La Bicyclette Bakery

An overall great bakery with good service. Came here today for a chocolate roule and a baguette. The galette de roix are back in season and will need to get a slice of that this month too!The chocolate roule was buttery and chocolately what else can I ask for. The baguette here in my opinion is superb with a great crunch.I have tried numerous pastries from here and their cappuccino and nothing ever disappoints.*I always eat my pastries too quickly for a snapshot. Will try to get one next time I go.

TL;DR: THE CARBS ARE WORTH ITBakeries are a dime a dozen already - let alone in hip and 'young' WilliamsburgThat said, La Bicyclette kicks ass and you should absolutely comeThe pastries. The coffee. The staff. ALL GREAT!Merci beaucoup, La Bicyclette!

Funny enough, I pass by this bakery all the time but only recently was prompted to go cause my best friend from San Diego watched a youtube video that featured this place. There was a line but it moves fast. I got a pastry and baguette which are decently priced, especially for williamsburg. It's a very good bakery.

It's so great to have a proper French bakery in NYC!We bought a few items: Plain croissant (decent but could be flakier and more buttery). It's $3.75 which is inexpensive given the flour and butter are imported from France, and it's labor intensive. Baguette: so light and fluffy, crispy on the outside, and only $2, it's a no brainerBlueberry Pastry Cream: spectacular, the best item of the ones I tried. The cream is delicious and flavorful and creamy and light all at once. And the pastry was nice and flaky. 10/10Chocolate and Almond Croissant: it was good, a solid pastry and it's not something I normally buy. Fig jam Croissant: this was only available the day we went in (a Saturday). It was really nice, the cream was delicious and fig itself and the past. It was $8 which is not bad for the amount of work that goes in. Service was friendly and quick as well. There isn't any room inside to eat, it's just a grab and go type of place, and outside there are two benches.

I sometimes have felt that the croissants in New York are better than in Paris. The same cannot be said of NYC's baguettes, which are universally subpar.Until La Bicyclette that is. Their baguettes are of the highest caliber, and they even have Beurre de Baratte and other French butters available so that you have all the makings of a perfect weekend breakfast.For the weekdays, their croissants are also superb.

This bakery has been on my list for ages and it did not disappoint. I happened to have their bread at Fradei in Fort Greene a few weeks earlier, and it was on my mind ever since, so I paid a visit on a Saturday morning around 9:30.Line was out the door, but it moved quickly and I had everything in hand 10 mins later. The haul:+ Baguette + Cold brew+ Apricot pastry+ Croissant The baguette was fire - and only $2!! - and the apricot pastry was also incredible. Super solid croissant, too. Everything was so good that I got back in line and ordered a blackberry pastry for the road. True Paris vibes!

Ordered:Croissant (~$4)Croissant Amande Choco (~$5)Blueberry Pastry Cream (~$5)Fig Jam Croissant (~$8) - special of the dayFrench Baguette (~$2)Aya's take:Cozy French bakery in Brooklyn! La Bicyclette is the real deal serving fresh pastries at reasonable prices. Everything we had was really fresh and well-made. The standouts were the Fig Jam Croissant and Blueberry Pastry Cream. The Fig Jam Croissant was the special of the day and I'm so glad I snagged one. The croissant was flaky, the fig jam was sweet and nutty, and the fig on top was so delicious. The vanilla bean cream (at least that's what I think it was) was unbelievably good - I can have a dollop of that on a croissant and be in heaven. So good! The Blueberry Pastry Cream was also really nice balanced from the sweet and tart blueberries to the smoothness from the cream to the crisp croissant. Even the Croissant Amande Choco really surprised me. The worker said this is one of the few spots that sells a chocolate almond croissant and if that's the case, this is a top contender. It has just the right amount of almond, almond paste, and chocolate. I liked it the more I ate it. The Croissant was a solid classic and the French Baguette was super fresh but honestly if you're not planning to eat it that day or within a few hours, skip it. It got pretty hard despite storing it properly. Proper bakery in Brooklyn with great pastries, definitely recommend checking them out!

Ended a Friday morning group run at this lovely neighborhood bakery at the group's recommendation. We showed up 10-15 minutes before opening but you could see the staff hard at work preparing the goods, as well as customers starting to line up around the corner. Don't fret, service is equally quick and friendly and there's plenty for everyone. They have a nice mix of offerings such as breakfast pastries, croissants, baguettes, loafs, and even sandwiches for an afternoon snack. If possible.. Try. Everything.

I came here a few months ago to buy bread, and finally made it back to try their pastries. My friend and I shared a tomato tart and a chocolate roll (like a pain Suisse, but with chocolate). Both were very good. The chocolate roll was a little more bready than I expected, but still delicious. It's apparent that all the products are very well-made. Service is good, and honestly, I don't mind that it's take-out only.

La Bicyclette Bakery offers an efficient and pleasant experience. The service is excellent--friendly and quick--but it's worth noting that there's no place to sit and enjoy your purchase on-site. It's more of a grab-and-go spot. The pastries are incredibly fresh, with a perfect balance of flavor and texture, though they're a bit on the heavier side. I could only eat half of my pastry in one sitting. If you're looking for a quick stop to pick up high-quality baked goods, this is definitely the place.
