Columbia Street Waterfront District, Brooklyn, NY📍 Maps
Brooklyn French Bakers started as a passion project among three French friends—Sabrina Laboure, Nelly Azambre, and Teddy Collet—who met in Brooklyn and wanted to share their culture through baking. What began with home-based baking and online orders during the pandemic quickly blossomed into a beloved neighborhood spot. It's a place where the aroma of fresh bread and pastries fills the air, embodying a true taste of France in the heart of Brooklyn.
★ The Legend
Croissant
This isn't just any croissant; it's a multi-award winner, taking home 1st place from the jury in 2023 and both 1st place from the public and 3rd from the jury in 2025 at the French Morning competition for Best Croissant in New York. Each one is meticulously crafted with layers of butter and dough, resulting in a perfectly flaky exterior and a tender, airy interior.
◆ Fan Favorite
Pain au Chocolat
Regulars rave about the generous size and rich, buttery quality of this classic. It's a divine combination of their signature flaky croissant dough wrapped around high-quality chocolate, making it a consistently reordered treat.
● Chef's Pick

◇ Hidden Gem
Quiche
While many flock for the pastries, in-the-know locals often grab a quiche from the refrigerated case for a savory and satisfying meal. These are often featured in their 'Surprise Bags,' offering a delicious and often overlooked option for a quick lunch or dinner.
Insider Tip
First-timers often just grab a pastry and go, but you're missing out if you don't consider their savory options for a full meal. Instead, check their refrigerated case for quiches or tarts, especially if you're looking for something beyond a sweet treat. This way, you get to experience the full range of their French culinary expertise, perfect for a quick and authentic lunch.
