Bread Story was such a wonderful surprise in New York City ☕🥐
The coffee was excellent — smooth, rich, and perfectly comforting alongside their pastries. But the real star for me was the croissant: incredibly crunchy and flaky on the outside, while the inside stayed soft, buttery, and beautifully layered. Exactly the kind of texture a great croissant should have.
I also tried the Jerusalem bagel stick, and it was absolutely outstanding — flavorful, unique, and something I’d gladly come back for again.
Such a pleasure discovering a little gem like this in NYC. A perfect place to slow down, enjoy great coffee, and appreciate really good bread and pastries.
I did!!!
Back again for their croissant and coffee, hehehe
Cute spot for a quick bite. The cheese sticks were fresh & buttery even though I stopped by close to dinner time. The vegetables were fresh as well & the hummus tasted perfect. However, the service wasn't very friendly, the cashier was a bit rude, and rushed me out. It was close to their closing time, but I still had more than half an hour to quickly enjoy my meal. Also, the atmosphere is not the best. Looks like there's nobody to clean the tables & the floors once the customers leave.

After walking around Rockefeller center we decided to walk down 6th avenue to Bryant Park on a nice cool sunny day.
Between 48/49, we found this new looking Breads Bakery so we went in to look around. We have been to another location uptown on 3rd at 74/75. We had just finished lunch at EATALY so we did not buy anything this time.
That had a great selection of sandwiches and pastries. Fairly busy with tourists today. There is a fair amount of seating in the middle.
Looks great so will plan to stop in again when we are in the area.

So much yumminess in one place. The pastries are soft, airy and have a honeycomb texture. No wonder they won so many croissant awards. Absolute perfection.

Breads Bakery never disappoints! Their chocolate babka is rich, perfectly swirled, and absolutely worth the hype, and the carrot cake is incredibly moist and flavorful. Unsurprisingly, the chocolate babka was sold out, so I settled for the banana chocolate chip cake instead. If it’s anything like everything else they make, I know it’s going to be amazing!
