My Park Slope friend raved about this place (ranked #1 out of her list of ten or so local spots) so I had to check it out during my nyc staycation. I woke up earlllllly and got there at 7:15a per her recommendation to see the display when it's "beautiful and full." And that it was! Options galore. Naturally, I was overwhelmed and wanted to get everything. After a couple of deep breaths to take in all of the aromas, I went with the rational (who even am I!?) choice and opted for two pastries--a sweet chocolate croissant and a savory egg bake. They were magnificent choices. I quickly walked back chez moi and for a second thought that it was too early to eat. But no, that egg bake lured me in. It was warm and creamy and flakey and savory and omg just divine. I proceeded to have the whole thing at 7:27a. Not a crumb was spared. And then late morning came around and I remembered I loved myself enough to also get a pain au chocolat. I have a pretty good artisanal bakery in my 'hood, but I had yet to taste a chocolate croissant stateside that equally distributes their chocolate on both sides...until Simple Loaf! Wowie! I loved every balanced buttery flakey chocolatey bite from left to right. Simple Loaf is simply a must try! Ohhh the things I would give to wake up to pastries like these every morning!

Really nice cozy cafe with standard bakery fare and other unique options. Their BEC croissant is fantastic - croissant is super flaky and soft, with thick cut bacon and fluffy eggs to match. My husband really likes their breakfast egg sandwich (poached egg). They have a nice quaint seating area towards the back - not a whole ton of room for a stroller but you can squeeze one toward the very back if available! I can't wait to try more of their menu next time.

The Meyer lemon rosemary sourdough here is superb. That's it - that's the review. I get it every time I visit and it's my favorite bakery bread of the last year or so. It's so flavorful, soft, and perfect for eating plain or as a sandwich. I love it! Simple Loaf also has a variety of breads and pastries, and outdoor seating both in front and on a patio in the back.

Today was Park Slope's turn to see a croissant tour, and Simple Loaf Bakehouse was one of the stops on the list!We ordered:- Kouign Amann - bottom was nicely caramelized and chewy, but top was burnt - Pain Suisse - extremely large and great value for price! this was my favorite out of the three, though personally I would likely go for almond croissant in the future; it had a nice crunch on the outside, and the chocolate didn't overwhelm with sweetness. I do think a pain suisse is technically supposed to contain custard itself, so this was more of a pain au chocolat.- Plain Croissant - well-shaped and perfectly golden! however it was a bit dense and chewy inside

Ordered a croissant, half tuna melt and cappuccino to go. Coffee is decent and sandwich was good. They offer half sandwiches for $9 and it comes with a small side salad which isn't bad for the price. They also have a wide selection of pastries to choose from from croissants to danishes and more. There is outdoor seating on the street as well as a cute backyard area in the back. Try to go early since many of the pastries sell out before the afternoon.

I specifically came here for the kouign amans and what I have learned is that kouign amans look different and are different in every place I have ever been. The kouign aman here, isn't shaped like ones I have had, but it was flavorful. I also had a raisin cinnamon role that was also very good. It was a great experience, met friends here. And they had tuna sandwiches, so it seems to be a very popular bakery.Will definitely keep on my list, the next time I am in town!

My fav artisan bakehouse in Park Slope, Brooklyn! It was my second visit and I could proudly guarantee that their pastries never let us down. It was quite busy at weekends but they provide plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, which is rare for a bakery! The backyard seats are comfy for gatherings or working, with a clean restroom.*Hot Cross BunsI came during Easter weekend and surprisingly found that they had hot cross buns! Best excuse to grab the once-in-a-year festive bread to celebrate Easter Sunday. Hot cross bun is a sweet yeasted bun marked with a cross on top in memory of crucifixion.The ones by Simple Loaf were studded with tangy raisins, citrus peels, yet the mixed spice was rather mild. It was denser than I thought, but we really enjoyed the complexity of flavors. Better eat it fresh as the bread texture becomes harder over time!*Kouign AmannThis kouign amann was HUGE. Probably the largest one I have ever seen so far lol. The exterior was fully caramelized with crystal sugar. A bit on the sweeter and crispier side for my liking. Yet the interior was puffy and drenched in buttery fragrance! My Recommendations:Hot Cross Bun, Pasteis de NataWorth Returning ? YES DEFINITELY

TO DIE FOR!! Everything was SUPER DELICIOUS!! They have a variety of sweet and savory. I could have had one of everything...each local that stopped in was friendly and most would give you a recommendation of their favorites. The service was notable and prompt. I would hands down go back in the future. As an Ohioan, I would recommend trying this place out if you like sweet and savory.

Lovely and delicious pastries. The egg sandwiches we had were excellent. Service was fine, sandwiches came out fast. My iced tea was starting to turn though and tasted off, so I ended up throwing it out.
