Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Brooklyn

Rania • December 11, 2023Really really good plain croissants. They also have an interesting chocolate version where the entire croissant is mixed with chocolate. Price is about $5 per plain croissant w/ tax

Andrew H. • July 20, 2021This is the best gelato I’ve had in Brooklyn and probably NYC! The flavors are rich but not overpowering and transport you right to Italy. Get the panna on top if you like fresh whipped cream.

Karthik R. • September 18, 2014Amazing beer selection. Try the pretzels too - soft and fluffy

Amira B. • July 5, 2015Great service and amazing beer selection. Will certainly be coming back -- both for a drink at the bar and a growler to go!

Elisa • November 8, 2020Campagne loaf, pain au chocolat, and croissant. Very fresh. Super friendly staff. The lineup is worth it!

BrooklynBoyO • November 25, 2018Dinner will amaze your date, dessert will seal the deal for the night. Sit at the kitchen-facing benches to watch all the delicacies from creation to fulfillment.

Edwina M. • November 6, 2022Awesome vibes both inside and outside, decent food and price point. Perfect for a warm night.

Hollie F. • April 10, 2019I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Relaxed, casual, canteen style Italian, with simple, low-cost but delicious fresh pasta dishes. Simplicity & subtlety of flavour trumps everything else.

Chris E. • October 28, 2023Everything on this food menu is delicious. Try it all.

Laura I. • September 9, 2014You can't go wrong with Bakeri's pastries. Try the skolbread, financiers, and pain au chocolat. Fresh ciabattas make for excellent sandwiches too.

Steve • May 10, 2023Best coffee in BK 👌🏼

Selina A. • February 13, 2022Whipped ricotta, cauliflower, hummus - all delicious with their fresh pita! Entrees are always a hit, too - the items rotate every so often.
