The sweet nuttiness of Comte & salty Jamon, nestled between a slim baguette, is the perfect bite to keep you going throughout the day.The food's only given a 4-star because we can't do halves, so, it should be a 4.5-stars. Also, everything should be warm, otherwise, the beauty of each bite can be lost in either the hardening that automatically happens once cooled and/or staleness that can set in. Hardness did happen, not staleness but we still wolfed everything down because it's THAT GOOD!The buttery richness of each pastry: The Danishes, our choices: Blackberry and Blueberry. The juiciness from the berries are still in tact once baked. The danishes are flaky largesses of divine greatness with French butter oozing from each layer!The Raisin aux Pain is JUST as pillowy and fruity with plump raisins.The Almond Croissants give slivered nutty satisfaction, with or without the infusion of chocolate.Our last bites of French delights was the Chorizo, Garlic, Parmesan, Carmelita Onion Bagels are as long as your forearm and every bit of savory, salty goodness!Overall, 4.5-stars & a MUST visit!

Authentic French bakery offering delicious viennoiseries ! I especially liked the raspberry danish and pain au chocolat. They close at 1pm so would recommend coming early morning.

Love la galette des rois. The real deal with la pate frangipane. The baguettes are delicious, like the ones found in Paris and the pastries are amazing. Try the "chausson aux pommes" et "croissant aux amandes".
Another solid French bakery in Brooklyn. A solid 4.5 star bakery that is definitely in competition with Bakeri, Tin Building, Dominique Ansel, and Radio Bakery. I have yet to try L'Appartement 4F, but La Bicyclette has extremely restrictive hours, in which the store is open from 8am-1pm.The croissant was a perfect 5/5 and the pear almond tart as well as apricot croissant were almost perfect at a 4.5/5. I have been to many top bakeries in France and Normandy including Cedric Grolet, Philip Conticini, Pierre Herme, Moderne Boulangerie, Chez Meneur where they were awarded the best crossiant Grand Prix awards, so a 5/5 is really difficult to pull off in relation, but well done La Bicyclette! They also have the much coveted Galette de Rois, otherwise known as the "King's Cake" or "Epiphany Cake" in which they honor the French tradition of hiding a "feve (little toy porcelain figurine). I have to try the baguettes as well as the sandwiches the next time I'm in the Williamsburg area as I'm local to Greenpoint.

The best French pastries I’ve found in New York - which is saying a lot!! They have cinnamon rolls weekends, but come early for them (they sometimes post if they’re available on their Instagram). Their brie sandwich and apple tart are other favorites. And the people there are super friendly.
