Aly Orady: A medium sized banana bread pudding is perfect for one person :).. Even if you think you don't like banana. The cookies and magic bar are worth skipping.

Aly Orady: Some say the cronut is overrated. Those that say so have overlooked how delicate and perfectly executed this pastry is. It's worth the 90 minute wait in line - it's art not food.
Aly Orady: The Rochers are often overlooked, but not to be underestimated. The most affordable item at the bakery they are sweet little treats, crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Chocolate Nib...

Bakery · Lower Pacific Heights · 225 tips and reviews
Aly Orady: The Kouign Amann may be the best in the USA. Perfectly crispy and caramelized on the outside, soft on the inside, and with a sugar-butter syrupy center. Can't to wrong!

Aly Orady: The Brooklyn Blackout - chocolate cakes + pudding + ganache is where it's at. It's usually not available until noon time or later. Don't stop by in the morning or you'll be left empty handed :)
Aly Orady: The passion fruit curd stuffed donut I had in September was mine blowing. Like many of their flavors, it's seasonal... So waiting till next year :)

Aly Orady: The Brioche Vanilla French toast (special) was perfect (custardy, great texture, great flavor). Their "Poached Eggs", which is essentially an eggs Benedict is very well done - had mine with Salmon.
