House-baked pastries in Bushwick.

Most cafes don't bake their own pastries. We do — every morning, in-house, starting at 4:30 AM. By 8 AM the croissants are still warm, the danishes are out of the oven within the last 90 minutes, and the muffins have just set. This page is the full pastry menu and what we'd recommend with each.

Year-round pastries

• Butter croissant — $4.50. The classic. 81 layers of European-style butter.
• Almond croissant — $5.50. Filled with almond cream, topped with sliced almonds.
• Chocolate croissant — $5.00. Two batons of dark chocolate baked into the lamination.
• Cookie of the day — $3.50. Rotates: chocolate chip, oat raisin, peanut butter, ginger molasses.
• Muffin — $4.00. Daily flavor varies.
• Scone with jam — $4.00. House-made jam.

What makes our pastries different

• European-style butter — higher fat content, more lamination, better flake.
• French-style flour — more delicate texture for laminated dough.
• 3-day croissant process — dough is started two days before baking.
• 81 layers of butter in each croissant. Industrial bakeries do 27.
• Real fruit — pumpkin is real pumpkin, apple is real apple. No "pumpkin spice" syrups.
• No frozen dough — everything mixed and shaped in-house each day.

When to come for fresh pastries

The case is fully stocked at 8 AM. By 11 AM on weekends, the most popular items (almond croissants, sticky buns in fall, danishes) often sell out. By 2 PM the case is thinner. By close (5 PM) the leftover items go to staff or get donated.

For specific pastries, come before 11 AM on weekends. For weekday browsing, anytime is fine.
