Bakery

La Bicyclette Bakery

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

A neighborhood French bakery specializing in slow-fermented organic sourdough baguettes and laminated viennoiserie. Founder Florent Andreytchenko, who began his baking apprenticeship in France at age 13, imports French flour and butter to replicate the exact texture and flavor profile of a Parisian corner shop. Arrive before 10:00 AM if you want to secure one of their ham-and-butter jambon beurre sandwiches before they sell out for the day.

★ The Legend
Baguette
This organic flour baguette is famous for its glass-like, deeply caramelized crust and an airy, open crumb structure. Regulars buy them by the armful to slice at home for breakfast, especially since the bakery intentionally keeps the price at an incredibly accessible two dollars.
◆ Fan Favorite
Almond Croissant
A twice-baked masterpiece that uses a rich, house-made almond frangipane paste to achieve a dense, custardy center beneath a shatteringly crisp exterior. Regulars pair this heavy, sweet pastry with a bitter double espresso to cut through the intense butter and nut flavors.
● Chef's Pick
Pavé Loaf
This rustic, block-shaped country bread is made with organic flour and undergoes a rigorous 96-hour cold fermentation process. Chef Florent Andreytchenko highlights this extended fermentation because it breaks down gluten proteins, making the dense, deeply flavorful loaf exceptionally easy to digest.
◇ Hidden Gem
Pain Sportif
Most visitors walk right past this dense sourdough loaf in favor of the sweet pastries, missing out on a hearty crumb packed with dried cranberries, hazelnuts, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Regulars know to buy a whole loaf, slice it thin, and toast it with salted French butter for an incredible breakfast.
Insider Tip

Arrive by 8:30 AM on weekdays if you want to snag the fresh baguette sandwiches before the morning rush wipes out the selection. If you are planning a weekend picnic, you can bypass the long morning line entirely by placing a pre-order on their website for pickup.
