10.Bakery
Radio Bakery
Brooklyn, United States
There will be a line on a weekend morning at Radio Bakery (at both its locations, in Greenpoint and Prospect Heights ), but it moves quickly, and the wait is worth it for things like twice-baked pistachio croissants or chocolate ones with chocolate in the dough, on the inside, and on top. The bakery is run by the same folks behind Ridgewood favorite Rolo’s , and despite having just a few counter stools and sidewalk tables, it’s a great spot to romanticize your morning coffee and pastry ritual.
