L'Appartement 4F

Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

L'Appartement 4F began as a pandemic pop-up from Gautier and Ashley Coiffard's Cobble Hill apartment (number 4F, naturally), born from Gautier's quest to recreate a truly French croissant in NYC. It's since become a Brooklyn Heights staple, offering a taste of Parisian boulangerie culture with a distinctly New York entrepreneurial spirit. Regulars know to arrive early, as the most popular pastries, especially the specialty croissants, sell out quickly.

★ The Legend

Le Framboise Croissant

This almond croissant with a raspberry chocolate ganache from French chocolatier Valrhona is the bakery's best-seller and the dish that consistently draws lines. Its vibrant tartness from the raspberry perfectly balances the buttery richness and delicate flakiness of the croissant.

◆ Fan Favorite

Jambon Fromage Croissant

While the sweet croissants get a lot of attention, regulars rave about this savory option, praising its light and airy texture with the perfect amount of ham and cheese. It's a consistently reordered item for those seeking a less sweet, equally satisfying pastry.

◇ Hidden Gem

Cheese Boule

Most first-timers flock to the croissants, but in-the-know diners consistently praise the cheese boule for its crispy crust and cheesy layers. It's a surprisingly flavorful and versatile bread that's perfect on its own or with toppings.
