in, and herbs, while the raisin rye had a very dense yet moist interior with many raisins. Among the few bakeries I've seen that have whole grain, including dark rye cookies, and whole wheat croissants. One of my favorite bakeries, and wish I knew about them sooner. Update: 1/20/2023: I tried their whole grain apple muffin and their whole grain caramelized onion scone at the NYC Union Square greenmarket today, and both were flavorful without too much sugar, and I posted pictures below. 1/25/2023: Tried the potato pesto handpie at the nyc union square Wednesday greenmarket, pictured below, made without yeast, and with whole grain spelt, sea salt, and butter. The small hand pie had a surprisingly tender flaky crust for a whole grain and had a tasty, savory flavor and texture instead of typical overly sweet hand pies. 3/24/2023, Friday: Among my favorite baked goods is the (whole grain) spelt chocolate chip cookie, pictured below, made with natural ingredients. 4/21/2023, bread crumb cake, a great snack packed for...
Read moreAfter my experience at this shop, I really wish I had paid better attention to the reviews posted here. I have never felt more unwelcome in a business throughout all the years I've lived in this city until now. The management was beyond rude and honestly quite arrogant. My order was taken incorrectly by the staff there and when I addressed it, Alex, who I believe is the owner, very quickly dismissed my complaint and made no effort to resolve it while essentially telling me to quit holding up the line. Looking at some of the other reviews made here, it seems like other customers have had the same experience as I did and it really baffles me that this place still continues to attract business. I honestly believe the recent five star reviews that have been made have been facilitated by the staff in order to diminish the genuine complaints of the community. This city has so many authentically charming and delicious places to eat and I hate that establishments like this somehow seem to get all the attention of the tourists that...
Read moreSome of the best bread in Philly - not a small feat by any means. Their Japanese Milk Bread is one of my favorite loaves of slicing bread, cannot go wrong with it. They also typically have a great selection of more "rustic" loaves but across the board, the flavor of these loaves are complex and ultimately delicious. Beyond the bread, they have tons of smaller treats like biscotti, granola, and their famous (albeit very expensive) pretzel shortbread cookies. You'll see the price, bristle, buy them anyway, and not regret a single thing. Lost Bread's physical location in Fishtown is charming, and if you're lucky you can find them at night markets and good grocery stores in...
